lovely work @craigjbarber it would be great to see a rating of the recruiters by freelancers as they try to get away with anything they can. Better still: someone who would represent freelancers and who would be a actual freelancers' agent. YunoJuno are a bit like that. Also worth checking out: Futureheads.
Craig Barber
@escapehatchco Yes, the recruiters are tough to rate / favour etc as we're all dealing with so many. I listed the largest and the best ones that are getting me work lately I guess.
Tom Flemming
I bet they would love to pay for an ad on your pages.
Craig Barber
@escapehatchco I reached out to them... Crickets unfortunately... Now I'm pumping loads of free traffic their way!

@craigjbarber perhaps time to anonymise them, Grasshopper.

Hey guys. I’ve been freelancing in the creative industry in London for the last 10 years. Along the way I’ve learnt a thing or two. I’d like to pass this stuff along to my fellow creatives. Based on my own experience, as well as some great tips from fellow creatives, I’ve put together a free, comprehensive guide for all things freelance in the London creative industry. If you’re a copywriter, designer, photographer, art director, creative director or illustrator currently freelancing in London, or looking to freelance in London this guide is for you.

Looking forward to seeing this be an indispensable guide. :)
Craig Barber
@nickclement Thanks Nick! So far so good. I can iterate based on feedback which is good. Already had a guy contact me in regards to some corrections which I fixed pronto : )
Bryn Taylor
Great job, Craig. Some really useful tips.
Craig Barber
@bryntaylor99 Thanks Bryn, it feels great to get it into the wild : )
David West
Looks great - can't wait to get deeper into the guide! Congrats @craigjbarber!
Craig Barber
@david_west Thanks David. Yeah the creative community seem to be embracing it which is great. I'll be adding more stuff in the coming months.
Tom Whatley
Nice guide, Craig! Slightly off-topic, but how do you find Crunch from a service perspective?
Craig Barber
@thetomwhatley Hey, no it's on topic really. I find them very good. The reason being is I'm pretty crap with numbers and tax etc. I can call or email them when I have one of those types of questions and they're really good.
Tom Whatley
@craigjbarber nice, I struggle with the same kind thing so that's good to know. Cheers for the response!
Tom Flemming
@craigjbarber would love to see a further guide on those kind of resources :)
Craig Barber
@escapehatchco Hey there, sure I'll keep that in mind when I'm updating it.
