My friend and Anywired contributor Mark Hayward is auctioning his blog, MyTropicalEscape.com. If you’re interested in blogging, living overseas, personal freedom and entrepreneurship (as I’m sure some of you are), it might be worth looking into.

Location Independent shares a brief guide to getting paid online and explains how to put your business on auto-pilot as you travel the world. To do that, you’ll need to put together a portable office. How come I didn’t write any of these?

Lea Woodward describes the 5 challenges of doing freelance work from anywhere (and how to overcome them).

Nick Cester advises against any self-employed person describing themselves as a “Creative Director”, “A creative”, anything with the word “Executive” in it, “Art Director”, “Studio Manager”, “Graphic Artist”, “Commercial Artist”, just “Director”, “Entrepreneur” or just “Freelancer”. Here’s why. His post on working from anywhere without blowing your budget is also worth reading.

As individuals who might resemble small business owners, we’re supposed to care about things like personal finance. My favorite PF blogger J.D. Roth shares his top 25 books about money.

Ten bloggers provide their best bit of non-intuitive advice for setting up a home office. One or two of them mention investing in a comfortable chair and I couldn’t agree more. I moved from a wooden high-back to a $199 black leather chair a couple of weeks ago and it’s been worth every cent not to have a sore back!

One rarely-discussed way to earn an income online is through stock trading. The Simple Dollar shares six steps for a beginning stock investor. They are 1) figure out your goals, 2) know your risk tolerance, 3) For short term goals, keep the money in cash, 4) For medium-term goals, diversify at your comfort level, 5) For long-term goals, stocks are a pretty good place to put your money, and 6) the best place for first-time stock investors to put their money is a low-cost index fund.

Lifehacker shares its laptop lover’s guide to productivity on the go. As someone who wrote a guest-post for Freelance Folder lying in an empty bath about a week ago — because I felt like it — I’m starting to think of myself as a bona fide laptop fanatic.

The result of my dry-bath productivity: 3 reasons why every freelancer should blog.

High-speed internet has graced my house and as a result I’m catching up on all the YouTube tomfoolery dial-up forced me to miss out on. In-between videos of incredibly well-trained dogs I’ve been doing educational stuff (honest), like watching this fascinating talk by Tim Ferriss (author of The Four-Hour Work Week, which I own) and Marci Alboher (author of One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model For Work/Life Success, which I now want to own) given as part of Authors@Google.

They discuss cool things like remote working agreements and being a “slash”, i.e. someone who identifies with more than one career. As a blogger/freelancer/student/entrepreneur/consultant I really enjoyed hearing about other “slashes”. Maybe you’re a “slash” too?
