There is no doubt in my mind that times are tough for a lot of people. And in many ways that could easily be me, in fact, it should be me based on the style of businesses I run. However, it isn't. I am beginning work on a new eCommerce project tomorrow which could be one of the most promising start ups I have worked on personally. I will talk more of this as time goes on as it will be a great case study of building and marketing a website in a small marketplace using very common products, far from niche.

Additionally traffic on my other primary site hit quite a decent January high yesterday. Last weekend it hit quite a low and panic set in but it has bounced back nicely.

So, I don't doubt we are in a recession and times are tough for a lot of people. But it seems opportunities still exist.
