Do you think online services are recession proof, would your services that you offer as a freelancer survive a 2008 type market crash?
Sometimes I wonder about this stuff and the answer I find myself concluding scares me.
Back in 2008 I wasn't really a freelance, just a kid in high-school, but I already had a couple of blogs and I was selling plenty site-wide backlinks on webmaster forums.
I remember not making the same amount because the overall backlink market had become a little cheaper overnight, but overall things weren't that different, I was still able to find clients that wanted to pay for links.
Now, I have no idea how affected were people in programming or design, but since everyone was affected in some way or the other I bet they also felt a downfall in earnings and clients.
So how can we make sure we are recession proof here on SEOclerks?
Do you actually think things can get bad for us freelancers? Will we lose clients and money in a 2008 type recession?

When that happens it means more people are working for themselves, and more people need services, especially online services.
I think it is now becoming easier than ever to work for yourself online and to outsource the tasks you are not qualified or able to do, or perhaps you just don't have the time to get to those things.
So nobody is safe, but I do think that with every challenge also comes opportunity if you have the right attitude. I don't think anything is recession proof at all. However when there is a recession lots of people lose their jobs and struggle to find another job. I believe that even in a recession there is growth in a way because when someone is faced with the choice of having to make a plan, as in make money for themselves somehow... or let themselves and their families starve, I believe most people will get seriously creative.
