    Like everybody else. my clients are cutting down on costs. I've lost a couple of clients and now, I'm working on to keep the existing ones. Still making money from the business but it slowed down a little. I guess everybody feels the crunch one way or the other. Just don't give up because things will pick up soon -- whenever that is.

    I am working for my own.

    For me, it has not really affected in some way. Some companies have cutdown their budget on online campaigning, but they just cannot neglect online profits. So hoping for the best as the economy emerges..

    However bad it is now, it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. That said, there are no doubt opportunities too. Some business thrive in times like these.

    I have been affected some, but not too badly. I am probably down about 10%.
