Contracting in the UK

I made the very daunting but very exciting decision about 4 years ago to give up my permanent job and try my hand at contracting and consulting. This is something that I had wanted to do since I was youngster, running my own company, making my own decisions and  building a successful business. It took me until my mid-late twenties to finally realise my ambition. Over the course of the last four years through a combination of hard work and good luck  I have had a very enjoyable and very rewarding experience that has been both financially and professionally rewarding. Contracting and Business


About 3 months after I made my decision to become a contractor and start my business the world and UK economy suffered the worst financial crisis since the 1930's and that was followed by a pretty deep recession, the like of which has been not seen for sixty years. During that time I have been very fortunate, I was able to maintain paying clients and keep my small company going and we have even experienced some small growth and hopefully as the economy makes a slow and pain staking recovery my business will be in a stronger position than when it started out.


It hasn't been without its challenges and some set backups though, a recent bad experience led me to start up this contracting section of my blog where I will try my best to share my experiences with you, If anyone out there has any advice to offer then I’m are always open to comments. Either leave a comment in the post in question or feel free to contact me me[@]gethynellis.com and I’ll be more than happy to add a post for you.

  3. Tools like Prime for iOS or Followers + can be very useful. You also have some alternative for Android, like Whentogram.There are many applications, such as iconosquare, for example, that show you who does not follow you on Instagram. The problem is that it only gives you the information about the relationship you have with each user, that is, if you follow him / her and vice versa.In addition, many times, you have to navigate from user to user, which is obviously impractical.What interests us is an application that gives us global statistics, that is,https://socialfollowerspro.uk/buy-facebook-followers/ a list of people who have recently stopped following you.There are several applications with which you can see it, here is a list. Consulting these statistics periodically you can make a very comfortable and fast follow-up of those who stop following.
