In the last five years, the world of work has changed dramatically. Thanks to technology companies like Uber, Airbnb, TaskRabbit, and Instacart, the new "gig economy" seems to constantly be in the news. But most of the media focus is on the low end of the skill spectrum; little attention is being paid to the best-in-class professionals who have chosen an independent path. New digital talent platforms are developing at a rapid clip with a wide variety of business models, many catering to very precise, high-value skill sets.

Thriving in the Gig Economy is an actionable guidebook outlining ways to maneuver in this new world to create a path that optimizes success. You will learn:

The differences between the gig economy and the sharing and on-demand economies.
The best ways to work with digital talent platforms and traditional consulting intermediaries.
Commonsense logistics around digital branding, contracts, and employment issues.
The tools and services to enhance your practice.

The growth in this marketplace is exponential, and Thriving in the Gig Economy is one way for you to take advantage of all its potential.

This was a recommendation from a Youtube influencer, I have to say that a lot of topics are relatable especially in today's economy, with heavy job retrenchments, etc. This author seeks to show you the ways to survive, from how to create, manage and execute your personal finances to helping you look for opportunities to make a living.

I am happy that I bought this book

I was curious about the Gig Economy when I chose this book for a book report for a college course. I am happy that I bought this book. There are some very good insights as well as good information about how the Gig Economy works and how to get involved. Keeping this one close by for reference.

Excellent insight into today's gig economy

This is a useful guide to both the independent consultant/worker as well as business owners looking to take advantage of the new gig economy. Marion brings such a deep understanding and perspective to the topic and organizes all the disparate bits of information (noise) into logical and bite sized nuggets for consumption.
