I don't want to knock the sharing economy. I do want to provide a caution, however. Based on both my brother's experience as well as my own experience trying to make money from some web writing platforms, I already had a good idea that it might be difficult to freelance using these platforms that, at first glance, seem so easy! The research I conducted seemed to support that conclusion. My advice is be smart. Use the platforms to make extra money, get work experience, and test the waters...but probably not for a good long-term livelihood!
I wanted to write this book to share my experience and share what I had learned in 10 years of freelancing, but then I thought, "Who am I to give people advice?" So then I thought I'd compare notes with others in business for themselves. But who? When I began really considering this question, I realized that I had a "hidden ecosystem" of friends and acquaintances all around me who were self-employed. Somehow, we rarely focus on that in our day-to-day lives. These 10 individuals (running 9 businesses) were all happy to provide their knowledge and insights. Their stories read like "hero's journeys." We all are living our own hero journeys . . . what is yours?
