About the book
In the last five years, the world of work has changed dramatically. Thanks to technology companies like Uber, TaskRabbit, and Instacart, the new \"gig economy\" seems to constantly be in the news.

- 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.
