About this workshop: If you’ve decided to capitalize on your side hustle and become a gig economy worker or freelancer, or are thinking about it, this webinar is for you.
The gig economy—also called sharing economy or access economy—is an activity where people earn income outside a regular 9 to 5 job or provides an additional income stream. Often, it’s through a digital platform like an app or website.
Getting started as a gig worker can get a little more complicated than you might think because there are potentially licenses, taxes, and insurances you need to consider.
Gig Economy can include activities such as
Property rental
Running errands or completing tasks
Driver with Uber, Lyft, or a similar service
Renting equipment
Providing creative or professional services
Providing other temporary, on-demand or freelance work
This webinar is designed to give an overview of factors Gig Economy workers should consider – among those considerations are financial, tax, legal and insurance.
