Learning how to get gigs — the economic reality in the gig economy — is the new survival skill of our times. Technological change is a disruptive force, and many jobs today are changing or disappearing entirely. Freelancers who can adapt and respond to the new opportunities being created will emerge as winners in this new gig economy. But how do you become a freelancer? There’s no university degree in freelancing, and jumping in cold can be exhilarating but also disorienting. Julian Haber’s book Gigonomics: A Field Guide for Freelancers in the Gig Economy will guide you on your path to becoming a prosperous freelancer. Designed to show you how to start small, quickly and right now, this book is packed with practical advice for launching your freelance career. Topics covered include: • How to think like a freelancer about time, money and work • How to find a steady stream of new clients (and hold on to the ones you have) • How to sell — and keep on selling • How to network effectively offline and in the real world • How to use technology to market, be found and be chosen While the creative domains have long been filled with freelancers, the future of freelancing will see many more professions convert to contract work. You may be: • a new graduate, looking for ways to build up a professional reputation and start putting your education to work; • a first-time freelancer setting out to conquer the world; • an older or displaced worker looking to leverage your experience and skills or build a second career; • a recovering corporate warrior with a new outlook on life, looking for ways to parlay your contacts into rewarding contracts; • a recent immigrant, highly trained but having trouble breaking into the traditional job market; • or a seasoned freelancer just looking for some fresh ideas. Julian Haber has spent the past 15 years building a thriving career as a freelance photographer, one gig at a time. In his book, he shares everything from how to turn awkward small talk into a big contract, to many trail-tested techniques for finding your niche, avoiding pitfalls, getting gigs and building a sustainable practice. Whether you’re already freelancing and looking for ways to grow your client list, or are starting out brand new to the game and want to learn how to play, this book is for you.
