The Advent of the Gig Economy
We live in a world where more and more people are outsourcing. Instead of hiring full-time employees companies are hiring people for single tasks. Smaller and smaller companies are getting in on the game and now even individuals are outsourcing.
Sometimes I have too many writing jobs on the go and hire a sub-contractor.
With this shift in the market, the opportunities for people looking to make some side money or ditch a job they hate are expanding daily.
Every single day there are more article and blog post writing jobs available.
Many other markets are exploding in the same way from freelance graphics to coding and just about everything in between.
