Samenvatting

Tired of the 9–to–5 grind and want a way to earn or to supplement your income? Easy.

The media has named the growing trend toward micro–entrepreneurship "the Rise of the Creative Class," "the Gig Life," or "the freelance economy." All of those refer to the nearly 4 million workers who were self–employed this past year, and millions of others who currently supplement their income with freelance work. While the trend has been spotted before, there′s one stark difference between micro–entrepreneurs today and the "Free Agent Nation" citizens of the late ′90s: technology. Micro–Entrepreneurship For Dummies shows you how to navigate this confusing technological landscape in order to make a contributable profit.

Micro–Entrepreneurship For Dummies aids you in making the best use of micro–entrepreneurial platforms, with helpful advice that includes information on signing up for and selling products on websites such as Airbnb, Craigslist, Taskrabbit, Uber, and Etsy.

Micro–enterprise, using online platforms to sell products or services,??is a proven way to earn extra money and supplement household income
In today′s struggling economy, the importance of self–run businesses and small enterprise is growing as more people take lower–paying jobs and need a little extra spending money
Shows you how to sign up for and sell products online

Micro–Entrepreneurship For Dummies appeals to anyone looking to earn or supplement their income from home.
