There is a strong and growing trend toward an interest in income opportunities that are designed around two basic attributes:

1. Easy to understand and do.
2. Flexibility and freedom in how the work can be accomplished.

The incredible growth of the gig economy is proof of the concepts expressed. Anyone, regardless of age or any specific level of experience, can explore the new possibilities that are available. With a desire to leverage underutilized time, assets, knowledge, skills, or experience can now find something that fits and supports a desire to earn incremental income. The gig economy is that opportunity. Interest rates are now north of 8% on average, higher in some places. Wage increases are not expected to keep pace therefore, every $5,000.00 in income is possibly losing $400.00 in purchasing power.

We may not be able to control what is happening externally; however, we can control what we do. There are equalizers that can help to create other forms of complimentary income that can make a difference. The gig economy can be viewed as a potential equalizer. Gig income of $500.00 represents a 5% increase to other annual income of $100,000.00. Gig income of $10,000.00 or more represents a 10% or more increase to other sources of income of $100,000.00. Our most recent research revealed that 69% of gig workers are now working multiple gigs … proof again that there is a growing desire to test micro entrepreneurial skills. Gigs are more than part time jobs as we clearly reveal in Ultimate Gig. Reading about all aspects of the gig economy, as shared in the book, is worth the time and study.

The insights provided herein do not replace the concerns we all share for the happenings in the world which challenge our fundamental beliefs in freedom. The insights shared are intended to help decipher the current environment from a personal perspective. Ultimate Gig and Ultimate Gig Resources can help others better understand the growing opportunity of options that the gig economy has fueled. For those of you already involved in your Ultimate Gig(s), you may be a gig provider . When you engage in a subset of gig economy such as direct selling, you represent access to a brand(s) that others may not be aware of so no better time to promote what you offer through the tools provided by your company to make unique products, services, and opportunities available to others.

We know that consumers search for personalized services and products that can enhance their objectives to enjoy life. I recently heard a friend say, I went to the mall and there was no one there. Shoppers are online and workers have lost jobs. You, as a participant in the gig economy function as an intermediary. You as an intermediary, with a brand that makes itself available online, can benefit while gaining the flexibility of engagement when and how you want to engage. If you are able to function as a gig provider (agents, sellers, direct sellers), you can also share with others what someone shared with you and duplicate your efforts through the efforts of others who also engage in acquiring more customers to the chosen brand.

Ultimate Gig and Ultimate Gig Resources are the resources designed to help readers and engagers better understand and to share more effectively. By sharing with others, directing others to information beneficial to their thoughts about what they do and can do, you add value to the lives of others. When you add value to the lives of others it usually ends up being good for business!
