Great wages
Being a freelancer doesn’t always mean you get to set your own rate per hour, especially if you work for companies like Uber or Lyft who have their own rules regarding wages.
But, it certainly doesn’t mean you won’t get paid as much as a regular full-time job if you choose to work in the sharing economy. In fact, there are many opportunities where you can make more than the average full-time job.
For example, some of the top Uber drivers earn the equivalent of full-time job wages at $15 per hour. Of course, you have to remember that you won’t be entitled to employment benefits, like healthcare or dental care, but many time people find themselves paying the majority of the bill because employers only pay a percentage anyway.
Whether you’re considering business opportunities, personal freedom or your finances, working in the sharing economy seems to have many advantages. And, with the popularity of sharing economy businesses rising, you’d be a fool not to jump on board.
