Doers pursue entrepreneurship because we love the freedom it brings us – to build our own schedule, to pursue our goals on our own terms, and be our own boss. Of course, we’re also in it to live the life we want, which means making enough money to support whatever lifestyle we dream of having. As a freelancer, making more money is often is a matter of strategy as much as anything else. That’s why this week’s Gig Economy News is all about what you can do to grow your income, no matter what your industry.

Keep these in your pocket and we’re sure you’ll see great returns!
