The Gig Is Up is at best a brief overview of what the gig economy is and/or is becoming but fails to offer very much new information about how to succeed in it. Mostly rehashed ideas given new names and repurposed from sales training to freelancing and passed off as something unique.

The information about what is happening to the marketplace is useful, though available almost any where. If that is what you mostly want then this book is as good as any for it. Frankly, for how to succeed in this new economy, you would be just as well served going to sales training books and simply taking the information and adapting it for your niche, since that is what this book offers except without the depth the other manuals offer on actually accomplishing something.

I will say she must be very good at selling herself if she has been able to make a living at calling this something substantial, and to convince a university she has something important to offer their students? I don't see it. Sounds more like a scam artist, as she explains quite gleefully when describing how she "fooled" clients into believing she had a brick and mortar business when she started.

I don't recommend this and would suggest that if you want good in-depth information then look elsewhere and avoid these types of quick fix cash cows. These authors write these thin light on detail books for one purpose and it isn't to help anyone but themselves.

Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.

A good overview on the gig economy and of its ups and downs.
It is a reasonably well-written book, well-researched and nicely presented. But it is also quite light in detail it is quite possible for the author to dive deeper into the subjects and present a broader variety of the gig economy websites, explain some of the specific differences between apps and web services that sound similar but which offer different things to its customers and providers.
Having read the e-book version, I also didn't enjoy the consistent mention of the sources where the data is pulled from. This source overview could have tucked at the back of the book, especially since some of the sources are used and quoted repeatedly. This part made me enjoy the book considerably less than I had hoped for.

Clear and descriptive. The guidance for budding freelancers lacks depth. Also very poorly formatted ARC copy. Editors should take care of it even if its ARC.

A good guide book to freelancers who want to manoeuvre in the gig economy. Concise yet comprehensive. Relevant advice.

I have to admit to giving up part way through as I just could not connect to the book. I was excited to start the journey as I moved from a senior position in marketing in a corporate company to starting my own business, from home, in 1995. I related to the notion that there is a great deal of uncertainty to doing so, being the master of your own destiny creates a freedom but can also be lonely, so I would have appreciated more guidance in those early days.

Perhaps it was the deception the author owned to early on in the book, “In 2004, we had a huge secret! Shhhh!” MizRahi goes on to acknowledge that while the reality was that they were working from an in-home studio, they were masquerading as an. “Actual brick-and-mortar studio and pretended that our scrappy team all actually went to work there every day, “ giving the impression that she is proud of the deception and claiming you could not be taken seriously. Any other freelancer feel uncomfortable with this?

The intention, as I understand it, Is to show how a digital marketplace can make up a comfortable living, etc.. Perhaps for a different audience?

My thanks to the author and Greenleaf Book Group Press for the free copy for my review, it is much appreciated.
