From Side Hustle to Six Figures: The Gig Economy Strategy No One’s Talking About

Good Girls Get Rich Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of Good Girls Get Rich! I’m Karen Yankovich, and today we’re talking about something a bit fun and a little bit different — the gig economy. Now, I know when you hear “gig economy,” you’re probably thinking Uber drivers or Instacart shoppers, and yes, that’s definitely part of it. But let’s shift the narrative a bit here, okay?

About the Episode:

The gig economy is much bigger than just delivery apps — it’s freelance writing, social media management, consulting, and so much more! Whether you want to work a few hours a week or build a multi-six or seven-figure empire, the opportunities are endless. And as we all know, personal branding is key to thriving in this space. That’s where LinkedIn becomes your best friend!

We’re diving deep into:

• How the gig economy is more than just side hustles – it’s your path to financial freedom and long-term wealth
• The power of LinkedIn branding to stand out in the competitive landscape and secure those high-paying gigs
• Why focusing on your unique value proposition can eliminate income gaps, especially for women
• How to create a personal brand that positions you for higher-ticket gigs and long-term success
• The steps to flip your mindset and embrace premium pricing strategies for those big opportunities

The gig economy is booming, and trust me, it’s not just a trend—it’s a huge opportunity for women like us to take control of our careers and incomes. I’m passionate about helping you navigate this shift and use platforms like LinkedIn to build massive visibility and credibility.

Key Takeaways:

• The gig economy is exploding, and it’s not just for entry-level jobs. It’s for professionals ready to step into a new chapter with flexibility and freedom.
• Creating a strong LinkedIn profile isn’t just about listing your skills—it’s about telling your story, standing out, and commanding top dollar for your expertise.
• If you’re struggling with income gaps, especially if you’re a mom (yes, there’s data behind this), you can change that by building your own path in the gig economy.
• High-ticket opportunities are within your reach, and they often start with the conversations you’re having on LinkedIn today. Let’s start showing up like the high earners we’re meant to be!
