    About this ebook

    Sharing is caring. Sharing makes you money. It's time to take your slice of the pie.

    Are you looking to make ends meet? Have you tried to work two, three, or more jobs without making much headway? Experienced entrepreneur Glenn Carter can show you how to earn extra money every month with minimal time and effort. Welcome to the sharing economy.

    The sharing economy pays out millions of dollars a day to people just like you. By the year 2020, this enterprise will be worth over $300 billion. The time to get involved is now, and it's easier than you'd think.

    Secrets of the Sharing Economy goes beyond well-known platforms like ride-sharing company Uber and home-sharing enterprise Airbnb to tell you about over 50 other online platforms you can leverage to turn underused assets into income-producing nest eggs.

    In this book, you'll discover:
    - How to turn free time and a love for animals into a pet sitting side gig
    - Why people are willing to pay for car sharing while you're not driving
    - What you can do with your extra clothes to line your own pockets
    - How a love for crafting can earn you cash on the side
    - And much, much more!

    Glenn Carter is a family man and a full-time employee, but he's cracked the code to making side income through a variety of sharing economy platforms without letting them take over his life. Take a journey with Glenn to find out more about this new system and how you can implement money-making action plans today.

    Secrets of the Sharing Economy is a fascinating and informative read that can help you live a more flexible and financially-savvy lifestyle. Whether you need to make an extra hundred dollars a month or run your own full-time business, this book will show you exactly how to capitalize on a thriving trend.

      Dear Sharers,

      There have been many people who have shared the burden of creating this resource for people anxious to jump in to the sharing economy. I would like to personally thank the hilarious Phil Lebovits, Kyle Hoobin for the amazing cover design, and Vincent Saldana for his interior design magic.

      Above all, words cannot begin to express the debt I owe to my wife, best friend, and CEO of Cartori Inc., Alexandra. Despite my absenteeism and two demanding, yet amazing, daughters, you have over-achieved in every aspect of your life. I am so proud of you and love you to the moon and back.

      Some economists predict [that] the sharing economy could be as disruptive as the Industrial Revolution – LA Times, July 22, 2015

      Just as YouTube did with TV and the blogosphere did to mainstream media, the share economy blows up the industrial model of companies owning and people consuming. - Forbes, Jan. 23, 2013

      Chapter 1: Become a Casual Capitalist

      1. The Casual Capitalist Series and Community

      Welcome fellow Casual Capitalists to the first installment in the Casual Capitalist Series, Secrets of the Sharing Economy. Throughout this book and others, we will be sharing with you several truths about income production, personal finance, and investments. The truth is, almost everything you do now can produce income. You just need to discover and leverage certain tools.

      You might be wondering exactly what we mean by the term ‘Casual Capitalist.’ It is actually quite simple, and it has nothing to do with lounge chairs. A Casual Capitalist has been termed a number of things over the years: chicken entrepreneur, moonlighter, freelancer, amongst others.

      A Casual Capitalist is someone who gets bored in their day-to-day lives and decides to do something about it. A Casual Capitalist seeks out income generating opportunities outside of their full-time employment. A Casual Capitalist gathers and digests information. A Casual Capitalist wants to make their lives better, as well as those around them, by creating financial stability.

      A Casual Capitalist is willing to try new income generating strategies. A Casual Capitalist takes actions. A Casual Capitalist digests information, like you are doing now, and develops specific action plans. A Casual Capitalist understands that you cannot get rich quickly. A Casual Capitalist is casual in looking for income streams, because they understand the commitments of everyday life: family, work, friends, and so on.

      Most importantly, as a Casual Capitalist, you understand that you do not have to complete this endeavor alone. The Casual Capitalist Series and Community are here to help you along the way. We are mentors, peers, and sharers.

      Secrets of the Sharing Economy is the first installment in the Casual Capitalist Series. Many other books, resources, and proven income systems will be unveiled over the coming months and years, so please stay tuned by signing up to our mailing list at www.thecasualcapitalist.com. The ultimate goal of the Casual Capitalist Series is to provide a large toolbox of proven income strategies that you can tap into at your leisure.

      What we will create is a community of entrepreneurs who have implemented and succeeded in many business endeavors. Gradually, the Casual Capitalist Community will take shape and act as networking tool in your toolbox of income strategies. Stay tuned.

      The first tool you will need in your toolbox is a hammer, a blunt force tool. In this sense, this book will act as your hammer. The two nails we will work on are consumer debt and anxiety. These are the two most significant impediments in your life right now: your consumer debt and your aversion to getting out there and starting small businesses.

      By using the sharing economy as your playground, this book will help you eliminate your consumer debt, allowing you move on to bigger and better income strategies. To keep your finger on the pulse, please sign up at www.thecasualcapitalist.com.

      After you create other streams of income, the lingering obligation of consumer debt can be easily eliminated.

      Second, most people think about starting businesses on the side, but they
