The Twentysomething Guide to Creative Self-Employment
Considering starting your own business? Don’t have a lot of money? Interested in finding out how to rent your body out for scientific experimentation, and other forms of alternative income?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
I wrote The Twentysomething Guide to Creative Self-Employment, which gave young (and the not-so-young) entrepreneurs all of the advice I had to offer from my own experience and my many, many mistakes. It received rave, if rather sporadic, reviews from those who managed to discover it—and then, like so many books, it disappeared from bookstore shelves and the public eye.
Until now. I’m publishing the complete book here, in various formats, for anyone to download.
Why? Because I think it’s a damn good book. Because in the recession of 2009, there are plenty of people who could benefit from learning how to start sideline ventures with as little risk as possible. And because—frankly—I haven’t seen a dime from this work in 13 years, and it would be peachy keen if anyone who thinks my book is worthwhile wants to kick in to the voluntary tip jar.
But that’s not necessary at all. The PDF is free. Have at it. And by all means, let me know what you think.
If you’re interested, check out the Creative Tip of the Day, a daily paragraph or so of interesting information taken from the book. It’s meant to serve as a daily tidbit, or a whack on the side of the head, or a Zen koan that might happen to synchronistically change your life. Read them here, or subscribe to the RSS feed.
Best,
Jeff Porten
