How much do you make driving an Uber. Will it pay down the principal on the money you owe.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to be a part of the 1099 economy and be a jobapreneur?!<\/p>\n

Driving Uber gets you out of the frame of mind that business is really about distribution. I wanted to call this article “Arbitraging Time. Our attempt to use Uber to pay down debt”. Paying down debt seems to be about working more hours to service (ahem pay down) debt. In short, you arbitrage time driving an Uber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Paying down debt by working hours is an age old issue. Indentured servitude is an extreme where you owe so much that you sell your offspring to be a sex worker in Japan \ud83d\ude41 True story: Number 1 employer of illegal sex workers = Japan. See this case where an Asian sex slave in Tokyo is actually making more money*…)<\/div>\n

\nPerhaps the halo of early driver windfalls still drives drivers to drive for Uber? Let us lever that goodwill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Business is about distribution.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Let us stop arbitraging time and start arbitraging the Internet. Let us (err you!) start doing\u00a0<\/span>#leadGen<\/a>. Let’s start getting paid helping to do distribution.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
