Taxes & Finances for Temporary Workers—Detailed Writing Samples
This is a collection of four guides that I wrote for my client, Wonolo, and that are published on their blog. These writing portfolio samples are based on a theme of helping temporary workers to manage their money, understand their tax liabilities, and reduce their financial stress. I wrote these guides for individuals that want to:
Understand how to reduce the taxes they owe on their temporary earnings.
Categorize and understand their spending and budget to manage their financial stress.
See if retirement planning could be right for them as a temporary worker.
Think ahead as part of their tax and financial plans.
You will find links to each published sample below.

Tax Planning for Gig Economy Workers — What You Need to Know
“Taxes are one of the two certain things in life, and if you’re a gig economy worker, it’s certain you need to know how taxes are going to impact you. Although the tax system can be complicated, a little forward planning and awareness can ensure you’re prepared for tax season, and reduce the shock of a big tax bill.
The gig economy is a growing part of the workforce — whether you work with Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, Airbnb, Fiverr, Postmates, Wonolo, or another marketplace, we’ll cover the basics you need to know about your tax situation.”
Maximizing Expenses and Minimizing Taxes as an On-Demand Worker
“Paying taxes is a fact of life. The good news is, if you’re an on-demand or temporary worker, you have more control over when you pay your taxes and how much you owe.
One of the biggest advantages of working for yourself is that you can claim expenses in the course of providing your services. While some of these expenses may be obvious, there are more subtle expenses you can claim too. We’ll let you know about some expenses you can claim, and how to make the most of them. Disclaimer: this should not be construed as legal or financial advice.”
How to Reduce Financial Stress as a Temporary Worker
“Financial stress and not having enough money to pay the bills is a huge pressure for many Americans. As a temporary or on-demand worker, you need to take even better care of your money, since income can be unpredictable.
We’re here to help. Follow our plan below and you can get on top of your expenses, build up some savings, pay down your debt, and even invest in your future. Your peace-of-mind will improve, and you can enjoy the freedom of on-demand work without worrying about every cent.”
Are You a Temp or Gig Economy Worker? You Need a Retirement Plan
“If you’re a temporary or on-demand worker, retirement planning might not be something you think about much. It’s easy to understand why — if you need money now, you don’t want to commit it to a fund that you can’t touch for 30 or 40 years. Maybe you’ll start next month, or next year.
Plus, and let’s be honest here, retirement planning just isn’t that interesting. With all the talk of mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and trackers, it seems like a confusing topic. But, as most of us would agree, someday you’re not going to want to work any more. The only way to do that comfortably is if you’ve put money aside.”
