[nabs-l] Blind people and the sharing economy

Bying and selling web domains is something I've heard of.  Betting on
Fantasy sports. Writing, consultation about things you are expert on; ifyou
aren't an expert on soemthing, get to be one.

Subject: [nabs-l] Blind people and the sharing economy

Hi everyone,

How do you think blind and low vision folks can make some income and
participate in the sharing economy?

A recent survey shows that 30% of Americans work as freelancers or do gigs
rather than traditional jobs. 400000 people now drive for Uber.
If you have a spare room or basement you can rent it out through AirBnB or
list it on Craigslist. And of course the blind community was a pioneer in
sharing economy with BookShare and recently Be My Eyes.

So, what are your ideas both to participate in the sharing economy as a
seller or provider, and ideas for new sharing platforms and apps for the
blind community?

Best,
Phil
