Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
The New Year is upon us in full force! New sights to see. New jobs to work. New goals to meet. New friends to meet. I hope that 2018 has gotten off to a grand start for you.
If you haven't already started your working-while-RVing journal, now is the time to start. You can go fancy with a leather bound personal planner. Or cheap with an ordinary notebook. Or, use an ap on your phone. It's not about what you use, but that you do it.
I've been doing this since we started RVing, changing the system somewhat as our lifestyle changes. For the past
several years, I've been using a dated, "At-a-Glance 24-Hour Professional Appointments" spiral bound book. It gives me a full page for each day, already broken into segments. I keep track of information for taxes and other business reasons. My planner also serves as a diary, helping me to keep track of when we were where and the highlights of what we did there.
Wherever you are in your work and
travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
List your contact information on your resume. Include at least two ways to reach you, such as your email address and cell phone number. Do not list your work phone number. This seems common sense, but so many people forget to include even a single means of contact.

Earn Your Living with a Blog or Website
A blog or website is yet another way to earn a living without being tied to one location. Your blog can be about most anything. Picking a topic that you enjoy can make it seem more like fun than work. Still, you have to figure out a way to
make money with it. SoloBuiltIt! (SBI!) is an all-in-one program that guides you from picking a profitable website topic, to building the actual site, to keeping up with ever-changing technology. Yes, we use SIB! for our Workers On Wheels website.
