Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Happy Easter!
When you head out to be a working RVer, you have choices. You can find jobs that use
the skills and experience you've gained so far in life. Or, you can try something new.
Here's some common advice:
- Find a way to get paid for doing what you love.
- Turn your hobby into a profitable business.
- Use the skills from your previous career to find work on the road.
All three of those are solid pieces of advice for RVers.
However, working while RVing also provides great opportunities to try new things. You can test the waters, without making a long-term commitment. You can grab a short-term job, one that you aren't sure about, knowing it won't last forever. You can learn new things. And, you can find out that you really enjoy doing things that you'd never before considered doing.
Don't be afraid to try something new!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

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.

Job Titles: Don't Assume They Describe the Position You Envision
Job titles may or may not tell you about the actual job duties. Your idea of what a "manager," "camp host," or "caretaker," is may not be the same as the person's who placed the Help Wanted ad.

Writing RV
Adventure Books
In the pioneer days of America, iron men and stout hearted women loaded their belongings into a Conestoga wagon, hitched up a team of oxen, mules or horses, and headed out. These early road rogues crossed the plains
heading for the territory of their dreams, the "promised land."

Working RVer Tip
You can sometimes make your job easier if you take your own tools to the job with you. And, having the tools for the job can make the difference in whether or not you are hired for the job.
