Try this exercise to come up with money-making ideas. Take a topic that interests you. See how many different kinds of jobs or income producing activities you can find related to it. One of them is likely to be something that is practical for you to do.

This exercise is also a good way to find supplemental forms of income, two or more things that complement each other. Some, you can do simultaneously. Others, you might do consecutively, perhaps one during the summer and the other during the winter.

An example is fishing.

• Teach fly fishing.
  
• Make fishing videos.
• Work professional fishing tournaments.
• Work in a bait and tackle shop.
• Write and sell fishing articles to magazines.
  
  
• Work at a retailer, such as Cabella's, in the fishing department.
• Tie and sell flies.
• Teach reel repair.
• Teach rod building.
  
• Work as a deckhand on a fishing charter.
  
  
• Work as an interpreter on a boat tour.
• Teach outboard engine repair.
• Be a boat captain.
• Work for a commercial fisherman.
  
• Be a river fishing guide.
  
  
• Be a deep water fishing guide.
  
• Clean fish.
• Work in a seafood restaurant.
• Work in a shop that sells fish and seafood.
• Sew fishing vests.
  
  
• Assemble emergency kits to have on boats.
• Do boat repair.
• Mold and sell (wholesale or retail) lead weights.
• Write and sell cookbooks with fish recipes.
• Work as a taxidermist or assist one.
  
  
• Making fish related art to sell.
• Paint pictures of fish.
  
• Do fish photography.
• Work at a fishing camp.

Sure, some of these are a stretch. Some, you need special training and experience to do. But, by brainstorming a list, you get ideas. You start thinking about options. I'm guessing that right now, you are thinking about jobs related to fishing that I don't have on the list. I hope so -- that means you have the knack for how to do it on a topic that interests you.

Ask plenty of questions. During the pre-hiring and after you hired. This is one of the most important campground job tips. So, I'll repeat. Ask questions.
