Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Many of the articles we write for Workers On Wheels come from our personal experience. Our first gig as working RVers was in 1991. We went full-time RVing in early 1992, and have been working RVers ever since. We’ve had time to do quite a few money-making activities.
Still, there’s no way we could possibly do everything. There are just too many ways to earn money on the road to make that humanly possible. So, we rely on other working RVers to share with us—and consequently with you—their experiences.
This week’s feature article is one of those stories. It’s a good one. It’s specifically about selling on eBay. However, if you have an interest in selling on Poshmark, Bonanza, Etsy, Amazon, or any of the other online sales sites, you’ll find his tips very helpful.
Thank you for all the birthday greetings you’ve sent this weekend. First it was Bob’s birthday in mid-December. Then Christmas and New Year’s Day. And, now, my birthday on the 10th. Through all of these special days, our email and Facebook accounts have been filled with your well wishes. Many of them included thank yous and
notes of your appreciation for the effort we put into Workers On Wheels. Well, Bob and I want you to know that we are grateful for your loyal support and friendship. Thank YOU for being part of our Workers On Wheels family.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,

Working RVer Tip
Focus on the job you want to get. It may seem that all that positive thinking and the “Law of Attraction” are psycho-gobbledygook. But, it turns out there is real science behind it. The human brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) is a bundle of nerves that helps sort and organize the mass amounts of information we receive.
What you think about, talk about, and visualize become what the RAS considers important. Your RAS seeks out what you are focusing on, to help you find it.

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.

Working RVer Tip
Learn what you can from your current job. Learning can make a boring job more interesting. It can make a miserable job more tolerable. Learning can make a ho-hum job fun. You may find that what you learn from a particular job is more valuable than the paycheck or RV site it provides. And, what you learn on the job you have today
can go a long way in helping you get your next position
