Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Well, this about wraps up 2018. We hope that it has been a good year for you.
The end of the year means it’s time to think about taxes. I’m not a tax expert. However, we do have articles on the Workers On Wheels website by someone who is a tax expert: Martin M. Shenkman, CPA, MBA, JD.
Marty’s not only a tax accountant and attorney, he’s also an RVer. He’s an RVer who takes his work on the road. He presents educational seminars. He is also an avid fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and The Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Research. He and his wife, Patti, travel in an Airstream trailer, with their dog, Elvis.
~ You can read his articles on WOW.
Happy New Year!
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.

Working at an Alaskan RV Resort: For Many Campers, a Once In a Lifetime Job
I worked at an Alaskan RV resort. It was a great experience. I experienced things I could have never seen in the continental United States. The campground was located on one of Alaska’s many protected bays. We saw whales, sea lions, moose, ducks, sea otters, and eagles nearly every day. Occasionally, we would also see bears. The long hours of daylight can turn into long hours of work and play, and little
sleep.

Working RVer Tip
Household skills are very marketable. If you have the skills to run a home or estate, list them on your job application. Cooking, cleaning, bookkeeping, secretarial, and organizational skills are relevant for many caretaker positions.
