Workers On Wheels Newsletter #1293 ~ May 3, 2020

Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
If you have extra time these days, use some of it to poke around the Workers On Wheels website. We have hundreds of pages of information there for you. (Close to a thousand, but who’s counting?) It’s all free to you. You don’t need to pay a membership fee. You don’t need to pay a subscription fee. We don’t even beg you to give us
donations (though, if you are so inclined, we won’t refuse them!).
You’ll find classic articles that have stood the test of time. Some basic information just doesn’t change. There are articles about the various kinds of work we’ve done, and how we found those jobs. As working RVers ourselves, we keep having new experiences to share. And, because there are more kinds of work than we could
possibly do in our lifetimes, we keep growing the number of articles written by other working RVers.
Folks who write about RVing come and go. We intend to keep writing and posting.
I usually do website updates several days a week. When you go to the site, you can check the announcements page to see what’s new. The 49 most recently posted or updated pages are listed there—with their publication dates.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

animals. The business is extremely flexible. You do as much or as little as you want. No minimum orders. They'll drop-ship orders to your customers for you. Work the business wherever your RV travels take you -- USA or Canada.

Working RVer Tip
The value of a particular campground site can vary, depending on who is asking.
It could be the monetary price the campground owner would charge for it if he was renting it to a paying customer. That may be the IRS’ value, if the site is deemed to be taxable income.
For some RVers, it could be the amount of money they’d pay for a different site. For example, even though a resort may have high rates, the value of the site to you may not be any more than the cost of the less expensive park down the street.
Conversely, if it is important for you to be in a specific location, the site may be worth more to you than popular formulas indicate. The notion that you can take the campground’s monthly rate and divide it by an hourly wage to see how many hours work the site is worth, is faulty. If you want or need to be in that area, it may
be worth it to you to work extra hours for the site.

Ways RVers Make Money
Here's a sampling of the kinds of work RVers are doing to cut their expenses, earn a living, and pay for their travels. Yes, people are really working these kinds of jobs and earning money from them. While these may not be right for you, they are right for some working RVers.
~ Security personnel
~ Secret shoppers
~ Sell ads for RV publications
~ Social media specialists
~ Ski resort language interpreter

Working RVer Tip
Turn your hobby or improvement projects into moneymakers. Ever notice how someone will post a picture of their project on social media, and immediately friends want to buy one like it? It might be a crocheted toy animal, a bird house, a stained glass window, a painted rock, or most anything else. If you have some spare time to
make things, why not sell a few—or a lot!

Working RVer Tip
Take advice from the successful, rather than from those who have failed. Worse, yet, is taking advice from those who haven’t even tried, but just say something can’t be done. Those who are succeeding can share their stories, letting you know what worked for them. Look for those who have already achieved what you want—they are the
folks to ask for guidance.
