When we started full time RVing in 2004, our only income was a little regularly every month pension check and the cash from our house sale. Budgeted to last two years, it was not a whole lot to live on. We necessitated some further and added income. Here is a list of 10 income generating possibilities. We tried various before we found our solution. This list is not in any peculiar order, except for the last one as it is what we are doing very with great success today. 1. Using former occupation training: Margaret was a storyteller and librarian at the public library. As we traveled she told at schools, day care centers and libraries. This generated a lot of income until the economy died. We have a friend who is a roofer; he gets jobs doing that as he travels. 2. Buy and trade on eBay: As we traveled we went to yard sales, purchased what we thought would trade and then tried to trade those items on eBay. Cost to income symmetry was way off. A distinguished issue was storage of items and packing materials in the RV! 3. Work Camping, Workamping. RV park work: We did this a few times. Mostly this offered a way to stay at a emplacement with no cash outlay for the site. Most campgrounds ask that you stay for a whole season and, after a sure number of hours, they recompense close to minimum wage for further and added hours worked. In checking the math, the income was in truth minimal. We found we didn’t like to stay in one emplacement for the entire season. The bright side was making a heap of marvelous friends around the country. 4. Holiday sales, 4th of July fireworks, Christmas trees, etc.: Usually this demands a good deal of hours worked for a comparatively short amount of time of time and only at specific places. We thought long and hard when it comes to this. Profitability lacked consistency. 5. Selling advertizing in RV directories, grading campgrounds, etc.: There are some jobs available that include travel but limit where laborers may go. Money was consistent but we wanted to be our own bosses. 6. Selling at Malls and flea markets: You will often times be marketing respective items such as oriental rugs, art, or home décor at kiosks. When we started traveling, such minimum wage work was a viable choice. In today’s economy, that is not so. We rejected this out of hand because of the travel limits. 7. Work at local theme and amusement parks: In the winter while staying out of the cold and visiting my elderly parents in Florida, we got seasonal jobs at Walt Disney World five years ago. What a blast! While it didn’t recompense very much, it gave us limitless free amusement and discount perks. In the current economic downturn such employment is unlikely. 8. Camp Hosting: The US Army Corps of Engineers has outstanding campgrounds that offer hosting opportunities. There is normally no income but also no cash outlay for your sites. Find them at http://corpslakes.usace.army.mil/visitors/. States, regions and municipalities likewise have parks; some with hosting opportunities. Travel limits turned us off. 9. Work in high density tourist areas: Jobs as tour guides, restaurants and selling establishments at these locations. Competition with locals and lower density affect employment. 10. Last but not least the Internet: We instruct fellow RVers and others how to work from your RV or home online. It is great fun and a very profitable home based business. Now that we have an effective syndication system, we never have to go chasing leads. There is no pressure on friends or family. Business collaborators come to us. We have found peace, joy and freedom and invite you to formulate your abundance. |
