Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
Merry Christmas! Bob and I wish you the merriest of holidays.
There is a section of articles on the Workers On Wheels website that we call the “Working RV Basics.” They answer some of the “How do we get started?” and “How do we keep going?” questions. There are also articles there that don’t seem to fit elsewhere on the Workers On Wheels website. Whether you are new to RVing or have been full-time for decades, take some time to browse through them.
Bob sends a sincere and heartfelt “Thank you!” to everyone who wished him a happy birthday. (It was yesterday, December 22.) He’s not old enough for social security, yet, but he’s getting closer!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

JR Watkins - A Location Independent Business for RVers
Sell J. R. Watkins natural products. Bob and I have been Independent Consultants with Watkins since 2005. People love the pure seasonings, old-time remedies, natural skin care, and natural cleaning products. It's an old Minnesota company, with products still made in the USA. They are not tested on 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
Landscape contractors are a good source of spring jobs. They are preparing ground for new sod and laying the sod; removing protective winter mulch and replacing it with a decorative variety; and planting trees and shrubbery. Although they may need backhoe and tractor operators, they also need people to run a hand shovel and rake.

Planting Trees: Riding the Tree Planter and Fishing
Bob shares about another one of his jobs, “I planted trees; hundreds of thousands of trees. Teeny-tiny, little pine trees skinnier than a pencil. This seasonal work was part of a government tree-planting project. It last about six weeks, just right for me as a fulltime RVer.”

Selling Jewelry Supports Many RVers
A Workers On Wheels reader writes, asking about selling jewelry at flea markets and farmers markets. She writes, "It is jewelry that we make ourselves. We hope to finance our trip with these jewelry sales. Has anyone else done this?"

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.

Supplemental Income: A Second (or Third) Source of Income Makes Life Easier
A supplemental income -- a second source of money -- takes the pressure off when your regular way of earning a living falters. Multiple streams of income make it easier for working RVers. In this article, Bob shares about work he did when we were set up at a flea market and sales were on the slow side.

Working RVer Tip
If you travel with a partner, you may find your best financial deal is for you to split up when it comes to working. One of you could work at the campground where you are living, in exchange for your RV site, utilities, and use of facilities. The other could work away from the campground. Together, you would then have double benefits – fewer living expenses and a paycheck.
