Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter Editor
The first issue of the Workers On Wheels Newsletter went out in February, 1994. Bob and I have been publishing the newsletter, continuously, the entire 25 years. WOW has grown considerably since then.
It started as an 8-page, printed-on-paper, newsletter that we mailed out every other month. We put each issue together on the dinette table of our travel trailer. They were written, printed, and mailed from all over the USA, wherever our RV work and travels took us.
As our subscriber base grew, the newsletter morphed into a 32-page magazine. We joined a publishing co-op. We could send in the original copy and they would print and bind the magazine. They also took care of the addressing, stamping, and mailing it.
We eventually changed over to what you see now. The Workers On Wheels website has hundreds of pages. We regularly update it several times a week. And, of course, this emailed newsletter, which we send out weekly.
We plan to keep on keeping on. Thank you for your continued support!
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
Keep a work log. Note the days you work. Write down the time you start and the time your workday ends. Make notes about what you did throughout the day. If you attended meetings, note those. Document anything unusual or out of the ordinary. Record any work related expense. Jot down the highlight of each day. Be sure to put the date on each entry.

Your Campground Job Resume: Who You Are and What You Can Do
Your campground job resume should show the park owner who you are, as well as what you can do. When writing a resume for most campground jobs and many other seasonal jobs, think personable rather than professional. Let your personality show. That's not to say that your resume should be silly or garish -- unless of course, you are silly and garish on the job.

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.
