6 Tips for making money from the road

Those who own an RV or are interested in the RV lifestyle know you can save money traveling and living in an RV. But did you know there are many ways you can make money while on the road as well? With more of us working from home these days and looking for the opportunity to earn an income while traveling on the road we wanted to give some tips. Here are a few ideas for ways to make money on the road.

• Affiliate marketing. Each time someone buys a product using your recommendation link you get a small percentage of the profit. It doesn’t cost the person any extra money or you so it’s a winning situation for all involved. Amazon is one of the easiest ways to do this. You can set up an amazon link for product recommendations and post it on your blog or social media.
• Use Fiverr. Fiverr is an online marketplace where people can sell their skills for as little as $5. So if you’re an illustrator, excel pro, designer, animator etc. you can offer skills others don’t have. Create an account and then market your services on the platform. The more projects you accept and complete the more work will be sent your way.
• Complete tasks on click worker. Click worker offers you cash in exchange for doing small fractions of larger tasks like taking surveys online. Doing work like this can help diversify your income on the road.
• Start a business on Etsy. Etsy is a marketplace similar to Amazon except for handmade items. You can sell jewelry, paintings, prints, clothing, vintage items. The possibilities are endless.
• Write and publish a book on Kindle. If you especially love to write or a passionate about a specific topic you could write an ebook and self-publish it on Kindle. It could be a memoir, guide, how to or even a fictional story. Ebooks take out the guesswork of needing money for publishing, printing, stocking, mailing, etc. You can just market it on social media.
• Workamping. Workamping is a very physical way to make money while being a full time RVer. Workamping is when RV parks looking for a couple to hire to work the campgrounds. Tasks involve working in the office, helping guests find their campsite, cleaning bathrooms and other areas. If you enjoy meeting new people and don’t mind physical labor this is a great way to make money on your travels. https://workamper.com/
