There are many ways to make money while on the road. I'm not talking about begging or busking, but real work and real skills.
First of all, let's redefine jobs or working. Instead of a traditional 40 hour job that you work for someone else, let's look at what skills you have that someone else will pay you to do.
I don't have any marketable skills you say...bull is what i say.
A job is anything someone will pay you to do. Let's confine all discussions to legal skills and honest labor. Let's also stay or of questionable areas. No selling paraphernalia "for tobacco use only."
People are busy nowadays. Some of the odd jobs they will pay you to do are: cook, clean, do laundry, yard work, walk the dogs, watch the children, water the garden, weed the garden, clean out a garage or storage shed.
In the winter, shoveling snow and sidewalks can be very lucrative.
In New Mexico, code enforcement issues like weeds or painting the house number on the curb is another good way to earn money.
If you are willing to work, you can often find ways to make money legally.
I am able to accept payment from debitcards and credit cards using the PayPal Here app and the PayPal card reader. The app is free, the card reader is also free.
PayPal charges a small fee on each transaction. It protects both the buyer and the seller. The money is available instantly in my PayPal account. I have the PayPal debit card so i can instantly use the money at any store or withdraw cash from my account.
I can advertise free on Craigslist, the OfferUp app, or the Letgo app.
It is important to have more than one way to make money.
Today i picked up a writing gig, editing and fixing up a resume. Every few dollars adds up.
See ya down the road,
Lou
