Tips to Make Money While Traveling on the Road
By Cecilia Sturm
If you are like millions of Americans, most of us have dreams of life on the road, or just long term travel. Living a life of travel can only be described as a slower more relaxed pace, with much more time to fulfill your wanderlust with amazing experiences.

Being an RVer gives you more of an opportunity to have and create quality time with your family or significant other if you are retirees and empty nesters.

Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to live with the mindset of “time to go back to work?" The beautiful thing about our world today compared to even 10 years ago is all the advances in technology. Our lives have become so digital and work can be done pretty much anywhere, so why wait until retirement age or feel that you missed out on the time when you were younger, fresh out of school and had some time to waste…

RV living or extended travel is usually thought of as something we can only do at certain windows in our life. Not that there is anything wrong with that approach, but I know so many are not able quit working or retire early. We still have responsibilities and bills to pay and the truth is, unless you are loaded, most have not been able to save up enough to travel without supplemental income.

But that doesn't mean we can't go on the road and earn money. We simply need to find work that fits into a life of travel.

Below are some examples to think about:

Artists & Jewelers, Musicians, Journalism, Photographers, Traveling Sales & Demonstrators, Tour Guides, Amusement Park Staff, Providing a Service (cleaning, organizing, handyman, etc.), Temp Workers, Secret Shoppers, Consultants & Designers, Selling Mary Key, Pampered Chef, Avon, Bauble Bar etc.

Here are some resources to get you started:
  • MobileRVing
  • Work for RVers and Campers
  • Cool Works
  • USA Jobs
  • Camper Force
But like I said, with the advances in technology, you could always take the path of a Digital Nomad.These are a few digital jobs you can handle while full-time RVing:

Programmers/ Graphic Designers

Bloggers & Content Creators

Videography on YouTube or freelance work

Bargain Hunting & Re-Selling Online

IT/Web Design

Here are a few resources to choose from to earn money while traveling on the road:
  • We Work Remotely
  • Craigslist
  • Elance
  • Dice
  • Flex Jobs
