How to Work from Your RV

So you’ve decided to sell it all and hit the road? Good for you!! But, you’ve realized that you still need to work while you travel in your RV. How to work while traveling in an RV is probably one of the most-often asked questions that I see on the Facebook pages and in forums about full-time RV living – “What do you do to make money on the road from my RV?” And similarly – “Where do you find jobs you can do while traveling in your RV?”

Jobs for RVers

Well, there are a couple of easy answers to this question, such as FlexJobs – a pay site that vets all job listings in order to make sure that none of them are scams and guarantees that all jobs are legitimate (worth the price of admission!), or WAHM – Work At Home Mom – a free site that has work-at-home job boards that you can browse.  Great for RVers!  Another great choice is LinkUp – they only search company’s websites for jobs, so this is a great place to search to avoid scams. Use the keyword “telecommute” in your search. But what about if you’re looking for something a little different? Off the beaten path?

Jobs You Can Do from Your RV

If you have a specific skill, such as graphic arts or photography, you can put yourself out there on freelance sites, such as Fiverr, or Upwork. On these sites, you sign up as a seller and sell your tasks to buyers looking for your specific talent. The site keeps a small portion of your sale and you keep the rest. There are many people that make a full-time living off of these sites!

Just remember these safety rules:

*NEVER pay to land a job! They shouldn’t ask you for money for any reason! This is surely a sign of a scam company.
*Check out the company that you are applying to. A quick Google search of the company’s name will often uncover whether or not others have been scammed by this company.
*Beware of too-good-to-be-true claims of making a lot of money and/or easy work.
*Beware of companies that are vague about the job description.
*Never give out your credit card number or personal information until you are 100% certain the job is legit!

BE SAFE!! IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS!

As you can see, there are many many places to look to find location independent work while you’re traveling in your RV.
