Just started this new venture a couple of weeks ago and have already completed five shops for four different companies. I am really enjoying it and learning as fast as I can. This board seems like a great resource and I am looking forward to spending time here doing more research. I am trying to do a wide variety of shops to see which I prefer and also see which ones are the most profitable. It seems that there are two distinct types of shops: Fee shops to earn money for my time and reimbursement shops to save money on entertainment, dining, groceries, etc.
One of the challenges I can see already is scheduling and keeping up with all of my shops. Any tips on this?
I have signed up with about eight companies, but I know there are probably a few hundred. I signed up for Jobslinger, as well, because it seems to bring in jobs from multiple sources.
I am a real estate agent after a long career as a banker, so I am basically self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I am enjoying this so much I have to remind myself to stay focused on my main source of income in real estate. Looking forward to interacting with the folks here and learning more.
