Thanks
lol I wish...I would do it for over 2 hours a day if I could but it all depends on them. They could send you 1 survey a week or 3 surveys a day. You don't have to do them, but it all depends on how many they decide to send you.
I have filled out every survey offered for the past 10 months & earned a Grand Total of $17.00. Some of the surveys are interesting though but some are too personal.
Be very careful about who you sign up with to "work online" with your computer. When I retired thought it might be a good idea, was seeing all these ads. BUT, after signing up with about 20 of them, and working at least five hours a day, made very little or about half minimum wage. Basically I considered them scams, that made more money for those who hired you, than you ever would.
When I was working, my time was valuable. When I retired, it suddenly became worth ten times what it had been, because we have relatively, few years left to enjoy life. So Unless I COULD find one that payed much more than when I was working, no way Id work. I just live on Social Security, and make it do. As it only cost me less than $900 a year for campgrounds, SS goes a lot further than in a stick or brick house.
If you have a lot of knowledge about computers, you might check into BEST stores, Geek Squad. I know they have a disc that searches the computer and diagnosis the problems, then programs which fix many of them. Most seem to be Registry problems. Uniblue, is a good one which fixes many problems. Like I use their free program, and adaware, on my system. If you put these on a USB drive, along with other software, you might put up a card on the Bulletin Board in campgrounds. Then charge a fee to fix computers or get them running FASTER. With Best, even if you travel, if you got a job with them on the Geek Squad, and worked locally. Then told them you were going on a trip, checked with local stores wherever you were, could pick up some extra money.
Then, Ive met some who give classes to people in the park about how to use their computers for many things, and WiFi. They charge $10 per person, per class, for two hours. If you get five, six, or more, once a week, it could help. In big campgrounds Ive seen ten or more in the classes.

LOL....Yea I know, sometimes they send you 5 per week and other times, you can go 2 weeks without one. I guess it depends on if the company who is seeking information is interested in your opinion.
There are lots of people, myself included, who telecommute. It's a pretty simple transition from there to telecommuting from anywhere in an RV. I've been working from home for seven years now doing construction estimating. For the first six years I worked for a company. I quit at the end of last year and started freelancing. The company I worked for was in AZ, and for the first four years I telecommuted from WA.
As long as I have a fairly fast internet connection, I'm set. I just put my laptop and a second monitor in the RV and I can make more than I'll need.
It's nice & your lucky to have been in a field that lends itself to telecommuting. I'm a former radiology tech, a great proffession for 38yrs., but not exactly something you can e-mail. DH is a retired firefighter, also a career that requires you on-sight. I originally posted this question to see if or how people may have taken their skills & training & somehow found a way to make cash thru the internet. Most post's have talked about surveys, but they want WAY too much personal info. for my comfort.
I do medical transcription from my home but it could be done 'on the road' if you proper equipment. There are lots of companies that advertise on-line for transcriptionists. Since you know x-rays, you may look into this.

after years of searching for legit ways to make money with the computer and travel this is what I've found. (I currently do all of these for money)
ChaCha.com -You can be a ChaCha search guide people text in questions you look them up and a search engine and send the answer to them via your computer. ChaCha pays you 20 cents per question and you can pay yourself monthly to your bank account or get the ChaCha debit card and pay yourself when you want. You can apply at their website there is a search knowledge and typing test you take online (30wpm requirement) I can average about 40 dollars a day working for them.
Pinecone research- is a survey site that pays members 3 dollars per survey they will mail you small 3.00 paper checks for each survey or deposit the 3 dollars per survey into your paypal account. and they send you cool products to try.
Inboxdollars.com or sendearnings.com- send you paid emails where you view ads also if you sign up for junk email basically they pay you for that too (I suggest signing up for a separate email if you do this) I make about 40 bucks every 3 months from them
mysurvey.com- you can make about 20 bucks a year from doing surveys or save your survey points and cash them in on the gifts they have.
