The Ad Hoc Group, the On-the-Road RV Business of Working RVer Michele Boyer
My name is Michele and my business is the Ad Hoc Group. I hope what I’m going to tell you rekindles your faith in your ability to earn all the money you need. I began working from home in the 1970's.
We moved to a small community. With both my husband and me in the same career, respiratory therapy, he was offered the only opening and I was left to find creative ways to supplement our income. This was a welcome problem for me, though, as our first child was born soon after that move, and it was a blessing that I was able to stay home and take care of her. My first business was a welcoming service, but over the years we’ve refilled toner cartridges, published ad flyers, delivered durable medical equipment, certified people for CPR and first aid, done extensive freelance writing and videos, stock photography–whatever was legal, easy and inexpensive to setup. As the millennium approached we realized we weren’t going to get to travel until we retired, which seemed an eternity away. So, we quit our jobs, took a course in commercial trucking and headed out to drive the big rigs. But, that was short lived. We loved the driving and travel, but, honestly, the real work of commercial trucking was way beyond our endurance level. RVing was our ideal way to travel. It had all the advantages of trucking without the challenges–or the income. During a short return to our hospital careers we revised our plan, bought an Airstream, and started making the transition, again. We began developing our website promoting affiliate and business startups. I took AWAI’s copywriting, travel writing and resume preparation courses. Those skills and our years of freelancing experience let us embark on full-time RVing with sources of income that were portable, flexible and sufficient to follow our dream. Currently I’m writing RVing articles for About.com and legal and medical web pages and blogs. He does the research and keeps my facts straight. When we need extra income, work camping is always an option, as are other writing jobs. With so many opportunities to freelance, we usually find something even if only for a few weeks.
What you can’t find at Workers On Wheels you might find at our Ad Hoc Group’s Home Based Business resource. We figured you’d want what we wanted. Easy income opportunities: ~ based on skills we either had or could easily learn; ~ that didn’t cost a lot to get into;~ that were little risk if they didn’t work out; ~ that could be done from home or on the road;~ that had no long-term commitments or debt obligations Either you can earn revenue from one of these businesses or you can’t, but you won’t lose your shirt finding out. You know how hard it is to make ends meet these days? How hard it is to even find a job let alone one that pays the bills? How job requirements demand higher degrees but pay entry-level wages? Ad Hoc Group has set out to help you overcome employer-limited earning power by providing the resources and tools you need to earn the income you deserve.

All are programs I have either used myself or are written by well-known, reputable authorities in their fields, who give more value than expected. Most of our programs cost between $49 and $500. Most have minimal startup costs, depending upon what you already own, such as a computer. I started my Ad Flyer for $175 with enough advertisers to pay that full cost and more. This business has potential to earn several thousand per month–a nice full-time income. I paid less than $100 for the Pro Resume Writing Program, but earned $275 from my first resume client just a few days after purchasing the program. Enough said… Take a look at this list of work from home resources (on my Ad Hoc Group website) by some of the country’s top copywriters, marketers, and mavens in their fields. ----- This working RVer profile was written by full-time RVer Michele Boyer.
