Spring Break Incoming
SPRING BREAK TIME!!!!
Students abound are either currently engaged in Spring Break or making preparations for it during the next several weeks. Fun in the sun, shade or wherever is likely at the top of everyone's list during this time. Some students during this time take the opportunity to work close to home while enjoying their free time at local attractions.

Can you really afford to take a break of this kind from these things? I don't see why not but there are those that are exceptional multi-taskers and will find ways to have their frozen yogurt and eat it too.
Take to your blog or vlog and show everyone what you're doing. Hit the jackpot at local shop? Share your finds and discounts with others along with tips on how they can do the same in their neck of the woods.
Remember those photography bits that were mentioned then elaborated on in the Micro Jobs Photography post? You can do the same this time around.

Once you've completed creating whichever, you can sell the finished products once you return home so you'll have once less thing to worry about.
Some localities you can explore include but aren't limited to are:

Here's a tune to help get you into the vacay mood. Enjoy!

Where to Sell Your Wares
This wasn't covered or at least not directly as no two venues are exactly alike. A big no duh statement for sure but that doesn't change things as these venues keep changing things up to the point of throwing curve balls into left field. In general, the best place to start selling your items is through a local venue much like a stand or booth of sorts.Some localities you can explore include but aren't limited to are:
- Farmer's Market
- Flea Market
- Fair Grounds
- Carnival or Seasonal Festival
- Neighborhood Block Party Event
In regards to online you can look into:
- Etsy
- Shopify
- Amazon (maybe)
- Personal Store through SquareUp
- Personal Shop through SquareSpace
Where To?
Its been an excruciating academic session and you're in dire need of some rest and relaxation. Keep the above in mind while out and about as you'll never know when creative inspiration will hit you like an ice cold water balloon. Stay hydrated, keep the SPF close and the snacks closer.Here's a tune to help get you into the vacay mood. Enjoy!
