The Infamous Paper Route

Throwing a paper on a porch while riding your bike or walking and getting paid for it WHAT AN EASY JOB! You also get exercise while delivering newspapers too. If you need a job being a paperboy is an easy way to earn money. Call up your local newspaper company and ask to get on the waiting list for a route close to your house. Sometimes you get lucky and they give you the job right then and there if they need someone for your area. Try and get a route with a lot of papers because the more papers you deliver the more money you bring in. Some paper boys/girls make $100 to $200 bucks every 2 weeks just by delivering newspapers. I delivered newspapers before I got a real job. I did it for six year and made about $60 to $70 dollars every 2 weeks. Another benefit of being a paper carrier is that around Christmas your customers give you large tips as a gift in addition to your regular paycheck!! Now that sounds like a deal! A good tip is too go to the dollar store and buy a bunch of Christmas cards real cheap give everyone of your customers one maybe a week or two before Christmas. This will show that you are a nice and caring person and they will be more likely to give you a nice time. I had around 50 customers and every Christmas I would collect over 300 dollars in tips!! That is the honest truth. So it pays off to be a good paper carrier, be nice to your customers, if they ask you to place their paper in a certain spot do it for them, deliver on time, just be an all round good person and you will be rewarded in the end.
