First of all, this job is not for everyone and I wouldn't recommend you getting involved unless you fully understood the many pros and cons of sign jobs. But if you have the right personality and the right attitude, then making $2000+ a month working full time should be expected. Of course, if you want to make $2000 a month working just part time, then that's very possible. It just takes more skill and some sort of entertainment qualitly that sets you apart from the competition.



Top 5 ways to find a sign jobs

1) Get in contact with a company that provides sign spinners to their clients (in the world of business you would call them the middle-men). Companies like:

Aarrow Advertising

Alluring Advertising

Directional Concepts

All these companies provide the same service to their customers and compensate you from $10-$20/hour. To get in contact with these companies (and many others) just stop and ask a sign spinner in your neighborhood for his/her manager's number.

2) The next best alternative is to look for job openings in local or online classified ads. I would recommend using Craigslist and Myspace Jobs. Both offer a decent amount of search results as long as you use the keywords sign spinner,human directional, living sign, sign holder, etc.

3) When you have more experience, try offering demos to compete for a current or new position. I recommend competing for a current position since the sign is already provided and it's already an integral portion of their marketing strategy. Also, you don't have to deal with the trouble of convincing them that marketing with sign spinners could possibly help brand thier business and bring in traffic.

4) Another great way is to post an online resume of yourself with your picture, qualifications, and availability. Also make sure you include a video of yourself preforming on the corner (not your backyard). I recommend using Youtube for this since it's so popular and it doesn't have to be long. It just has to give them a pretty good idea of what to expect and how much they should pay you per hour. After doing this, you can send your resume to any potential employer and you could even post your own ads linking to your resume using the services section of Craigslist.

5) The fifth and final way is something that happens all by itself if you're a good sign spinner/holder. Since you get such huge exposure to traffic and people see you on a daily basis, some will actually stop by and offer you a different sign job. In some cases, they will offer you an entirly different position. But if you do decide to leave, then make sure you know what you're leaving behind and be sure to give a notice to your current employer. It helps build good references and you never know when those might come in handy.

Thanks for reading! :) I hope you find that job you've been looking for!

I'm still not sure what a sign job is. Maybe you could add more info for those of us who have never heard of this. It does sound quite intriquing though. I always love to hear about new ways to make money.
