Here is a guest post from reader Lynda and her family on how they have made an extra $1,500 – $7,000 (and stayed in shape!) a year gross the last 5-years delivering phone books to homes and businesses 2-4 times a year! Each time they participate in a round of deliveries, it is about 2-4 weeks. In our research, many companies pay between .18-.35 each phone book you deliver!
Do you want a fun, healthy, way to make money and involve the whole family? We discovered that delivering phonebooks is a great way to earn some extra cash for your family.
We have been doing this for the past five years and have had a blast with it because we can work together as a family and running the phonebooks to homes and businesses is a great way to get exercise!
There are several different phonebook companies (just look at the stack you have!) and all you need to do is look on the inside of the phonebook to get the name and number of the company and contact them. They are always looking for responsible people to deliver. You usually get paid per book delivered and can request (if available) the areas you want to deliver.
Happy phonebook delivering!
Lynda
Thanks Lynda and Family for the family money making idea!

All I can say is keep it up. Some professional bloggers post a couple of times a day on their blogs, simply because this persistent addition of new content helps them how to get regular readers.

My family and I delivered phone books the last two years and are looking forward to doing it again this year. The first year we only earned $700, but last year we made $1440. This year we plan on earning $2880. Great way to save for the family vacation.

My sister and I did this as teenagers 🙂 My dad drove us around in a pickup and we each took a side of the street. It took us forever but we got some spending money lol and exercise.
