Ways to help Permies and earn income

It seems there are a lot of folks interested in doing some work for Permies.  Being one of Paul's virtual assistants might be a good fit for a very small number of folks, but there are a lot of other opportunities to help Permies while earning income, aside form the VA thing.  I thought I'd write down some things to consider pursuing for those folks.  

These things may be a good fit for you if:
- You love permies, but only want to work part-time
- You want to set your own schedule, and work on the things you're passionate about
- You want to help permies with a few hours a week, and wouldn't mind earning a few bucks along the way
- You want to build passive and/or residual income, in a way that will benefit you more in the long-term than traditional hourly work.

If this is ringing your bells, may I suggest looking at some of the following options:

- Permies.com Affiliate Program - In my humble opinion, Permies.com Affiliate Program is the strongest, most transparent and generous program out there.  After all, Paul is a computer dude and creator as well as a permaculture doofus, soso it makes sense that he has built an incredibly strong infrastructure for this sort of thing.  Now, having worked with Paul for the last year, I can attest that the tools are powerful and the potential is only limited by your own time, energy, and creativity.  Additionally - permaculture, homesteading, and regenerative ag resources are growing and under-served markets, meaning there is relatively little competition in the market at this time.

- If you want to help permies, but aren't interested in the business sorts of things, there are many threads to help you get started.  I like the list Jocelyn put together back in 2014:

post a lot in the forums, and make them media-rich posts (loads of pictures and videos) - more in how permies.com works

simple tasks anyone can do any time

feed the empire

how to share permies with your friends on social media

building links between permies and appropedia

sign up for the daily-ish email, encourage your friends (including social media "friends") and family to sign up, too

watch the tinkering with this site forum for more ideas - click the watch forum button at the bottom of the page

I would add to that list
- just keep hanging around!  There is so much going on at permies all the time.  Jump in somewhere and get involved.  
- Don't forget about SKIP & PEP!
- You might check out some ways that other permies have developed income on and off permies here: Residual Income PEP BB

In short, there are so many ways to help, get involved, and even earn income with Permies.  

What am I missing here?  Anything I should add?  I'd also love to hear from some people who have done some of our affiliate stuff.  A story, some encouragement, or links to threads and other places where it's working . . .

Another thought:
Make sure you have "I wanna help with devious plots on world domination" selected on your Permies profile email preferences. Then when Paul has a project he needs a bit of help with you can be amongst the first to know!
