Cover your Area for Thunder Roads and make money doing what you love!
Reserve your spot in upcoming Road Rep and TRO Photography Seminars. Thunder Roads Ohio is looking to add more local Reps and Photographers all across Ohio over the next few months. This is a great opportunity for anyone that loves to ride and is active in the local riding community. You’ll have a chance to help support, promote and cover local riding events – and maybe even make some $$$ along the way! It’s a pretty good deal and chances are that you’re already doing 80% of what’s needed to be a Rep or Staff Photographer. As a TRO Road Rep, you’ll cover and distribute magazines to local businesses and events that riders support. As folks identify you as “their Thunder Roads guy or gal” – they will turn to you for help in getting their message out. You’ll be their means of reaching THOUSANDS of riders all across the Midwest and even nationally. With the support of the office, you’ll be able to help make local events a success and bring riders to businesses in your area. This isn’t a high-pressure sales job, but sure – you could make some good money if that’s what you’re looking for. As in most cases, you’ll get more out – the more effort you put in. If you’re just looking to have some fun and maybe make some extra cash – sure, that works. If you’re looking for some steady extra income or maybe even a new job with a VERY flexible work schedule – that can work as well. A lot of the leg-work can even be done from home. You can even become a REP for ReasonsToRide.com and help cover other parts of the country – while working “remotely” at home or on the road. As a TRO Photographer, you can help cover and promote local events – from rides and rallies to local bike nights and dealer events. You don’t really need fancy equipment, but sure a nice camera helps. However, the sad truth for many of us that have spent way too much on cameras over the years, is that our phones now have much more advanced cameras on them than what professionals used even just a few years ago. You take the pictures and then send them to us for publication in the magazine or online. In return you get designated as a Staff Photographer, score some cool gear, and get premier access to a lot of exciting events. You can even make some money or at least get expenses covered in most cases – attending events that you’d already be at, taking pictures that might already be taking. Now though, you’re sharing your pictures and getting recognized for your work – and maybe scoring some cash along the way! It’s a pretty good deal. If you’re interested in being either a TRO Road Rep or Staff Photographer, please send us an email as soon as possible – so we can let you know about the upcoming training seminars. These are informal get-togethers, where we explain things and share some insight into how it all works. You don’t have to have any sales or real photography experience – just a love of riding and the folks we meet while out on the road. You have to be reliable, somewhat responsible and professional – but we are all committed to having fun while doing this. It’s why we do it. Interested?
