Ever wonder how much a sign spinner makes? You’ve no doubt seen them; young, athletic people with signs performing acrobatic maneuvers to direct attention to residential developments, etc… This type of advertising has really caught on and is being used nationwide. There are countless videos on YouTube highlighting these workers skills. The best sign spinners compete against each other in an annual competition that takes place in San Diego, California. Starting pay is around $10 per hour with no benefits. Sign spinners move up in small increments of pay as they learn new tricks though an instructor can earn considerably more. It’s a fun job according to the people I spoke with and contrary to what you might think the workers themselves feel there is a real future in it. Sign spinners endure ridicule from passers by; it’s seasonal work, very physical, involves a certain amount of cuts and, they have no union representation.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
I'm a Sign Spinner. I work mostly part time on the weekends but I can get more consistent work during the summer. It's an easy job really. I usually work around 4 hours per gig and most Sign Spinners I know only use Coroplast Signs which seems to be an industry standard. If you decide to try it, make sure you have an MP3 player with you, time flies then.
