I am a newbie too, but I hate to go out and especially drive int he snow, BUT here is how I get around this. I look for shops that are on the days of Dr appointmentts and other reasons (once a month shopping, etc) and sign up for those shops. I also pick two days a week (these can be different every week or the same days what ever I want) to sign up for as many shops as I feelI can get done properly (did 6 convenience stores in one day, did 4 banks in one day) for examle. So it may be worth it to go to a surrounding area for example my 6 shops took about 4 hours including drive time and I earned $90.00 Not bad pay!
Good luck, keep us up to date on how you are doing!
