Want to be paid fairly – and paid more?

In the summer of 2007, Mariah Burton Nelson surveyed 5000+ members of the American Association for Physical Activity and Recreation (AAPAR), and found that a whopping 77 percent would like to earn more money "on the sidelines" by sharing their expertise with community members.

As a result, Mariah wrote Making Money on the Sidelines: A Game Plan for Getting Started: an essential guide for anyone who wants to be paid fairly - and paid more.

• Earn money from camps, clinics, coaching, consulting, teaching, research, writing, and more.
• Learn about contracts, invoices, prices, promotion, profit.
• Read case studies of physical activity educators (teachers, coaches, camp directors) who are successfully making money on the sidelines.
• Acquire the tools and techniques to transform your career from frustrated and fatigued to satisfied and successful.
• Use this step-by-step Game Plan for Sidelines Success to generate the revenue you desire and deserve!
