Depends on what they pay you per paper - back in 1970's - papers cost 15 cents and I got 3-4 cents per paper to deliver them (plus tips)

if papers sell for 75 cents (ones around me do) and you get 25% of that money, then 150 papers a day - 6 days a week - 4 weeks a month (rough averages) - would be about $675 every 4 weeks

are you driving? biking? walking?

150-250 is going to take several hours a day no matter which way you go unless they are all in one highrise apt building or something - I hope you don;t have to be anywhere else by a specific time each morning - the papers only arrive so early and you may be working past 7-8am

and if driving all those stops and starts, local driving is going to use a lot of gas and good sized chunk of that money - unless they pay you extra fro that

Hmm, well newspapers, depending on what kind of route and what type of paper ranges differently. Some, like the everyday paper that is given to neighborhoods usually pay at least 8 cents a paper. Ones where you have to find a specific house in a neighborhood would probably be 16 to 20 cents per paper. So yeah, basically it would probably come up to a range of $600 or more.
