With some groundwork, you can make money by turning your car into an ad.
Turning your car into a mobile billboard could really pay off for you -- in cash. Companies want to wrap your vehicle with their graphics and pay up to $500 a month. But, there are certain requirements -- and some research needs to be done to make sure you are not the one taken for a ride.
Instructions
1. Sign up with an advertiser -- or more than one. In addition to the companies that handle multiple clients, stick closer to home. If you see a wrapped car on the road or parked, get the driver's attention and ask him how he got involved with the company. Follow his suggestions. After you have completed all the proper groundwork, select the advertiser that best suits your situation. Contact the advertiser with any questions you have before signing any contract.
2. Calculate your driving habits. Add up the number of miles you drive during a month to see if you are within the number of miles a potential advertiser will require for you to get paid. Also, evaluate whether you able to park the vehicle where it is regularly seen when you are not driving it. This is another requirement of most advertisers.
3. Evaluate your automobile. Call a company that provides car wrap graphics to see what its criteria for wrapping may be. Check your vehicle to make sure the graphics can be applied to your car. Also, give your car the necessary tuneup or maintenance required to drive the required number of miles per month. Evaluate your car's fuel economy to determine whether the gas purchases necessary to drive the required number of miles per month eats up the income your potential advertiser is promising.
4. Get your car wrapped. Most legitimate companies will pay for the wrap or at the least give you a major allowance toward the cost. While there are a variety of companies that make the wraps, the company you choose may have a wrap company in mind.
5. Drive and earn. Once you are approved and your car is wrapped, all that is left to do is prove to the advertiser that you have reached all the the agreed upon requirements and performance benchmarks to receive payment. Legitimate companies may include a GPS to verify you are holding up your end of the bargain.
