Thousands of people around the world have discovered the luxury of driving around in new cars that they neither bought nor have to maintain. This is because they are paid to drive the car for advertising. Large corporations want to get their name on a moving billboard, so to speak, and cars serve that purpose. Individuals can make up to $3,400 a month in such a program.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • phone
  • car
  1. Step 1

    The first thing to do if you would like to drive a new car or your own for advertising purposes is to register with an online service that gives you access to these companies (see Resources). There is a one-time fee ranging from $15 to $29.

  2. Step 2

    If you'd rather avoid joining a service and want to find these businesses yourself, you can search keywords in the Yellow Pages such as "paid to drive," "paid car advertising," and "advertising on your car." Contact the businesses you find to see what requirements must be met. Register with these businesses to get started.

  3. Step 3

    If you are good at sales, have a new vehicle and want to get some extra cash, you could always contact businesses in your community directly. Offer to drive your car with their advertising on the side or back of the car. Some of these businesses may not do this yet, but if you offer to help them get started, they might see the usefulness in having you drive for paid advertising. You may even find that they would rather let you use one of their new cars instead.

  4. Step 4

    Consider additional ways to get paid by these companies. Once you've established yourself with a company that pays you to drive their car for advertising purposes, next consider other ways they might pay you to advertise their products and services. Make yourself a living billboard. Wear their products, such as T-shirts, hats, shoes, jerseys and jackets. If you own a business, you might suggest putting up posters or other large advertisements to draw new clients to them. Be creative and devise a plan of ideas to present to them. Before you know it, you might even have your home and business mortgage and lease paid by these corporations you are advertising.

on 11/13/2009 Bottom line, you should NEVER have to pay to sign up to be considered for these programs.

A company called My Car Makes Cash has worked for me and 2 of my friends. They’re free and they’re trustworthy. Here’s the link for those of you interested. They contacted me within a week of signing up.
