Your Car Could Pay For Its Own Petrol, If You Let It

No matter how much money you’re making, the recent hike in petrol prices surely has to make you cringe a little, unless of course someone else is paying for your petrol in which case you would automatically be promoted to our “lucky b**t**d” list.

But chances are, you pay for your own petrol and you’re looking for a way to cheapen petrol or offset the sudden drastic slash off your monthly paycheck. We’ve found a way to help you, with a little uglification of your car and some luck, you could be the target of alternative marketing companies that want to plaster your car with advertisements. These companies pay hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars to the right people with the right cars and right lifestyle.

You may be wondering why you don’t see very many of these mobile billboards around, well the reason could be that the companies with the money are looking for people that travel a lot and park their cars in interesting places, so unless you also lead a nomad lifestyle and socialise at some interesting places, your chances of spotting one is slim.

Such an easy way for people to make money almost always leads to scam jobs, if someone approaches you and asks for your car to be used in an advertising campaign, be wary and make sure you get to know everything there is to know about being involved in an advertising campaign. If you have worked in an alternative marketing company and know anything about this, please do share your experience with us.
