Be a School Commute Driver

Many parents have to work in the morning and find it difficult to juggle their own morning routines with their children's. If you have children and have any free time in the mornings or afternoons, offer to take your friends' children, or speak to the parents of your children's friends. Try and find a few people who live in your general vicinity to make the most efficient use of your time. Many parents would be happy to pay a small fee for you to open up some more time in their morning.

Make Repair Videos

Drivers who are familiar with the internal workings of their vehicle can use their expertise to make money online. Using a camera, you can make simple stepby-step repair videos that you can then post online to sites like Youtube. Through advertising and internet traffic, you can make money off these videos by growing your online follower base. Make your videos creative and entertaining to increase your chances of going viral.

Be a Delivery Driver

Many businesses need drivers with reliable vehicles to drop off purchases at customers' addresses. If you have a reliable vehicle and do not mind being on the road for extensive periods of time, try applying for a position as a delivery driver. Restaurants, pharmacies, retail stores and many other types of businesses hire delivery drivers regularly. Additionally, you can use your car to transport people's pets to and from grooming appointments. Other opportunities are available at wholesale farms, where farmers deliver organic vegetables to restaurants and residences in the area. Meal delivery service apps like Postmates and Uber Eats pay drivers to pick up and deliver food to customers in their local area.

Join a Rideshare Service

Today, ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft are extremely popular for people who need a ride and do not have access to a vehicle. With ridesharing, drivers register their personal vehicles with the main service (i.e. Uber, Lyft) and go through a screening process to ensure both the driver and passengers' safety. From there, drivers are notified through an app on their smartphone when there are passengers in their area seeking a ride. Drivers are paid electronically once they drop the passenger at their destination.

Use Car to Advertise

Companies are always looking for new and innovative ways to advertise. Companies are also always looking for space on which to advertise. If you do not mind having large decals on your vehicle, consider renting the space on your doors and windows out to local companies for advertising. This way you get paid simply for driving around town.

HOW TO CONNECT WITH OTHER RIDESHARE DRIVERS

Ridesharing in the United States is a job that many drivers have taken on over the past couple of years.

The idea behind ridesharing is that drivers are already on the road throughout the day anyway, so they can make some extra money by transporting other passengers to their destinations. However, ridesharing drivers must operate their vehicles--and their businesses--by themselves during their ridesharing shifts. This can become pretty lonely after a little while. Beginning rideshare drivers can also benefit from tips and guidance given by veteran rideshare drivers.
