Car Advertising: How to Make $ 500 a Month and Avoid Scammers

Advertising on your own car is a good way of passive income for those who spend a lot of time behind the wheel, notes The Penny Hoarder. But fraud is rampant in this industry, so it’s very important to make sure that a company offering you stickers or branding an entire car is legal.

It's no secret that car advertising is a popular source of income for scammers. For example, you may receive an email or text message telling you that you have been selected for a promotion. "You'll make hundreds of dollars a week!" - the newsletter promises.

This step as such cannot be completely called fraudulent, but you are guaranteed not to earn hundreds a week. Even the largest companies with the highest fees for advertising on cars do not pay that much.

And yet, by placing advertising on your car, it is quite possible to earn up to $500 a month - if you participate in legal advertising campaigns. Here are some ways to avoid scammers and find a legitimate deal.

Common Fraud Methods

Both the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission are urging consumers to fear fraud with car stickers and car branding.

Some dubious companies operate schemes in which drivers themselves buy and install advertising, and then it seems to evaporate, or its representatives pretend that they have never dealt with you. In doing so, the scammers usually get free advertising and a few dollars from the sticker purchase - without any payment to the driver.

One of the most important warning signals: the company requires you to pay an advance for a car film, sticker, or other type of advertisement.

"Any time you as a driver have to pay out of pocket, it's a scam," says Judah Longgreer, CEO of Nickelytics, a car advertising service.

Pay particular attention to how you get paid. Some automotive film companies use a referral method in which a stranger needs to see your ad, call a number or visit a website before the company pays you anything.

Another common and more harmful scheme that the FTC describes is “check forgery” scams, where a company offers you an expensive ad installation. They then send you a fraudulent check as compensation and claim to overpay you and ask you to pay them back the difference. Then, a few days later, the original check bounces and you don't get any money, plus you lose any of the funds you sent them as "difference."

And it doesn’t matter if it’s a car advertisement or not, listen to the FTC warning: “Never send money to the person who sent you the check.” And even more so do not waste your money. Wait for the bank to respond to the check.

How To Find A Legal Way To Make Money From Car Advertising

Numerous companies say they will pay you for branding your car. Unable to check them all.

Like some general rules. Most likely you are dealing with fraud if:

  • the company contacts you unexpectedly;
  • the company asks for money in advance;
  • The company says it will pay you a lot of money without checking how much time you spend driving.

If it’s still not easy for you: google [company name] + reviews. Check company information, social media accounts.

The Penny Hoarder has studied the services of large car branding and advertising companies that offer advertising campaigns in several regions of the United States. These are legitimate businesses.
