Featured Image: Ruth Lewis Edinburgh Live
Recently I read about a woman from Edinburgh who paid for her holidays to Spain by renting out her driveway to tourists.
Ruth Lewis earned £1,500 last year renting out her driveway through a website called YourParkingSpace.
She first listed her driveway on the website in 2018 for £5 a day but soon upped the price to £9 per day to be in line with other people in the area.
Quite a lot of people who pay to use her driveway are tourists who are staying at Airbnb places nearby which have no or little parking space. The rest are either tourists or business people visiting for the day.
In the last couple of years, she has had only one issue where a paying customer parked on the wrong driveway.
The police were called by her neighbours after finding a car on their driveway, but the matter was resolved quickly.
Other than that, she has had a stress free and steady second income renting out her driveway to strangers.
Location is important here.
Edinburgh is a tourist hotspot and so this works well for Ruth. It may not work well for someone in the middle of nowhere who has an empty driveway.
I once wrote about this before after a trip to the coast where I couldn’t find a parking space.

The town was rammed that weekend with visitors and all parking spots were taken. As soon as one became vacant, there were several cars hovering waiting to pounce.
I remember driving past several empty driveways a couple of streets back from the seafront which would have been ideal for people looking for a place to park their cars.
I would have happily paid to have an exclusive parking spot for the day. I’m sure I am not alone.
As Ruth has shown us, you can make a decent amount of money from utilising a wasted space.
What I love about this way to make money is that you don’t need to produce anything, sell anything or do anything other than allow someone to put a car on a small parcel of land in front of your house.
If it is not being used, why not make money from it?
Ruth and her husband have enjoyed several holidays abroad with the money she earned renting out the space they weren’t using.
It really is a simple way to make some extra money.
If you don’t have a driveway, or live in an area where it is unlikely that people would want or need to rent your driveway, there are many other ways to make money that will pay for things such as holidays abroad.
Ruth made £1,500 in one year renting her driveway. That equates to £125 a month… which is not a lot really.
I believe most people can earn £125 extra a month quite easily.
One method is to sell simple manuals and courses via email.
Depending on what subject the manuals and courses are about, you quite easily make more than £125 a month.
We sell manuals and courses that range in prices from £47 right up to several hundred pounds.
You only need to sell a handful before you are making more than the £125 per month target.
We, and many others, make thousands of pounds each month selling products via email… £125 a month should be your starting point.
It can take as little as five minutes to write an email that makes money.
What’s even better, you don’t have to create your own manuals or courses; you can sell other people’s products for a large commission.

PS… Also, because this is all done online, it can be done from anywhere in the world. You can take it with you wherever you travel and make money.
