What’s in your garage? Are you using the space, or is it just…sitting there? What about your shed? You can make money sharing spaces you don’t use often.
To make money renting out your extra space, you just have to be willing to relinquish a bit of access to it. Rental platform Spacer says users who rent their garages earn about $250 per month. Your driveway could bring in $200 per month, while an outdoor space could earn you as much as $175 per month.
Of course, if you use a platform like Spacer or Neighbor.com, be aware you’ll share some of your earnings with the platform. Want to deal locally? Put up an ad on social media or consider running a small ad in your local newspaper or neighborhood newsletter.
