SHARING ECONOMY: 10 Things You Can Rent Out To Your Friends
With the advent of the sharing economy and the surge in all things sharing, the world is seeing an unprecedented surge in peer to peer exchanges of items and services. With everything available online and remote working being the new norm, there is barely anything that is not available on the internet!
A nice twist to this comes in when you think you could rent out some of the items you don’t really use that much and make money from it! Apart from helping save money for your friends, you are making money from stuff that was kept unused for so long!
Below are some of the things you can rent out to your friends and make some extra money as you go!
- Services
Right from giving tuitions to helping a friend shift to cleaning their car, you can help get somuch done for your friend at a much lesser bump on their pockets. What with making a few extra bucks for the weekend. Now you can make good use of a rather lazy weekend too!
- Books
For those of us with an insatiable apetite for reading, our shelves often leak from an overdose of books. Why not put it out for rent so folks around us can also take one they’ve been wanting to read?! Right from course books to college notes to casual reads, you can put it all out and rake in some money from it!
- Cycle
Make commuting easier, healthier and economical for your friends and rent out that fancy cycle for them. Who doesn’t like a few peddle down the road instead of taking the car out!
- Clothes
That formal jacket or the three piece suit you could rent out to your friends and save her a ton of money? Yeah, give it out! Share some love. What if your jacket proves lucky for her upcoming interview?!
- Travel Gear
Backpacks, ski boots, all weather goggles or your GoPro, put it out for your friends to rent for the upcoming vacation. Save money for them and make money for yourself. You wouldn’t be using the ski boots anytimes soon again!
- Electronics
Powerbanks, electronic lighters, electric lunch boxes or your electric lawn blower. No reason why they can’t be give out to your friends when you aren’t using them.
- Apartment/Bed
Ever had a guy bailing out at the last moment on a rented apartment? Why not upload requirement for that empty bed / room and let your friends patch you up with a potential room partner that could save you a ton in room rental and make you some too!
- Tools
The power driller was last used about 3 years back for stroking in three nails. You bought the drill machine, that, a master 180 piece Bosch tool box and a load of other stuff you thought you needed so much, only for them to never see the light of the day again! Rent it out so people could use it and so you could buy a round of beer for yourself!
- Games & Consoles
You got yourself that gaming console and bought the latest games for it. But now that work and travel keeps you busy, your console and games are hardly ever used. There are folks out there who could use a great console and those games. Give them out and avoid rotting your collection!
- Camera & Accessories
Your friend is planning to go on a vacation but is not willing to spend a fortune on a new pro-camera. Rent yours out to him and throw in a couple of lenses for a sweet deal he can’t refuse! Thank us later!
