Driving Instructor extra income

With the credit crunch hitting hard, many driving instructors will be wondering of ways to make extra income to suppliment the loss of earnings due to the reduction in the number of people taking driving lessons.



There are 2 avenues that you can look at when thinking of ways of earning extra income as a driving instructor.

1. Working from home schemes. You can look at some of the various work from home schemes that are available, most of which are performance based and allow you to work as many or few hours as required. Things like conducting telephone surveys, stuffing envelopes and posting, telesales. The only thing about most of these jobs are first they go very quickly and secondly they are not high paying and can require a fair amount of your time.

2. See if you can make more money from your learner driver pupils by selling them products that they might always use but buy somewhere else. An example of this would be an Avon representative selling cosmetic products to her clients. This is only one example, if you can think of a product that is used on a regular basis, and can find a wholesaler willing to give you a good discount, then you can offer it to your students at a price that is cheaper than where they currently buy it, then you are bound to not only gain them as customers, but they might also source these products for friends and family.

It is not going to be easy to making extra income as a driving instructor, but if you do a bit of research, think hard about the options available to you, you might find a home based job or locate a product to sell to your students, friends and other family members. Don't forget that learning another language could open up the driving school market to you and bring in additional learner drivers.
