Making Money Renting Online: Zilok Tells You How Much

Oct. 4, 2008 - PRLog -- Did you know that in America 80% of the objects we own are used less than once a month? With http://www.zilok.com, you can make money by renting it all to other people. But how much money? And rent what? Zilok tells you with its Rental Income Simulator.

Crunched credit? Rent to save and make money!
Shaken by the credit crunch and soaring costs of living, people are looking for new sources of income and ways to save money. Zilok provides both. The platform allows you to make money by renting the things you own to other people. Tools, projectors, strollers, trucks, vacation rentals… you can put it all for rent.  On the flip side, for your next project or special occasion, save money and the environment by renting from a neighbor!

There’s a goldmine in your closet
What’s in my garage that people may need? A camper. A surfboard. A pressure washer. In my living room? A Wii videogame system, a Blu-Ray player, a SLR digital camera. In my bedroom? A Halloween costume, a luxury purse, a space heater. Room by room, the Rental Income Simulator lets you select what you have and then tells you how much money you can expect to make. With the items above, that’s $147 you could earn every month. Time to brush the dust off this barely used gear and create rental listings on Zilok!

Show me the money
Rental Income projections are based on the average price and on how often and for how long items are rented on the site. Propelled by the transition from an economy of ownership to an economy of usage, the Zilok community keeps growing, and Rental Incomes will increase with it. Steve from San Francisco agrees: “With my SLR camera alone I made $200 last month with Zilok. Now I’m going to list many more objects”.
