Nancy Daily earns $33 a month in gas

When Nancy Daily drives, she advertises for an eBay resale service and earns gas money for herself.

"The way prices are on gas right now, I'm very interested in keeping my expenses down," she says.

She's one of the newest partners in www.freegashelp.com, a California company that pays people to attach magnetic advertising panels to their personal cars.

"Now for me, I don't ride in those circles where someone would have a problem with me showing up like this," says Daily.

The company does periodic spot checks - to ensure that Daily is actually using the panel and gives her a pre-paid gas card to use when filling up her tank.

"I look at it like if I used the license plate holder that my local dealership gave me, I'd be advertising for them, and I wouldn't be receiving anything back for it!" Daily says.

She earns $33 a month, enough for one tank.

The reimbursement amount depends on the type of car, and number of panels.

"I've already been told they're gonna have another panel for my other door, here shortly, and maybe some for the rear window as well," she says.

The company has just started offering the service in North Texas, but plans to recruit many more rolling billboards in the weeks to come.
