Business & Investing

Can you free up some space around your home or property ? If you’re like most people and the answer is yes, you to can join the new wave of smart home and business owners making regular income by storing other people’s stuff!  What could be better than a silent room-mate that never snores, hogs the shower or eats your food, but pays you rent each week anyway?

Thanks to the new Private Storage idea , which started in Brisbane, anyone with some unused space of almost any size around their home or business can now advertise it online at spaceout.com.au, the Australian headquarters of Private Storage.

Like many great ideas, this concept was born out of necessity. Damon, one of the  founders said, “I urgently needed to store some stuff when I was going overseas. I didn’t want to sell it and at the time I couldn’t afford the regular self storage options, so I made a deal with some of my mates. Later, they kept saying what a great deal it was – my friends made some easy cash and I got cheap storage, we all came out ahead,  and  the SpaceOut concept grew from there.”

You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to organise storage space. All you need is to register some cleared, useful space like a room, a cupboard, part of a shed or garaget or under your house and people just contact you via the website. You arrange for them to take a look at the space, and if you’re both happy, it’s as simple as that.

“Because the idea was born out of limited funds, we wanted anyone to be able to access and use SpaceOut, and that’s why it is FREE to register your space.”

Of course the ‘Space Renters’ really benefit too. They get to store their stuff locally, in a place that is j perfect for their needs , and they save a lot on the cost of storing their things.

“In struggling economic times like we’re in right now, this is one of those amazingly simple, smart moves people can make to easily increase their income. I hope readers will tell their friends and family about this too so that many people can benefit.”
