Folyo

The easiest and the most lucrative opportunity is the new joung company Folyo. The underlying idea to foil your vehicle is not new, but if you work with Folyo, you can manage your earnings yourself. The magic word here is “contact chance” and it means the following: the more km you drive, the more chances you get to be seen by potential clients, the more money you earn. Depending on the type of covering (partial or full covering), the drivers can earn between 400 and 700 Euro per month.

There are only a few prerequisites: You have to drive at least 40 km a day in a determined area and the vehicle has to meet some formal criteria (age, condition, … ).

And this is how it works: Download the Folyo-App (currently only the iOS version is available), register, find an available campaign, bring your car to the foiling company within a couple of hours and you are ready to go!
