She first started listing her spaces on the YourParkingSpace app to earn some extra cash alongside her full time job working in a hot tub show room. When the pandemic hit and she had to stop working she was keen to keep up her side hustle and has since turned it into her full-time job. Emma told The Sun: "It suddenly got really busy when everything opened back up again and I realised I could earn a pretty decent wage. "Now, all of my spaces are full almost every weekend and even during the week in holiday periods." The mum -of-three revealed how a handy paddock round the back of her house allows her to rent out even more spaces than if it was just her driveway. Drivers can come and drop off their vehicle in the spot in front of her home and pop the keys through her letter box. From there Emma will move the car round to the fenced in space, which can fit around 50 cars in it at once. She reckons she makes around £5,000 a month, including money made through rival app JustPark. Using both of the platforms Emma splits the number of spaces and charges £6.50 a day - just a measly 10% of the £65 charged by the airport. She said: "We get a lot of commuters who come and park up before flying out for work in Glasgow for example during the week, then coming home on weekends. "Because my prices are so much lower than the airport, I get a lot of regulars too if they travel a lot for work." Among the rest of her cli){kind=link}
