The Uberpreneur: How An Uber Driver Makes $252,000 A Year

[PopEmersen]

This is genius. Guy drives UBER but sets up his car as a mobile showroom for his jewelry business. Literally driving in the fastlane while being in the fastlane!

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonyous...eneur-how-an-uber-driver-makes-252000-a-year/

His name is Gavin Escolar, a charismatic Filipino man with a laugh that’s even louder than his orange-and-red striped dress shirt. We’re cruising down Valencia street when I notice diamond earrings dangling on the dashboard. Around his wrist, an emerald bracelet gleams through the sunlight. In the seat pockets, glossy catalogs display more jewelry. The cover reads: Gavin Escolar’s 2014 Collection.

Then it hits me: I’m not in Gavin’s car. I’m in his mobile showroom. He’s not just an Uber driver. Nor is he just an entrepreneur. He’s an Uberpreneur, using the ridesharing app to promote his jewelry business.
