Make your house a star

You may not realise it, but the house you are living in could soon be making you money and you don't even need to leave your lounge room.

Production companies and photographers are constantly on the look out for the perfect house to film a new commercial, television series or magazine spread – and your house could be next.

It's the money making enterprise that could see you reaping big rewards.
Homeowners can earn up to tens of thousands of dollars for a long TV series, where crews need to return each week.
If you don't want to worry about crews in your house on a weekly basis, you can simply 'rent' out your house for a one day photo shoot which could earn you up to $2000.
What makes your home a potential star?
  • The biggest thing to keep in mind is the size of the home - crews need enough room to work
  • Easy access to the house is important for gear
  • Plenty of parking for trucks and equipment in the neighbourhood is also important
  • A quiet location when filming and recording sound

If you're interested in having your house involved, please visit the following websites.
