Drive for Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash? Your dashcam sees crashes, hit-and-runs, and close calls every week. When someone needs that footage — a person involved in an incident, an attorney, an insurer — Blume Drive finds you and pays you for the clip. HOW IT WORKS Start a shift when you go online with your rideshare app. Blume Drive quietly notes your route in the background while you work. Drive like you always do. No detours, no assignments — your dashcam records the road like it always has. When someone requests footage from a street you passed, you get a push notification with the exact time and place. Answer with one tap. Have the clip? Upload the minute that matters from your phone. When it sells, your share lands on your balance — cash out to your bank anytime. WHAT YOU EARN • Footage sales: clips typically sell for $70–$150, and you keep half of every sale. One good clip can out-earn a full day of rides. • Referrals: invite another driver and earn $10 when they complete their first 100 miles on shift. • Camera program: no dashcam yet? Buy any qualifying camera and we credit you $8 for every active week until its full price is repaid. ALSO IN THE APP • A free automatic mileage log — see your miles, hours, and estimated IRS deduction for every day you drive. • Earnings analytics: what an hour of your driving is really worth. • Blume Sign: control your Blume LED rider-name display over Bluetooth. PRIVACY, HONESTLY • Location is recorded only while your shift is on — you start and stop it yourself. Off shift, nothing is collected. • No one ever sees your name, your route, or where you are. Buyers only learn that "a driver" was near the incident. • Footage is shared only when you personally choose to upload it. WHAT YOU NEED A dashcam recording at 1080p or better (the app verifies it with a one-minute test clip), an iPhone, and miles in the Charlotte, NC metro — that's where the pilot is live. More cities as the driver network grows. Questions? hello@blumedrive.com
