    ⚡️Combining batched bonus strategies and per delivery bonus strategies earned me nearly $800 in just 20 hours of driving (almost $40/hr).

    I swear you're one of the few I can follow for tips, everyone else shows off and scolds people for not making money which isn't very helpful, I learn nothing and get bad suggestions. I am legit struggling to meet my goals and I'm not messing around nor doing it for extra money, I need this to work. I'm a freelancer for audiovisual and I get work pretty sparingly so I need this to fill the times I'm not working.

I started 3 weeks ago and made $15 an hour my first time out, now I’m making $25-30 an hour, I now do lunch during the week with a little after lunch time and then on weekends, dinner time. I can only do 2-3 hours at a time, Tuesday thru Sunday, with a “rest” Sunday night thru Monday night. Thank you so much!

    As a part-time Uber driver. I average over $800 a week (27 hours a week). I’m a 4.99 rated driver with nearly 6,000 drives. I consider myself to be personable yet respectful. I only engage when engaged. Yet, tips make up less than 10% of my drives. The difference in tipping between driving and food delivery is significant. However, I prefer driving over food delivery because of the considerable wear and tear of stop/start driving with food delivery. Most wear on an engine comes from starting the car. Food delivery requires turning off and turning on your car with nearly every pickup and drop off.

    • @aricblackwelder8491
      @aricblackwelder8491 2 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      You're a bit mistaken here, and it's a common misconception. Most wear comes from COLD starts. Once the engine is up to operating temperature, you have nothing to really worry about with warm starts. That said, you can likely leave your car running anyway on pickup and delivery if you're that paranoid.

      @@northpole8318 When I first started I used to scoop up stacked order as I thought those led to the best pay. What I discovered was (it seems like) usually one of the orders is garbage, and the other carries the majority of the pay. As if they mix a small pay order with a larger pay order because nobody was picking up the smaller order. For example let's say you get a $20 stack, and one is for $3 and the other is for $17. The $3 (in this example) is in an apartment complex and it took a lot of time to deliver. Ultimately, you ended up wasting time when you could've just done the $17, and taken another order for more than $3. The other time waster is if the orders are in two separate stops. Even if they're close together this still takes extra time, and what if one, or both of those locations isn't ready? You literally lose money standing there waiting. I will still take a stack order, if the overall miles is very low. I like a stack coming from one restaurant to two locations for under 5 miles total. When I was new I felt the urge to take everything, now my acceptance rate on doordash is 9%. I went from a little over $20 per hour when I started to over $35 / hour consistently today. The way I did this was delivering during the dinner rush, , multi-apping between DD and UE, and only accepting orders < 6 miles total that pay more than $1.50 / mile MINIMUM. Decline, decline, decline.

If you have a relatively new car, your vehicle cost per year is going to be relatively low. If you have an older car, your vehicle cost, maintenance, Repairs etc. is going to be extremely high, especially with the extra wear and tear on the suspension and just everything about the car.
    I’m a bit surprised that with all the strategy info here there isn’t a mention of a newer car versus older car, and repair costs, and yes value depreciation of the newer car which will be more, dollar wise than with an older car. These costs would be directly connected to amount of mileage driven, and state of the roads on which you drive. I don’t know if there have been any videos that dive into this important issue, and if there are that’s great, but if there aren’t there certainly should be, especially from a business perspective, considering that in the end net profit is all that matters. Period.
    The two relatively small cities in my area offer far more trips per shift then the outer areas, and less mileage as well. But wear & tear on the car is extreme.
    I spent $2200 this spring to replace and upgrade Suspension parts because of the six months prior wear & tear on the car in the cities. Consequently, “strategy-wise” I don’t deliver in those areas, anymore unless pulled there by deliveries that end up in those areas. It’s just not worth it to drive 30 minutes back to my preferred area so I try to find trips that bring me back to my preferred area. That’s not easy & absolutely cuts into my “Net” per hour. So if I subtract the amount of money that I spend on repairs, and much poorer gas mileage in the two cities, with the average 15 to 20 stop signs on each single delivery (yup), that’s NOT counting stoplights (7 to 10 per single delivery), financially it’s just not worth it.
    Just a quick check as of my comment today December 17, 2021, the average gas price in Pittsburgh is $3.55, in my area Hartford it’s $3.48. But In San Diego since it was mentioned it’s $4.63. And in Los Angeles California it’s $4.70. So that’s s huge factor depending on your market.
    So when we’re talking about “optimize”, no strategy can be considered without taking these factors into account. The data that discussed here is essentially based on if we were driving on perfectly flat roads with no potholes, only stoplights. rush-hour traffic is generally considered, which certainly figures in. But not to take into consideration the real world cost of the vehicle, skews the data completely. The general concepts work, but I can’t use half of the information, because I have to figure in the fact that there are many more orders in the two cities, but it just doesn’t pay in real-world terms. In my market I drive roughly 125 miles a day in six hours. That works out to over 32,000 miles a year. Think about that. Figured that into let’s say a car with 125,000 miles on it to start (my car), Chances are I will need to buy a new car, or a new USED car, every two years. I absolutely have to figure that into my “strategy” and into my calculations of how much I actually make net. In my area, at best a new used car is roughly $7,000 to $10,000, on the cheap side so… yeah🙄

    Im a Single Mom of 1. Laid off in Aug 2022 (been laid off three times since the pandemic!) unemployment, ran out in March 2023. I’ve been building several Etsy shops.
    One of them is consistently making revenue each month, but I don’t touch the money.
    I started ridesharing a little over a month ago again and did my first hour of DoorDash today just to get my foot in the water while I wait for Uber to fix my account so I can do Uber Eats.
    Hourly wise with Uber I’m already making more power than I did at my Mortgage job .
    During the summer, I will be experimenting what it would be like to actually have all day to work instead of stopping to pick up my kids from kindergarten at 2:30 PM, even though I cook, clean and work on my side hustle when I get home
    He’ll be in daycamp all day so I’m gonna have to decide at some point do I want to put him back in after school care for the cost of $97 a week and I think I can already tell I will easily be able to make up that $97 a week if I could just have more of an opportunity to make more money between the hours of 7:40 AM to 5:30 PM
    I want to do Uber in the early morning and then do food delivery during the peak, lunch hours and then go back to do an Uber but… I only want to work three days a week
    Because again, as a single mother, I have to do laundry, meal, prep, grocery shop, take care of my child, one other errands…
    So I’ve been trying to establish a base Minimum of working three days during the week and then every other weekend when he’s with his dad.
    I am very limited I cannot work every single weekend
    But what I’m doing on my days off during the week is growing my TH-cam channel and of course working on my thriving Etsy shop right now
    It’s all worth it regardless as long as you’re working on some thing else that you’re growing like a side hustle, or growing your own business or personal brand
    Even if you’re making $20 an hour you have to remind yourself that the flexibility in the freedom is just as important if it means you get the flexibility and the freedom to work on other projects, side, hustles or businesses that will make you money in the long term .
    For those of y’all that are hustling your own business while you’re doing gig work like Mike (and me) …
    Keep doing what you’re doing, keep hustling, keep up your motivation, because there is nothing better right now than to be your own business in this economy right now .
    Obviously real estate is not doing well right now I have a lot of friends that are struggling in the mortgage business but I have been trying to grow other online e-commerce businesses since January 2021, because I know that there is no job security anymore
    In fact, I am afraid of taking a full-time job that’s going to keep me from working on these other passion projects .

    @teecee4459 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    $/hr is the wrong way to look at it. $/mile is the best metric for measuring how well you're doing in the delivery game. Mileage = time, so it takes time into account too. If the platform fails to deliver more than $1/mile, it's not good. You must tally all miles, from leaving garage to returning to garage. Therefore, if you want to make $1,000/week, you're looking at a max of 1,000 miles per week if the platform is legit, which means you're putting 52,000 miles per year on your vehicle. You really want to have a $1.50/mile or better which would reduce your annual mileage to 35,000/year, assuming $1,000/week earnings, which is much more sustainable in my opinion. I'm not excited to put 52,000 miles/year on my vehicle, even though it's a 4 cylinder Honda Accord. 35,000/year is ok.

I work a full time job during the week and I’m way too mentally exhausted to do orders after, so I reserve my energy on Saturdays during lunch. It’s a cool little side gig. I live in Connecticut and my town has a ton of restaurants. My favorite is Canton/simsbury/Bloomfield area and MAYBE West Hartford. I don’t mess with Hartford orders because the traffic is disgusting and not worth the drive no matter the payout.

    Three rules
    1 dont take under $5

    3 time $5=15 min.(this is the rule that betrays most Dashers)
    That 20hr is important to your survival as a dasher. If you fall below 20 you are paying to work. Even their guaranteed pay isn't enough. Test it out plz prove me wrong

I work at the middle of lunch thru dinner stopping at 12am. The least amount I have made a day was 200.00 and it was just a slow day. I drive a 6 cylinder Benz and I spend 160.00 in fuel for a week and I usually earn 1400 or a little more before expenses for the week.

I’m using the tips, I multi app, I quickly figure my $$ versus mileage, I call my clients to let them know I’m enroute to pick up their food then follow up with texts & let them know once Im enroute usually with their ETA. Once I deliver I always Thank them. But I’m still making more than I’ve ever made. I’m still open to suggestions however and love the teachings. I’m sure, like myself that these videos & the VIP videos are very helpful to us. Thank you for all you do to help all of us.

    One part of your video around the 11 min mark you talk about multitasking. Update. Doordash will often give you 2 or 3 orders at the same time especially during very busy time periods. The customer can see you delivering each order before theirs and I dont think Doordash tells the customer this. I have personally gone in the opposite direction to deliver the 1st order only to retrace my tracks and then sum to deliver the second. And the customer can see the whole trip.

      Car models have to be 1998 at least for Uber eats. It's definitely plausible to set aside a couple thousand dollars for whenever your current car takes a Shiz.
      But then again, depends on your financial situation. Someone with a $1800 a month mortgage is gonna think a lot differently about this than someone with a $1000 per month mortgage/ rent

    Hi Mike, I was googling up something and popped up your video. Love it. I'm very new to this and wished I started sooner. I have adult children that do this Uber Eats and would come home with $100's after working there 9to5 jobs by doing this gig! I thought I'm going to do this, so here you go I'm now doing it. And needless to say I quit my job with Cigna by the way it was the worst experience ever working for Cigna. However I was able to quit my job with Cigna and went back to school I started a couple weeks ago, And that's all because of Uber Eats. I am able to continue my education and get my license to be a nurse, and still support myself and all my bills. I've made very good money doing this. And a lot of your tips I have of course done because it's in my blood, I have always been a people person I've worked with people for the past 30 years I love my patients I am in the healthcare field so I would never give that up but Uber Eats will get me through school and then some.

    I average around $1000/week. I don’t think people are gauging their hours the same way though. I’m usually out working 8-9 hours a day. 6-7 days per week. I’m not always working that many hours though. I am logged off a lot while I chase surges, go to a busier area, waiting for rush, etc. The suburbs aren’t as busy as Chicago, but I complete nowhere near as many deliveries as what some people are saying. Anything over 20 per day is giving yourself and your car to these companies that couldn’t care less about us. It’s all about timing. Strategy is huge. Multi platform is also key. GH in my area is waaaay better for tips. UE is better on weekends/rush hour because of surges. DD is busier than GH, but not as good on tips. You have to navigate around those kind of trends in order to maximize your earnings without selling yourself out. I used to chase bonuses on UE, but $2 minimum orders is just plain disrespectful. Not every market has that minimum, but that’s what we swallow in Chicagoland. Long story short, GH Mon-Thu during dinner rush. UE and DD after GH hours to stay busy. Works for me. $1000/week consistently while usually working 6 days/week. If you’re giving them more than 50 hours per week outside your home, they own you and your car. No matter how much you make.
