It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: th-cam.com/video/fCtWkfDFeug/w-d-xo.html I hit $2400 in my best week. Many weeks got over $1800 with just a Prius and lots of motivation and activity (before the % raise in 2018 for Los Angeles drivers -- I made this during the slump).
Great video I live in Palm Springs and my weekly average is about 1800 to 2000 That’s about 50 hours and about 100 rides Not bad at all, the trick is to stay consistent. Five to six days a week 8 to 10 hours a day. Also the driving hours vary during the week and during the weekend.
I drive in LA and San Francisco, and you can only make a potential $1900 in San Francisco. In LA you're lucky to make $1000. With gas prices at $3.43 a gallon right now you can expect to make less per week.
I make about 1500 a week driving 50-60 hrs a week in Dallas. It’s very possible 9-12 hour days and I do the Uber rental car program so I take home about 1000-1100 dollars after I pay the 293 plus 90 dollars in tolls a week on top of 80 bucks for gas a week.
Uber/lyft is too inconsistent to rely on this formula. Sometimes you can average $10 a ride and sometimes it’s $3-4 a ride. It’s really luck of the draw.
Thank you for a template. My sleep schedule is very off, as I used to work overnight, so I have problems waking up at 6am to take advantage of the morning commute. I'm happy that I at least thought to do much of this.
Pretty soon, you and all the other Lyft and Uber drivers will be well trained enough to work for a company that doesn't cover you for accidents at work, though you drive for a living and cover 1000 miles a week; dental care or health care; or provide paid time off, performance bonuses, or opportunities for promotion. Oh, wait...
Imagine if Uber did employ drivers. Imagine going to your yearly review, told you're doing a fantastic job, but that instead of giving you a raise, you're going to have to take a 20% pay cut... That's Uber...
Good practical information with not a lot of gabbing. As a new Uber driving I got a lot of tips out of those. I may think that $1,900 a week is unrealistic, but I still learned a few tips. Thank you.
I tried driving this morning starting at 6:30AM 🤭👀 omg the traffic is crazy. I could not make it to that 7am-9am power zones until 8:25am. I got one person wanting me to take them out of the zone to their job which was good but couldn’t make it back to zone in 10mins 😡I’m going to stick with my overnight driving.
Msilverhammer Msilverhammer 2 days ago Everybody wants to make good money, take vacations, and have positive experiences... however... Jay forgot to tell you that he gets well over a dollar per mile regular driver rate, so if you are making .7350 cents per mile, and there are no bonuses, or any surge in your area, then you will make perhaps half of what he makes, and oh, did you notice that he is working a seven day week, and putting TONS of WEAR and TEAR on his vehicle. Jay has a Prius, but it still uses fuel, so how much of that $4+ a gallon California gas did he purchase to make that gross payout? Better system...do like me, and eliminate most of the bills that you can, so that you can work a three day week and still pay all of your recurring bills, have a surplus disposable income, and take time off to relax, recreate, and de-stress. Perhaps you are lucky enough to be retired, or semi retired, than maybe you can pay all your recurring bills with social security payments, a 401k, or 403b, and/or a pension if you are so lucky, and just use Uber/Lyft to supplement your retirement pay, while driving a few hours, just a few days a week. A lot of retired military guys are still very young after they retire, and they receive a military pension, so doing some Uber and Lyft rides on your own limited schedule can work great. Finally, can you imagine having to drive 7 to 10 hours every day of the week, and getting out on the road at 6AM rush hour like the rest of the sheep? The Uber 12 hour driving limit, (a/k/a the Jay Cradeur Rule), was created to prevent drivers like Jay, and Rideshare Revolution from this senseless, never ending, non-stop driving. I also have to ask incredulously...Why would anyone want to go out and drive during rush hour? ? Isn't that the whole reason for Rideshare, so you can set your own schedule, and avoid rush hour, and most traffic? Don't be a sheep, (BAAAAAA), or even worse a Lemming! (Lemming noise!) I am often woken up by the sound of people in my neighborhood, who like Jay, are slamming car doors, and starting car engines, as they are rush out to work, eager to get into huge traffic jams at the crack of dawn. Good thing I can usually roll over, and go back to sleep. LOL INSTEAD... Go to the beach, pool, fishing, hiking, the park, the gym, during the week, or perhaps just relax at home with a few good cups of coffee like me!
This is exactly my schedule! I’m too lazy so I take Sunday and Monday off. I make 800-1000 a week. I work 4-5 hours during the week and 10 hours Friday and Saturdays
It depends on the city! Dallas is about .65 per mile. You will not make that there. You can make this in CA, Portland, and a few other states that pay more than a dollar per mile.
Jay - You don't "Earn" $1,900 per week, you "Gross" $1,900 per week. The real question is, how many miles did you put on your car to give 176 rides? At $0.30 per mile, you easily incurred $450 to $600 in expenses. Please post all the details, including time and mileage incurred with dead miles.
Only in SF and like markets can you make that amount. I uberrd in SF for a year and made $1700-2000/week with many 2k weeks. That is when they were giving out $500/week bonuses .. hourly guarantees etc.. I did it m-f, 120 rides, 37-40 hrs and barely worked weekends. In other cities where there are no bonuses or incentives or little to no surge... You have to drive 60+ hrs to make $1,000-1,200/week. Don't need a big explanation how to make money in SF.. it was a no brainier.
Anyone driving 60+ hours a week and covering an average 1000 miles for Uber and or Lyft will not actually have any savings, due to their being uncontracted, underinsured, no pension benefit, no health claims, no sick days "partners" who risk losing their life, driving license, insurance, or worse, every time they drive for Uber or Lyft. After actual Uber or Lyft fees, depreciation, gas, insurance, maintenance, healthcare, salary, and other costs (tickets, unexpected expenses), it is possible that the average driver living in an average city will make far less than minimum wage. If this is true, rideshare companies won't be exactly keen to share this information with their shareholders.
I made $1500+ on the first week for about 55hrs but I am now part time. I was easier to hit like $250 for 10 hours but when I work 4 hours I am lucky to average $85.
You contradicted yourself on #5 and #6. You talked about taking care of the passenger to make more in tips, but then you say you deny a passenger because you don’t like their destination. How do you know that you won’t get a good tip by driving someone across the bridge?
Like all things, your mileage may vary depending on market, weather and luck of the pings. In the Denver market I generally make $900-1200 in revenue per week. In a really good week with awful weather I might hit $1500 but then I’m also having to deal with all the fools who don’t know how to drive in the snow...I’m talking to you fellow Uber and Lyft drivers. Generally I work 6:00AM - 7:00PM on Monday. I stay out of the airport queue until early afternoon. $250-300 is common but not guaranteed. This past Monday I only generated $210. Tuesday I work the same schedule but the money is usually less, $200-250. This has been a slow week so I only generated $155 in revenue. Wednesdays tend to be slow. I’ll start out at the same time but if it’s not happening I’ll bail and do something else. This week I took a goose egg on Wednesday. Thursday seems to be feast or famine with some being $300-400 and others being under $100. This week was $80 for 5 trips in 6 hours. Sucked. Friday is usually a solid day with lots of airport traffic. This week the queue was huge and moving slowly. $160 revenue via the app but lucked into two $20 cash tips from riders whose fares were both under $30. Nothing but luck there. I usually don’t drive late night but decided to jump back into the abyss yesterday (Saturday) and I quickly remembered why I quite driving the drunk rush. 7.5 hours online, $190 in app revenue and one $5 cash tip. At least no one puked in my car. Today ( Sunday ) I’m in the airport queue after my first ride took me to the airport. Logged in at 10:00AM and didn’t get my first ping until 11:00. Turned a $4 ride into a $33 + $5 tip ride after chatting with my pax and found out she needed to head straight to the airport after fetching her bags at her hotel. I had her change the destination and then waited about 7 minutes for her to get her bags. I’ll take that kind of opportunity any day. I’m currently sitting at $829 app revenue for the week plus my cash tips. With 7 more rides I’ll pick up a $40 quest bonus. I should finish the week with $950 app revenue plus my cash tips. If I get lucky I’ll go over $1000. Next week is another week and hopefully I’ll hit the $1200 revenue mark. FYI every week I put $50 into a maintenance reserve account and throw an extra $50 at my car note. On the day my loan payment is due I pay it plus an extra $50. That keeps me from going upside down on the loan so I can always get out of my car if need be. I save a ton of money by doing 90% of my own maintenance and repair work. That’s a benefit of growing up in the 70’s with a bunch of gearhead friends. $1900 weekly isn’t realistic in most markets but you can always make more if you approach this business as a business and not as a part time job. There’s my ping, time to go. Be safe out there.
I will be honest here,I don’t make that kind of money in my market. I drive part time, with a lot of hustle and strategy and my prayers to God for a blessed great day, I can average $400.00 a week in 20 hrs. That’s 5 hrs a day and 4 days a week. And it’s only part time that I do this. Sometimes in one day I can average $200.00 in 10 hrs and my strategy is simple. I drive around cities that are busy with people more likely to travel far away like to the airports and hotels and I drive early in the morning at 3:00 am more likely to get people from there jobs and take them 30 minutes driving to their homes or from a casino and take them to their home that’s 1 hour away and no matter what city I am I always check the air ports and stay there for more longer rides. And that’s what I do.
U cant go off of this..area where u rideshare is the factor. Btw I'm also a lyft driver. On his 20 rides he made $200. So that's based on $10 a ride. What about those $3 or $4 rides.
I was encouraged that one can make good money on a sane schedule. SF area is probably better paying than most, but the mindset and advice can apply to many markets. One of the very best videos I've seen! Thanks!
You are miss leading people. You need to tell people this only works in sf as each market is different. 7 hr in la is olny about 13 rides and = at least $100. 12 Hours will get you 150 per day.
It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: th-cam.com/video/fCtWkfDFeug/w-d-xo.html I hit $2400 in my best week. Many weeks got over $1800 with just a Prius and lots of motivation and activity (before the % raise in 2018 for Los Angeles drivers -- I made this during the slump).
@therideshareguy HI, sorry but up here in Ottawa Canada, whether you're in Lyft or Uber. . . tips do NOT come that often. I'm typically a 4.97 rated driver on average, and the best I can do, or rather, the best I've been able to do, is a 40% average. That is to say, that if I get 10 rides, 4 people will tip. I don't know why, but people up here are just not tipping people. Don't get me wrong here, people do tip, just not very many will. Maybe it has to do with the income average, I have no idea. Maybe in San Fran where you are, the income av is better I believe, so it would stand to reason I guess.
I am a discipline person and I NEVER been able to come no where near those figures you presented on this video. I work 10 to 12 hours shifts 7 days a week and the most I ever made was under 800.00 including tips and bonuses. For example yesterday I made only 48.00 dlls on a 12 hour shift. So tell me the real story how can you make 2200.00 ??
I only try to make 50 a day here in dfw , it takes 3 hrs... that's it.. effortless.. so 48 in 12 hrs is crazy... heres a tip , don't wait for a ping ever , hit the highway you will ping instantly because of the speed youre traveling
Well,I have done 8600 rides with lyft and almost 5000 rides with uber in 3 years,only ones in New years eve I make 2k so u may get lucky very few times,1900 in 2 weeks maybe but in one week?..I don't think so,at least not in South Florida!
I have been driving in El Pas,TX for about five months and have never seen anything about bonuses from Lyft and Uber. Is that something only offered in certain markets?
I don't think you can make $1900 per week just driving Uber X and Lyft Classic. I drive both in Dallas, TX. On a good day, busy day, I can get 25 rides per day and make about $200. But in the summer when the market is flooded with college students home from school, I've only been getting 10-15 rides. I've only been making about $500-600 per week and that's working part-time for a pool company. However, in the peak Fall through Spring season, I regularly make $700-800 per week. I'm buying a Luxury Sedan at the end of the year and since it will be a 2015-2016 car, I will then qualify for Power Driver Bonus if it is in Dallas at all, which I can't find any info on the web. At least this way I can draw from Uber Select, Lyft Lux and Lyft Lux Black, and of course, Uber X and Lyft Classic when it is slow. I think Jay's point is not so much how YOU can make $1900 per week, but what you can do to be a disciplined driver to increase your income! I recently started driving for Lyft as my car was not eligible due to the age of the car But that changed recently, so I can now drive Lyft. But, I've noticed that in most cases it is 10:1 Uber: Lyft ratio. Some days are slightly higher for Lyft. But he is right, I find that Lyft fares are generally higher and the payout is higher, except for minimum type rides which suck! Lyft pax generally do not like Uber, and sometimes I can't blame them!
I am calling BS, show bank statements that show a deposit of every single week $1900 of only driving UberX or regular Lyft, especially in CA. I have never seen anyone in CA make $1900 every single week, just look at how many TH-camrs live in CA and complain about the pay, do you think they could complain if they were making this type of money. Stop feeling people with false hopes.
Rest for sitting for 10 12 hours, il try working at a warehouse for 10, 12 hours a day, I do grubhub, door dash now full time sitting in my car 10 12 hours a day is heaven compared to what I used to do
Alfred Luiz I seen a guy due two Grand consistently on the slow out of season. I was shocked he showed me his pay each week. He basically drove as much as you can throughout the week. No days off...
How much does your Market pay after Uber takes their cut per mile? Reason why I ask because the people that I see that are making this kind of money gets at least $0.80 a mile after uber's take.
This might work in your area, but not everywhere. Uber and Lyft don't have bonuses that high in my area. I've heard some people in this area do Uber/Lyft full time and they work 10-12 hours 7 days a week to earn enough. I drive part time, Friday and Saturday evenings/nights for 8-8 hours and manage $140-$170 on average. Some times I'm lucky and break $200. Your tips don't work in the Lehigh Valley.
Youll never make that is Las Vegas. Uber Lyft dont give you any surge pricing at least iv never seen it from Lyft. And when it does surge pink its gone in minutes. I can make 100 in 7 or 8 hours but thats with tips and if no tips your well under 100 bucks in Sin City. Why IS SFO better than KLAS? What Lyft bonus? I get $56 where is the $250?
This is misleading. How much is real net income. You almost put 10000 miles on your car after more than 620 trips per month. You will pay more than $1000 for gas per month. You car will be dead in one year.
Your Lyft bonus!?!? I’ve been driving since December and frankly don’t remember what new driver bonuses I received. Now- zip zilch nada nyet. No surges, no bonuses. Even when Uber has $10-$12 surges on weekends I’m in a college town - short hops, drunk students and rare tips. NOT bitching Last week made over $800 w Lyft Uber Eats and UberX just facts. Little incentive to turn on Lyft. Jay can you explain?

So pretty much dedicate your life to driving. Drive during the worst times and places to drive (peak rides.) You say stay out of the traffic, but the peak rides are during hours with the heaviest traffic. You can not net $1900 a week (in Los Angeles) without dedicating most of your life to ride sharing. Please be realistic. Drivers (in Los Angeles/Orange county) will be very disappointed when they try what you're saying in this video.
He is sharing how he earns about $1900. Everyone's different and how they work. If you are being efficient, know how to work around your area and dedicated than it's possible. This isn't something you get from the start but you learn overtime.
So, it's not essential to start at 4 am to even maximise more earnings?! I know the downside would be quite a hecktick schedule to stick to, like how on earth you're going to sleep at 7:30 - 8:00 pm?! That's like even before or at sunset?!

im calling BS on this video. just by the way this guy smiles i can tell he is not genuine and is deceiving people with this video. Fact, if people were making this amount of money everyone would quit their day jobs and drive for lyft/uber. BUT THEY DONT. you know why? because this type of money doesn't exist
Uber bonuses are pathetic and in my market, it's physically impossible to do 3 trips per hour. Lyft does a little better, but still need closely watched.
Something is fishy here. If you look at his ride payments only from LYFT. They equal about $1298. Based upon him working 37.5 hours he averaged $34.61 per hour. Based upon the screenshot he shows us he gave an average of 3.5 rides per hour. The 3.5 rides per hour sure is a head scratcher. I looked at what his average amount he was making per ride and compared both LYFT and Uber‘s and they are quite close. Something just doesn’t add up here. I’m generally not a conspiracist, but this has me wondering if this channel is just a clever marketing tool for LYFT to promote drivers staying on it’s platform. Looking at what the rates are in San Francisco and doing my calculation without taking into consideration primetime earnings, at $0.192 per minute and $1.064 per mile, it’s physically impossible to make this amount per hour in a city like San Francisco with the high traffic it has. Also, if this were the case, Uber would have no drivers because all drivers would wanna be driving for lyft. It is true I don’t understand the San Francisco market, but something just doesn’t add up here. He must be doing mostly LYFT lux rides.
This is not even close to been possible when the average trip is 5 miles and you earn only $3.75 per trip, I did the math and I don't see how he can make $200 for 20 trips? that will be an average of about $10 per trip provided that he is on each trip longer than 12 miles in order to be able to accomplish that, speaking of time driving and traffic his 7 hours will not be able to accomplish these amount of trips. On the other hand, Lyft customer's base is so low and so distance from UBER quantity wise that by the time you wait for a call from lyft you have 5 calls from UBER something does not make sense here. It is a nice motivational presentation for new UBER drivers but is more of a dream come true than reality. No one makes $1,900 a week unless you are doing UBER Black and unless you are doing only long airport trips from large cities like NYC. I am sorry Jen nice presentation.
Armando Garcia I know don't see how that can be done. I am in Atlanta, you don't know where the trip is going and it can take you out of the surge area, and to drive back it takes time.
It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: th-cam.com/video/fCtWkfDFeug/w-d-xo.html I hit $2400 in my best week.

@@vickiepearson5345 note that he says he gets to within one block, starts the trip (which yes UBER does not like) that lets him see the destination, then cancels if it takes him out of a profitable zone. So he's cherry picking in a sense.
It's to bad you can't actually make as much money as you claim you make doing uber and lyft, speaking as someone who has done uber and lyft. The tips are good enough, but you really shouldn't be lying to people about how much money they can make. Uber got in trouble for doing that in the past as I'm sure you know.
Jay does make that much, you can check out his tax break down here: therideshareguy.com/how-to-file-your-rideshare-taxes-with-turbotax/ He drives in San Francisco, which is a better market than most.

I would not know, as I never received welfare, or food stamps! Well, gotta go, time for a dip in my pool and hot tub! Can you reply with a traffic report, for the South Florida area, as I may go driving later if the traffic is light. If not, I guess I'll just catch the Cavaliers/Raptors basketball playoff game, and have a cold glass of Amber Ale. I need to rest up a little before heading out on my two day hiking adventure tomorrow! Keep calm, and Uber on!

how did you see what the trip was to cancel before hitting start ride?
It all depends what market you are in. I drive in Boise ID and there is no way any driver is going to make $1900 a week.
Christopher Cherry Very true.

Many weeks got over $1800 with just a Prius and lots of motivation and activity (before the % raise in 2018 for Los Angeles drivers -- I made this during the slump).
I've done 850 rides on Lyft and I can say his plan is legit.
850 sounds really good
After expenses?
Ten dollars per ride?? HA HA HA
Great video
I live in Palm Springs and my weekly average is about 1800 to 2000
That’s about 50 hours and about 100 rides
Not bad at all, the trick is to stay consistent.
Five to six days a week 8 to 10 hours a day.
Also the driving hours vary during the week and during the weekend.
Am making around 1100 a week only with lyft, always doing the power driver bonus
2000 a week thats dam amazing man i hope we can still do this in 2019 and onward
just gotta drive at the right time
I drive in LA and San Francisco, and you can only make a potential $1900 in San Francisco. In LA you're lucky to make $1000. With gas prices at $3.43 a gallon right now you can expect to make less per week.
Francisco Lopez yup
Francisco Lopez I thought u could make $2000 a week easily at LAX and tips
E. D on uber x or Uber xl ????
SoCal Uberdude I don't even know the difference,lol
E. D Not even close, LAX traffic is its own problem. Combined with a queue of 100 drivers doesn't allow to make many trips.
I make about 1500 a week driving 50-60 hrs a week in Dallas. It’s very possible 9-12 hour days and I do the Uber rental car program so I take home about 1000-1100 dollars after I pay the 293 plus 90 dollars in tolls a week on top of 80 bucks for gas a week.
Uber/lyft is too inconsistent to rely on this formula. Sometimes you can average $10 a ride and sometimes it’s $3-4 a ride. It’s really luck of the draw.
Would love you to revise this video based on the new changes (no power drive, add Uber pro etc)
Thank you for a template. My sleep schedule is very off, as I used to work overnight, so I have problems waking up at 6am to take advantage of the morning commute. I'm happy that I at least thought to do much of this.
Alan Petty Jr same here. I drive overnight
Pretty soon, you and all the other Lyft and Uber drivers will be well trained enough to work for a company that doesn't cover you for accidents at work, though you drive for a living and cover 1000 miles a week; dental care or health care; or provide paid time off, performance bonuses, or opportunities for promotion. Oh, wait...
Imagine if Uber did employ drivers. Imagine going to your yearly review, told you're doing a fantastic job, but that instead of giving you a raise, you're going to have to take a 20% pay cut...
That's Uber...
Great breakdown and tips here Jay!
Good practical information with not a lot of gabbing. As a new Uber driving I got a lot of tips out of those. I may think that $1,900 a week is unrealistic, but I still learned a few tips. Thank you.
In my market you can make between 700 to $1,000 a week that is 60 hours to 70 hours you have to work. Which is DC Maryland and Virginia.
Newyork 456 if you don't mind me asking but what part of DMV do you drive?
thank for sharing these tips, as a new Lyft driver, I am thankful! please continue keep uploading videos!
I tried driving this morning starting at 6:30AM 🤭👀 omg the traffic is crazy. I could not make it to that 7am-9am power zones until 8:25am. I got one person wanting me to take them out of the zone to their job which was good but couldn’t make it back to zone in 10mins 😡I’m going to stick with my overnight driving.

Everybody wants to make good money, take vacations, and have positive experiences... however...
Jay forgot to tell you that he gets well over a dollar per mile regular driver rate, so if you are making .7350 cents per mile, and there are no bonuses, or any surge in your area, then you will make perhaps half of what he makes, and oh, did you notice that he is working a seven day week, and putting TONS of WEAR and TEAR on his vehicle.
Jay has a Prius, but it still uses fuel, so how much of that $4+ a gallon California gas did he purchase to make that gross payout?
Better system...do like me, and eliminate most of the bills that you can, so that you can work a three day week and still pay all of your recurring bills, have a surplus disposable income, and take time off to relax, recreate, and de-stress.
Perhaps you are lucky enough to be retired, or semi retired, than maybe you can pay all your recurring bills with social security payments, a 401k, or 403b, and/or a pension if you are so lucky, and just use Uber/Lyft to supplement your retirement pay, while driving a few hours, just a few days a week.
A lot of retired military guys are still very young after they retire, and they receive a military pension, so doing some Uber and Lyft rides on your own limited schedule can work great.
Finally, can you imagine having to drive 7 to 10 hours every day of the week, and getting out on the road at 6AM rush hour like the rest of the sheep?
The Uber 12 hour driving limit, (a/k/a the Jay Cradeur Rule), was created to prevent drivers like Jay, and Rideshare Revolution from this senseless, never ending, non-stop driving.
I also have to ask incredulously...Why would anyone want to go out and drive during rush hour? ?
Isn't that the whole reason for Rideshare, so you can set your own schedule, and avoid rush hour, and most traffic?
Don't be a sheep, (BAAAAAA), or even worse a Lemming! (Lemming noise!)
I am often woken up by the sound of people in my neighborhood, who like Jay, are slamming car doors, and starting car engines, as they are rush out to work, eager to get into huge traffic jams at the crack of dawn.
Good thing I can usually roll over, and go back to sleep. LOL
INSTEAD... Go to the beach, pool, fishing, hiking, the park, the gym, during the week, or perhaps just relax at home with a few good cups of coffee like me!
Exactly! That's the catch 22 they offer.
I drive in la , not possible more like 1200 following his schedule
That works for you in SF. I live in Sacramento and I'm lucky to make 800, max a week. Usually between 4-5 hundred a week
Thank you! I make 400 a week by doing 2 - 3 hrs 4am - 7am DAILY and then friday, sat and sun nights 7pm-11pm. This guy is bs
One of my favorite videos on this channel. Really like the way Jay presented the information.
This is exactly my schedule! I’m too lazy so I take Sunday and Monday off. I make 800-1000 a week. I work 4-5 hours during the week and 10 hours Friday and Saturdays
It depends on the city! Dallas is about .65 per mile. You will not make that there. You can make this in CA, Portland, and a few other states that pay more than a dollar per mile.
Jay - You don't "Earn" $1,900 per week, you "Gross" $1,900 per week. The real question is, how many miles did you put on your car to give 176 rides? At $0.30 per mile, you easily incurred $450 to $600 in expenses.
Please post all the details, including time and mileage incurred with dead miles.
Gee, after eleven months this guy still hasn't answered. Do Uber or Lyft pay him a salary to front for them?
Only in SF and like markets can you make that amount. I uberrd in SF for a year and made $1700-2000/week with many 2k weeks. That is when they were giving out $500/week bonuses .. hourly guarantees etc.. I did it m-f, 120 rides, 37-40 hrs and barely worked weekends. In other cities where there are no bonuses or incentives or little to no surge... You have to drive 60+ hrs to make $1,000-1,200/week.
Don't need a big explanation how to make money in SF.. it was a no brainier.
Anyone driving 60+ hours a week and covering an average 1000 miles for Uber and or Lyft will not actually have any savings, due to their being uncontracted, underinsured, no pension benefit, no health claims, no sick days "partners" who risk losing their life, driving license, insurance, or worse, every time they drive for Uber or Lyft. After actual Uber or Lyft fees, depreciation, gas, insurance, maintenance, healthcare, salary, and other costs (tickets, unexpected expenses), it is possible that the average driver living in an average city will make far less than minimum wage. If this is true, rideshare companies won't be exactly keen to share this information with their shareholders.
Jay's videos are great. Thank you. Keep them coming . Great content!
I made $1500+ on the first week for about 55hrs but I am now part time. I was easier to hit like $250 for 10 hours but when I work 4 hours I am lucky to average $85.
Whaaaat!!!? 🤩🤩🤑🤑 Amazing!!! I love that
Show the expense side of the ledger. (not including income taxes)
My Lyft bonus is capped at $185. I make an extra $100 when I hit 60 rides. That's a big difference. But I do notice that airport trips do tip more.
Thank you for your Positive outlook.
You contradicted yourself on #5 and #6. You talked about taking care of the passenger to make more in tips, but then you say you deny a passenger because you don’t like their destination. How do you know that you won’t get a good tip by driving someone across the bridge?
In Jersey Uber pays a bonus of 45 dollars for 50 ride thats less than a dollar a ride pretty cheesy . What a shocker that this is doubled in Sanfran.
Bravo bravo, great video ride share guys!!
I agree on your strategy I do the same in SF Bay Area but as a part-time driver though
I heard Lyft is getting rid of the PDB.
Like all things, your mileage may vary depending on market, weather and luck of the pings.
In the Denver market I generally make $900-1200 in revenue per week. In a really good week with awful weather I might hit $1500 but then I’m also having to deal with all the fools who don’t know how to drive in the snow...I’m talking to you fellow Uber and Lyft drivers.
Generally I work 6:00AM - 7:00PM on Monday. I stay out of the airport queue until early afternoon. $250-300 is common but not guaranteed. This past Monday I only generated $210.
Tuesday I work the same schedule but the money is usually less, $200-250. This has been a slow week so I only generated $155 in revenue.
Wednesdays tend to be slow. I’ll start out at the same time but if it’s not happening I’ll bail and do something else. This week I took a goose egg on Wednesday.
Thursday seems to be feast or famine with some being $300-400 and others being under $100. This week was $80 for 5 trips in 6 hours. Sucked.
Friday is usually a solid day with lots of airport traffic. This week the queue was huge and moving slowly. $160 revenue via the app but lucked into two $20 cash tips from riders whose fares were both under $30. Nothing but luck there.
I usually don’t drive late night but decided to jump back into the abyss yesterday (Saturday) and I quickly remembered why I quite driving the drunk rush. 7.5 hours online, $190 in app revenue and one $5 cash tip. At least no one puked in my car.
Today ( Sunday ) I’m in the airport queue after my first ride took me to the airport. Logged in at 10:00AM and didn’t get my first ping until 11:00. Turned a $4 ride into a $33 + $5 tip ride after chatting with my pax and found out she needed to head straight to the airport after fetching her bags at her hotel. I had her change the destination and then waited about 7 minutes for her to get her bags. I’ll take that kind of opportunity any day.
I’m currently sitting at $829 app revenue for the week plus my cash tips. With 7 more rides I’ll pick up a $40 quest bonus. I should finish the week with $950 app revenue plus my cash tips. If I get lucky I’ll go over $1000.
Next week is another week and hopefully I’ll hit the $1200 revenue mark.
FYI every week I put $50 into a maintenance reserve account and throw an extra $50 at my car note. On the day my loan payment is due I pay it plus an extra $50. That keeps me from going upside down on the loan so I can always get out of my car if need be.
I save a ton of money by doing 90% of my own maintenance and repair work. That’s a benefit of growing up in the 70’s with a bunch of gearhead friends.
$1900 weekly isn’t realistic in most markets but you can always make more if you approach this business as a business and not as a part time job.
There’s my ping, time to go.
Be safe out there.
I will be honest here,I don’t make that kind of money in my market. I drive part time, with a lot of hustle and strategy and my prayers to God for a blessed great day, I can average $400.00 a week in 20 hrs. That’s 5 hrs a day and 4 days a week. And it’s only part time that I do this. Sometimes in one day I can average $200.00 in 10 hrs and my strategy is simple. I drive around cities that are busy with people more likely to travel far away like to the airports and hotels and I drive early in the morning at 3:00 am more likely to get people from there jobs and take them 30 minutes driving to their homes or from a casino and take them to their home that’s 1 hour away and no matter what city I am I always check the air ports and stay there for more longer rides. And that’s what I do.
U cant go off of this..area where u rideshare is the factor. Btw I'm also a lyft driver. On his 20 rides he made $200. So that's based on $10 a ride. What about those $3 or $4 rides.
I was encouraged that one can make good money on a sane schedule. SF area is probably better paying than most, but the mindset and advice can apply to many markets. One of the very best videos I've seen! Thanks!
Thanks for your perspective Jay. Hope you enjoy your well earned vacation!
Thanks for your valuable information!!! Keep sharing your experience!
How do you know where the rider is going before actual pickup of the rider to determine to cancel or not for profitability?
You are miss leading people. You need to tell people this only works in sf as each market is different. 7 hr in la is olny about 13 rides and = at least $100. 12 Hours will get you 150 per day.
SoCal Uberdude are there quests and/or PDB? If so, and you DON'T skip Line runs you should do better in a large market.
Alan Petty Jr Yes, LA has those bonuses however, it’ s much harder to achieve then in SF.
PDB is gone in San Diego...only thing now available is Uber quest
It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: th-cam.com/video/fCtWkfDFeug/w-d-xo.html I hit $2400 in my best week.

Exactly
How do we do this now that the pay has gone down and Vegas Doran"t pay as much in Lyf. I'm fighting to do 20. What am I so I g wrong?
I am thinking to drive more with Lyft because of tips
This is BS!!!! I’m in ny and trust me I put a lot of hours and I never made 1900 a week
How many hours you put in per week
That's crazy if you not making that well at least somewhere between 600-900 it cant be that bad
Regarding #6, how did you see where he was going before you got to him and started the ride?
Mike Minervini 🤔 I wonder too?
With lyft you can see. After tapping arrive, you can see passenger destinstion. There are plenty of video showing that
Junior Gutierrez so you arrive before you really arive. And then cancel. Huh
Mike Minervini just arrive
Mike Minervini i only cancell if they are going to NYC.
@therideshareguy
HI, sorry but up here in Ottawa Canada, whether you're in Lyft or Uber. . . tips do NOT come that often. I'm typically a 4.97 rated driver on average, and the best I can do, or rather, the best I've been able to do, is a 40% average. That is to say, that if I get 10 rides, 4 people will tip. I don't know why, but people up here are just not tipping people. Don't get me wrong here, people do tip, just not very many will. Maybe it has to do with the income average, I have no idea. Maybe in San Fran where you are, the income av is better I believe, so it would stand to reason I guess.
Here in nj maximun PDB is $295 with 125 ride
What are u making now ?
I am a discipline person and I NEVER been able to come no where near those figures you presented on this video.
I work 10 to 12 hours shifts 7 days a week and the most I ever made was under 800.00 including tips and bonuses. For example yesterday I made only 48.00 dlls on a 12 hour shift.
So tell me the real story how can you make 2200.00 ??
Enrique Zapata That is old news, the times have changed and it’s impossible to make those numbers in today’s markets in SF area.
I only try to make 50 a day here in dfw , it takes 3 hrs... that's it.. effortless.. so 48 in 12 hrs is crazy... heres a tip , don't wait for a ping ever , hit the highway you will ping instantly because of the speed youre traveling
Well,I have done 8600 rides with lyft and almost 5000 rides with uber in 3 years,only ones in New years eve I make 2k so u may get lucky very few times,1900 in 2 weeks maybe but in one week?..I don't think so,at least not in South Florida!
good tips, nice guy, but morning and early evening shifts? no late night? equals your not making 1900
A very positive video! Thank you sir!
In chicago the biggest bonus i have seen is 55 rides get $85.
If you cancel, won’t your acceptance rating go down effecting bonuses?
I have been driving in El Pas,TX for about five months and have never seen anything about bonuses from Lyft and Uber. Is that something only offered in certain markets?
Thanks for the great tips!
How many different "guys" are there on Rideshare Guy?
Great video
I don't think you can make $1900 per week just driving Uber X and Lyft Classic. I drive both in Dallas, TX. On a good day, busy day, I can get 25 rides per day and make about $200. But in the summer when the market is flooded with college students home from school, I've only been getting 10-15 rides. I've only been making about $500-600 per week and that's working part-time for a pool company. However, in the peak Fall through Spring season, I regularly make $700-800 per week. I'm buying a Luxury Sedan at the end of the year and since it will be a 2015-2016 car, I will then qualify for Power Driver Bonus if it is in Dallas at all, which I can't find any info on the web. At least this way I can draw from Uber Select, Lyft Lux and Lyft Lux Black, and of course, Uber X and Lyft Classic when it is slow. I think Jay's point is not so much how YOU can make $1900 per week, but what you can do to be a disciplined driver to increase your income! I recently started driving for Lyft as my car was not eligible due to the age of the car But that changed recently, so I can now drive Lyft. But, I've noticed that in most cases it is 10:1 Uber: Lyft ratio. Some days are slightly higher for Lyft. But he is right, I find that Lyft fares are generally higher and the payout is higher, except for minimum type rides which suck! Lyft pax generally do not like Uber, and sometimes I can't blame them!
I am calling BS, show bank statements that show a deposit of every single week $1900 of only driving UberX or regular Lyft, especially in CA. I have never seen anyone in CA make $1900 every single week, just look at how many TH-camrs live in CA and complain about the pay, do you think they could complain if they were making this type of money. Stop feeling people with false hopes.
Christopher Cherry thank you very much for this tip!
Rest for sitting for 10 12 hours, il try working at a warehouse for 10, 12 hours a day, I do grubhub, door dash now full time sitting in my car 10 12 hours a day is heaven compared to what I used to do
Thats awesome, I do workout so its no problems for me
Christopher Cherry : You think cycling would also suffice?
Alfred Luiz I seen a guy due two Grand consistently on the slow out of season. I was shocked he showed me his pay each week. He basically drove as much as you can throughout the week. No days off...
Every city is different.
His exp is soly for his area. Chicago allows 10 hour to work. His expe. So call does not work for every city.
I honestly laughed so hard when he said he dipped on someone in the rain 😂
How much does your Market pay after Uber takes their cut per mile? Reason why I ask because the people that I see that are making this kind of money gets at least $0.80 a mile after uber's take.
This might work in your area, but not everywhere. Uber and Lyft don't have bonuses that high in my area. I've heard some people in this area do Uber/Lyft full time and they work 10-12 hours 7 days a week to earn enough. I drive part time, Friday and Saturday evenings/nights for 8-8 hours and manage $140-$170 on average. Some times I'm lucky and break $200. Your tips don't work in the Lehigh Valley.
He is sharing his tips based on his own experience and how he was successful in make that much money. He never said it's a one size fits all.
How do you figure on #6? How do you know where they’re going before you accept the trip??
We have a walk through on that: th-cam.com/video/06QxNKoKCdI/w-d-xo.html
Youll never make that is Las Vegas. Uber Lyft dont give you any surge pricing at least iv never seen it from Lyft. And when it does surge pink its gone in minutes. I can make 100 in 7 or 8 hours but thats with tips and if no tips your well under 100 bucks in Sin City. Why IS SFO better than KLAS? What Lyft bonus? I get $56 where is the $250?
How do you "see" where they are going when you are a block or so away from their pickup? (ie. Before you start the trip)
I know what he's talking about and what he does. It's a good way to make money and not waste time
thanks for posting
This is not true any more. Jay is now suggesting exit strategies.
This is misleading. How much is real net income. You almost put 10000 miles on your car after more than 620 trips per month. You will pay more than $1000 for gas per month. You car will be dead in one year.
How much is gas?
Your Lyft bonus!?!?
I’ve been driving since December and frankly don’t remember what new driver bonuses I received.
Now- zip zilch nada nyet.
No surges, no bonuses.
Even when Uber has $10-$12 surges on weekends
I’m in a college town - short hops, drunk students and rare tips.
NOT bitching
Last week made over $800 w Lyft Uber Eats and UberX
just facts. Little incentive to turn on Lyft.
Jay can you explain?
Nice video
Awesome scenery. What do you collect when you travel? Local currency? Spices? Art?
Do you have to be driving for a certain amount of time to be given bonuses? I have yet to see any bonus pop up in the app.
The bonuses are very small now they don't kick bonuses like that anymore now it's 30 or 40 bucks maybe seventy if you do like 60 rides
great info ok. I assumed If they aren’t doing bonuses why even have it in the app. It’s always empty.
This type of click bait annoys me. I do all of that and more and I can't make that kind of money.

So pretty much dedicate your life to driving. Drive during the worst times and places to drive (peak rides.) You say stay out of the traffic, but the peak rides are during hours with the heaviest traffic. You can not net $1900 a week (in Los Angeles) without dedicating most of your life to ride sharing. Please be realistic. Drivers (in Los Angeles/Orange county) will be very disappointed when they try what you're saying in this video.
He is sharing how he earns about $1900. Everyone's different and how they work. If you are being efficient, know how to work around your area and dedicated than it's possible. This isn't something you get from the start but you learn overtime.
This will not happen for me in my market
Great videos!( And NICE places too! lol👍..God bless you!Be safe👍🚘
Nice post Jay!
I don't see how TF you can do 20 rides ("easy") in 7 hours in Dallas.
So, it's not essential to start at 4 am to even maximise more earnings?!
I know the downside would be quite a hecktick schedule to stick to, like how on earth you're going to sleep at 7:30 - 8:00 pm?! That's like even before or at sunset?!

I never see quest in my app.
Is this current info? What’s changed?
Look at the date created dummy. Everything has changed. No more bonuses. Not like what he referenced
JackMack thanks dufus
im calling BS on this video. just by the way this guy smiles i can tell he is not genuine and is deceiving people with this video. Fact, if people were making this amount of money everyone would quit their day jobs and drive for lyft/uber. BUT THEY DONT. you know why? because this type of money doesn't exist
Everything is gonna change with the new scam of primetime and new surge.
Do you have both uber and lyft open and the same time or do you alternate
Jay drives for both Uber and Lyft but mainly Lyft, so I believe he mostly keeps the Lyft app on only.
$100 tips per day?
How are dealing with your expenses such gas o food do you have a credit card!? I am having the issue
You can use a debit card or a credit card: therideshareguy.com/what-do-you-think-about-ubers-new-rewards-debit-card/
Don't u do the bar scene?
Jay's mentioned he doesn't like driving at night, so I don't think he drives the bar scene.
Pretty waterfalls 💦
No I'm good I'm happy with two hundred bucks a week
Lmfaoooooooo
Uber bonuses are pathetic and in my market, it's physically impossible to do 3 trips per hour. Lyft does a little better, but still need closely watched.
Is this from 2012
Something is fishy here. If you look at his ride payments only from LYFT. They equal about $1298. Based upon him working 37.5 hours he averaged $34.61 per hour. Based upon the screenshot he shows us he gave an average of 3.5 rides per hour. The 3.5 rides per hour sure is a head scratcher. I looked at what his average amount he was making per ride and compared both LYFT and Uber‘s and they are quite close. Something just doesn’t add up here. I’m generally not a conspiracist, but this has me wondering if this channel is just a clever marketing tool for LYFT to promote drivers staying on it’s platform. Looking at what the rates are in San Francisco and doing my calculation without taking into consideration primetime earnings, at $0.192 per minute and $1.064 per mile, it’s physically impossible to make this amount per hour in a city like San Francisco with the high traffic it has. Also, if this were the case, Uber would have no drivers because all drivers would wanna be driving for lyft. It is true I don’t understand the San Francisco market, but something just doesn’t add up here. He must be doing mostly LYFT lux rides.
He drives a Prius, so he's not driving Lux. You can see his further income breakdown here: th-cam.com/video/jbpFk-86cUo/w-d-xo.html
Looks like he’s averaging about $460 per week in referrals.
To make 1900 dollars you have to put 1000 miles plus 500 in gas and tool
This is not even close to been possible when the average trip is 5 miles and you earn only $3.75 per trip, I did the math and I don't see how he can make $200 for 20 trips? that will be an average of about $10 per trip provided that he is on each trip longer than 12 miles in order to be able to accomplish that, speaking of time driving and traffic his 7 hours will not be able to accomplish these amount of trips. On the other hand, Lyft customer's base is so low and so distance from UBER quantity wise that by the time you wait for a call from lyft you have 5 calls from UBER something does not make sense here. It is a nice motivational presentation for new UBER drivers but is more of a dream come true than reality. No one makes $1,900 a week unless you are doing UBER Black and unless you are doing only long airport trips from large cities like NYC. I am sorry Jen nice presentation.
Armando Garcia I know don't see how that can be done. I am in Atlanta, you don't know where the trip is going and it can take you out of the surge area, and to drive back it takes time.
It can be done, if you do it right. Look at my video... you need a combo of driving, hitting bonuses, attracting tips, and recruiting pax and drivers: th-cam.com/video/fCtWkfDFeug/w-d-xo.html I hit $2400 in my best week. Many weeks got over $1800 with just a Prius and lots of motivation and activity (before the % raise in 2018 for Los Angeles drivers -- I made this during the slump).
@@vickiepearson5345 note that he says he gets to within one block, starts the trip (which yes UBER does not like) that lets him see the destination, then cancels if it takes him out of a profitable zone. So he's cherry picking in a sense.
It's to bad you can't actually make as much money as you claim you make doing uber and lyft, speaking as someone who has done uber and lyft. The tips are good enough, but you really shouldn't be lying to people about how much money they can make. Uber got in trouble for doing that in the past as I'm sure you know.
Jay does make that much, you can check out his tax break down here: therideshareguy.com/how-to-file-your-rideshare-taxes-with-turbotax/
He drives in San Francisco, which is a better market than most.
Uber has bonuses??? I get screwed here.

Everybody wants to make good money, take vacations, and have positive experiences... however...
Jay forgot to tell you that he gets well over a dollar per mile regular driver rate, so if you are making .7350 cents per mile, and there are no bonuses, or any surge in your area, then you will make perhaps half of what he makes, and oh, did you notice that he is working a seven day week, and putting TONS of WEAR and TEAR on his vehicle.
Jay has a Prius, but it still uses fuel, so how much of that $4+ a gallon California gas did he purchase to make that gross payout?
Better system...do like me, and eliminate most of the bills that you can, so that you can work a three day week and still pay all of your recurring bills, have a surplus disposable income, and take time off to relax, recreate, and de-stress.
Perhaps you are lucky enough to be retired, or semi retired, than maybe you can pay all your recurring bills with social security payments, a 401k, or 403b, and/or a pension if you are so lucky, and just use Uber/Lyft to supplement your retirement pay, while driving a few hours, just a few days a week.
A lot of retired military guys are still very young after they retire, and they receive a military pension, so doing some Uber and Lyft rides on your own limited schedule can work great.
Finally, can you imagine having to drive 7 to 10 hours every day of the week, and getting out on the road at 6AM rush hour like the rest of the sheep?
The Uber 12 hour driving limit, (a/k/a the Jay Cradeur Rule), was created to prevent drivers like Jay, and Rideshare Revolution from this senseless, never ending, non-stop driving.
I also have to ask incredulously...Why would anyone want to go out and drive during rush hour? ?
Isn't that the whole reason for Rideshare, so you can set your own schedule, and avoid rush hour, and most traffic?
Don't be a sheep, (BAAAAAA), or even worse a Lemming! (Lemming noise!)
I am often woken up by the sound of people in my neighborhood, who like Jay, are slamming car doors, and starting car engines, as they are rush out to work, eager to get into huge traffic jams at the crack of dawn.
Good thing I can usually roll over, and go back to sleep. LOL
INSTEAD... Go to the beach, pool, fishing, hiking, the park, the gym, during the week, or perhaps just relax at home with a few good cups of coffee like me!
Msilverhammer Does welfare and food stamps really pay that well?
I would not know, as I never received welfare, or food stamps!
Well, gotta go, time for a dip in my pool and hot tub!
Can you reply with a traffic report, for the South Florida area, as I may go driving later if the traffic is light.
If not, I guess I'll just catch the Cavaliers/Raptors basketball playoff game, and have a cold glass of Amber Ale.
I need to rest up a little before heading out on my two day hiking adventure tomorrow!
Keep calm, and Uber on!
