Was a good first day! Next video I'm trying out UberEats for the first time so subscribe and hit the bell so you know when I've posted!
Where are you located?
Northern Virginia
Nice yeah I got 108 in 4 hrs where I'm at
With 3 dollars peak pay
Excellent!
I'm an older dude who has been apprehensive about getting started on Uber, just anxiety issues. Your video helped me, thank you.
Just do it. You will love the freedom. 😊
Thanks very much.
I like your style of keeping to the point, no ego or fluff.
Best of luck in your ventures!!
Just started doordashing yesterday. This video was very informative. Thank you!
What a smooth dude! Great video thanks for sharing your experience.
Did my first dash hours yesterday! I took a person with me to help with navigation of the app. Very helpful, but I'll have to do it alone to see for real how this will go. A couple of my places had drive thru only, long waits! I will be declining the long distance ones too, wasted time and gas for the orders. Lesson learned!!! Tips where less than doordash pay, but nice for first try. Thank you for the straightforward video, I need to fix my navigation audio as well.
Easy, concise and very helpful information! Thanks!!!
Great first day earnings! Thank you for sharing!
One tip is when you have confirmed pick up and go to directions so you can drive to where it needs to go you can zoom out and see the recommended route from point a to point b. This way if you're familiar with the area you're in you can get a clear idea of where you're going before you even start driving😊🤘
you give a great perspective! I work from home doing E-commerce and use it all the time!
Thanks
Great job on a detailed video. No rants or opinions just facts about DD ! Keep up the videos ! Most you tubers just rant about their emotions on things, nice to see an articulate brain
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Love your patience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very informative, going to be trying this for some supplemental income. Cheers
I appreciate this! I just left my job 2 1/2 weeks ago to homeschool my oldest kiddo with his unique situation it was best… I signed up for door dash a week ago but haven’t done it yet. I think we may do a lunch shift in between school stuff to test it out :)
I wish I recording everything when I started! I learned so much my first couple weeks so it will be cool for new people to watch and learn with you
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
This video was hilarious without you even trying to be 😂 you earned my subscription lmaoo
Good info, thanks!
Good job dude thanks for the share im about to get back out there using door dash for the first time i uded to uber eats and post mate myself. Nice. Office big bro i got one similar we. Do what we must to bring home the bacon man !
doordash does pretty good with the stacked orders especially when you have one already, where they like to get you is when they send 2 at the same time one is usually decent while the other is a no tip max hassle order
Much respect. Just subscribed.
great job I am also starting with all these delivery services and you tube thanks for sharing
Welcome to the channel!
Very informative even 2 years later. I applied the other day and will be dashing this weekend!
Great first Day! They reeled you in just enough to keep you hooked. lol..
Great video 📸
Wow, I'm impressed. You're juggling learning this app while filming and explaining what you're doing, and you seem at ease as though you've done this all many times. Thank you for making these videos. I have thought about doing DD or UE for a long time, but for some reason, am nervous to try them. I guess I get pretty anxious when I'm new at something. Anyway, good luck - I'll keep watching and get up the nerve one of these days to try one or both of them!
Welcome to the channel! You can do it, there’s a big community out there to help!
I was nervous too, so I just started with a few deliveries a week to feel it out. I slowly started recognizing patterns like best restaurants, most profitable areas, which customers don't tip and which do, which times are worth working and when the best promotions are. It's a bit of a learning curve but you'll get the hang of it! Start small, good luck :)
I was pumped to start IC but once I began I was so nervous and anxiety set in. I still struggle with the anxiety while shopping and the clock is ticking. I’ve been doing it two months and not making the best $$ nothing over $500/wk yet. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I will keep at it and hopefully things pick up! As for the anxiety? I face it everyday and the more you do it, the more the anxiety will subside. Resist the devil and he will flee from you!! Face the fear!! All the best!💪🏼😊🪴🇨🇦
@@mitchabrams4082 tomorrow might be my first time!!!
@@comercole1940 Good luck!
Thanks for your video, I do Instacart and do okay.. and I've been nervous to DD but I'll be closing dash now in an hour wish me luck lol
Awesome vid...
Nic e simple video thank u
Good job. Very encouraging for those who are thinking about dashing
Great video!
Very impressive & helpful video! I'm on your 1st video & am going to binge watch all your others! Can't wait to see you posting again! I just signed up for DD & UE; trying to get the courage to do my first day! 😆 🤣 😂!!
Thanks Jenna - dive in and just do it. It's pretty easy. Good luck!
@@mitchabrams4082 I just can't hit the button!! We all need you to return for motivational videos for us beginners.
@@Jenna_xo hehe - hit the button! I hope to be back out there soon.
Good video! Thanks!!
Thanks for your help
great video.
I enjoyed the video very professional, which is nice as you don’t see that much.
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Good video thanx
great video ty.
Thanks
I decided to sign up just in case I decided to try it. Watched a few videos. So what I got is, depends on how busy it is you'll be making good amount of deliveries, your location of dashing, and don't take miles that are bigger than the dollars, like 9 miles for a $5 delivery for example.
Also seems like its good to be able to wear whatever you choose to wear, a shirt for your favorite band doubt that would be good attire in a cold weather though lol.
I've been doing it since October. $1 per mile is my standard, no orders under $5.25 regardless of how few miles, and no Wendy's period (all their lobbies are closed).
Be careful about "peak hours". Peak hours are hours during which Door Dash will usually pay $1, $2 or $3 more per order. The problem is in most cases they offer this because there aren't enough dashers on the road scheduled during these hours. There's a reason for this. It's because these hours are usually very slow.
Dinner is usually the highest paying. Lunch the second. And then if you're up early enough, don't skip out on breakfast hours, because that's when peak pay actually does pay out well. In my area it's usually 5 am - 9 am.
One last thing. Don't be afraid to decline bad orders. This is the number one mistake new dashers make. They think that if they decline too many orders, then DD will stop sending them good orders or even boot them off. Not true. We're independent contractors. You have the full freedom to decline orders you don't like. Taking a bunch of small orders will hurt you in the end. You can't make money that way, and no tip customers are usually the sort you don't want to deliver to anyway. My acceptance rate usually hovers between 30 - 40%.
They give you the top dasher to begin to encourage you to be a top dasher in the future
Great job explaining things on video! Getting ready to sign up , and take the plunge.. Do you have a referral link. I’m a senior and i like your style. Have you had a chance to compare uber eats vs doordash? Keep up the good work.
Hi. I don’t have a referral link, thanks for asking. In my area DD has always been busier. Good luck!
@@mitchabrams4082 u do have a referral code. It's in ur app after u click the button that says "invite friends" u might have to play with it to find it but once u refer people, u and them can make bonuses by reaching certain goals. Definitely take advantage. I appreciate this video. I literally JUST found your channel today. I have been dashing off and on in Vegas for over two years now and this video has inspired me to start doing door dash videos. Thank u and best of luck to u
I use my cars for business only, every mile they do is for my business, the standard federal tax deduction is now 62 cents per mile. very nice at tax time, wife is happy about it too.
Dasher backed into our neighbors Yukon last week and just drove off,lol.
On my first day of UE, I did not know how to run the app for all the steps. At that time, I could not find any help. Today, there is help for new folks.
I like when you walk in and watch them make 5 or 6 other orders while you wait including people that come in after you. Then tell you the order just came across after telling you they were almost done with it
Yikes
Yeah! That was my first order yesterday!! The other dasher informed me this place is slow slow all the time! Didn't start the order until I walked in!! 20 minutes, but still got food their on time, but that order may have cost me other orders. Good Dashing every one!!!
Can definitely say timing matters. You chose wisely with the shift. My first day I put in a no break 9 hour shift. I was only getting orders for about 5 of them (active time was 5 hours 20 minutes), so hourly I ended up making like 13 bucks. If you stick to 2-3 hours during the lunch and dinner rush you’ll save yourself tons of time (and gas sitting in parking lots)
Your area matters too I went today for lunch and got a few bad orders far and little money not even a dollar a mile then finally got one good order and by the time I was done my area wasn't busy anymore 🙃 so I only did one order it's frustrating
Turn off your vehicle, radio still works and you don’t waste gas, only there’s no AC
Yeah usuall 1pm-4pm Nada
@@vxpwrtrip4458 yeah all great in theory, but it was about 100 outside when I made that comment lol
All new Dashers now start out as “top dashers”.
Yeah because we’re that good
Here we go, 1 year 4 months into this doordash gig has been a trip! 5700 deliveries in a small little town called Hilo!! Contract violations, anyone says anything true if falsely violations! I do my best, I am the best and I go to sleep every night upset and not too happy! So many good
Incredible how much markets vary.
SC area doesn't pay nearly that much.
Even on a busy day, the best I've ever managed was just short of $70 in about 4 hrs.
They give you top dasher when you start with hope you'll continue to keep it and take those 3.50 orders for 10 miles.
Yeah, figured as much. Thanks!
Lolz you're funny.
Just cherry pick best orders for you. Top dasher is not beneficial. I only accept $2/ mile plus minimum. Never so orders under $6. You’ll learn.
Every new dasher gets top dasher benefits for the first 2 weeks.
First 30
@@t.m.g-kingeb9384 he's right it's 2 weeks
@@dolphindave1966 they gave me first 30
I didn't. I been doin it for about a month.
What are the benefits? I just did my first order
Enjoyed the video...what happened not dashing anymore? Don't see any new content
Your area pays way better than mine in Tempe Az.
That happened to me too
Great video Mitch. Noob question please. How do you input the destination data into Google maps? Do you copy and paste from the DoorDash app INTO Google Maps or are you simply manually typing in restaurant and destination info (using keyboard) or are you using voice recognition to input the address data into Google Maps? Thanks in advance!
I select google maps as the mapping option in the app and it automatically populates when I start the delivery.
@@mitchabrams4082 AHH! I did not know that was an option. I will try that. Thanks for the reply.
Lmao! I got the same message and was confused as well! Evidently it’s just the automatic message when anyone gets top dasher and it’s sent to new dashers to give incentive from the beginning to accept ALL orders to maintain it. Is my perspective on it.
Yep. DD could definitely make that a little easier to understand. Welcome to the channel!
Hey mitch, I just subscribed and just started my journey with dd. One question I have for you is do you have to wait in line when picking up an order or can you just sneak pass the line and let an employee know you are here for d.d.? Looking forward to watching your other videos thanksss
Hey Al. Nope, don't wait in line. Most restaurants I've been in have areas set up either at one end of the counter or a special designated area for DD or UberEats pickups. If they don't, just let the person at the register know you have a DD pickup and they will most likely track it down for you. They are doing so many orders they want us in and out of there!
some restaurants like chick fila also have a dedicated drive thru lane for mobile orders which include doordash
It really depends on the place. I kinda skip the line at certain places. If Im stuck in line I just communicate with my customers
Do u track miles from ur house or from the hot spot u sit at ? And if from ur house to hot spot I assume back to ur house again as well
Do you use the card for 2% cash back on gas?
Customer tips is what makes up the nice pay for gig work not base pay
Everton pay must be low if Rafa Benitez is having to Doordash.
today was my first day. and right now there is a challenge so a bonus $300 on payday for completing 10 deliveries before tomorrow night. i like it so far but its sooo hot in my city. im in the desert
Good luck with the bonus!
doordash starts you off as a top dasher until you work your way down lol
So I started a few weeks ago and I did hourly for a week. I didn’t want any trouble was just looking for a hundred bucks a day. Well I met another dasher and he said stop doing that. The next day I switched over to by the order and I made the same hundred in 3 hours that I was making in 7. Plus my mileage went from 200 a day to about 70.
Can you explain more please as I'm just getting started thanks
You know, I got the same message about that I did 100 deliveries last month or whatever it was. I didn't do 1!!!. It was my first day Friday the 2nd July. Your guess is as good as mine about that (?????)
My first order when i started was a stacked order from Dairy Queen and had to pay with the Red Card. I didn’t realize you had to pay separately for each order because I tried paying for both which declined, I was like wtf my luck so I called support actually a buddy who dashes he said call support so I did. Had to pay for one order then the next, long story short I took forever but that’s how I started lol! 😂😊
Yikes
What’s the red card? I haven’t experienced paying for an order yet and hope I don’t 🥴🤣
@@lisasantana6669 mostly CVS, Walgreens, dollar general. Not too many restaurants use them. It used to be more difficult. Less places are using them
That's the main thing I learned from the vids was to turn down all the 3 dollar nonsense. I won't deliver to someone if they can't even bring themselves to tip. I try to accept only orders that pay out roughly $1 per mile or more, otherwise the gas expense and time is just not worth it. Settled on $6 as my personal "minimum". For my area, that's something like $3 from base pay and $3 from tip.
Just started DD a week ago. Trying to figure things out. How is everything working out only excepting orders over $6
To be fair, it certainly isn’t $30/hr if you factor in gas/depreciation/and increased FICA vs traditional employment but it’s still pretty great for a side gig.
Full time would be much sketchier, as averages from less productive hours would bring down your earnings.
The best scenario seems to be traditional employment (ideally with access to benefits like medical/dental) with supplemental side income.
Can you direct me to the video where you spoke on mileage tracking?? Not sure if you used an app. I'm scanning your videos trying to find your input. Thank you!
Not sure which video it's in but I use the app called Stride. I used MileIQ for a while which works well also.
Out of curiosity if you signed up the day before, and this was your first dash, how do you already have a red bag for deliveries? My info said that one would be delivered to me after I completed a dash.
Hi. It’s not a Doordash bag. I bought it on Amazon.
That bling bling sound has come to trigger me. When I hear it, I'm totally ready.
Getting a new mustang v6 2005, for dashing but how long did it take for you to be approve for each apps? Im getting my license on thursday! Cant wait to work!
Hey Eddy. DoorDash was an instant approval. UberEats took a couple of days and I’m still on the waitlist for GrubHub.
@@mitchabrams4082 ok thank you also what if i have only have 1 ticket i heard i could still work... ?
Dunno. Hopefully it will be ok.
@@eddycervantea7882 Ow, personally I'd avoid mustangs to use for delivery. Not great mpg
I very rarely decline I will let the time run out and then I will take a crappy order if I have to and then I will just keep letting the time run out if you let the time run out on more than three orders in a row then you get dinged for acceptance.
So do you get dinged for declining is that what you are saying?
@micahandjoflo86 yes . Things are always changing with this app.
dont forget about the coast of gas
remeber to deduct gas.
The biggest order I have seen was for $30 but it was asking me to make a delivery 2 hours away so I declined it
I think they give new people the ability to dash anytime for a month
Yes they give them 2 weeks of top dasher status and flood the market with them so if theres 10 new drivers sitting around you then they get 1st pick on the orders. Nothing against the new people but about sick of door trash games
Being a Dasher who has been a new Dasher.You are definitely not a new Dasher.You have definitely done this before.You know all the terminology.You know what's good and what's bad?You've done this before
This was my first day. Any knowledge I had at this point was from watching others videos.
He is a good researcher before trying something new is what I got - No reason for him to come on here a lie about it!
Make sure you deposit at least 30% of your income for taxes at the end of the year
per check or the total you make 30 percent of that?
In canada tip must be $30.
Pizza orders are usually the biggest payout where I’m from
Go 49ers!!!!
Is there an actual SCHEDULE you have to follow with Doordash? I thought you Dash when you feel like it?
You can dash on the way or schedule a dash up to 4 hours
I did a few orders for uber eats a few months ago. They never paid me.
hoq long did it take to get approved on door dash from the time signed up until approved
My area was closed due to too many dashers in area, then this week they sent a code and after I entered code and gave all pertinent info, the background check took about 5 minutes LOL an hour later I did my first dash. But app was wonky and it kept telling me: Go to Panda Express even though I was there. Then they pulled that order from me and sent me somewhere else
i have been approved for uber eats just lately..Question: how to i get my money once i make deliveries? i think they use direct deposit... but not sure how to get that working... any idea? thanks..
Hi. When you go to the UberEats app there are settings re: getting paid. Go to the 'Wallet' section then 'Settings' and you'll see where you can link your bank accounts.
Let you know you can start dashing 15 min early
Thanks and nice bass.
but when you factor in wear and tear on your car, tires, price of gas rising, etc....is it worth it?
Yeah , you are right .. you need to be driving the right car .. cheap, dependable, gas saver etc
My understanding is that Doordash is now starting everyone out as a "Top Dasher"
Could you please provide the mileage for that particular day?
Unfortunately I didn't track it.
How much did u earn
how do you get the bag before your first delivery?
Hi Denise. I bought this on Amazon.
I made $14 with 2 completed orders and 1 cancelled which I got screwed out of on all around. Doordash sucks!
Any sign up bonus for new drivers I’m thinking about startn
I've seen sign up bonuses with UberEats. Best bet is to check the app before you sign up so you can take advantage of any bonuses.
They give out 3 deliveries $150 for 1st time drivers
When you can't wait, or beingvit to my door then ill order elsewhere
What software do you use to edit your videos?
iMovie
2st dash I made $17 for 2 deliveried @ 1 hr 38 mins. Map took me intp insane detours with no help. People had literally zero numbers on their housed. The people would not put on their porch light and had only 2 of the 4 numbers of their address. I’m walking like a slave house to house just trying to see the house numbers. I couldn’t see any icons or directions to call the person. It was hot as hell & the neighborhood was bogus. Then I was exhausted & had to go home. I was ready to have a nervous breakdown - all for $17. I will never dash after dark again. I’m sign up for instacart & UE and whoever else that will have me. What a disaster.
I don't deliver after dark for just that reason. No fun trying to hunt down house numbers at night. Good luck!
So did you see how much you made or what
Never ever leave your car running while dropping off food. Not worth. My son did that with my car a few months ago. Now I no longer have that car cuz a man stole it within a few seconds
Gotta use remote start!
