⚡️Combining batched bonus strategies and per delivery bonus strategies earned me nearly $800 in just 20 hours of driving (almost $40/hr). Following these tips you can easily hit $1,000 a week depending on your market. A good follow up video on mistakes to avoid can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/AfWRTsMJWxg/v-deo.html
Doing a great job with these videos Mike. Long Island and Queens NY everyday all day you're making $25-40 an hour. I'd like to see you do a 4-10pm shift in PA using both Door Dash and Uber Eats and just taking the best orders with the highest bonus and payout
not sure if anyone cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of days xD
I quit my bullshit warehouse job making less than $100 a day. My weekly check was about $460 for 40hrs. I quit to do doordash uber eats and grubhub and I'm making about 1k to 1200 in 40hrs or less. Best decision I made was to quit that dead end job. Stuck in a warehouse for 8.5 10 hours straight, when I callout it's always a big deal. These food delivery jobs are changing the game.

Watching sipping on Chamomile tea with ginger root. 😌☕️ Thank you for your value. I watched your $3500 a week video last night. Took the advice of $2.00/mile made $131 in about 4.5 hours tonight.
Worked 5 days so far this week (one day of the week to go) for Uber eats, totaling just under 22 hours online. Earnings for those 5 days after tips is $778. Since starting I’ve been doing about $30-$35 an hour after tips.
In my area, the best way to earn this is to work full days on fridays-sundays, and complete at least 20-25 deliveries on Mondays-Thursdays. Fridays-Sundays are always the best pay per delivery days.
Three rules 1 dont take under $5 2 double your milage, as in 5 miles = $10 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

Your Driver Mike. Wow. Nearly $800 with just 20 hours of driving? You are a "beast" and you are killing this. Thank you for the tips. This was a great video. Thanks Mike. : )
I definitely got value in your being honest, mental and emotional fatigue is real! I have learned it’s best to rest your mind and not push yourself, you could end up in an accident if you’re not thinking clearly. I too have driven from Indians to NJ in one day...many times and mentally it’s exhausting! Thanks for sharing about your bank account. I had to start this work because I lost my job last year, 2020, then the new job is less pay, less hours...I work my regular bookkeeping job 2 days a week, and I do deliveries 4 days a week. I would do more hours but I have a son in school virtually so the flexibility and money is really helping my family! Thanks Mike, and Matt, you’re making a difference!!!
I was making at minimum $100 a night working 5-10 between January and April. I can do 150-200 regularly as well. Now I am barely getting any orders on a typical week day.
I appreciate the information here, I do. Essentially, I’m already doing everything recommended here. I’ve been driving for two years. Digging into analytics in terms of gross pay, net pay, tips etc. is all well and fine, but the elephant in the room is the CAR and gas prices. 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🙄
I randomly stumbled across your videos. I really appreciate the time you are taking to share these tips. I also am impressed by how professional you are in your videos. You are very polite, well spoken, smooth, and you share really good info. I appreciate you. I havent finished the vid yet, but I will be back. I just got an order. Thank you, Sir.
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.
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.
@@aricblackwelder8491 Cold starts are worse, but starting a warm engine still requires the fuel pump to prime, a starter and flywheel. It also takes a few rpms for the oil pump to supply oil to the entire engine. I'll pay the premium at the pump to let my car idle on short stops.
Why do people turn they're car off for a delivery pick-up. That alone sounds nuts .lol . I'm guessing the areas in whichvyou guys are driving around in aren't that safe , understandable , But you still have the option in haveing two keys. One on you were u can lock while the car is on , and the actual key thats inside the ignition.
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.
Thanks for dropping so many gems while being both relatable and transparent. You're helping to build a community of successful rideshare drivers. Just wanted to show some love. I'm definitely subscribing and sharing this info with friends. Be blessed dude!
I hit 1070 in week 2 and 1040 in week 5. Just over 35 hrs for week 5. Just over 40 hrs in week 2. No less than 800 in weeks 3 and 4. Week 1 was 770 in 4 days. Gotta decline the smaller orders and gotta decline anything less than $1.50/mile. You're gonna kill your vehicle otherwise for less gain.
Man, really appreciate the down to Earth info. You get to the point and talk about maximizing income and balancing that around your life. I will definitely be putting this valuable information to work.
@@luisasantiago6912 I don’t drive, I use an E-bike. I deliver between 68th street an Wall Street in Manhattan. This market place believes in tipping. Not so much up town
This makes me looks so trash. UberEats in PR the only pay from 1-3 bucks per delivery😟. The app does not even show you earnings when request appear in your screen before accepting. It only shows the time in minutes of how far away its. And if you declined a request they will take you out circulation and you won't get request for hours and hours even though you are online in surge area or very Hi demanding area they do that to punish you, is sad they really take advantange of drivers here in Puerto Rico.
I haven't been getting quests and not sure why. But last week drove a little over 16 hrs making $457. Probably one of the better weeks I've had but I've learned alot since starting at the end of October 2020.
If you sign up and don't drive at all for like 2 months they'll offer you a significant bonus. I got 300 dollars for completing 15 deliveries over a weekend!
Yes you can make 1000 that said what’s your fuel cost and vehicle maintenance costs. Also the mileage you put on your vehicle in just one year is crazy. You will find yourself going thru vehicles.
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
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.
I feel lucky I live in a smallish to medium sized college town when compared to a lot of other college towns. I tend to pound out 5 or 6 orders an hour mainly because of efficient pick up at locations, and everything being mostly compacted into certain areas.
$/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'm new to this I enjoy it on my spare time off. I have a full time job as a trucker. Been in my career for over 28 years. Im used to seeing this btwn trucking company and big major company. If you do your job and keep a good attitude and kill your customer or merchant with kindness you will go far. You will always have other companies try to offer you a better opportunity. Me I enjoy working with people.
The $9-$11 an hour mark could be after drivers are taking in consideration gas n miles(wear and tear)then subtracting that number from the total earnings. Plus gas has reached $3.50 on east coast and I hear over $5 a gallon in California…
This video could have been easily 10-15mins MAX. He’s just adding fluff like “taking a sip of my coffee, saying hi to anyone who comes in, talking slow, long breaks between each sentence…” Bruh just say it and go through it straight to the point. You’re making it more complicated than it actually is
I'm actually glad that uber acquired postmates. working solely for postmates was terrible. sometimes you had to order for the customers and then sit there waiting, people just didn't tip as much, and the general cost of orders and fares were lower. with uber eats I now get uber and postmates orders through one app, and my tip rate is near 100%.
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 UA-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 $20 an hour you have to remind yourself that the flexibility in the freedom is just as important if it means you get the flexibility and the freedom to work on other projects, side, hustles or businesses that will make you money in the long term . For those of y’all that are hustling your own business while you’re doing gig work like Mike (and me) … Keep doing what you’re doing, keep hustling, keep up your motivation, because there is nothing better right now than to be your own business in this economy right now . Obviously real estate is not doing well right now I have a lot of friends that are struggling in the mortgage business but I have been trying to grow other online e-commerce businesses since January 2021, because I know that there is no job security anymore In fact, I am afraid of taking a full-time job that’s going to keep me from working on these other passion projects .
im a pro ... i exclusively work door dash in the central Seattle area and make 20-30$ an hour regulary start at 10 work till 6 or 7 ...easy 1000 or more a week if you drive everyday most ive ever made was 1400$. deduct about 15 percent for gas ...also consider i traded 40k miles on my car for a year and a half of driving. Ive replaced brakes 3 times...also had several small parking tickets or small accidents. Its tough and cut throat in my market. People park were ever and you have to break the law at least 15 times a day. To bang it out you got hustle in this city.
Been dashing for a week now and implementing your tips little by little. I see really good earning potential in the Denver metro which makes for a great side hustle out of this. Thanks for everything you’re teaching mike it’s really good stuff!
I've been doordashing for months and I have never once seen a challenge. Please lmk how I can get these. I also have not gotten stacked orders more than 2 orders. Any insights???
Hey Mike. Found you cause of watching Pedro. Totally n. Completely love n appreciate all of ur info thank you so much. I work Long Island NY n upstate NY
Simple mathematics imo even in smaller cities you can still make around 20/hr at 5 hrs a day that's 700 a week easy so a 1000 a week can mos def be done
Lovin the food delivery business. For the 1st time ever, I’m able to buy myself the nicest car I’ve ever had. In my area however the best I’ve been able to achieve is $100-$140 in 15 deliveries. 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.
Hello, I like your videos I'm new to uber, I started 2 months ago with uber food deliveries, but I noticed in California you get more expensive order than I get in Florida, Orlando...I never got for 2 months any order over over $ 11 most of them under $10...for $100 I have drive all day. And my gas waste is $30
I did $12,000 in 33 days and did $59,143 in 8 months. It can be done. Its really easy when your just starting out because they throw you the good batches for the first 30-90 days and then afterwards youre competing. So now i run instacart, shipt, uber eats, corner shop, roadie and go puff...
I wish there were a way to post screen shots here.. I pulled $1511 for 31 hours 2 weeks ago, between Door Dash and Uber Eats. Let me know if there is some place I can send you the screen. I do $1200 weekly like clock work working 6 days per week. Im in North Phoenix.
I have a 9-5 job Monday through Friday. However, I just recently started doing UE the only time I’m able to do it during the week is 6pm-12pm at the most. Do you have any recommendations or pointers if I do it that late.
It also depends on how good your vehicle truly is. Right now i do uber eats and im using subaru wrx sti and its a gas killer. Im hoping to get my 93 civic coupe fixed up in order to make alot more money with that than my sti since i love that car like i love my civic also!
Minimum wage in LA is $20 an hour we get according to proposition 22 120% over minimum wage so if you’re driving in LA or Almonte you gonna get is $20 an hour
last summer I was making $1500 a month working about 3 hours a day/5 days a week I am no longer making that....I have been wondering why!! I work 7:30-4 on a regular job
How’s traffic over there? I try to start my day near international drive in Orlando where the wheel is but DAMN the traffic can really set you back sometimes!!
Uber Eats got me about $1500 a week, driving 12 hour days. I don't recommend this. Highly stressful. Bad drivers, awkward pickups/deliveries, gate/building key codes, bags of food and drink trays. Still, it kept a roof over my head during the winter instead of the alternative - living in my car.
Wow! Really enjoying your video very knowledgeable and you're not boring you're speaking from Real experience! Can you talk about how this is a good thing for drivers to deliver food Since the Pandemic has happened even though their are restaurants still closings
The only time I’ve looked to see where a driver is, is when they are taking too long…. This is very interesting to think people are stalking their drivers 🤣
Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 Can you come to Las Vegas and Make a Video 📹 🙏. I want you to come and see what is going on here with this food deliveries. The Price, Miles and the stress it takes to complete a delivery. I bet you won't make $800 a Week.. Come do a Video in Las Vegas
I am sipping onu homemade lemonade now. In fact I am in this side hustle to raise money to finish my own truck by January. I need to make 6K between now and January wish me luck y'all
Market here sucks but I can still manage to hit $200 per day (usually a little more) within 12 hours. Though, I don't just run a single app at once. I turn them all on and whoever sends me the best order first is the one i accept and I do this pretty much all day.
I drove DoorDash today for 6 hours and earned $50.91. This is without discounting gas, wear and tear on my car. I would make more flipping burgers at Wendy's they pay $10.00 an hour and no wear and tear or gas.
I'm having a hard time figuring out the app. I hit dash and see the pick-ups but I don't see where it goes. Then yesterday the app disappeared while I was on my way to deliver. I called for help, got someone overseas that I couldn't really understand. I finally got her to get me the customer's address. All the time I'm going towards the place because it is on the GPS, (all the time I'm driving and it's dark) Then someone who spoke English called me back and I found the house and delivered the food, all before the deadline, but I got an uncompleted on my profile. But it was completed. I haven't had any training. I just got the app and started dashing.
I get $8/900 per week..... stay in my area.. close to my hotspot.. ( where I live, easy to drive and middle/upper class ppl) Always text customer “ hey how you doin? I’m in the restaurant waiting for your food... I’ll be as quick as I can 🙂” I’ve had so many tips after the drop off! Park where the best restaurants are.... don’t be afraid to say NO when u get a $5 offer for 6 miles..... a better one will come. Good luck... and may the odds be ever in your favor!
This reminds me of the bulletin board I saw about selling your house in a week. Yeah when the housing market is doing great you can But try that now Nope Same with delivery Use to get 30 plus an hour every day no matter when. Now I struggle to get 15 Yeahhhhh It’s totally different now And I use all kinds of strategies I was crushing 1k in sometimes 25 hours. No where even close now I’m lucky if I get 750 in 40 hours now

Worked 5 days so far this week (one day of the week to go) for Uber eats, totaling just under 22 hours online. Earnings for those 5 days after tips is $778. Since starting I’ve been doing about $30-$35 an hour after tips.
In my area, the best way to earn this is to work full days on fridays-sundays, and complete at least 20-25 deliveries on Mondays-Thursdays. Fridays-Sundays are always the best pay per delivery days.
Thanks I'm going to try this what time do you usually start the day
Are you in AZ by chance?
Three rules
1 dont take under $5
2 double your milage, as in 5 miles = $10
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 appreciate the information here, I do. Essentially, I’m already doing everything recommended here. I’ve been driving for two years. Digging into analytics in terms of gross pay, net pay, tips etc. is all well and fine, but the elephant in the room is the CAR and gas prices. 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🙄
I randomly stumbled across your videos. I really appreciate the time you are taking to share these tips. I also am impressed by how professional you are in your videos. You are very polite, well spoken, smooth, and you share really good info. I appreciate you. I havent finished the vid yet, but I will be back. I just got an order. Thank you, Sir.
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.
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.
@@aricblackwelder8491 Cold starts are worse, but starting a warm engine still requires the fuel pump to prime, a starter and flywheel. It also takes a few rpms for the oil pump to supply oil to the entire engine. I'll pay the premium at the pump to let my car idle on short stops.
You don't have to turn your car off lol
@@SAMEntalhealth I don’t lol
Why do people turn they're car off for a delivery pick-up. That alone sounds nuts .lol . I'm guessing the areas in whichvyou guys are driving around in aren't that safe , understandable , But you still have the option in haveing two keys. One on you were u can lock while the car is on , and the actual key thats inside the ignition.
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.
Thanks for dropping so many gems while being both relatable and transparent. You're helping to build a community of successful rideshare drivers. Just wanted to show some love. I'm definitely subscribing and sharing this info with friends. Be blessed dude!
I hit 1070 in week 2 and 1040 in week 5. Just over 35 hrs for week 5. Just over 40 hrs in week 2. No less than 800 in weeks 3 and 4. Week 1 was 770 in 4 days. Gotta decline the smaller orders and gotta decline anything less than $1.50/mile. You're gonna kill your vehicle otherwise for less gain.
Very true I hit $1000 to 1200 a week from 37hrs to 46hrs
Man, really appreciate the down to Earth info. You get to the point and talk about maximizing income and balancing that around your life. I will definitely be putting this valuable information to work.
NYC is a great place to do Uber eats. I easily can make 1,200 in five days.
Same!!! And I'm on long island
Wonderful!
What places you're driving around?
@@luisasantiago6912 I don’t drive, I use an E-bike. I deliver between 68th street an Wall Street in Manhattan. This market place believes in tipping. Not so much up town
@@bqbm Thanks for the advice 👍
I work about 40-50 hours and make 1200-1400 per week. Not too shabby
This makes me looks so trash.
UberEats in PR the only pay from 1-3 bucks per delivery😟. The app does not even show you earnings when request appear in your screen before accepting. It only shows the time in minutes of how far away its.
And if you declined a request they will take you out circulation and you won't get request for hours and hours even though you are online in surge area or very Hi demanding area they do that to punish you, is sad they really take advantange of drivers here in Puerto Rico.
I have been doing doordash in my area cuz uber is slow right now n been working around 35 a week 1000 a week 3 week in a row
I haven't been getting quests and not sure why. But last week drove a little over 16 hrs making $457. Probably one of the better weeks I've had but I've learned alot since starting at the end of October 2020.
Definitely depends on market area and selection while accepting orders. In Austin,Tx I receive $45 per hr with a low of $30 per hour working 8am to1pm
Me too!
All season?
If you sign up and don't drive at all for like 2 months they'll offer you a significant bonus. I got 300 dollars for completing 15 deliveries over a weekend!
Yes you can make 1000 that said what’s your fuel cost and vehicle maintenance costs. Also the mileage you put on your vehicle in just one year is crazy. You will find yourself going thru vehicles.
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
I usually clear 100-125 a day for 4 hours out here in denver colorado. Promotions and surges help out so much, thank for your advice!
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.
Thank you🎉
I got tipped $15 for a big order for literally being so quick and easy and got complimented a good communication. And
I feel lucky I live in a smallish to medium sized college town when compared to a lot of other college towns. I tend to pound out 5 or 6 orders an hour mainly because of efficient pick up at locations, and everything being mostly compacted into certain areas.
$/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’d love to see a breakdown of the expenses like gas and also taxes to see if it’s worth it . Specially taxes that self employed pays crazy amounts .
I'm new to this I enjoy it on my spare time off. I have a full time job as a trucker. Been in my career for over 28 years. Im used to seeing this btwn trucking company and big major company. If you do your job and keep a good attitude and kill your customer or merchant with kindness you will go far. You will always have other companies try to offer you a better opportunity. Me I enjoy working with people.
i make about 200 a day dashing . i set that as my daily goal
The $9-$11 an hour mark could be after drivers are taking in consideration gas n miles(wear and tear)then subtracting that number from the total earnings. Plus gas has reached $3.50 on east coast and I hear over $5 a gallon in California…
Now we're at 5 a gallon on the east i can only imagine the west
This video could have been easily 10-15mins MAX. He’s just adding fluff like “taking a sip of my coffee, saying hi to anyone who comes in, talking slow, long breaks between each sentence…”
Bruh just say it and go through it straight to the point. You’re making it more complicated than it actually is
Great content! I had 100% tips this last Friday & Saturday by working on my communication and using one app. My tips dropped Sunday by multi apping.
I'm actually glad that uber acquired postmates. working solely for postmates was terrible. sometimes you had to order for the customers and then sit there waiting, people just didn't tip as much, and the general cost of orders and fares were lower. with uber eats I now get uber and postmates orders through one app, and my tip rate is near 100%.
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 UA-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 $20 an hour you have to remind yourself that the flexibility in the freedom is just as important if it means you get the flexibility and the freedom to work on other projects, side, hustles or businesses that will make you money in the long term .
For those of y’all that are hustling your own business while you’re doing gig work like Mike (and me) …
Keep doing what you’re doing, keep hustling, keep up your motivation, because there is nothing better right now than to be your own business in this economy right now .
Obviously real estate is not doing well right now I have a lot of friends that are struggling in the mortgage business but I have been trying to grow other online e-commerce businesses since January 2021, because I know that there is no job security anymore
In fact, I am afraid of taking a full-time job that’s going to keep me from working on these other passion projects .
Mike, Thank you! This is so helpful and i dont think I'd be doing nearly as well with these side gigs without you.
im a pro ... i exclusively work door dash in the central Seattle area and make 20-30$ an hour regulary start at 10 work till 6 or 7 ...easy 1000 or more a week if you drive everyday most ive ever made was 1400$. deduct about 15 percent for gas ...also consider i traded 40k miles on my car for a year and a half of driving. Ive replaced brakes 3 times...also had several small parking tickets or small accidents. Its tough and cut throat in my market. People park were ever and you have to break the law at least 15 times a day. To bang it out you got hustle in this city.
Been dashing for a week now and implementing your tips little by little. I see really good earning potential in the Denver metro which makes for a great side hustle out of this. Thanks for everything you’re teaching mike it’s really good stuff!
1 month ago I made $1916 but after that, market is dead. It’s has been a month I literally make nothinng. I m serious.. i am just at home for 4 weeks.
I dash in MN Roseville and have to dash at least 40hrs a week to earn roughly 1200-1300.
Do you stay in Roseville or sometimes go to Minneapolis and St Paul?
I've been doordashing for months and I have never once seen a challenge. Please lmk how I can get these. I also have not gotten stacked orders more than 2 orders. Any insights???
Hey Mike. Found you cause of watching Pedro. Totally n. Completely love n appreciate all of ur info thank you so much. I work Long Island NY n upstate NY
Simple mathematics imo even in smaller cities you can still make around 20/hr at 5 hrs a day that's 700 a week easy so a 1000 a week can mos def be done
Started last week Oct 17th 2022 doing okay, studying the market to max the best method
After taking out depreciation on the car ,fuel costs and taxes payable it might not turn out to be much.
This guy has the most underrated views and subscribers, than you for all the tip and advises.👍
Lovin the food delivery business. For the 1st time ever, I’m able to buy myself the nicest car I’ve ever had. In my area however the best I’ve been able to achieve is $100-$140 in 15 deliveries. 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.
I make twice that with Lyft due to high demand and a driver shortage!
Hello, I like your videos I'm new to uber, I started 2 months ago with uber food deliveries, but I noticed in California you get more expensive order than I get in Florida, Orlando...I never got for 2 months any order over over $ 11 most of them under $10...for $100 I have drive all day. And my gas waste is $30
Great video, tysm for the value and tips! I'm going to start Dashing this weekend!
Do you have a video on taxes how to claim taxes do you take money out every week and put it in a separate account?
I made plus 5k last month.. it’s possible
I drive for Uber in San Antonio Texas. People don't tip like they used too. The days of a pickup from Hooters and a 50 dollar tip are long gone.
In Nashville I average 20-30 per hour. Sundays are always at least $300
I did $12,000 in 33 days and did $59,143 in 8 months. It can be done. Its really easy when your just starting out because they throw you the good batches for the first 30-90 days and then afterwards youre competing. So now i run instacart, shipt, uber eats, corner shop, roadie and go puff...
you're telling me you made over $1800/wk on dd?
In the outer boroughs of NYC the average is about $25 an hour. I watch your videos for motivation when I get lazy.
I wish there were a way to post screen shots here.. I pulled $1511 for 31 hours 2 weeks ago, between Door Dash and Uber Eats. Let me know if there is some place I can send you the screen. I do $1200 weekly like clock work working 6 days per week. Im in North Phoenix.
I have a 9-5 job Monday through Friday. However, I just recently started doing UE the only time I’m able to do it during the week is 6pm-12pm at the most. Do you have any recommendations or pointers if I do it that late.
Great information. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
It also depends on how good your vehicle truly is. Right now i do uber eats and im using subaru wrx sti and its a gas killer. Im hoping to get my 93 civic coupe fixed up in order to make alot more money with that than my sti since i love that car like i love my civic also!
Minimum wage in LA is $20 an hour we get according to proposition 22 120% over minimum wage so if you’re driving in LA or Almonte you gonna get is $20 an hour
Mike... YOU'RE mesmorizing to watch and listen too. Great communication skills. Thank you.
I see how much I can make my first hour and then I base the rest of the hours on that , I make 20 to 30 an hour ! I love your vids
I am going to have to play this several times to absorb the information. Right now I am at the "What you talkin' bout Willis, " stage. :-)
Thanks, Mike for your free training. It helps for the grind of some of us who are new in the business. Great work.
Super helpful information brother! Thank you and will continue to watch more of your great videos
Welcome to VIP status Michael. I appreciate that 👊🏻
You can't tell if they tip though with doordash you see it only when the drop off is done confirming it
last summer I was making $1500 a month working about 3 hours a day/5 days a week I am no longer making that....I have been wondering why!! I work 7:30-4 on a regular job
Here in tampa i make around $20 $20+ so i end up with $1000 every week
How’s traffic over there? I try to start my day near international drive in Orlando where the wheel is but DAMN the traffic can really set you back sometimes!!
Uber Eats got me about $1500 a week, driving 12 hour days. I don't recommend this. Highly stressful. Bad drivers, awkward pickups/deliveries, gate/building key codes, bags of food and drink trays. Still, it kept a roof over my head during the winter instead of the alternative - living in my car.
I think you’re very interesting! I’m on Long Island much different than urban market. 👍🏻 love the videos!
I dig alot of what your saying ive applied it and been doing good so far
Great videos. Your teaching me a lot
Wow! Really enjoying your video very knowledgeable and you're not boring you're speaking from Real experience! Can you talk about how this is a good thing for drivers to deliver food Since the Pandemic has happened even though their are restaurants still closings
Hit 4119 deliveries since July 2020
I respect the hustle Victor
I usually make $750 per week on 4-5hrs a day for 5 days. I could probably make the 1k if I worked weekends.
I appreciate the time you spent on this video!
Since we don’t get maps of pickups and drop offs we have no idea where we’re leaving our power strip to go to
The only time I’ve looked to see where a driver is, is when they are taking too long…. This is very interesting to think people are stalking their drivers 🤣
Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 Can you come to Las Vegas and Make a Video 📹 🙏. I want you to come and see what is going on here with this food deliveries. The Price, Miles and the stress it takes to complete a delivery. I bet you won't make $800 a Week.. Come do a Video in Las Vegas
Bravo! Continue to do you! Thank you for your videos!! 🎉😊
I am sipping onu homemade lemonade now. In fact I am in this side hustle to raise money to finish my own truck by January. I need to make 6K between now and January wish me luck y'all
Market here sucks but I can still manage to hit $200 per day (usually a little more) within 12 hours. Though, I don't just run a single app at once. I turn them all on and whoever sends me the best order first is the one i accept and I do this pretty much all day.
Postmates didnt pay much so that's why I do doordash
I drove DoorDash today for 6 hours and earned $50.91. This is without discounting gas, wear and tear on my car. I would make more flipping burgers at Wendy's they pay $10.00 an hour and no wear and tear or gas.
What area do you drive in?
Try uber eats
hes probably in the middle of no where
Ngl...I just start this video but the gas prices are killing me so I don't know if these strategies would work but I'm gonna try...
Ppl earnings all depends on what state they are in...which will depends on how busy you will be
I'm having a hard time figuring out the app. I hit dash and see the pick-ups but I don't see where it goes. Then yesterday the app disappeared while I was on my way to deliver. I called for help, got someone overseas that I couldn't really understand. I finally got her to get me the customer's address. All the time I'm going towards the place because it is on the GPS, (all the time I'm driving and it's dark) Then someone who spoke English called me back and I found the house and delivered the food, all before the deadline, but I got an uncompleted on my profile. But it was completed. I haven't had any training. I just got the app and started dashing.
I get $8/900 per week.....
stay in my area.. close to my hotspot.. ( where I live, easy to drive and middle/upper class ppl)
Always text customer “ hey how you doin? I’m in the restaurant waiting for your food... I’ll be as quick as I can 🙂”
I’ve had so many tips after the drop off!
Park where the best restaurants are.... don’t be afraid to say NO when u get a $5 offer for 6 miles..... a better one will come.
Good luck... and may the odds be ever in your favor!
This reminds me of the bulletin board I saw about selling your house in a week. Yeah when the housing market is doing great you can But try that now Nope Same with delivery Use to get 30 plus an hour every day no matter when. Now I struggle to get 15 Yeahhhhh It’s totally different now And I use all kinds of strategies I was crushing 1k in sometimes 25 hours. No where even close now I’m lucky if I get 750 in 40 hours now
thanks a lot for this im getting ready to start on Uber Eats these are great videos thank you very much Mike!
Uber Quest in Houston is avg $40 per 40 trips. Also, tips have dropped since gas hike.
Yea depending on the state
