I've had riders asked if I had business cards because they wanted a reliable driver with a nice clean car. Even when I offer a ride cheaper than what Uber fleeces them with, sometimes riders refuse and want to go through the app. Then I cancel afterwards and have them find another driver, if they don't want to pay me cash or use Venmo. They rather pay Uber more and let the driver get 35-45% after Uber's service fees. I sometimes ask when rides are less than $6 or when they are going to the airport or baseball game.
Then why use the app? Ur not willing to do ur own marketing 💀. Ppl are mostly paying uber alot more because of safety. U cant b tracked if u do cash ride and thats a safety issue
It is unbelievable what Uber is doing. Many riders are unhappy and most drivers are unhappy. Lots of customers and drivers are looking for alternatives
It's the phone permission! I always turn off the phone permission after I call the passenger. Once you accept the app to use your phone to call the passenger, it allows the app to access your microphone. The microphone is required to call or accept calls. Always turn off uber & lyft application's permission to phone app.
I hope they are listening to me! The profanities I yell at both apps when they send me pigeon runs, is good feedback for them! I routinely tell them out loud to "do better" and "I am not accepting this garbage"! I use the future method with great success! I do the ride on the app and then convert them to future clients on my own platform. However, if you try to convert a ride (which I advise against) you have to cancel the trip if you pitch the passenger and they say no! Leave them standing at the curb waiting for the next driver! You can’t change your mind and take them anyway! This is the quickest way to get deactivated!
@amamdawhatever exactly and it works great especially offering for half the price of the apps...(I live in a small town and ppl are getting "butt raped" here, especially during frontier days going on right now. Charging 100 bucks for less than 3miles! It's complete bs what they are doing!🤬
If Uber's algorithm sees that a passenger cancelled a ride and then a bit later you go back online close to the passenger's supposed dropoff, that's a red flag. If this becomes a pattern you're screwed.
I dont know IOS but in Android, go to settings of the app and from Permissions turn off Locations Uber Driver and Uber Rider apps..They cant catch you..Even if u feel u have a good relationship with that cash rider,tell to them just turn off GPS...You can use Google Map,Waze or whatever
Always have two phones, go offline, turn off GPS, put it on airplane mode and do not go online after drop off...have Lyft on the other phone or other apps and keep working...
I see professor’s point. However since we are independent contractors there is absolutely no binding contract between a driver and Uber/lift. You can cancel a ride for any reason at any time.
I drove last night (Friday) In Phoenix. I noticed for the first time that I got a notification on 2 of the rides saying something like " The passenger may record this ride for safety" or something like that. The passenger didn't say anything to me about recording. I believe this message popped up after the passenger was in the car and I swiped to start the trip. I did think that I don't remember seeing this pop up on my phone before. So that might be how they listen in. By hijacking your phone.
You have to let the pax know that they are giving you money for the pizza but NOT for the ride from the beginning as a token of friendship appreciation. So you take the cash upfront for the pizza BEFORE the ride happens, that's for your pizza isn't it. Since you become his friend that day, you're giving them a help to drive them to their destination (acting as their new friends) out of your good heart in the mid of your busy schedule, and you even will drive them to extra destination free as long as it's a reasonable distance. Payment for the ride is AFTER the pax arrived at the destination, just like you pay the taxi cab. Payment for your pizza is a gift you get before you drive them to their destination.
Cash rides has been a game breaker for me. Off grid... Your car your friends your driving to work.. your right to freedom. That scary we have to get permission to drive someone in our car. This is why we thank veterans. Tech industry thinks they are God
Some drivers are stupid. They know this kind of behavior because they track both GPS(driver and rider). If the driver accepts a trip when he/she arrives to pick spot and a cancellation occurs if they check both GPS and the tracking information is the same from rider and driver they infer driver took their passenger out of the platform. If someone want do that you and the riders have to close completely the Uber or Lyft app and the rider turns off their gps.
Your method requires money to set up. And often people start with a $1700 per month Uber partnered car rental. It's not possible to make your payments doing Uber without first converting to cash trips. Your way works for the future rides. But not those first 6 months
Incorrect. My method is solid and sold over 5,000 times to date. In the first six months you are doing about 95% Uber and Lyft, 5% private. After two years you are on about 50% Uber and Lyft, 50% private. You are starting off incorrectly and not getting forward, plus if you aggressively convert riders to cash , not playing it safe, you can kiss your Uber and Lyft accounts goodbye and you are done. I would not bet five cents on your formula
@@AskTorsten Hmmmm. I mean I agree with you. It's just only if you can pay the bills. I couldn't. Not without aggressively converting to cash rides. But I didn't have my own car. I had the Uber partner rental that made it impractical. I'll try it again your way. But I need to work another job and buy my own car first
If they record your conversation while driving a passenger for "security" purposes, I wouldn't doubt they're being nosey, given the fact they already have access to those recordings...
You should make a video educating riders that by making complaints could led to drivers loss. There could be driver's who depend on rideshare for there Daily living and have no other options to earn. Families of rideshare are dependent on what drivers are earning. And sudden deactivation or suspension could devastate whole family. Could stop everyday food/expenses coming to table.
If you do not have a tcp license with commercial insurance at minimum. what you are doing is completely illegal. If you ever get in a serious accident with an off book passenger without commercial insurance or a tcp license and the passenger was injured in any way you will get civilly sued, possibly prosecuted by the state for operating an illegal business, and your drivers license suspended or revoked.
I use square on all of my future rides! In fact I mounted my Square reader to the back of the front passenger seat. Keep in mind, I have an LLC, city permits and commercial insurance. This allows corporate clients to expense my rides which is VERY important for them!
Just checked my permissions again. Had mic,phone everything on. I remember turning them all off. Thinking now after every update may have to turn them all off. They invade my privacy enough!
did he just try to invent a new law? just like that uber email he mentioned? drivers are not breaking any laws before the pick up acceptance button is pressed by the driver. last year i woulf have believed this video and even considered buying his course but im more educated now. i see thru the BS
I like Jeff and I know the passenger conversion method is his way but that way is highly unsustainable and you'll more than likely be deactivated before u build up enough private rides.
Uber broke the contract where they turn it around the 25% Uber and 75% driver , I don’t give a crap about Uber contract anymore
Exactly. Breach of TOS
1000% correct!!!!!!

Happened to me today

@@ange6501Wasn't much of a safety issue with cabs picking up riders via people calling the cab company before Uber came along. What changed?
It is unbelievable what Uber is doing. Many riders are unhappy and most drivers are unhappy. Lots of customers and drivers are looking for alternatives
Invasion of privacy depending on the state could result in a lawsuit
Driver's offer cash discounts out of desperation not because they want to.

Put some effort into out thinking Uber to not fit a pattern.
You don't go online at their dropoff location. 🎉

😂😂😂 exactly, ever heard of airplane mode@andrewb3830
Always have two phones, go offline, turn off GPS, put it on airplane mode and do not go online after drop off...have Lyft on the other phone or other apps and keep working...

In my days it was giving a friend a ride to work for gas money
You should convert all long rides to CASH if you want to make any money.
dont get into a accident
Only long rides or you'll get banned by Uber
I drove last night (Friday) In Phoenix. I noticed for the first time that I got a notification on 2 of the rides saying something like " The passenger may record this ride for safety" or something like that.

That's a normal message for the passengers who have that set up before 😊

Yea I don’t do cash rides at least not until I have my commercial insurance a my badges for the city I work in
smart move
Same here
Rider doesn’t care about commercial insurance
New android features shows if your microphone is in use, and if Uber is not supposed to be on,
You can take screenshots and sue uber
Where do I see that
I had the same feelings that’s they are lessons to us when you are using the app.
The main mistake in the example above was still taking the ride. If they don’t want to convert you give them the boot and cancel it.
Great video professor sharing your wisdom with us.
Cash rides has been a game breaker for me. Off grid... Your car your friends your driving to work.. your right to freedom. That scary we have to get permission to drive someone in our car. This is why we thank veterans. Tech industry thinks they are God

If someone want do that you and the riders have to close completely the Uber or Lyft app and the rider turns off their gps.
It’s dangerous to do cash rides without proper licensing or insurance
I don't think they heard you...
Ridesharing is dangerous period. However, we take the risk.
Great video professor 👍

uber does not let you on in my market with commercial plates so how can you do privates with reg-ins?
Yes they do. They did that to me. Very disrespectful.
How do I get the class in Vegas ? Do you have a class that via zoom ? Do you help with paperwork / insurance in Vegas ?
You can turn off the mic for every app in your phone.
The rider probably snitched to Uber
If they record your conversation while driving a passenger for "security" purposes, I wouldn't doubt they're being nosey, given the fact they already have access to those recordings...
I got out of all the groups

After you get your business card out there, is it OK to use square tap n pays along with cash?
If you do not have a tcp license with commercial insurance at minimum. what you are doing is completely illegal. If you ever get in a serious accident with an off book passenger without commercial insurance or a tcp license and the passenger was injured in any way you will get civilly sued, possibly prosecuted by the state for operating an illegal business, and your drivers license suspended or revoked.
I use square on all of my future rides! In fact I mounted my Square reader to the back of the front passenger seat. Keep in mind, I have an LLC, city permits and commercial insurance. This allows corporate clients to expense my rides which is VERY important for them!
Of course, business travelers prefer this method for email receipt for reimbursement ❤
Just checked my permissions again.
Had mic,phone everything on.
I remember turning them all off.
Thinking now after every update may have to turn them all off.
They invade my privacy enough!
@@bigsmk9168 I forgot to mention I have insurance through my own carrier, but thank you for the heads up.😊
screw uber
Uber and Lyft can fall. We steal their customers 😂. The Insurance is bogus anyways. Just driving your friends to work
Turn off the cellphone ,used other
Invasion of privacy if they are listening in though.
did he just try to invent a new law? just like that uber email he mentioned? drivers are not breaking any laws before the pick up acceptance button is pressed by the driver.
last year i woulf have believed this video and even considered buying his course but im more educated now. i see thru the BS
😅
Someone create another app that will pay 90%? This Uber shi of paying drivers 40% is pathetic.
Uber black can do this all the time they been doing this for mamy years nothing new
Black requires an LLC, permits, commercial license plates and insurance. Their own Black requirements contradict the "terms of service".
I like Jeff and I know the passenger conversion method is his way but that way is highly unsustainable and you'll more than likely be deactivated before u build up enough private rides.
it takes years to build up a sustainable, consistent client base with or without conversions.
