    Ok some perspective from the customer point of view. First of all, THANK YOU TO ALL MY DELIVERY DRIVERS ❤. I am a senior who no longer drives and grocery delivery is a life saver for me. I always tip well and extra if water or soda is in my delivery. I do live in an apartment with an elevator, but I know how heavy the groceries are. So bless all my delivery drivers, I wish they paid more, you’re definitely worth it.

      @@mollywoolsey7677 bless you! It really does make a difference when people show appreciation. My Son does delivery work as his main income sourse. The rest of us in the family are either retired or have full time jobs and do delivery to make extra money to play on because of the high cost of living these days. Yesterday I got a text from my son, a customer tipped him over 20.00. He was so happy and appreciative. He was choked up a bit over it. It is very hot where we live and that made his day. So please know! Your tips and appreciation makes a difference.

    It’s just your first day. I get great orders very early in the morning. Especially on weekends. Make sure you read the orders though… you don’t want to get stuck delivering those 40 bottle cases of water to the 3rd floor of an apartment! That’s the good thing about Spark, you see what you are picking up and where you’re delivering. Def reconsider shopping orders. They pay more and for the most part it’s really easy shopping, The app brings you right to the product. Best of luck!

    I love spark, yes it has some negatives but so do all the apps. With spark, I'd rather take an order that has higher base pay and little tip. Less of a chance of tip baiting. And you get the base pay funds right away, versus 24 hrs for the tip. One of the downfalls is wasting time waiting for an order then accepting it and have to wait 20 minutes to start it. But i much prefer shopping orders, they are so quick! And I've had issues with curbside.. they just literally throw the bags in my car. A half gallon milk jug broke open IN MY CAR because of them throwing the bags. So I prefer the shopping orders, I control how they are bagged and I load my car gently.. not like a crazy person lol

    Yes there are really a lot of people not tipping. Watch out for tip baiting on Spark. Home Depot and Advanced Auto Parts do not allow tipping. I think Spark is the only one that allows tipping. Shop and Pays are not bad especially on their app. It tells you where everything is aisles, sections and modules. They typically pay better

    I pick and choose, and never do more than 3 orders because i can bust out two orders in that hour, minimum. I also dont do huge orders. I check every order before accepting them. You have a $5 incentive for each order between such and such time, which means that $15 order was actually $20. Unless im just out and about i only do orders in the time frame of my incentives so I get the extra cash. Last week I made a minimum of $110 in my 3 or so hr time frame i was out each day (I did 4 days). I would have done that $7 if you was making that $5 incentive, for 3 miles.

The app tells you the exact location of each item and the pay is usually good for low miles and few items. Super easy and fun!! Hope you get some of those good orders and Spark becomes another boost to your income! Keep on hustling 😊

  • @reginawilliams710
    @reginawilliams710 6 місяців тому +7

    Spark... You have to grab them, analyze them and decide whether you want to kick them back or not. Spark is so over saturated because it is good money when you can get one. Sometimes the shopping does pay much better than the deliveries
    There are no additional tips added; what you see is what you get. Again, depending on your market, sometimes you can make much more on spark than you can with Uber Eats or DoorDash period. The only advantage to Uber Eats or DoorDash is you usually only have 1 or 2 drops offs. Spark tends to be at a minimum 3. Spark has come to the rescue for me here lately! ...but I also tend to keep all three on at the same time!

      Ditto on this. I remember before I started I went through all the tutorials and devoured the UA-cam videos. It also helped me to join my local FB group, too. I learned the ins and outs of each store and where the good pay range was. I also can see on a daily basis what stores are busy. I learned a lot way back when I started before I even picked up my first order. I also do Shipt, UE, and IC, and I make more money hands down on Spark but I think much of it is because I know the ins and outs better on the Spark app. I also knew the idiosyncracies of the app - of which there are many, depending on what the update has messed up this time. I know how to troubleshoot before I come across the problem the first time. That saves time and money when the app acts up in the store.

    I think you should reconsider the shopping orders. I hate shopping anywhere for any reason, but I'd honestly rather the shopping orders over curbside on Spark 100%. Always only 1 customer, USUALLY (not all the time) its only a few item's, so they get knocked out in like 30 minutes or less.

    Meaty Mama you should consider shopping. It tells you on the app exactly where things are. It's very easy. Aisle, section, and mod. Items are usually exactly where the app says it will be. Except produce and deli can be kind of hard. You may already know these things by watching other youtubers. I encourage you to try it a few times then decide. If you don't like it then don't do it anymore.💕

    In the beginning of the video you turned on Spark and said it was 2:30pm and I was like oh no she already missed the pickup offers. Those usually happen anywhere from the 18 to 32 minute mark. Usually if you have a good store it will be the same time every day. My store drops orders normally at :24 on the hour. Always carefully check what people order before you accept or you can seriously get screwed. Tip baits happen sometimes but so do awesome tips.

      Don't waste time on Home Depot orders unless they're somehow paying a lot.

    Like I said on the other video, Spark will have good days and bad days. Great orders and terrible orders. They didn’t always have the triple grocery orders, so you missed the good old days. 😂
    Surge means they may send an order out for $7. If nobody takes it, it will eventually come back around as $8. And will keep going up $1 to maybe $15? In my zone anyway, $7 is base pay. It just has to be late and people have to keep rejecting it. But you have a ton of stores in your zone. I only have like 6!

    Interesting. I use Shipt here in Wisconsin. LOVE my Shipt shopper. You can select someone as your preferred shopper. My shopper and I have become friends and she gave me her personal number so I can text her to find out what times she has available and we can coordinate so she gets my order. As a preferred shopper, they are usually funnelled to her first. If someone else picks it up first, I cancel and then reorder and she can usually get it. I am disabled, use a walker and ask delivery people to knock and then place my order on the counter. Most are really good with that. My personal shopper takes it one step further and puts the cold stuff in the fridge/freezer for me. I love her! I always tip.

    FYI...spark round robin orders only drop once per hour. Usually around the bottom of the hour. Depending on your area. Shopping orders can drop whenever they want to give you an order.

    Be careful with just quickly accepting spark orders if you are used to Uber/DD. I didnt realize it and I accepted an offer for 20 bucks on 8 miles, but the store was not the one i was near... it was 14 miles away and Spark only shows the miles for the trip from the store to the customers, not from where you are. I hated it personally because once i added in mileage to the stores and accounted for how long all my walmarts take to bring out the orders, it was awful pay... may just be the area

    I myself have EBT and notice that the Walmart app doesn’t give you the option to tip if you just purchase food items. If you get at least one non food item it will give you the option to tip so maybe that’s the reason a lot of people don’t tip because they know this and do it deliberately.

    You gotta pay attention to the miles and also when you take the order, you’re only you don’t have much time you have to be at the store by the time that is specified if you’re about after five minutes late then orders gone because that’s what they’ve been doing to us lately, so you have to kind of watch thatwhen you see your order disappear on the screen, that means it gone somebody already took it so you’re doing your first day so you have a lot to learn, but you’re doing good so far when it says Fire drop, but we only don’t do four drops and the Fire drop me the first drop is at the store that’s what that means so you have to also pay attention to rejecting offers.

    So, what I've figured out is you have to go to the Walmart near the nice neighborhoods, and I've been able to make consistent good money doing nothing but Spark. They always bring my orders straight to my car as well. I no longer use DD, it doesn't pay nearly as much and is inconsistent. Also DD penalizes a lot for rejecting orders whereas Spark doesn't have that issue.

Zip over there nada! Now the one I was at is hot so sometimes I'm just waiting with no orders while other stores are hot. Plus, they only give a minute or less to decide if I want an to accept an order or not.

      Because Amazon Prime has trained them that "free" next day delivery is doable.

But many in the public don't understand why that works or why gig driving is different.

    I’m sure this has been covered already by other comments but on Spark almost no one tips. You do not have to arrive at that time unless it’s perishable. The total miles seen are not the actual miles from where you are when the offer is presented. It’s from the store to the customer.

    Thats said you can still (For now) just wait them out and get $30+ orders while doing doordash/Uber to fill the waiting. My acceptance hovers around 25% after ~1400 deliveries. I am very choosey as I hate apartments and the hood so I only take the ones in the safer areas.

Last Sunday I got a $50 offer for 2 items, 3.3 miles, scooped that up QUICK! I feel like with spark you really can’t do any other apps because you do have to sit around and wait for offers to pop up, and they get taken very quickly if you are not on top of it. The ones sent just to you, are on a timer & it gives you time to see the items, etc. but as with everything, different locations, different offerings, different pay-outs.
