      RT Great to hear that. Please know that those 100 trips are just for YOUR city you drive in. Your referral code will have different amounts and trip total for different cities ranging from $10-$700. Make sure you watch my video titled “Uber Referral Myths” on my channel.

  • @titusnixon
    @titusnixon 4 роки тому +1

    Everything you said is correct. I started Uber in 2011 and it was a perfect fit for me at that time, I drove until I had it with it (5 years) I was tired of all the things that you stated that was when I knew it was time to move to something else. But I figure that out in the beginning, I knew the gravy train had an end and after five years I was ready to move on to the next level. I sold Uber and Lyft service, I hustle that like a true salesman, I made more money in sell than driving in the beginning, because it was fresh and New, but I also knew that would come to an end. Like anything, you have to know when to fold and not be forced to fold.

    You have to be in the right market. If you are in a small market that only offers short rides you are making as little three dollars for a ride that might take ten minutes of your time not to mention the miles on your car. In town driving is extremely tough on your car's transmission and the low fare on these short rides will not compensate for the cost you are incurring whether you realize it or not.

    Valuable as always. However, if you're driving 60-70hrs per week - and rideshare is NOT your full time job, you're not hustling - you're grinding. Ridesharing/gig economy was not meant to be full-time. Hustling has to do with your ability to offer value for money OTHER than ridesharing and your knowledge of business development (which Calvin clearly has). If you're 'really' hustling you're consistently out-earning full time drivers week in and week out driving much less.
