You won't get rich but you can get ahead in life with gig work because you can work as much as you want.. no only 5 days a week 8 hours u can grind 7 days a week 12 to 16 hours a day and really get ahead.
I love the attitude man, I just came across your content. I recently took a huge risk buying a car with terrible credit to drive uber and lyft and so far it's been going great.
I wonder, if you bought a car specifically to do UBER with, can you write the car purchase off as a tax write off? The reason why I am asking is because I have two other cars that I use for personal use, but if I purchase a car and just use it for UBER can I wrote off the whole car purchase as a tax write off?
Its super possible to hit 5k a month on uber eats. I done 4k working 40hrs in uber alone. Time management is mega key in this. You will struggle and you will.make excuses when things don't go your way. My goal this month is to make 5k and 10k next month doing gigs.
@@ethanzhou909 I think the pandemic is bringing in a new economy. Ppl especially in America are getting lazier and lazier. Ride the wave before the robot replacement.
I started a lawn care and landscaping business that I run solo in the summer. Its done very well, but I've been trying to figure out what to do in the offseason. I'm about to get my license as a life insurance agent and while I get going with that I'm also going to do some food delivery, Uber driving, and possibly instacart on the side. I'm signed up with instacart in Uber as of today. We also sell candles and wax melts, and I do some woodworking making hand carved signs, so we do a little bit of everything around here to make ends meet. I'll do everything I can to stay self-employed forever
Super helpful training.Thank you!❤❤❤. 71 y/o female from Illinois starting gigs.(deliveries) to add to my social security. My goal is $4,000 a month total.
He can easily make this video half the time… he wastes so much time repeating the same stuff over and over again…(not to mention he talks super slow 🙄)
Mike thx for this video, I am going to replicate your path. I began food delivery here in South Central Pa June 1st this year. Using your input I have fine tuned my efforts to achieve $600-$700/ week regularly. I really appreciate your videos. A bit about me I am 68 yrs old and spent a lifetime in consultative wholesale sales in Bldg materials. I made and lost a fortune. Forcibly retired 7 years ago I went into real estate and insurance sales both of which frankly sucked big time. Now retired I settled on food delivery to augment my income as opposed to part time at a big box store. I have no CEO, no corp politics, no corp back stabbers, minimal paperwork, no continuing education, and no office politics. With over 40 yrs of sales experience I have channeled those skills into delivery. I treat my customers like gold and make a good first impression. My tips show my efforts are appreciated. I have been researching the gig economy and am glad I ran across your channel. This vid has given me other ideas that I plan to pursue. Best.
I agree, talking about money shouldn’t be looked down upon. I like to speak money with friends and new people I meet, it has helped them have a better understanding and usage of how to use their money.
I took the week to gather information just like this. After watching videos from various sources, just wanted to thank you not only for helpful and professional content, but also the most sincere communication I’ve encountered. Very well done. 🌟
It’s all about mindset and self discipline I wake up and start dashing at 5:30 am every morning and I don’t turn it off till I make ATLEAST $130 I make $910 a week !
Why would you start that early though? How long do you drive a day? It’s good money but you could probably maximize your time more efficiently by working around an hour before each rush. 11-2 4-9 and make the same if not more.
@@anthonydeperino2046 thanks for that. I typically leave my app on all day and pick through orders however, just because the app isn’t busy don’t mean orders aren’t come through
@@roneccia1 why don't you just uber during the morning traffic then dd during lunch along with spark(spark is consistent all day) then ubering again when people get off work in the afternoon along with dd at dinner. Uber is good from 6 am to 9am 9am to 12 pm spark Food delivery 12 pm to 2 pm Spark 2 pm to 4 pm Uber and food delivery resist of the day That's what I found works for me My market is just 25 miles north of west palm beach Florida
What I like is is if I'm just out and about going or leaving somewhere I turn on spark or Uber. I usually make a few bucks on my way to and from my destination. Because why not? Also if I have my son with me(he's 3) I'll pick up a spark order or 2 and make 20 bucks in 30-40 minutes with him with me. I'm talking about convenience people.
Hi Mike I am a new subscriber from Australia and just starting with Uber Eat I appreciate all the tips and advice and I am taking every bits on board I hope ii willl be able to better my life in my new found adventure Once again I thank you for your time
I feel the pain. I work for UPS and load 3 trucks 5 days a week. Definitely sucks!!! If it wasn’t for the amazing benefits I would have left awhile ago.
Hi Mike apprec u, I am considering joining ..I need a roadmap and I really am impressed with your take on things. You have helped me w delivery and I really apprec it . I tell every driver to tune in to this channel
Great video.Icrealuze there may be some updates since this video, but .lots of good stuff here. When you said Always create a you tube channel..are you referring to/for Sub niche channels?
I can hear a little bit of Life Leverage in your video. My favorite book so far. I am starting a service business and earning money with Uber Eats to build some capital. I was going to do Uber Eats for only one week, but now after seeing your video, I should probably do it longer. Not what I wanted to hear, but it makes sense. Thanks for the great channel. You have brought me from $8 hr on Uber Eats to more than $25 hr. Once I get approved on other apps, this should improve even more.
I'm late to this video, but yea, I'm in a struggle season. Working part time at Amazon (I hate the environment, best pay I've had tho of any job) and about to be full time on Doordash. And, I still live at home... So I'm ready for a change.
I'm literally on my 10th day with DD and my goal is $500/week. We have a 2 income household and I haven't set my goals too high, as long as the bills get paid and we also have some wiggle room. That being said, however, I've been going well beyond my goal so far, and I feel like I have some room to breathe without having to work alllll day. My market does ok, but the thing is the city and county I live in is so spread out and I'm driving in the back country almost every day to deliver orders. So with all things considered, I feel like I'm doing pretty well. Would I like to make 10k+ a month? Sure. Who wouldn't. But I have to look at my situation and my market realistically and achieve the goals, even going beyond that, each week that make sense for me. I'm really enjoying what I'm doing and I'm happy with the results I'm seeing already, especially due to the nature of my market.
@@jpa_610 just know that if you want to finance a car or house, they don't count gig income for loans. But if you own your car and already have a house- good to go
Last year when i worked for food delivery companies , i found my earnings was not very dream . So today i do another work . Apparently food delivery has no more secret , the personal income is only paid through 1099 , so it causes delivers will pay much more tax , that's not fair ,
Should I maybe try moving to a larger city where I’d get more orders : higher paying customers / expensive restaurants? I live in Tulsa Oklahoma as of now.
I live in a forgotten Central Pa county with 400,000 people and am hauling in upwards of $600+ per week doing the lunch and dinner segment. Granted I just began in June of 2022 but the business is there.
Day 1 of ubereats and I did all the wrong things picking cheap orders just to keep driving and I ended up at the last order of the night... rain and someone outside taco bell offered me $120 for a 20 minute drive and made all those cheap orders ended up being okay for my first night payout being $190. Day 2... smarter not harder. I will also have $7 as a minimum!
You should post more of these kind of videos. This was great. Honestly there is only so many videos you can make on the gig economy. There’s about 3 or 4 things you should follow when driving food delivery. The rest is just luck.
Mike I am curious as to how you see where zones are when your dashing? My red all goes black w/no zone lines? How do you know these zones when in dash mode. Also do you know how to switch camera modes in app? Its using an app vs phones camera? Thanks man. Good sales skills man (respect)
LOL, Mike I just read through all these comments. In all my years in sales I ran into some of these same types guys. They spend more time telling you why it can’t be done than doing anything. Mike for what it’s worth I see in you a younger me. To succeed takes a can do mind set. You analyze the macro view then execute at the micro level, rinse and repeat until you hit your goals. Mike I plan to see you in the winners circle. Your naysayers will be collecting welfare or something.
I don’t live in a major metropolitan area. There’s no way I can make even $700/ week, unless I’m dashing 24/7, drive an electric vehicle, and orders come in every 10 minutes that are 1 mile each.
Need to sell on eBay or something then. Go to Walmart or Target if they’re close by. Find products there, open up eBay app, hit search and then hit the camera option in the search bar, scan the barcode of the product and see how much it’s selling for on eBay. Don’t forget to account for fees and shipping. I usually go for the actions figures/ Funko pops but could be videos games or whatever
Great video, I am been wanting to do You Tube channel with a different perspective on the gigs that I do. I am older and work a full time job M-Th and work F-Sun on my gigs. I am a bit nervous, even having an outgoing personality.
Mike, how long does it take to get approved for DoorDash and UberEats in a new city. I am planning on coming to Pittsburgh area close to the 3rd week of August for a month. Can I start the process before I leave my home state, or do I have to physically be there to do it on my phone?
If you do DD and UE where you are you just sign on wherever you go. If it doesn’t automatically let you (dd sometimes) then contact support and it should take like 5 minutes. No experience in actually changing your address if that’s what you need.

@@EckheartTurtolle I had people go in my account I don't like bank tellers I learned to get Walmart cards but direct deposit isn't always good. I don't like banks at all
I need help. I’m almost ready to quit gig work. A few months ago I was making almost 5 k a month with DD and UE. I don’t know what happened but it’s like a switch turned off. I rarely receive Uber orders anymore. If I crack $100 with UE in a 12 hour day I’m lucky. Door Dash is awful. Mostly $3-4 orders 5+ miles away. Rarely more than that. Today I drove to the busiest city near me which took an hour. 14 hours later, $118. That’s it. I think I’m done.
Make 10k a month. 1. Find a nitch on RUclips not done well and make a channel and declare yourself an expert even if you weren't. I know MANY drivers making 100k or more a year. Some that are even making 150k-200k a year doing Doordash.
@@MMMaterialistic90210 what proof do you want? Also, why do I care?? I was simpy answering a comment in the video. A discord exists with many gig app guys clearing 100k full time.
Stop giving a speech dude. Yes there are haters but i personally think your full of crap! 10k PM ye right. Try to tell that to someone who doesnt drive.
$10k? LMAO yes you "could" make 10k delivering food. but your living in your car at the time and you completely forgot that they don't take taxes out. that 10k is more like 6 after taxes. Make more money being a normal person and get a Job.
So when you mention your annual salary you state what you take home, and not gross? LOL If you have a $120K job - you don't say $87,478. Get over yourself. He's working...a JOB. Don't be so bitter, it's not cute.
