I bring home $1k a week after all expenses for 60 hours. No commute, no dress code, no schedule, no boss, no micromanagement, no stress, can break whenever, easy money. Drive an old Prius, paid 4800 cash for it, after 100k miles I'll still be able to sell it for 3k...that's how you keep most of your earnings. People in the comments must be driving a McLaren, saying the cost to operate is 90¢ per mile, fuck outta here. My gas is .04 ¢ a mile.
U2b Geye yup, been telling people that. Thanks for sharing for sure
Same here man, I drive a 2014 Hyundai Elantra with 50k miles and it's already paid for and gets roughly 35mpg all day long. Small tires too, so they're very cheap when they need to be replaced. Easy money. The people who complain are the people who have no idea what being "self employed" means, and are driving an SUV getting 18mpg.
man, I really liked your video and I already subscribed. I have a question: what's the advantage of renting a car thru the express driver thing with Hertz and driving your own car? I heard that with your own car of course there's too much depreciation, but also with the rental, one doesn't get all the perks the app is supposed to offer.
Elias Andrade Junior I’m not sure because I haven’t rented. I would imagine that would be good for if you don’t have your own car that fits the criteria for Lyft, but you want to work.
Thats what i always saw it as.
Thanks for the sub, cheers.
I paid off a 4 year car loan in 1 year driving for lyft. So tell me what's the depreciation on a paid off car idiots. Cars lose value regardless. Yeah you might make a little more money as a trade in with less miles but it won't be more than the money you make driving. Also it allows me more tax deductions. If you single or don't have kids it's hard getting write offs. Depends on market but minus expenses I average $14 a hour. Please tell me a job where you can work when you want with no boss or b.s. and make 14 bucks a hour? I'll wait
JC clarke Since Uber and Lyft do not offer a 401K, I’ve been strongly advised to sign up for Robinhood and get penny stocks. You can also get ETF’s if you’re style is not aggressive. It’s been working great for me. If you get the app with my link be both get a scratch off stock. Somebody got an Amazon stock and sold it immediately. Here’s the link:

JC clarke exactly what I tell ppl i used to work 12hr a day 5 days a week I work close to the same my friends said i quit for no reason I told them yea I'm making the same but I'm my own boss if the boys hit me up wanting to go get a beer I just push a button and leave work its totally worth it also its deff worth it to get a rent car they pays for themselves
JC clarke sounds better than delivering pizza ..
Is it better than delivering for Dominos? 3 days a week?
Fresh sox just quit my dominos .. a very busy good dominos.. sorry no having to tuck in my shirt and just the energy his jon gives. And i loved dominos because of its freedom over other jobs. Lyft is just another steup
Retired Air Force. Live in Tampa FL. Started with Lyft three months ago roughly. I was a bit hesitant at first with all the horror stories you hear from other Lyft drivers on RUclips. Been doing it off and on. Three trips minimum per day. I am not planning on picking up any drunks though so no clubs or anywhere else people have been drinking. Would rather lose that income. Don't want to deal with the drama and possibly end up on an episode of COPS or LIVE PD. ;) lol
EDDIE LEAL You’re not wrong man! That’s a good strategy if it works for you.
You should probably take the "drunks" before they are avtually drunk. For us female drivers a 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. shift on weekends still pays really good. You are taking the party goers before they are intoxicated 😁, I just let my fellow uber driver males pick the drunks, I get scared with drunks!! 😂😂
You forgot the daydrinkers! A rare but special breed who know how to handle their stuff. Lol
nice
If lyft doesnt work people wouldnt do it. Im starting lyft soon. If i can make 200 on the weekends ill be fine. I only have 40 thousand miles on my car. It will be fine. To do until the summer time.
Warren Harrison yeah you're right. it works if you work it, and it works differently for everyone. people who down lyft as a source of income probably did it for like only two weekday nights, said "this sucks" and quit.
I feel like the people that complain about doing lyft or uber are the ones that whant to put on lest hours and get paid alot if you want to get paid like a boss you have to willing to pun on the hours every day every week like a boss people now want everything easy i working on trying to be a cab driver cuz i hate the job i am now no bathroom not a good place i need out
.
yep, nice side gig
Thank you for this video, good information.
which app are you using for expenses and miles?
Can I call someone from lyft if I have any question?
I'm almost ready to start but I still have some questions. Dallas Fort Worth area and the DFW airport.
Marvin Romero I really never got into using an app, but there are some good ones out there if you search for "mile tracker". quickbooks has something i'm sure.
Lyft isn't terrible at driver support but just apply and then go through that process, which is pretty straightforward and guided, if you have more questions check out driver groups on facebook for driver support
Interesting how smaller cities make as much as larger. I am in Louisiana and the drivers here make as much as big city if you are strategic

I live in Louisiana and looking to start for lyft
Yeah it really just depends. Every market is different
what sort of phone service do you use?
I'm in a small city in Northern Michigan with a population of roughly 200k and I have no problem averaging $700-1k/week take home after expenses and taxes. It pays the bills and it pays better than my factory job ever did!
Depends where you live, live near the airport? Or in la city your good to go
true
I usually do about 20 -25 an hour not to bad here in Vegas I actually stay away from the strip to
Awesome. I've never been out to Vegas, would love to go.
nice
I've never done this, but regardless, I've watched videos of folks talking about how they juggle Lyft and Uber, and based on what they say, I think my strategy would be to start with one until I really got the whole process under my belt before even thinking about juggling both...thanks for posting this video.
thanks for watching. Yeah I would just do one at a time. I honestly don't really know why people do both.
I added your code to my name it’s Michele Metzger. Did you get a notification??
Uber or Lyft it’s no matter, if you have a 10 years new car it’s fine, but if u rent it to do this job isn’t worth it. And once you break it down, you will see it’s worst than factory works, less than minimum pay.
Yeah some people rent...and I'm not sure how well that works, cause I've never done it.
hey! what was that app you were talking about that tracks the mileage?

To ALL DRIVERS, STOP giving automatic 5 Star rating to Riders.
Stop, Stop, Stop !!! All Riders Start at 4 Star Rating , then work up or down depending on the Quality of the rider. Just because a rider got in, got out and paid, Does NOT justify a 5 Star rating.
Just like ALL Drivers have to work and strive for 5 Stars, so should ALL Riders.
All riders start at 4 stars, then go up or down depending on the Quality of the rider.
I am tired of seeing an Obvious 1 star rider with a 5 star rating. 1 Star Riders should be on a bus or a bike, Not having the Privilege of riding in your car and getting 5 star service.
Yes people, it is a Privilege to ride in a nice, clean car and receive 5 star service for a riders measly $5 to $10.
Drivers, this is the Only job in the world that you have the ability to Rate and Review a customer / rider. Don't let your rate go to waste. By properly rating a rider you are helping other drivers be safe and create a positive environment.
Let me remind you, if a driver gets a 4.6 or lower rating You Get Deactivated. Bye bye. ..
What happens when a rider gets a 4.6 or lower rating? ??? U hear those crickets yet....that's right, Absolutely Nothing happens to the rider. 4.3, 3.9, 3.1 rating. ..nope, sorry, nothing happens to the rider. And if for some Miracle the rider does get deactivated, they open another account in about 60 seconds.
What can you do if you get deactivate. .....nothing.
So, Use Your Power of rating and reviewing riders to keep the ride share community safe and positive. This is Ride Share, Not Ride Slave!!!
Don't be afraid to rate riders 1 star.
And if you think your going to give a rider a 3 or 2 star, just go ahead and hit the 1 star to be sure it actually has an affect on them.
In my opinion, DON'T pick up riders below 4.6 star rating. This will send a message to riders to shape up and be thankful that they are Privileged to get such a fantastic service for their crappy and ridiculous $5.
How desperate and NO LIFE u need to be to be YOU.....to hve this time to tatletle lyft drivers,dude get a fucking life dumbfuck
You're very cute and I think you did a great job explaining what to expect as a lyft driver for beginners and people who are considering it. However, I do not recommend quitting a job. If you're on a job making $11 an hour, it's not costing you anything except your time. Ridesharing if I earn $11 an hour, I have to break off some of that for several different car expenses. So how much am I really making an hour? I drive for Lyft because although I work full time, I still need extra money to keep paying the bills. I think driving for Lyft part time is better than getting a part time job because I work when I want, and if I'm sick or have an appointment somewhere, I can just turn the app off and I won't have to worry about getting reprimanded or fired. By the way, people in the military also drive for Uber or Lyft.
I have never made less than $15/hr I’ve been lyfting for a year in Phoenix. I live on ASU campus. Holidays for drunk people & university football games are the most wild around $60/hr! My first day driving was New Years 2018 and it was awesome. Also I smoke my weed vape in my car when I drive during party hours cause no one gives a fuck. It’s awesome! I installed LED lights in my car also and I’m getting a tablet for video games
Also Uber sucks. They steal customers data too fuck Uber
finally, someone who isn’t here to make out Lyft as the devil slavedriver that makes them work for $2/hr. that’s awesome!
Good video this is my third day doing it for a couple hours
Good stuff man. Make sure you apply the same hours you would to any other job (if possible), don't let yourself get psyched out after 4 hours like some people.
Hit a weekend really hard and get that money!
Lyft customer service is deaf, they don’t answer their phone when you call..
Have you tried submitting a form through the app? Like usually I get them to call me no problem.
You might be calling the rider CS line or something.
Try asking on their twitter, too. Or Yelp.
Does anyone know why lyft wont give out their number? I try to ask questions and found that they have automated answering system to answer your questions but doesnt answer the question you asked ?
Top flight go to the help section on your dashboard. Type in Lost and Found. Scroll down, then hit the red call me button and you'll get a Left rep to call up back immediately.
Top flight because Lyft refuses to be accountable for anything...I questioned how can they deactivate drivers if their low ratings are due to passengers having problems with the app itself...their answer is always...”well, that’s subjective I guess”. So I persist, “when are you folks gonna take responsibility for issues passengers have with the app? Why don’t you inform passengers that ALL ratings affect driver and could cause them to get fired.” Lyft answer is always, “ummmmmmm”.
Ok so if I drive for 4 hours in one day will I get paid immediately for those four hour? Or will it show my so far pay till the week I ACTUALLY get paid?
Amaru King so i believe you can always cash out over $50. So that could be one big ride even, and you could make that much and cash out
Amaru King that’s how it was when i did it, pretty sure that’s still the same measure for instant pay
Thanks
What apps do you use for miles and everything else business wise?
Son D. there’s a bunch, like mile IQ
Do riders on Lyft tip more often? I currently do Uber and I only get tip sometimes.
Way more often.
electric feel Riders on Lyft get tips often because Uber tell the riders” you are not force”.
I generally tip $1-2
electric feel lyft is a much better company and even people who mention “I’ll tip you on the app” are people who don’t tip. Tips have to do with YOUR attitude
THE MAIN FACTOR is that the RIDER is only paying .90 CENTS PER MILE! The cost to drive a car 🚗 is about .90 CENTS PER MILE! You are not getting paid for your LABOR! You are driving people around for TIPS! You are destroying and depreciating your CAR 🚗! What you are cashing out is the depreciation on your car at the rate of .80 cents per mile! Your day job is POSITIVE INCOME! Lyft is all expenses, depreciation, risk ! YOU ARE NOT PAID LABOR BY LYFT! RIDESHARE IS A SCAM !
oscarmonroy27 you know you get paid per minute too and there is also peak times
How much money can you squeeze out of .90 cents per mile that the customer is paying ?! The cost to operate your car including gas, depreciation, maintenance, is about .90 CENTS per mile! Please do not destroy your car 🚗 for these rideshare companies! If it was GOOD to use their own CARS then why don't they do that? Because they don't want all the expenses, risk, and debt!
oscarmonroy27 That's exactly right. You are "selling" you car a few bucks at a time & giving your time & labor away for free to Lyft. Even if they gave you a free car & a gas card you won't earn much. Certainly not as much as they advertise that you can make. It's false advertising. I don't know how they get away with this scam. We used to have laws & people used to have character.
Depreciation?? Most of these cars (mid size sedans have no resale value at all either way and if brought used its only a couple thousand same as driving to a normal job. Can make that in 2 weeks. Have to run it as a business. Get cash back through lift, your credit card, and rewards card for the gas station you use and can save 20-30 cents a gallon easy, tires last 40,000 miles easy if you do not drive like a tard. So 500 dollars thats one weekend pay from lyft. Dress nice, have water, clean car, and tips come in easy. Oil change is 30 bucks at local repair shop and or learn how to change the oil yourself. Learn how to change your brakes yourself. maintenance is a only expensive if you hire it out because of labor costs. Don't drive around like a tard to find another ride, wait. If you take care of your car can make it last 300,000 miles. Have your referral code with you and give to passengers when they sound interested. Easiest money in the world. I just do it as a side hustle but people who say its not profitable either has never tried it or didn't run it like a business because technically that is what it is. You can run it efficiently or pee money down the drain.
True!! I made about $2.33 per hour, driving 50 hours a week!! with the rental program!! its a scam!!
i currently have a 2 door car but they wont let me do lyft with that ughhh thinking about buying a new small priced car or something
HOLLYWOOD STAR yes but get the shittiest, cheapest car allowed. Don't get a brand new one.
Don’t do this job , you will regret for sure.
Cheapest car is a Nissan Sentra. Comes to $15k after msrp. Might as well get a car you enjoy for 20k the Sentra sucks ass. Doesn’t have auto windows. Toyota has the best cars with no upgrades. Comes with electric windows
I did 10 rides this weekend and people didn’t tip at all bullshit
Gilbert Haunted House I don’t know how many rides you can fit in with your schedule and all, but on a weekend you should get a few more before you evaluate if people tip or not. It’s totally possible you just had a string of people who don’t tip, or maybe you need to modify something about your ride. Just keep pushing it’ll happen.
Havent got my lyft stickers yet do you need them?
Scott Swinehart yeah you “do need them”, but you can get away with driving without them for a bit in the beginning. Lyft should send them pretty quick, I think I bought some off of Amazon to get them faster.
Ok thank you.
Do you prefer waze or google maps for navigation?
Scott Swinehart waze is the best
I just started, are referral codes useless now?
Good info. Thanks
Kelly Pagano thanks for watching. Let me know if you have questions
When they say commission is 25%, is that what you pay to Lyft?
Dana Calhoun yeah Lyft takes out their fees/commission before they pay you, so you don’t notice it too much.
Dana Calhoun Lyft takes their cut out of our bonuses and incentives too! I don’t think that’s fair at all.
They take 50% about
Bro you look way better with glasses on.
Thanks homie
The amount you made was that for the week or a weekend?
I've had $450+ weekends. Not sure what figure I said.
What you make is up to you, but lots of weekends...event weekends especially are super busy, good money.
Uber/lyft, refuse to learn from history . But history has shown, time and time again, that greed leads to downfall...They could double the minimum fare, and the Uber/Lyft services would still be more pleasant, punctual, and less expensive than a cab. Putting wear and tear on drivers car, for less than minimum wage is pretty insane.
Here's all the links to my other platforms and things you can do to support my channel (for free) - linkkle.com/micahdjohns
Do you get paid daily?
Cristina Page You can pay out the money you have as long as it’s over $50. So in a typical day that’s no problem. I usually paid out every few days or every couple hundred bucks.
So to round things up, you lucky if u get min wage working at 40 hours a week, average income =$400 per week 2 $600.
Do the math $1,200 /$1600 a month.... some ppl who really go out of there way to make ends meat can make $2,500/$3,500 # month
See, I don't understand where your "Aha!" moment is here. Lyft is a way to make an average income, I never claimed it would make you a millionaire. You're telling me to do the math and then telling me exactly what I'm stating in this video.
Lyft is a cool way to make money in whatever way you see fit. It isn't a get rich quick scheme or anything like that ..just to clarify for anyone out there who couldn't figure that out for themselves already.
Since Micah has a lyft referral code prominently placed here, don't believe a word he says. He only wants the bonus he will get from your signing onto Lyft. Same thing for the RideShareGuy. He tries to appear impartial, but you really can't be when you stand to gain by generating new drivers for these companies.
Linda Lea McAndrews of course I want the bonus for referring drivers. That doesn’t mean that I’m decieving people with my videos to get them to drive with Lyft. I genuinely had a great time driving for Lyft, it worked out very well for me, and I feel like it will work out the same for anyone who follows my driving advice.
Don’t just assume i’m some evil scammer because I get a bonus for telling people about a good opportunity.
I hope this comment ends up right at the top, so people can read my reply and figure out what they think for themselves.
People who think like you probably have too much negativity in their lives to succeed at something like this, so... wouldn’t be a good fit anyway.
what about taxes??
+Lala Smith of course you have to account for them. You’re 1099’d so.. i’d get with a CPA to see what you can write off, etc. For most people who do lyft as a side gig it’s not a super serious deal/change taxes much.
I just started so I hope I do well
Good luck man! You just have to hustle and stay consistent. And have a good time as well!
6 months later....care to share an update?
You earn hiw much per week
FIRST WEEK IN MIAMI FLORIDA MAIN✌#LYFT
Cuba Finnie nice
So how much do you make per week?
I never worked exactly the same hours, some weeks I would just slack and only drive weekends and make like 300-400 for 2-30 hours, and other weeks if I did like 40-50 It would be like $700 minimum.
Cortni Jordan I work one day maybe two a week.. only 3-6 hours and make 250 and more
Hold on. Peak hours? Weekend nights? That's when the rowdy drunkees come out and puke in your car
Could happen, never had it happen to me.
Micah Johns happened to me before with Uber. In case it happens to you, don't clean it up - take a picture of the mess and send it to Lyft. Hopefully they'll reimburse you$200 like uber
Yeah that sucks!
ZED24/7 ! guess it depends
I got $150 for someone puking OUTSIDE MY CAR.
Never mind money!! How much “kitty” do u get???! Hahaaaa
Anthony Moon is your profile a picture of a dog?
also, is this a dog joke?
are you a dog? and if so why are your owners giving you computer access?
Lolol!!
Thx
No thanks you will be working for packet change the money Lyft paying for service equal bus ticket prices it's a joke keep talking maybe somebody will believe that sorry I can't
Edward j S I kora pocket change? I'm averaging $21 an hour in AZ after gas expenses etc. Didn't know that was pocket change.
I'm averaging 14.00 hr before expenses! Then again, hertz has flooded the market for lyft.
"packet change"
I make more money delivering pizzas.
Have you drove for Lyft before?
PA Cash Scratcher how much do you make?
No you don’t 😂
You gotta put in too many hours to make decent money I rather have a regular job
Nolo Kobo you should do a video for us on this.
Westcoast Honey just not making any money dont know why sometime I find it that most money go in gas
It just depends on how much you want to work. It's super flexible.
Westcoast Honey it is a regular job lol
Westcoast Honey I make $22/hr with lyft and work 5 hours a day.
If you work in Lexington you better carry a gun with you!
You are so right. There are some sketchy situations I've been in.... mostly a good city, but you pass through crazy spots constantly.
People on here saying it's 5 dollars an hour are actually wrong,... it is 4 dollars at most ,..or even FREE ,..to drive for uber or lyft,.. do the gas challenge - 2 bars test,..you will see,..the math and QUICK
Nah lol
So when you go to work, do you not use fuel? So do that challenge when you go to work. That’s how much you’re really making. Lol I think you get how ridiculous you sound rn.
Take out gas money and maintenance fee your losing money
That's such a variable cost though. If you drive a Prius vs an F150 you're going to have vastly different costs. Of course, there are some vehicles that are terrible to drive Lyft in, but not everyone is losing money doing this. That's just not true.

What are you consuming my friend? Did you make your numbers ? What about car depreciation, oil change, tickets, the possibility of having an accident, people tearing your car because it is no their car, etc,etc,etc..... woke up my friend, if somebody hits your car they are going to block your account even if your car still is working well, and you only have an scratch on your bumper. Be realistic my friend, could you support a family with this? When your car gets broken, do you think they are going to worry for you? No, trust me, not. They are just going to get another stupid to cover that hole. On the other side , companies like Lyft and Uber are perjudicial to real cab companies and real taxi drivers who use to make a decent living with their work . Did you think about all of this. USE YOUR BRAIN MY FRIEND,YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR HEAD AS A DECORATION ONLY!
Carlos Bravo lol
the Gas and the depreciation alone make uber and lyft not worth it ,... but YOUR TIME,..is precious ,.. throw in your iphone charger, payments, insurance, food, the mess they make in the backseat ,..and you ARE WORKING FOR "BEYOND" FREE,..
WAY LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE
4 Dollars an hour ,..if you really hustle ,... but i doubt you'd even make THAT !
You're a taxi driver for fuck's sake you aren't making shit! lol
Dt0x75 oh yeah I just did it for fun :)
If everyone who took a lyft even tipped a dollar that would be amazing. Gas aint free.
true that
I feel like I might have actually ended up getting that much on average. Helped out a ton.
F0urTw3nt33 I think about this all the time.
It’s the nice people tipping $5 who make up for the people who don’t tip. And I always pick up people in rich areas and they never tip! How am I gonna pick you up in a mansion and you don’t tip me????
