I’m actually doing better than I ever have with gig work. I deliver in a wealthy college town & run 8 different apps every week. Main downside right now is honestly my lack of patience with stupid drivers! I typically start working at around 7AM and usually make over $100 by noon. I don’t like to be on the road for more than 5 hours cuz I have other business/artist stuff going on plus I have a family.

After 1700 Deliveries I officially hate gig work it’s gotten to where I avg $8-9 a an hr. Pathetic peasant wages

I do a little Lyft about 4 days per week. I've been on theirs and Uber's platforms since 2019 and I have definitely seen a major decrease in pay. Also I went back to school in 2023 and graduated so I'm also a Phlebotomist and I work full time and do gig as a side hustle. I made the mistake of doing gig work full time while I was in school. Personally me. I'm working on another side hustle because compared to when I first started gig work. If our laws don't step in to help us get better pay gig work in the future will not be worth it. It's not worth it. Get another side hustle that doesn't rely on you putting wear and tear on your vehicle. I make more money as a Phlebotomist. These companies deserve to lose drivers until they go out of business. But thanks to a lot of immigrant drivers being desperate they will never lose the amount of drivers necessary to show these rideshare companies what they will really lose if enough drivers leave them high and dry. My advice utilize gig work as a side hustle if you're going to do it. NEVER depend on this Full time. I don't depend on gig work for anything but side money. I pay my bills from my full time job.

2019-2021 was golden. As someone who was heavy in the gig work space, I think it’s important to know what you’re hustling for. For me, gig work allowed me to do countless things. It also has taught me to continue with a hustling mentality but to apply it do different avenues. I can’t say that it’s as lucrative as it once was but gig work has definitely taught me a lot and helped me grow.

Image if these companies just treated workers fairly and supported them and vetted them better.

The problem is people not spending money. Times are tough for a lot of people.. and add to the fact that some of the driver's provide poor customer service .. so why would people keep spending money on poor service.. it's too many variables.. and too many gig workers

[latonyasaffo]

They have a problem with people working from home and doing gig work. They want you to work for companies with people you dont want to be around

[Hbsmooth]

I mean gig work is a stepping stone . I’m working on transitioning now

[jclifton]

I really enjoyed your video! Keep up the good work!

Cargo vans have taken a serious hit on pay as well. Insurance is ridiculous. If you are thinking about this route, do your research and understand your operating cost. Or drive for a company who has a MC number you can use.

[zuniga]

Awesome vid Toya! Like I always say, "The burden of service is on the driver, and the burden of pay is on the customer."

I really don't know where GIG WORK is heading.... I still do my apps but I got a W2 as well

[kensofuego]

Market Saturation, Ease of signing up and the requirements, and inflation.

Food gig work in NYC is dead and that is due to people renting out their accounts to the illegal immigrants who have no problems paying a $400 weekly fee to these people. The big stuff like Roadie and Dolly are being over saturated with everyone who know the food apps are dead.

The best thing to do right now is try to get a dedicated route and then do gig work afterwards to hit whatever your goal is for the day. But that's just my opinion of the matter at hand.

[gregthompson]

It depends which gig apps really. Like doordash is trash during the week vs Uber eats can make up for that. Amazon flex Curri veho can rotate the week also it depends on your living situation . are you leasing or finance a car or own if you have kids really depends I say .if you single no kids with bare minimum bills it's easier to maintain but. the wife / husband kids mortgage etc it will be a tough one but still possible just might take you longer

Thank you so much for your content 🙏🏾 I love your channel as always, well everything, but that hard head nod u do in the opening minutes 🤷🏾‍♂️. Anyhoo, It’s so refreshing to have someone give truly unbiased and genuine opinions with nice inside tips also I left a high paying job with a bunch of different ideas and was gonna use gig work in case of an emergency once I ran thru my savings and have been watching you and others ( your the best though ) and I’m truly kinda sour on the idea or gig work now because of yes the over saturation, etc, but thanks again for your candid disclosure of your experiences on everything 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[desireedonaldson]

It is definitely hard, some days I make only $50 😫

[justcruisinmommom]

Thanks Toya
I wish you all the best I think with the economy, and the rumors of war things seem to be changing on quite a quick pace…

[priscillajohnson]

Well I am doing gig work for my coupon money so I don't have to take away from my main money
I do pretty good

[irisd]

I am just starting Spark and it told me two week, delivery that it was immediate and week later I got a delivery. So, everyone has to start somewhere
