Shop and pay can be annoying. But I have gotten amazing tips from customers. I am talking 15 bucks or more just by going out of my way to help them. Don't sleep on the shop and pay!

Thank you Mike! I'm 64. Just started collecting social security. I have to bring in some serious part-time income to make a living. I avoided gigs like Doordash and Uber Eats for a couple of months because of the challenge of making $$ and wear and tear on my car. But in the last month I have immersed myself into the YouTube gig economy influencers like you. I am more and more enjoying your insights into this. I have been dashing for four weeks now. Just started with Uber Eats this week. Fascinating week of self-education between the two gigs!

I've noticed that I do get ridiculous after-delivery tips sometimes with UberEats, and I'm pretty sure a large part of it is what I have on my profile screen. Keep it honest. That's my #1 tip. Maybe you're saving up to start your own business or maybe you're trying to buy a house or whatever. As long as you're honest, you'll find people who will tip extra just to help you out.

1:05 I recently started driving for Uber again and I noticed that even 30 or an hour later, i'll get a message in my inbox telling me i was given a tip and to send a thank you in return! I use to drive Uber back in 2016... So much good updates have happened! very informative video, thank you!

I subscribed and followed your advice, and it was like heaven for a couple days. But then quest bonuses disappeared and I started getting spammed with $3-6 trips… it’s almost like they knew I “got hip” and started sticking it to me.
Totally about to start running with DD to see what they have to offer.

Shop and Pay orders on Uber Eats are insane. I had a $29.80 Target order and the customer tipped just over $4, the rest was all Uber Eats.

[coasternut]

There are fewer drivers for UberEATS, at least in my area. The orders seem to be a little slower than DD, but there's only like 4 people to take it. You're busy all night

They are killing me with this radar garbage now. I’ve gone from making $100+ a day in 3-5 hours to struggling to make $50 on eats. I don’t do ride share. I can’t lol we don’t get bonuses it seems on eats 😢

[timgreenhaw]

I’ve done several Safeway shop & deliver orders on Uber Eats, but at the end of the day it’s a huge time killer. So many possible shopping issues including waiting for the customer to get substitution approvals. Glad that Uber Eats has an option to not do these orders.

[stuartmcalpine]

In Atlanta for Uber Eats it would appear that the idea of a recession has sunk in. Orders are way down during lunch. Way, way down. Most of the offers were useless anyway so it hasn’t effected pay yet.

[DRSKINGDAVID]

It should be a way to see all of the information before accepting to the delivery

[chrisbooy]

Great video Mike! Clean editing as per usual, and great data for the graphs! 🙂🤘

[dfciap]

I didn’t start Uber eats because it wanted to pay me $6 for 12 miles and 35 minutes of time. I’m in Houston so I’m not sure why but no thank you. Wish I saw numbers like yours.

[diegog]

I love the shop n pays. Once you get experience and familiar with the stores you could make good money and most deliveries are like 1-5 miles.

[bmolax]

Does acceptance rate REALLY affect your status do you think? Because thats my problem. If a ride is not worth my time/money it affetcts acceptance rate.

Just started doing ue last week, with 12 delivered orders with only $1 dollar tip. People dont leave the suggested tip. Also, i have done door dash %80 of the orders delivered have tipped me $100 over in only 23 orders.

[victorrosas-brfs]

Yeah i noticed the trip supplements and i never even tried any other app. Wont be moving to doordash tell you that

[reginaldcapers]

All I get around 1pm is Walmart offers. I took one once and it was a nightmare. I had a 40 minute wait and ended up with a car full of groceries and 3 racks of water to a third story apartment.

[PurpleRose]

Maybe it's California, but I have NEVER seen the trip supplement thing.

Never any quests, bonus pay, or promotions besides sign-on. Any offers for those have been just over an hour away.

[profoundwanderer]

I'm not super worried about losing my UE, so I use Para just for that app, out of the 3 I use.
I literally use it just to be able to see, if it's a house or an apartment/ pin is good. 😂
I usually don't take apartment orders, unless it's like 2+ dollars over per mile.
Unless I know it's an easy to navigate complex, or the pin looks specific.
