如何为Uber赚100美元以上的驾驶

Updated:02/11/2022by亚博app下载111 Comments

为Uber开车是赚取额外忙碌收入的一种方法。毕竟，您赚取的收入越多，您就越早达到财务独立性。侧面喧嚣是赚钱后流行时代的一部分。

Uber is currently DESPERATE for drivers again as the economy rebounds from the pandemic. A lot of drivers quit driving in 2020 for safety and lower pay reasons. Drivers are coming back, but not fast enough.

对于那些想加入的人Six Figure Club (SFC)，这相对直接。每周40小时收取50美元的收费，连续52周收取邮件，您将在邮件中获得SFC邀请！当然，您首先必须发展一些有价值的技能，但这就是大学和所有这些额外的小时努力的目的。

如果您每周工作40小时每小时100美元，则每月可以赚取17,333美元，每年赚取208,000美元。那时，您真的可以在世界上任何昂贵的城市都能舒适地生活。

有了我最近的Uber Pay Stub，我可能只有三个月的开车就找到了一种方法。很棒的是，如果您有汽车，相对干净的记录，智能手机以及愿意忙碌的意愿，那么您也可以从Uber那里赚取六位数。

The Freelance Writing Lifestyle: An Easy Way To Make Money Online

Updated:08/03/2021by亚博app下载44 Comments

The following is a guest post by Holly, a freelancer writer and blogger I’ve known for over five years. I’ve seen her grow her side-hustle, ClubThrifty.com from a tiny site to one that has allowed her and her husband, Greg to quit their day jobs.

自由写作是开始在线赚钱的最简单方法。我离开日常工作后，我做了一些自由职业者，只是为了确保我不会饿死。尽管收到了遣散费并具有被动收入流，但我从不100％确定自己做正确的事情，直到足够长的时间过去了。

自由写作也是我永远不会害怕再次赚钱的主要原因之一。我知道，如果所有其他方法都失败了，我可以利用自2012年以来培养的创业网络进行编写作业。一旦成为一名成熟的在线作家，您就可以轻松地获得比家庭收入中位数每年的收入更多。把它带走霍莉！

作为一个为网络创建有趣内容的人，我一直都认识到日常人们的写作人才。有时候，这是我认识的人精心制作的一篇周到而诗意的Facebook帖子。其他时候，这是一封机智的电子邮件，对问题的聪明看法，或者手写的卡上装满了所有正确的单词。

这并不意味着每个人都想以谋生为生，但是有些人绝对会这样做。多年来，我看过我的几个朋友take up blogging表达自己并（希望）开始数字职业。不幸的是，太多的博客从来没有足够长时间建造任何有意义的东西。他们会说，一开始很难，而且刚起步的人几乎没有奖励。

One of my friends, Karen, is the perfect example of a would-be writer who couldn’t hang in there. After brainstorming passionately for months, she started a blog of her own and poured everything she had into it. But, just a few months later, I noticed she, too, sputtered out.

她从事忙碌的工作工作工作，迫切需要改变，但她不能兼顾博客和职业。她沮丧地选择了自己的常规工作9-5工作。对于她拥有的所有才华，放弃真是太可惜了。

Then again, I totally understood where she was coming from. I could have ended up just like Karen. In fact, Iwas卡伦至少五到六次。当我和丈夫从2011年创办我们的博客时，我退出了at leastonce per month. I had a full-time job that consumed most of my waking hours, and seemingly, my life force. Oh, and I also had两个孩子三岁以下的孩子.

你太骄傲了吗？当Uber司机比大多数Uber员工生产更多时

Updated:05/23/2022by亚博app下载85 Comments

Most people dream about getting rich. Yet, many of those people aren’t willing to put in the work. Are you t哦，自豪地成为有钱人？我希望不是！

I want to share with you some great insights I learned from a visit I had to Uber’s corporate office in San Francisco years ago.

I, along with several other drivers met with Uber’s marketing and operations team in their offices for being the Bay Area’s top referrers.

As a “reward,” they fed us some Delfino’s pizza and picked our brains on how we were able to get to the top. Then, they pitched us on their new referral system to potentially make all of us more money.

顶级的Uber司机不太自豪，无法富有

已经有了partied w/ Travis Kalanick, Uber’s billionaire co-founder, at The Foo Fighters concert, I figured I might as well check out the rest of the staff even though I knew this would take a couple hours. I wanted to know what type of people are able to get jobs at Uber because I certainly couldn’t. What does the corporate employee demographic look like and how do their minds think?

毫不奇怪，营销和运营团队成员处于年轻人身边。七个是高加索人，两个是亚洲人，六个是女性，三个是男性。一切都很好。从我可以从他们的LinkedIn概况中看出的东西，他们也没有进入公立大学。

Then there were us top referrers, all minorities, all from public schools, mostly first generation immigrants, and all but one making way more than our Uber corporate counterparts. An interesting contrast!

Why Would An Aerospace Engineer Want To Be An Uber Driver?

Updated:01/14/2021by亚博app下载39 Comments

以前，我写过关于我挣扎的朋友贾比尔（Jabir）的文章，他在发现Uber之前已经失业了几年。他开车去优步了一年，然后转换为敬业的酒店司机。在这篇文章中，我的另一个朋友哈利分享了为什么他为Uber开车，即使他在经济上蓬勃发展。享受！

通常，当我外出旅行时，我的SUV驱车前往Uber（或Lyft - 我都这样做）时，他们问的第一个问题是：“您全职吗？”我很不情愿地告诉他们：“不，我也在一家航空航天工程师的工程公司工作。”（奇怪的是，如果您曾经飞行过，那么您一直在我们的一架飞机上）。并不是说成为一名全职工程师/兼职Uber驱动程序，我感到很尴尬，但它总是引起我的乘客非常奇怪的反应。

Why would anyone who has a perfectly good job want to drive around a bunch of jokers during his free time? They don’t outright say it, but I’m sure that’s what they’re thinking. But there are actually a lot of reasons why I enjoy it and as you may have guessed, it’s not just about the money. Well a big part of it is about the money, so let’s explore that a little more first:

与Batna进行更好的交易：一项获胜的Uber交易

Updated:01/14/2021by亚博app下载65条亚博app下载ios评论

Negotiating using the BATNA technique is huge for saving you money or making you more money.

Last year, after playing an afternoon tennis match at my club, I decided to switch on my Uber driver app to try and catch a fare heading home. Making money by going in a direction I planned to go anyway feels great if it works. This was before Uber came out with their new tool to allow for direction-based rides based on a pre-inputted destination address.

我的网球俱乐部位于城市中部，所以我知道我的机会不到30％，因为东部地区有70％的SF人口居住。我是一个赌博的人，这次我输了。我接了一对母女夫妇，靠近我的俱乐部，他们向东北前往他们在渔夫码头的酒店。哦，好吧，至少我要赚到15美元，也许在那里驶向西部的一些高潮票价。

The daughter told me she just started attending Cal Berkeley, my business school alma mater, so we got into an engaging discussion on the importance of figuring out how toleverage the internet to make a a better livingif she learned only one thing in college. She agreed.

What’s It Like Driving For Uber? Mixed Emotions Of Hope And Sadness

Updated:01/14/2021by亚博app下载91 Comments

Joining Uber As A Driver With $50 Gas Promo — Rhino getting lured in to join Uber

今天，为Uber开车很烂。薪水太低，客户不好。随着全球大流行，业务下降了很多。这篇文章突出了2016年全部侧面范围的Uber开车的感觉。

我从来没有打算开车去优步。就这样发生了。当我拉到加油站填充犀牛时，我的2015年本田合身时，如果我签约成为一名驾驶员，就会有一个成小伙子建立一个帐篷，该帐篷促销了免费的50美元加油卡。

“No obligation to drive!”他诱惑我，所以我想知道为什么不这样做。由于汽油价格从低点弹起，过去只花了26美元才能填满我的价格35美元。Moose，我的旧2000 Land Rover Discover II吸引了$ 80 - $ 100坦克，因此相比之下，$ 35还不错。

在上传驾驶执照，注册和检查表之后，我等待通过文本或电子邮件获得确认。二十四小时后，什么都没有。第二天，我回到附近的加油站，问到了什么？他说他不知道，我应该通过电子邮件支持。所以我做了。他给我又给我$ 50的加油卡解决了我的麻烦。然后再加50美元的加油卡，用于将我的朋友推荐在我的乘客座位上。是的！谁不爱免费的钱宝贝？

几天后，我终于通过电子邮件从Uber回来了，他们说他们错误地输入了我的信息。但是，如果我只是登录并重新上传，一切都会好起来的。当我通过笔记本电脑登录我的帐户时，它说：Get a $100 bonus if you go down to the driver center at 130 Vermont Street to get everything set up.” So instead of re-uploading everything myself with no guarantees, I just went down to the driving center given I planned to be close by anyway.

After about 10 minutes of paperwork, the inspector said I was good to go. “您要做的就是下载Uber合作伙伴应用程序，拍照并上网！第10次旅行后，您将获得100美元的奖金，因为您可以到达驾驶中心，在第20次乘车之后再获得300美元的奖金，以通过我们的加油站促销报名参加。“

Wow! $400 worth of bonuses plus another $150 in gas cards. So that’s where Uber is spending all their billions raised. The offer was too tempting to not try things out. Now let me share with you my first Uber passenger experience, some earnings figures, and the emotions I experienced over the next couple of weeks driving.

Before Requesting An Uber – Things To Know And Do To Keep Safe

Updated:2018年11月10日by亚博app下载45 Comments

我们真的有多安全？当您听到一名Uber司机在骑行之间的密歇根州卡拉马祖（Kalamazoo）枪杀六个人时，很难知道。他的评分为4.73，在5.0中为4.73，自2006年以来的交通违规。授予，他在2006年之前确实有六张高速票，这应该引起眉毛，尤其是如果一个人的功能是将乘客移动在车辆中。

I’d like to give some perspective from a driver’s point of view regarding what could have made the Kalamazoo killer go postal and what you can do as a passenger to stay safer. There is nothing that can condone murder, but perhaps more human kindness and improving the way we interact with one another could help prevent a tragic event like this from happening again. I’ve got over 400 rides under my belt and experienced a lot of bullshit that tested my patience. The widening gap between the rich and poor is one of the most important problems we face today.

Are You A Morning Person Or An Evening Person? Discovering The Early Risers

Updated:04/30/2019by亚博app下载26条亚博app下载ios评论

一年的早晨在太空中

One of the ways to make more money is to work while others are sleeping or playing. You don’t have to be smarter than anybody else. You just have to do things other people aren’t willing to do, like get up before the sun rises to work on your side hustle.

因为在纽约市，我被要求进入办公室上午5:30，或在旧金山至少要清醒凌晨6点to get smart before the US stock markets opened, I’ve found it relatively easy to carry on an early morning routine since leaving my day job in 2012. My body is accustomed to about six hours of sleep. So no matter when I go to bed, I’ll wake up ~6 hours later.

一个晚上，经过一个特别漫长的网球比赛，我在沙发上昏倒了晚上10:15while watching the TV program, The Blacklist. Like clockwork, I woke up at 3:30am and decided to write a post until 5am. I then wanted to use this opportunity to see who else was up during the wee hours of the morning. The easiest way to find out was to simply switch on my Uber driver app and drive from5am until 7:00am.

Free Uber Rides! Changing Lives By Disrupting The Rules

Updated:01/14/2021by亚博app下载44 Comments

Free Uber rides are great. Let me show you how to get free Uber rides in this post.

For the past several years, I’ve seen Uber grow from a scrappy startup to an enormous success based right here in San Francisco. In the Fall of 2013, the company was “only” valued at $3.5 billion.

As of 2021, Uber is now valued at roughly $70 billion! Instead of driving for them, the best way to get rich would have been to work for Uber when it first started in March 2009.

所有人免费的Uber游乐设施

Jabir, the “我认识的最贫穷的人“ 实际上成为Uber司机几年前。他与妻子和女儿的支持失业了将近三年。每天什么时候都没关系，他总是可以打网球。我们还会在湾区周围开车，观看挣扎的专业球员有时每天八个小时与ATP点梯子战斗。作为网球迷，我们在天堂！

然后有一天，贾比尔停止了可用。他再也不能在下午2点在金门公园打pick网球。当其他所有人都必须工作时，他再也不能成为我的朋友，所以我必须找到一个新朋友才能在我早上写作后的时间。当我问他到底是什么时，他回答说他决定为Uber开车。

在接下来的12个月中，我根本没有看到Jabir。他每天开车约10个小时，每周六天，就像一个疯子一样。好像他正在弥补失去的时间。当我问他要拿多少钱时，他每月说超过7,000美元。从$ 0来的不错。

Uber允许我的朋友和许多其他失业者或失业者找到一种方法来赚钱并改善旧金山效率低下的出租车系统。破坏是巨大的。我什至考虑在业余时间为他们开车，但是穆斯（Moose）年龄太大了，因为2000年的路虎发现。

从2014年初开始，贾比尔（Jabir）开始再次出现。当我问他的情况如何，他说他不再为Uber开车，而是为特定酒店开了黑色SUV。“Sam, I was getting too tired driving all those hours. Hotel driving is so much easier. Also, Uber kept cutting its prices so I was only making like $3,500 a month. It wasn’t worth it to me anymore.”

贾比尔（Jabir）实际上开始将他的汽车外包给他的兄弟开车去上Uber，以便他可以开始收取一定比例的收入，并有空，让他开车去旅馆。聪明的人。到处都有被动收入机会！
