Hello! I am new to skool and I want to check out some other communities before developing mine, but I've noticed that there are groups for specific "side-hustles" rather than for gig workers more broadly. I created this group for those of us who want to develop these side businesses into a life-sustaining career. This is about more than selecting the right trips on the right apps. The AI overlord on DashMates is not your boss. It is merely a tool in your arsenal to build a customer base and keep the wheels moving so your transportation business can keep afloat! About me: I have a worthless degree and the work ethic of a dozen men from past centuries. It took me far too long to realize that this is what I should have been doing all along. I got into the gig apps as a joke initially while working for a start-up consulting firm specializing in fraud protection on third-party services such as DoorDash. Ask me about refunding your orders for free shit! I wanted to see what was going on first-hand. This gave me an appreciation for data science, opening up a totally different and unrelated career avenue for me. It also gave me valuable information that I was able to put to use in first trying the gig economy to become profitable on my first day. I prefer to transport freight or deliveries over humans, though I am open to anything above my threshold. No tip no trip! I have been optimizing and adapting my strategy and logistics for almost 5 years now and I have plenty to share with you. Short-term roadmap: I want to produce a video explaining my experience in a handful of delivery platforms: DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, Roadie, and Lyft. I would go through the pros and cons of each and explain where each app falls on the spectrum of order volume versus order quality - and how I used each to develop a winning strategy in my market by determining the ideal time and location to be on each platform. I believe that my system can be adjusted to any market, though people in smaller markets may need to be a bit less selective due to lower volume in general. I also want to start recruiting members for this community and encouraging dialogue. I am not a gigtuber but I may produce gigtubing content exclusively for this group if you ask very nicely and promise not to dox me.
