01 — "Overview"

Instant start. Best as a stopgap — factor in gas and car wear.

02 — "The Crash Course"

  1. Step 01

    Sign up on multiple apps

    DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub and Instacart. More apps means more offers.

  2. Step 02

    Work the peaks

    Lunch (11–2), dinner (5–9) and weekends pay most.

  3. Step 03

    Set a minimum

    Accept offers at $1.50+/mile or $20+/hour equivalent. Decline the rest.

  4. Step 04

    Park in hot zones

    Near restaurant clusters to cut dead miles.

  5. Step 05

    Track mileage

    Stride or Gridwise. Mileage deductions cut your taxes significantly.

  6. Step 06

    Keep a cool bag and phone mount

    Better ratings, better offers.

  7. Step 07

    Know your real hourly

    Subtract gas and wear. Adjust hours to your best times.

"The math"

25 hrs/wk × $22/hr gross ≈ $2,200/mo before expenses.

03 — "How people lose"

    Honestly harder than it looks, but the steps kept me on track. Month two was way better.

    The "how people lose" section alone saved me. Avoided exactly that mistake.
