⚡️As a new Dasher, do you know what to do if your Red Card gets declined? Watch this video next: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbWGeNd-zpPaYqM.html

Honestly it's a blessing to have a job like this especially for people who's job closed due to covid

The advice to not rush is excellent. I was driving around like I had an organ transplant and a surgeon waiting, LOL. Running through apartment complexes trying to find the customer. It’s not life or death, it’s just lunch.

Toda was my first day as a dasher and I appreciate all of the information provided just completed 2 orders 🙌🏻☺️

Thanks Mike ; I’ve been going strong for 3 weeks the best advice I got from you is to not rush . Great advice I hear you in my head telling me to slow down a little bit . My life is a lot smoother not racing around . Thanks for looking out for us dashers

Day 1 I earned $29. Day 2 and 3 I made $50 by just choosing a better time to go. I get to listen to music and drive. Tomorrow my dad needs to go somewhere in downtown Dallas so I’m going with him and while he spends his day busy, I’m gonna run around and take orders in a place where someone I met said he makes $200-$250 a day.

During rush hour,keep your deliveries within 3 miles close to ur zone otherwise u will get stuck in rush hr traffic.

For people who are ambivalent about the acceptance rating, lets put it this way. I have a 5% acceptance rating and yet I'm still making $100 for 4 hours of work. Please don't let it bother you.

I'm brand new to dash. Did my first night last night. One thing I had a hard time finding was the map with miles. Yes no rushing!

TY for covering the acceptance rate, a lot more clarity on that now 🌟

Thanks brother for these great tips. I have been following you for a long time. I appreciate your insights and experiences that you have been able to share. Great job!

Great Tips! I watched your videos when I was considering starting DoorDash and I feel like your advice helped me hit the ground running when I started as a Dasher! You learn so much as you go in the gig economy! I'm glad I decided to just jump in and give it a shot, I learned a lot!

Thanks Mike. I have found your videos to be very helpful. I plan to watch many more. Keep it up.

Just did my first day dashing, Choose west bloomfield, mi as my zone. dashed noon til 5pm - made 100. far better than I expected for a first day.

I’m 20 years old and I was lost at life I hated a 9-5 job door dash really changing my life bro thank god for this 💪🏽❤️

One of the reasons on the decline order page needs to be “I don’t work for free!” What’s up with all these $2.75 for 5 miles or $3.75 for 6 miles? “I don’t work for free.” should be a reason.

YOU DEFINITELY HAVE GIVEN ME THE INFORMATION TO SUCCESS. AND I LEARNED NOT TO RUSH AS I WAS GETTING A BIT FRANTIC. THANK YOU 💜

I agree with all the tips except for one. I found it much better to drive between hotspots than to sit at one. I've gotten far more orders driving around. The only time I would say to sit put is if it's really slow bit even them, I've had better with driving around.

You are the best Mike, info is helping lots. ty

THIS IS THE BEST, TO THE POINT AND MOST I HAVE LEARNED FROM ANY VIDEO ABOUT DOOR DASH. I AM A FAITHFUL SUBSCRIBER AND THANK YOU 💜 EXCELLENT TEACHING.

I live right up the street from all the fast food chains in my town. Started dashing tonight, delivered 3 Jack In the Box orders, 53 min active time, made $30. Not too shabby.

Just bought a car and looking into this soon! This video is very helpful

About to go on my first day. This was perfect timing! Thank you!

Just started October 19th 2021 in Portland Oregon, it's, "ok, so far. Hopefully it goes well for my son & I. Thanks for the info 😊.

I’ve been binging your videos. I’ve been in severe need of extra money and with chronic Lyme disease I’m very limited on what I can physically do. You’re videos are very much appreciated

More excellent info! Thanks!!

Great content man. I subscribed the other day. This is info I need. Thanks Mike!

Just started today! Thanks for the tips!

This not Door Dash related but seeing these older videos of you in San Diego bring me back to when i lived there while seeving in the navy

Thanks for the advice Mike! I’m about to start Dashing again! Still little nervous. But hopeful

Great video. You are good on cam, and I'll bet, anything you do. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a new subbie and also going to Dash later on. Thanks for your help.

One of the ticks i get from delivering with DD in NYC is when the customer says “leave at door” only for underneath to say” call when here and hand it to me” leaves you flabbergasted 0.0

thank you for the info

Thanks for the the info. I just got accepted on Wednesday. Can't start until Tomorrow (Saturday). Still have to figure out a lot. This helps.

Grateful for the solid advice. Really appreciate it. 🙂

Thank you for the advice

Hi! Thanks for the tips!

I just signed up to be a dasher this morning and I wanted a better idea of what I was getting myself into. Thank god I came across this video it was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much! Left a like and subscribed!

Thanks for the tips

Thanks for the info on do not rush!! I have skin cancer on my left leg and I struggle sometimes going quickly because I am in pain.

Great advice.

I was really lucky that I had several hot and cold bags that were gifted to me (and the whole company) from my regular job. Only problem is that they say the local hospital name and logo really large on the side. But I just leave those in the car. Lol

Do you have any other info on the spread sheet at 7:55? I'm interested in what you're recording, how, and what it tells you. Awesome video, thanks!!

I don't take fast food orders. Not worth the headache waiting. And I love the fact so many restaurants are literally feet from where I park. Winning!!!!!

Thanks again for a great Video. So helpful, and great reminders for even some of us drivers that have been in the game for a bit.

I like wearing the red shirt I think so! So I can order it, I guess! Cute & red! ❤️

Thanks so much

Thank you for your door dash and uber eats videos!! Is there a way to start gps automatically when accepting a dash order? Or do i have to always click the google map button??

Great!

I did my research first and today was my first day. Long story short I finished with almost $80 with 3 active hrs. 1 good take away is to not rush because I do know I was super early for sure for at least dropping off three which was stressful only because I was new to this and took on two orders at least three or four times in the same area or same restaurant. This being my first time was stressful but I managed with no hiccups

Don’t rush is a really big one, especially with drinks. I went to Goodwill and got a few good size purses/totes and baby blankets for my insulated bags. I take the bags with me into restaurants so I can pack the order into the bag and keep it at temp, plus very stable so it doesn’t spill as I load/unload. I take the bag to the door and unload it there, so it’s at good temp. Customers appreciate it.

#3 was my burning million dollar q! Where should dashers hang out to get set for the next order. So thanks. I’m new starting today ( New Years Day 2023) and I look forward to making some needed cash.

Great tips man! When your waiting for a stacked order is it after you already accepted an order and wait a minute before you pick it up/going inside?

question, so if I decline an order and I dinged for that, or do I let it time out ( not accepting). thank you!!!

I would love to see a video that walks me and talks me through a full door dash after the fact... so record it in the moment, leave that hard to focus background music out, and talk me slowly through the process of an order coming in - what do you look at, what helps you to decide whether to take the order or not, what are the things you consider? Once you take the order, talk us through the details of how the app works from there. My first order took me forever to figure out how to do everything in a timely manner and I ended up getting tagged as not having delivered it on time, when in fact, I had delivered it at least 5-10 minutes early. Also, where do you put your purse? Some of the areas I deliver to are not the most trustworthy and full of character, integrity, and respect. I worry about my purse when I jump out to run a delivery up to a house. Things I found hard to figure out on my first day dash today: 1. How do I look at the screen and know whether it is worth my time and drive? 2. How do I know what the full amount of miles will be? 3. Once finished, do I drive back toward a hotspot to pick up another delivery or stay where I'm at? 4. Is there a way to tell where I'm being sent ahead of time? (I live in Indiana and it sent me across the border to a rough neighborhood in Illinois today. I grew up in a neighborhood like that and I know what goes on. I was not prepared and should never have been over there.) 5. How do you go into the app and send the customer a text? Are you doing this through the app or through your own text message? 6. I actually live in a rough and unsafe area... How do I drive to a safer area where I can work? Do I have to find the hotspot or can I just go to the area and then pick up orders from there? 7. What app or process do you use for tracking mileage, vehicle maintenance, etc? 8. I know I'm missing some things. For a type A - Highly sensitive personality and a total introvert (functional introvert but nonetheless...), I was a little overwhelmed with it all. I wish I could have had time to play in a "test" version to really learn my way around the app and figure out how to navigate it but because they don't offer that, I need a video that at least takes the time to show these things - and preferably, a previously recorded dash that has been gone back through and voiced over to explain everything...

Keep exact mileage driven because mileage allowance more than pays your taxes. No need to set 20-30% aside.

Hello Mike. Thanks for all you do. My question here is as most of the orders come in their own bags, when do you consider taking your bag into a restaurant to receive orders. Or do you always take it in no matter what the order is? And I'm guessing you have various sized bags for different sized orders. So when do you determine when it's appropriate to use these bags?

Can you explain more about the IRS write off cents per miles driven?

ty for the video. does it matter if you decline the order vs letting the time run out? Also, is the mileage given in the beginning when you accept the order for the trip to the business and then to the customer? If the business doesnt have the order ready even though you received a message saying the order is ready does that count against the dasher? Excuse all the question. ty in advance!

Good job sir 👍🏽

what do u mean by the red card? If they have the app, why would u need to use a red card to pay for their order. Shouldnt it all be done before u pick it up?

Red card orders are very rare these days. They moved everything to direct connect to be part of DD in most cases.

Stacked orders n only a few actually tip. Dragging two weeks groceries from Walmart up 3 flights of stairs because of contactless delivery n they don't tip. Gets my Goat n thinking about not accepting Walmart delivery

I'm in San Diego. Thanks.

So what advice do you have for guys like me (living in south dakota), where there are NEVER any schedule options open, only DASH NOW options?

I'm relatively new to this but i choose it due to making my own schedule and if my babysitter for whatever reason can't watch my daughter I'm not calling into work sick I just don't log in that day but on the other hand it's a small town and less than a year old in this town so not a whole lot of orders but my max delivery would be 2 miles if I went from one side of town to the other

Red card orders: Placing the order yourself.

Do you keep track all your miles during your whole session . Or turn on and off in between trips

You don't get a starter kit, until after delivering for a while. Not sure if that's a new policy, and this video was published before that changed, but I just started, and they told me I won't get a bag or a red card until I've delivered for a couple of weeks. Just thought you should know.

Do you have or can you do a video for deductions? How to calculate gas, maintenance, repairs ect... I put in work last week made abour $725 but nearly $300 in gas (18mi/gallon ugh) do I deduct gas from earnings then calculate taxes based on whats left of is it based on total earnings?

Hi! Why is there a promos schedule I know you would get the same promos if you just click dash now. Is there any differences?

When people do orders for say walmart do people just throw them in the back seat or use like rubbermaid container or something? I always use my hot bags for other orders but for big grocery orders idk, I'm not the best at keeping my car super cleaned out..

Where do I find the Dasher store ... Is it in the app? My red card and bag are lost in the mail. Post office has no idea where the package is. Is there a way to track your mileage? I'll never had early access. Every door dash order I've taken is jacked up. I've even had customers yell at me about drinks they didn't order that weren't on any ticket or in the app during a contactless delivery. They never ordered the drink at all. When the app glitched and Gave me a 25 miles order it said was 5 miles away... I logged out and never went back.

Started doing door dash a few days ago I had a decent and 2 ehhh so so days and have had bad luck with the tipping should I not accept order that don't have tips 🙃?

Yeah good ol DD sends one out of scheduled zone now. Basically we are just volunteers

Hi Mike, love your channel, lots of good advice! Quick question I haven't received my red card , but when a red card is required how do I know?

I start driving tomorrow I’m nervous, also I got my red card but no bag guess I’ll be buying my first one lol

Rookie here in a weird area.What if you're living in an area that doesn't offer dash? If I drive 6 miles north there is a pink area with a $5 incentive, or drive south 10-15 miles to a busy area (where the restaurants are spread out, and the traffic is horrible). Plus all areas mentioned was hit by a hurricane last week. Restaurants are half staffed and roads are difficult to navigate.

This is all new to me

whats that spreadsheet? got any links for to save for it? deductions column must be some formula?

With winter coming, what do you recommend about trying to find apartments’ addresses in the dark? I based my decision on taking certain orders knowing fast food are usually apartment Renters. I also don’t take the bait with stack orders that are extremely low which Door Dash tries to sneak in all the time since that lame order has been declined by other dashers.

I'm so nervous to start trying this gig economy thing man... I'm signed up to drive for a bit today. We'll see how it goes I guess

Can I do this without the bag and red card or should I wait until I receive them?

Do u know if its an apartment building or a certain neighborhood before u hit accept or do u have to accept the order to then see the details? I really only want to do residential houses.

The welcome kit-it says on the app I won’t get all that til I complete my FIRST delivery......so I don’t need to buy it then right?

My very 1st day Very 1st delivery will be today and I’m nervous as the Virgin Mary….if she was nervous. I wanted to start yesterday I 🐔out. I know I will be good at it IVE ALWAYS HAD GR8 customer service skills I’m just shaking in my boots 🤞🏽🍀😉

I know you can write off business expense like mileage but does Doordash and Ubereats count toward your social security earnings history? Like you mentioned you need to set aside some money for taxes at the end of the year but once you deduct all that mileage it reduces your social earnings.

I have 4 violations and still considered a top dasher I’m so lucky

Hey mike do u have to schedule a shift or you don’t have to ? Like can I dash whenever ?

Need 240 more to get $600 bonus!!! Wis me luck! Hey, nice video man!

Sorry if this is a weird question but why would anyone want to permanently schedule to dash in one area?

I really want to know what I need to do for paying for taxes by myself? Thank you.

Just started dashing. The app will not give you any orders until your in the zone that your scheduled to work in. It tells you in a yellow banner to get back to the hotspot areas to receive an order. I sat in a non hotspot area and it was the only times i didn't get an order within 10 minutes.

When u say home u mean my house lol? I usually go sit at the mall close to many hot spots but the hot spots look confusing on the app sometimes I sit all morning

Hi I am new & I scheduled a shift in my area but when I refreshed the dasher app it kept telling me I need to sign in to do my time slot but I got nothing. What am I doing wrong?

I always feel nervous that I might deliver it late to a customer due to traffic, accident, waiting at the store for minutes, hard to find the address and other unexpected delays beyond your control. I want to calm down...

Hey Mike - looking to maybe get into this business since I'm unemployed due to the Covid-19. How many miles do you typically drive on a normal or busy day?

Good tips. Driver of three years.

How did you figure out how much money to deduct with your spread sheet?
