It ain’t always about the money, it’s about the flexibility/freedom…nowadays you can’t really put a price on that!!!

Both me and my woman quit tractor supply (I’m retired) and we door dash full time. She drives and I dash. We are over 700 dashes and we LOVE it.

Nothing like getting paid to drive around listening to your favorite music.

I just started working full time at a car dealership but with 3 children it’s tough living off just that so I started dashing today and made $60 in about 3 hours. Definitely planning on doing this on my days off rather than just sitting around not making money

I appreciate the very realistic take. I'll be persuing dashing full-time while I'm going back to college because of the flexibility - also recognizing the impact on vehicle mileage and gas costs. I think it's an amazing opportunity as an interim while you work on building up your own skill sets (as you alluded to at the end of your video).

I've found that pay fluctuates based on demand too. Even better if you have a side gig you can do anywhere so you can just cherry-pick and do something else to make $$ in a cafe while waiting for good orders.

I’ve been door dashing in a college town/towns and I make around $25 to $30 an hour before gas, maintenance. I accept every single order but it pays off in the end.

Great video! This is the info that helps out the most 👍🏼

Thank you for the transparency!!

Great video! Can't wait to see what's next!!!

I'm enjoying the freedom, but man, I wish I could make more doing UE. I'm super interested to see what else you have coming up! 40.1K, hope you get to 50 soon!

I make about 100 to 120 dollars avg for 5 to 6 hours on -, Friday and Saturdays. I love your videos

The past 7 years I worked as a full time high school teacher at a private high school and I was only making $19,500 a year -before taxes - and I was driving 30 mins each way to work, so there was a lot of gas money too....and I have a masters degree! So you made twice as much as me Door Dashing. I worked about 45-50 hours a week easy, too. So for people like me, working for myself, choosing my own schedule, not having to do all the extra stuff teachers have to do, and essentially doubling my income sounds really good!

Thank you, this was great...I'll tag along for the ride... 🌈🦋😊👫

Enjoyed the video. I haven’t considered Door Dash but it’s worth considering

Goes along with your MORE in 2023. I’m a loan officer and have several clients who DD on the side from their regular job and their credit scores went up drastically because they were able to payoff debts and use their own money rather than run up credit cards. We can’t use the income in a home loan/ mortgage unless you’ve been doing side hustle consistently for two years, HOWEVER, it’s great when you need to lower your Debt to income and put down a bigger down payment.

take your plate off here brother. Even I could find you with all that info and through the dealership too. Be blessed and safe. Great info BTW

So happy I found your channel.

Thanks for the educational dash video 😎

I use door dash a few times a week and really appreciate the drivers! Always wondered if they where getting compensated fairly. I'd hoped for alittle more after all was said and done for them. Figured theyd take home around 40k if your doing it full time. But this seems fair. 25k is nothing to sneeze at if your doing it as a second hustle. Be hard to make a living if DD was the sole form of income. At any rate I appreciate th Content :)

Bro i been following ya journey the whole time and been dashing everyday with you since 2020 this video is so accurate i cant stop laughing

This was very helpful! Thank you 🙏

Dang you make a little bit more then I do as a part time Dollar Tree employee for $13 an hour. But I love how well you broke things down in this video. Keep up the great work.

great recap!

Thanks for your insights your post were helpful.

I dashed for most of the year in 2022. Like you, the pay wasn't as good as it looked, and there are no benefits from being an independent contractor. Getting a 'regular' job, if only for the benefits, is very much worth it. Thanks for your videos. Hope everything works out for you going forward.

Thank you for doing this experiment so I don’t have to! It’s not bad as some side $$. I love using DD to try to snipe jobs that are already on the way / direction I’m going

Well thought out video

Man that ending speech was fire!

I got laid off from my last IT job back in March, and the way things were going the last couple months there has really made me not wanna do IT anymore despite my passion for it and just thinking about how all my previous IT contract jobs had gone the last 7 years. The job I was laid off from was my first permanent hire IT job, and I was there for two years. The first year was the best professional year of my life, but year two was just ugh.... I was glad to be gone, but still pissed I couldn't leave on my own terms (I had actually made the decision to leave a week before being laid off). Now I'm not sure what I wanna do. I kinda want to go back into the service industry (fast food, gas station, etc.) as I have always been a perfect fit for that (that was all I did before starting my IT career after college at age 30), but I also want to go into Real Estate as so many of my regulars from my fast food and gas station days said I would be PERFECT for a sales position like that. Anyway, my Dad died two weeks after I was laid off, and I am trying to get his house. With the inheritance money I will have no problem affording it, but without a job, my bank won't give me a loan to cover my half of the house (I am buying out my sister's half with the inheritance money). After a month of waiting, my background check finally passed yesterday and I am good to go. I am kind of anxious to get started though as I haven't had a delivery gig in 10 years. But I also know it's just temporary until I finally decide what I want to do professionally, and it's for the sake of getting the loan (same bank approved me last year (just never found a house I wanted to buy), my credit score is 800+, and I have enough inheritance money to buy the house outright, but want to build my credit further with the loan). This video heavily inspired me to do this full time over the next few months so I can buy my Father's house. Thank you.

I truly appreciate the content from this video. I just started about three weeks ago here in Alaska. The market is pretty good. I drive on base from 11am to 5 or 6 pm and I've averaged $700 I week. After watching your video I will take the time to sit down and really evaluate if it worth still doing after taxes and expenses. Thank you for making this video. Good luck on your journey to financial freedom.

Man I love your honesty about doordash in this video!! Thank you, so I will be honest with you.. I took a poop while watching your video!

“The dopamine rush” 😂😂 I subscribed for that

Dang man you said it January hit and slow isn't even the word to describe it man. Unreal

I did 23k part time as a DD I have a full time W2 that’s the way to do it side hustle

Advice for the new dashers . Don’t steal people’s orders. Don’t go to the store and get the food and think just bc u didn’t hit “confirm pickup” you might think you will get away but trust me doordash we deactivate your account without warning. Also don’t decline too many small orders!! Bc your ratings is what really matters . Always remember to drive safe too . If you feel like you can’t do the order cancel it !!

This dasher's videos are extremely informative, thorough. Aedin

The way I see it. I was making $20 an hr at my last job. So as long as I can make $20 an hour doing this, at least 8 hours a day. Ill be doing just fine.

My wife and I are consistently making between $1,000.00 and $1,200.00 per week dashing. It's a nice way to spend down time between real estate closings.

Awesome good information.

I like that motto!!

Great story! So do you have to have each App added to your insurance to work for them. Or no and just work. Thanks!

I like your work you will drive 😎

I agree just doing it for a while ,tyyyyyyyyyyy

Try driving around. It’s more gas but the range is pretty far, I’ve had to drive like 3 miles to certain stores so if you drive from one hotspot to another you have the possibility of getting order from any of those 2 areas besides just being parking in one

I like this guy.

I really like the fact that I don't need a babysitter. I really don't have any support system other than my husband. So me and my 9 year old dash a couple hours in the afternoon. I only make $300 or so a week but once she goes back to school I'll be making more.

I’ve seen you do other delivery services too though! So does this only account for dashing or the others you did as well?? I think this is a good question.. 🤔

Um is it painfully slow for anybody else right now? My orders coming in seem so slow compared to 2 weeks ago.

Question: if you are attaching most of your expenses to DD, doesn’t that mean that your expenses driving for other delivery apps (UE, GH) are now less?

Awesome information. Seems more of a part time job with mental freedom allowance.

Can someone help me? My dasher direct card broke. I ordered a new one but it’s not letting me see or even use the virtual one. I have money in it but it’s saying insufficient funds for everything. Like everything is locking me out. What do I do I don’t have a job I got laid off this is all I have until I get hired somewhere

Catering bag and pizza bags are great!!!

Just got outta the military and I'm about to try this while I get my degree. Hard to find a job that pays enough to live on in my area and also fit around my classes. ALSO, as an E-4, I made less than you. And they expect us to be willing to get shot at! So that's pretty good!

Grub hub and doordash are both not accepting new drivers and Uber eats has been slow, I'm hoping things will pick up again on Uber 😩

Thanks!

Honestly it's all about being consistent.

even a solid part time(20 - 30 hours) to save and use dash to pay bills (or vice versa) is worth it,....i plan on working full time and dashing 20-30 hours a week for gas, food and utilities payments..... imagine making 1500 a month dashing... that can go to fuel, repairs and bills and u can save half ur checks on ur reg job, depending on rent/mprtgage

Thank you very much

I do doordash in Nebraska. I make $25 an hour mostly every day! Should i start making video!?!?

Hopefully, next month I’m going to get back to dashing full-time. The only thing I worry about is keeping track of my miles. I will admit I have not been good with this in the past. Even when it comes to filing my taxes in general, it makes me anxious. In the past I used TurboTax, but now I’m not so sure what to use. Do you have a video on filing taxes with door dash? I would greatly appreciate the help.

I pick and choose my orders. Been doing this full time about 5 years straight. Do better than my corporate job and a lot less stress. My acceptance rate varies from 35% to 65%. Haven't been top dasher in over 3 years.

It’s not even about doordash for me it’s how great of a businessman you is you gonna go places in life 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m definitely tipping better from now on

So how much did you make on cash tips that's not listed here lol. That's not reported so im curious how much in cash tips you made for the year?

Love your videos thanks for your information

It's still more than I make full time at a job I hate. Seems viable to me.

The mountains in 4:24 look just like you're in Pleasant Grove, UT. Am I close?

It's also called paying taxes it sucks but they only come after the little guys 😊

Door dash pays less then min wage! He's right.thanks for telling the truth

eyyyy, great video man and everything you said hit me 10/10. The sad part is that DoorDash income is more money than the minimum wage at the moment and as a Dasher you are sort of gambling your time and effort for those tips, like a Waiter, Busboy or Bartender. Sad part is, a Busboy, Waiter or Bartender make exponentially more than a Delivery Driver... Funny, right? The Delivery Driver is sacrificing much more yet making less than a Waiter, Busboy or Bartender. (I know that the difficulties are different, I've had every single job in a restaurant/bar) PROS & CONS is my FINAL ANSWER! PROS of a Dasher: CONS of a a Dasher: PROS of a Busboy: CONS of a Busboy: PROS of a Waiter: CONS of a Waiter: PROS of a Bartender: CONS of a Bartender: Every answer is going to be different but sort of align accordingly to the stresses of each position, but yeah the Delivery Driver is definitely underappreciated.

Any car issues throughout the year or maintenance?

Was this your only job at the time? Your main source of income?

Confused how working each month once, how you got enough data to tell anyone what months are dead? Wouldn't you need to be able to do an average in order to find that data?

I just want to make enough money to use when I’m hanging out with friends or family or just to save to buy something during the holiday season. I’m thinking about doing doordash for like 2-3 days a week until the summer. I’ve heard that it’s a perfect side job or main job for college students. There’s literally a hundred fast food and other types of restaurants around my area so I think I’d make a good amount.

I just did my taxes for the first time. Driving for doordash. And. I had to pay for Medicaid and didn’t get a federal back at all did anyone else have this happen to them

Do you get adjustments for doordash and uber eats. Here in california I usually get about $150 a week on doordash and about $150 every two weeks on uber eats. Is that only in certain states ??

I made $45k in 2022 with just doordash.

Working as doordasher connects with mechanics in town.

Yes it’s all about multi-apping 👍🏻

Also, if you’re only recording miles you need to record your gas. If your accountant gives you shit about it that’s doing your taxes as you have to do is take your mileage and compare to your gas with your car miles per gallon you could figure it out and then keep your receipts for your food for your pencils pens, paper, office supplies, all that good stuff, phone car insurance car repairs all that’s tax deductible.

You can’t beat the flexibility and I always do earn per offer unless I know my main restaurant is short staffed so I dash with earn by time. I make about $800/week in 40 hrs active time.

Great video. I DoorDash full time also. Work 40 hors per week in the Milwaukee market and bring in $900-950 consistently. Before expenses. When you multi app, obviously you have both or all apps going at the same time. Say you get an order from GH, do you just pause your DD app until GH order complete and visa versa?

I work in a rural area I’m in between two cities. One city is smaller and has 15,000 people and there’s a twin city close to it and that one has 15,000 and the other has about 10,000 and I only made about 10,000 last year working the whole year every month and being top dasher, I took a lot of time off here and there I have back issues but again at least I made top Dasher every month.

the instant payout is such a major factor like you mentioned dopamine hit from instant money....our generation dont wanna wait a week to get paid....

I run about 25% for gas an maintenance. I like self emp. Part of delivery business

I have a 7 month baby towatch so it is hard to do something else or I will have to be charged for childcare

$25,000 is more than what I'm making at my regular job

I’m tired of living on the road and being a trucker. DoorDash is going to be my crutch in the year between trucking and IT and it’s going to be such a breeze to sleep in a bed every night and grind out 12 hours of dashing 4 days a week.

How do I add the pizza delivery program?

Can you please tell me how can I switch my car on door dash app? I bought a new car and want to switch it with old car on doordash

Is it possible to earn $25 per hour average?

See more quiet for like a month and he could've made so much more. He went from wanting to make 100k to not wanting to drive at all, everything changed after his dog. I've been a dasher all year I live in Michigan and it's helped me make 40k after profit and expenses and taxes I'm north 30k total profit. I've paid off bills I've took time to get my health better it's been awesome I'm even taking my dashing on the road. My opinion is if you want to make 20 or more dollars a hour without having to jump through hoops become a gig work take control of your life it ain't for everybody but honestly it's a easy 40-70k a year depending on your location and work ethic

So I DD sometimes. But l also pick up 8-12 hour rotations with various healthcare agencies as an independent contractor. Obviously I make more when my car is parked at a facility. It’s 25-30$ in the clear but I often drive an hour and a half to the location. BUT, there are days I prefer door dash. With both , I pick my schedule. I wake up and decide if I’m working that day. And I think that’s the beauty part of gig work. It’s not even to make a massive amount of money. It’s about combating burn out. We’re 💯 taught to go go go until we’re old and unable to move. And sometimes, we just need time to actually enjoy our lives. You can make a ton of money working 24/7, but then u don’t even have the time to spend it. And honestly I don’t live above my means. My idea of a good time is a decent movie on HBO and snacks. The increase in gig jobs or pick up shifts has been a blessing. Most jobs have zero work life balance.

Gas prices are down a bit now, at least where I am. After 3 days of dashing, I made $500 after taking out gas cost. I'm looking into getting a good e-bike with at least a 60mi range and 30mph top speed.

What did you do for health insurance?

I have dashed for 2+ years. It can deff get slow at times. UNPOP OPINION. I KEEP MY ACCEPTANCE RATE AT 75% OR MORE . WHEN THERE ARE A LOT OF DASHERS ON THE ROAD ITS A GREAT WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT THE ONE SITTING WAITING 20 MIN FOR A ORDER.

I LOVE Doordashing!!!! It is perfect for my personality, I like people but not really lol. I love providing service. I wish they provided a car.

Monthly car payments ($400-$800 per month), cost of car and it's yearly depreciation? You just put, what 2.5 years of mileage on ur car, in a year?? Car insurance?....

Did you get the pop up email from door dash
