How I DOUBLED My Income With NEW Lyft Strategy

[@EvolvingDee]

This video is AWESOME, thank you so much! 🙌🏾 I almost got discouraged, but I remembered about KZbin university 🤣 I typed I “How to make real money with Lyft” You were my first option and I'm sold! I’m 4.5 years in, with my best day at $780, best week at $2,300, in an MDX. I'm in a 5 seater now and took a year break. I have to start back at the bottom and it sucks here 🤣 This video has saved me. Thank you! 😊

I'm in this guy's same market....I haven't gotten streak bonuses in awhile. The driver challenges come 50/50. And the zone bonus disappear just as soon as I arrive.

[@trky4]

I thought it was me when the closer I got closer to the bonus, the bonus would move or go away completely.

Yep, Lyft does this when they need a driver for ONE ride in a particular area~ 20 drivers will chase after it and the bonus will disappear just before the first driver gets there~

[@natewilliamsounds]

Not all people are doing this full time.. i just started yesterday part time and this video actually has a lot of good info.. if anything I think Lyft needs to make a bigger effort training the drivers, videos geared towards Lyft drivers and making the most money. At the end of the day, that’s why we are doing this in the first place. As a new sign on, I feel like I should’nt have to go to KZbin to figure out the straightest path to success.. good vibes to all ✌🏼 thanks for the video

[@ItsKO2U]

True and I agree about the tutorials aside from what they already provide,but making the most money tutorial tuh I wouldn’t hold my breath on it. But over time you’ll either love it or hate it once your hip to their schemes, I was hip 4 months into and to date I’ve only been driving with them for almost 9months now. They will take more from you before they give, so them showing you how to get more of THEIR money mmm not so sure lol. They want you to be a bit lost in the sauce.

[@animatedrabbit]

I happened to use this strategy before I caught this video and it works. I made $75 in the first 45 mins last Monday. It slowed down after because longer rides in rush hour kill the hot time.

@ yeah I work for Lyft now I’ve actually rented a car through their flex drive program and it’s a lot for me being a mother. I drop my kids to school and get right to work sometimes on the weekends so I can get a babysitter but at the end of the day, I feel like I have a slaving for them even though they’re paying the car insurance it’s a brand new car and I can scrounge up a little bit of money at the end of the week. It’s often put back into the car directly for gas or even a car wash. My whole thing is the personal miles how they charge you for personal miles and how Lyft sends me all the way out to take someone home and then if I deny a ride because I’m in traffic or riding back, they’ll log me off the app and charge me for personal miles that I’m not using for personal miles now, I understand I’m supposed to keep the app as I’m online, but it’s actually very distracting and kind of dangerous to be fighting with the app while I’m in public toggling my screens on my iPhone so I’m not really sure how to talk to them. I haven’t found a customer service number yet they haven’t replied to my email when they’ve asked me about a one star rating that someone left because I pumped on the brakes and she was too young to understand what driving was that? I saved both of our lives. I got no other complaints but they made me a preferred driver, then took me out of being a preferred driver after I got that rating a month ago and the first week I was actually driving, so it’s a little scam if you asked me I’m definitely thinking about buying a car and using Lyft to get straight money but either way Lyft flex drive program is the cheapest if they didn’t do the personal thing on the regular cars thanks for responding

[@chrisa3045]

Platinum driver here in NJ. Ever since Lyft did there recent update I don’t see no more surge in my areas , no streaks only streak zones once in a blue on late nights only which sucks, long pick ups, also I noticed I’m not getting paid extra for customers on being late during pick ups. It’s sad how hard they have us burning ourselves out and making it super hard to earn every dollar we earn. Multiple strategies I tried but still a challenge.

[@TrendingHeadlinesTV]

Awesome video! I also discovered this technique a few weeks ago in my local area. It works extremely well. I have 3 filters I can use through out the day so I used all of them with the ‘stay within area’ of a 5 mile radius. Almost doubled the money I made without the filter and I used only 1/3 of the gas I usually would have used within a 9 hour period. Thanks for sharing your valuable tips with the timeshare community! Video was very well put together! Props to you my friend.

[@ryanmozert]

How do you get a filter is it an app

[@TrendingHeadlinesTV]

@@ryanmozert the filters are built into the Lyft driver app. It’s the upper right corner; the 3 or 4 lines. Touch this and you will see the filters you can choose from. You only have 2 filters to use within a 24 hr period if you are silver. Gold, you jump up to 3 filters per 24 hr period. “Stay within Area” is the filter that is very cost effective for saving gas. I set mine to a 5 mile radius and you will stay within that 5 miles for 3 hrs/ filter. So you can stay in that 5 mile radius for a 6 hr timeframe if you choose

Some viewers have said that if you change the size of it or move it around, it consumes a usage. Also, of you take a ride on the map that puts you outside the filter, it'll negate the filter.

[@wanglee21]

Kind of odd because I use to always get streak bonus when I first started. Some odd reason Lyft hasn't given me any for a few months now.

They refuse to even tell me what the complaints were or which passengers left the complaints. I reached out to 2 support agents and they both gave me no information and refused to reactivate me.

As a driver in Las Vegas this doesn’t fully apply because there was a surge so this isn’t a everyday strategy it’s not busy or there isn’t any events going on

[@FRMillionaires]

I'm familiar with your market. Using this when it isn't busy is still more useful than not using it at all. It'll help make sure you're not taking rides to areas that under perform or take you away from the strip. Will always be useful late night/early morning or if you want to stay centered on the airport from passengers from the Henderson area 😉 It's up to YOU to figure out how to apply this tool in your market. But if you're a repair man and the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem will look like a nail. This strategy is just ONE tool of many that you should be using depending on the day and time.

Streak bonuses are dying and being replaced with Bonus hours, which is worse. I don't think this strategy can be implemented fully anymore unless you live in a city that has solid events or by working during holidays that other drivers no longer work. For example, Kat Williams is coming to my city soon, and I'll use this strategy. It'll probably be helpful for Valentine's Day and St Patrick's Day, depending on your city.

The streak payments are a bonus program given for not signing out in between trips, not a strategy. Also the streaks are not paid in many regions any longer.

As a veteran driver, i respectfully have a few questions: 1) What are your earnings after the maintaince and insurance expenses?. $71/hr sounds sexy but after all your expenses that can easily drop to

[@FRMillionaires]

1. Here's a video I made earlier this year with a breakdown of my earnings and expenses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iamne2Scp9GVo5o That doesn't include the strategy I talk about in this video because I first started using it in March. I used to make ≈ $450 per gas tank but this new strategy helps me make ≈ $800 per gas tank. With gas being the biggest expense, I can say with confidence that I'm not spending that much on maintenance. Previously, as I only averaged like $6-$8 an hour in expenses. I'll do a follow up soon. 2. Since October 2020. 3. I stay in the same area all day unless I get a great long distance ride through an app called Skeddy that automatically finds me long rides: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKLFhJ1oqq2td6c 4. I have a few videos where I do this. I made a spreadsheet that does it automatically for me. I covered this in #1

[@westcoasthustle6133]

@csexecutiveservices. The expenses/wear and tear on your vehicle is always the cost of doing business. But I think you exaggerate there a bit when you say earning $71hr, and netting $35hr after expenses. I've been an independent driver since the mid 90's as a messenger/courier with own vehicle. Never was in the red. I am now a company employee truck driver. Try owning your own tractor trailer. Now those, my friend, are expenses. Tractor payment, diesel, insurance (truck and cargo) permits/licensing, monthly maintenance, repairs, tire blowouts, and with rates being low, thanks to alot of crook freight brokers. Driving for Lyft doesn't sound too bad now , does it ? Especially if you figure out a strategy

I have never heard of Streak bonus. They do percentages here during that hour.

[@operationbs7610]

The best strategy is when you think your about to giveup on the day...DONT! I work 530 to 8am and 1030a to 5p always great.

[@Make2KTheRideShareWay]

We don't get streak bonuses in this market however everything else that he is saying is true. You should know exactly where and when surges are going to happen every day. For example on Mondays if there are regular surges that happened between 7:00 and 8:00 then you know that every Monday it's going to Surge at that same place between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.

[@bevhoney-b2184]

I live in ohio & i have never heard if Lyft strategy.. never seen it offered.. And I drive a Nissan Murano all black... But apparently my car only is only a comfort.. So maybe comfort cars don't get offered strategy offers

[@FRMillionaires]

The killed streaks nation wide. They were replaced with bonus hours and turbo. While streaks don't exist, I still use this strategy to make the best of bonuses.

PROTESTS EVERYWHERE

[@lancefernandes7415]

I am in an area that is not a large city I drive a 2014 Honda Civic and when I do it all day on occasion I am fortunate to to 15 rides in a day making it very difficult to hit bonuses staying in the location filter makes a small slow area even smaller and slower the streak bonuses have only been offered late at night on weekends on occasion 3 rides = $15. My point is the money you're making is definitely indicative on the area you're working The bonuses they offer where I am are I'm working our difficult to obtain streaks are not consistent. I've often wondered if there are some sort of algorithm to prevent you from making them or maybe because I'm not driving a brand new Tesla or Audi or other fantastic car and I only have a 2014 very nice and clean Honda Civic maybe I'm not getting the rides others are getting even though I've been doing this for a number of years

[@FRMillionaires]

What city?

[@wanglee21]

Many of these rideshare videos are applicable in overly populated cities. Outside that don't expect these tips to work the same. I'm in the same boat as you.

[@lancefernandes7415]

Small Central California coastal City

[@sameeraldabashi4689]

He is showing the only third rides that he completed in the row. He don’t show the first and second rides only the 3 out of 3 rides completed. Where is the first and the second rides

[@fergu588]

This didn't work in Florida

[@natachamusser]

I never see anything related to challenges in my area. This video is a year old. Lyft must have changed so much.

[@shoncustomer6681]

Lyft is horrible in my market. Even the streak bonus...does not bring a person up to $1 plus per mile. This how they pay in tulsa oklahoma no streak let's say 10 miles to go get then 10 miles to destination lyft shoots a price of 7 or 8 dollars. Then same ride with a streak pay about 9 or 11. They have lost their mind 20 miles should not pay less than 20.00 No rideshare should expect you to pick up for free and only get paid to take to destination. Not every market pays like this.

[@12matheus34cabral]

he spent like 6:30 minutes to start actually talking about the strategy, but it was worth it i guess

[@RobbiesLove]

There are no streak bonuses in nashville

[@MWLA2]

Interesting. L.A. markets have been saturated lately. With perimeter filters, starting at 4 a.m.- Grinding. Difficult to break 20 rides/day. Average ride 30m. See how next few months play out. Stay the course

[@osows1333]

I'm also in LA and I don't see surge bigger than $3, I guess all drivers are accepting whatever they give! + auto accept

[@mikhaillovelace434]

I discovered this filter couple years back but with uber area filter. Now they make it a tier thing you have to keep the acceptance rate up to regain the area filter. Nevertheless this works with lyft. Hopefully I can get priority mode which will help me get more trips while keeping me in the area busy. Only downside to short trips is you don't get as much tips but you save on mileage.

[@FRMillionaires]

I'm not a massive fan of the Uber area filter because of the way they split up the map in my market. Lyft's version being a radius makes way more sense. I wish I could test priority mode, but I don't think it's available in my market. The tourists here will tip about $3 on short trips, but I guess it's market-specific.

[@jefferypenna]

OMG! you are truly absent minded..... Now Lyft has caught on and has reduced the bonus areas and started the %bonus. Thanks!

[@FRMillionaires]

I'm making more money now than I did back when I made this video. Don't worry, I'll share how soon. I share how much I make LIVE on the podcast every Tuesday at 3 PM EST. Come drop by if you don't believe it.

[@FRMillionaires]

Ohh, btw. If you're selfish, just say that. I'm not 😉

[@shonteshields7758]

Can disability people use a lyft app for transportation to go to the shelter about adult abuse,when people call 211,I'm living with disability.

[@bobsmith6544]

But if Lyft doesn't offer all these bonuses like my city... Vegas ironically. Thanks for reminding me about the location filter though!

[@brezzyb9]

Thank you so much you helped me out big-time🎉

[@dandon768]

Are you an elite member ?

[@Hopenever4less1]

Funny I said this to a few drivers they thought I was lying too so I showed them my level was only I silver and guess what I got more hate then them excepting that the strategy actually does work.

[@oozhaboo]

Respect your Hustle Tristan! I'm in Savannah and want to get into this market soon.

[@misterscruffle]

Streak bonuses are like weeknights at 1am, not going to drive at those hours

[@FRMillionaires]

The most profitable time in my market is at that time. I think the risk-reward is worth it. If you don't want to, that's okay! but you're choosing to limit your income.

[@misterscruffle]

I disagree its not the most profitable time because there are a lack of rides at 1 am week nights. You wait much longer periods of time waiting for requests than you do when people are out and about.@@FRMillionaires

[@alanarroyo7139]

$400 $500 $600 dollars a day? that only happens during price surges, not everyday. average pay goes $150, $200, $250, $300. in a good amount of time 7-8-9-10 hours a day. great job opportunity but we are not going to live in a myth it is still a job and you have to put in your solid hours.

[@warrenfamilyvalues3751]

it surges everyday at one point in all major cities

[@SassyL62]

oh i see.. i suppose you could use para for the same technique on different apps!😊

[@courtneybailey8088]

Wonder why they took the streaks away? Lyft is shitty without them

[@drj-pi9ob]

How much is gas in your area?

[@FRMillionaires]

It's at like $3.15ish right now.

[@drj-pi9ob]

@@FRMillionaires okay! Im in LA, your gas price's or much better then ours

[@petegurdal1844]

Why are you getting so many bonuses included in your fares?

[@louismfrancojr2462]

That's crazy my bonus in my area is 18$ extra for 3 rides between 2pm & 3pm and you drive 270miles in one day gas is 4.50$ a gal here 25$ only fills my tank half way only drive 100miles a day

[@ItsKO2U]

Man Chicago ain’t never giving out those type of bonuses the most I’ve seen is like $10 but that’s every once in awhile otherwise it’s only like $1.50-$4 bonuses on a daily scale.

[@FRMillionaires]

I've got a friend out there who sent me some screenshots of good bonuses in Chicago during concerts, events and early mornings.

[@ItsKO2U]

They give them but they honestly don’t be a lot. They sure are not 10+ dollars if so I’d love to see them cause I’ve done concert and game pick ups and the bonuses either are none existent or not very much

[@charityjones1442]

Yeah i have nonnnne of these bonuses where i live. Never even seen more than a $2 bonus. Never even heard of a streak until this video and ive been driving for 6 months part time.
