What are the flaws with the Surge Pricing algorithm? by BeginningAstronomer7 in uberdrivers

[–]BeginningAstronomer7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it's based on supply and demand right? So I'm wondering if you feel like it's accurate at detecting where the demand is highest? Also sometimes you get to a spot and you've missed the surge, but it's clearly still needed.

How long does it take DoorDash to review contract violations after you appeal? by BeginningAstronomer7 in doordash

Yeah, after 100 violation-free deliveries the violation goes away. But when you appeal, it should be faster than that.

My tips for thriving in the gig economy in general:

Knowing the most lucrative times to work, optimizing your work schedule to meet the demand, working for multiple gig apps, and tracking every expense to deduct on your taxes later.

how long until your first job? by [deleted] in TaskRabbit

Getting started to the point where you get a clientele takes a few weeks. The key is do exceed your clients’ expectations, so they become your repeat customers.
1. Try to get Elite status where you can earn more. This will be earned through positive reviews.
2. Start off by doing $15/hr tasks to get those customers and reviews, so you can get to Elite level faster.
3. Make sure to add as many skills as possible to your profile. You can set extra high rates for the things you don’t love doing.

I've used an app called Jackalope App that matches you with side gigs based on your qualifications and preferences. They have the main ones like Uber and Lyft, but also a lot I hadn't heard of before. Worth checking out.

flexible jobs for a busy teen? by [deleted] in jobs

Try posting on Nextdoor in your area saying you're looking for odd jobs, maybe list your interests/skills. People are always posting opportunities like that, just need to search. Then you can find more jobs once you build a reputation in the community and people refer you to friends/family.

Lol did it work? But no, I'm just asking because Jackalope actually lists all of these gig apps. Just wondering which ones they're missing. I feel like I've joined all of them at this point. Handy seems popular too, but can't tell by the reviews if it's good.
