Uber and Lyft have been amazing as sources of extra income for tons of people. People even rent cars and hire drivers to drive ride shares. It’s actually quite amazing the opportunities rideshare has created for people.

I’ve met my share of drivers from all walks of life; retirees, college students, new parents all who are trying to make some extra money and they swear by it. Depending on the city you drive in you could make a killing during rush hour and in airports.

My brother used to drive for Uber and he made enough money on some nights that he didn’t have to go in everyday!

Uber Eats drivers can make between $8-$12 per hour which isn’t a bad deal if you include tips which make up a bug portion of their income. If you don’t have a car Uber also delivers with bicycles and scooters.

Instacart has been a favorite since the pandemic hit and people did not want to shop for groceries themselves. It’s a safe and convenient way to shop without getting out of your home. They even offer express shopping where you can get your groceries as soon as you need them. If you don’t like to drive Instacart offers another way to make money where you are in-store shopper. You do the shopping and the customer picks up the groceries.
