## Summary

This video compares eight driving apps that can help you earn extra money using your own car. It covers how each app works, the potential pay, and the pros and cons to consider before signing up, emphasizing the importance of calculating costs like fuel and wear and tear.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Driving Apps** [00:00] — The video introduces the concept of using your car to make extra money, noting that not all driving apps are worth your time and that some may look good on paper but have poor real-world earnings after costs.
- **Earning Expectations** [00:56] — Driving apps require time and effort; you must actually drive. Some can build up to part-time or full-time income, but it's crucial to make proper calculations considering costs like fuel and vehicle wear.
- **Amazon Flex** [01:57] — Amazon Flex lets you deliver packages using your own car. You claim delivery blocks (2-6 hours) and get paid a fixed rate, typically $18-$25 per hour, depending on location. Blocks can fill up quickly, especially for attractive times.
- **Sharetown** [02:52] — Sharetown involves picking up oversized returned items (e.g., mattresses, furniture) from homes, storing them, and reselling on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. Requires a large vehicle and storage space. Average earnings around $200 per sale, with some reps making up to $50/hour.
- **Uber** [04:05] — Uber is a well-known ride-sharing app. You can sign up as a driver, accept ride requests, and get paid weekly or instantly. Earnings depend on location, hours, and demand. It can be used for extra cash or full-time income.
- **GoShare** [04:52] — GoShare connects drivers with people needing larger items moved. Pay scales by vehicle: cars/SUVs up to $45/hr, pickup trucks up to $70/hr, cargo vans around $105/hr, box trucks up to $168/hr. Requires physical work and a membership fee (around $49, $154 in NY). Real rates can be significantly lower ($8-$12/hr).
- **DoorDash** [06:47] — DoorDash pays you to deliver food. Each order includes base pay plus tips, and peak pay during busy times. Earnings depend heavily on tips, so providing good service is important. You can schedule shifts or log in when you have time.
- **Roadie** [07:42] — Roadie is a delivery platform owned by UPS. You browse available gigs and choose which to accept. It shows exactly what you'll earn upfront. Larger vehicles can unlock higher-paying gigs. Earnings can be inconsistent.
- **WeGoLook** [08:43] — WeGoLook pays you to complete 'looks' – traveling to locations to take photos and gather info about cars, real estate, etc. Most tasks pay $15-$25. Requires being 18+, passing a background check, and having a smartphone. Best in larger cities.
- **Wrapify** [09:44] — Wrapify turns your car into a rolling billboard. You drive at least 50 miles with the app, apply for ad campaigns, and get paid based on miles driven (with a daily cap). Mostly passive income, but app tracking issues reported. Vehicle typically needs to be 2010 or newer.

### Conclusion

There are several viable driving apps to earn extra money, each with different requirements and earning potentials. It's essential to consider your personal preferences, vehicle type, and the costs involved to choose the best fit for your situation.

## Transcript

You already have a car. You already know how to  drive. So why not turn that into extra money? The problem is not all driving apps are worth your  time. Some can make you decent side income with   full flexibility and others look good on paper,  but after fuel wear and tear and waiting time, the  
numbers don't look nearly as impressive. So before  you sign up and start driving around hoping for   easy cash, let's talk about what you can actually  expect and which options are the best for this.  
In case you don't know, my name is Mikael and on  this channel I test and review real ways to make   extra money without hype and without unrealistic  promises. And in this video, I'm going to compare   eight of the best driving apps to make money  right now. I go through how each one works,  
what the pay looks like, and the pros and cons  you need to know before signing up. That way,   you can figure out which ones actually fits  your situation. So, let's get into it. So before  
going over the eight options I want to show you.  Let's first talk about the earning expectations   and it's important to understand that driving apps  means that it will of course take time and effort.   You actually do have to sit in your car and drive  around. So it's not something you can just do from  
home. But for some of the options here I will show  you it can actually build up to some really nice   extra money. Some people can even build it up to  a potential full-time or maybe part-time income.   One important thing to remember when it comes to  these different jobs and tasks is to make proper  
calculations because you need to think about that  there is a cost when you are driving around. So   always take that into consideration when you say  yes to some of these tasks. But with that said,   let's now start going over the options I want  to show you. It's not a prioritized list because  
which of the options are the best really depends  on your personal preferences and what type of work   you prefer. So I'll explain a little bit about  each option and then you can figure out which   ones are the best for you. You can just use  one of them, you can use several of them that  
completely depends on the task you like and how  much time and effort you want to put into this.   So basically everybody knows about Amazon but  few people know about Amazon Flex and this   is the first option I want to talk about and  Amazon Flex lets you deliver Amazon packages  
using your own car. You're not getting paid per  delivery. You claim what's called delivery blocks.   They usually last from anywhere 2 to 6 hours long  and then you get paid a fixed rate for the entire  
block. This is often around somewhere between $18  and $25 per hour, but this does depend on your   location. So, it can vary. Just keep in mind that  these blocks, they can fill up quickly, especially   for the attractive time. So, you need to grab them  fast if you want to do this. The great thing here  
is that the pay is more predictable than most  other delivery apps. So if you would like to   know more or less specifically what you get  from a delivery job where you're using your  
own car then this can be an option to consider.  Sharetown is next and this is different from   most of the other options here on this list. Here  you will for example not be delivering products   to customers. You pick up oversized returned  items like for example mattresses, furniture,  
treadmills, things like this from people's home.  You then store them and resell them on platforms   like Facebook Marketplace or for up or Craigslist.  You just need to keep in mind that you do need a   large vehicle like for example a truck or SUV  and you also of course need some storage space  
and ideally for some at least pickups you need a  partner to help you with the heavy lifting. The   money then comes from what you sell the items for.  On average, I've been told that a share town rep,  
as it's called, makes around $200 per sale. But  it does take quite a bit of effort. And you can   also see on the website they say that some of the  reps are making up to $50 an hour. So definitely  
a way to potentially make some nice extra money.  But just keep in mind that it of course takes some   effort and time. But if you are good at reselling  products like this, it definitely also has   a quite high earning potential. If we're talking  about driving apps to make money, we of course  
also have to talk about Uber. And I know most of  you have probably heard about it. I still want to   mention it here because it feels weird to make  a video about driving apps where you can earn   without mentioning this one. It is of course one  of the most well-known ride sharing apps. So you  
can sign up as a driver. If you get approved,  then you can start accepting ride requests from   your phone and the writers then pay through  the app and you get paid weekly or sometimes   instantly depending on your location. How much you  can earn depends on where you live, what hours you  
can drive and of course also how busy it is. But  some people, they just use it for a bit of extra   cash once in a while when they need it, and others  turn it into more or less a full-time income. The   app is available for both Android and iOS devices,  so you can use it no matter what phone you have.  
Next, let's talk about GoShare. And GoShare is  a platform that connects drivers with people   who need larger items moved, delivered, or hold.  This can, for example, be things like furniture,  
appliances, or some bulky cargo. What makes this  one stand out is that they pay scale based on   your vehicle. So couriers with a car or SUV can  earn up to $45 per hour on average. Pickup trucks  
up to $70 and cargo vans around $105 per hour. And  box trucks can earn up to $168 per hour. Keep in   mind that this is up to so this is not guaranteed  earnings. There is even a labor only option where  
you can just help load and unload. So then you  actually don't need a car. GoShare also offer   other benefits like healthcare discounts and cargo  insurance. The downside is then that compared to   many other gig apps or gig jobs, it requires quite  a lot of physical work. So if you're not into  
that, then this is not for you. Also, keep in mind  that they do charge a membership fee and this is   to cover a background check they do when you first  sign up. And from what I've been able to find out,   most places it is around $49. And in New York,  apparently, it is around $154. And this is a  
onetime fee and it is non-refundable and they  will use it to do a background check to make sure   that they can trust you. And as mentioned, just  keep in mind that the hourly rate I talked about   is up to figures. But I've seen and talked to  quite a lot of people that have used this and  
they have told me that the real rate can in some  cases be significantly lower. Some drivers even   report it to being all the way down to $8 to $12 per  hour in practice and of course how much work you  
can find depends a lot on the city you live in.  So just keep all these things in mind and then you   can try to sign up if this sounds like something  for you and then see what it can build into.  
You can also become a dasher as it's called for  DoorDash and DoorDash pays you to then deliver   food instead of passengers or different goods.  You pick up meals from restaurants and deliver  
them to customers. And each order then includes  a base pay plus tips. So if people pay you tips,   then you will earn more. And during busy times,  you can earn extra through what's called peak pay.   You can schedule specific shifts if you want  to, or you can just log in and see if you can  
find some extra work when you have a bit of  extra time. Just keep in mind that earnings   depend heavily on the tips. So you do have to  provide a good service. It also depends on speed   and also if you for example can work during  meal hours where there are more deliveries.  
Before moving on to the last few options, I just  want to make you aware that the majority of you   watching have actually not subscribed to my  channel. It's a free easy way to support me   and my channel so I can keep producing value based  content like this. You can always change your mind  
later. So I would really appreciate if you could  just take one second to subscribe to my channel   and also like this video. Thank you. Roedie  is  next and it is a delivery platform owned by UPS.  
So you can sign up through the app and then get  verified as a driver and then you can browse the   available delivery gigs in your area. So you can  then pick up the ones you want and you can just   skip the rest. So you choose yourself which gigs  you want to accept. One great thing about the app  
is that it shows you exactly what you will earn  up front. So you will not be surprised about any   extra cost or lower pay or something like that.  And you can use whatever vehicle you already have.   So it doesn't have to be a big vehicle, but larger  vehicles can unlock higher paying gigs uh through  
driver certification. You can then choose  weekly payouts or instant cash out when you   have earned. Just keep in mind that earnings can  be inconsistent. Some days can be really great   and others just are very slow. So just relying  on this one can be a bit tricky. Then you should  
consider maybe using some of the other options in  this video. Also, we go look is quite interesting   because you get paid to complete task they call  looks and this is where you travel to a location  
and you use your phone to take photos and gather  information about cars, real estate, accidents,   scenes or other items. You will work as what they  call an independent contractor and you can then   accept or decline any look based on distance and  pay. Most of these tasks pay between $15 and $25.  
So, you of course need to make sure that you only  choose the task in your local area because if you   have to spend too much time driving, then it won't  really be profitable. To join, you need to be at   least 18 years old. You need to pass a background  check and you need to have a smartphone with a  
working camera. The downside is that some of the  jobs, they do require longer distance drives. So,   as just mentioned, you need to take that into  consideration because this can really eat into   your earnings. So, overall, I would say it works  best in larger cities. The last option I want to  
show you is called Wrapify. And this is where  you in a way can turn your car into a rolling   billboard. You sign up and then you drive at least  50 miles with the app running. And then you can   apply for ad campaigns. If you get accepted,  your car gets wrapped with an advertisement  
at one of their apartment locations. You can see  some examples on the website about how it would   look. And they have different options there. You  can see some of them are not that much you need   to cover your car. others your car is basically  fully covered. After that, you just drive around  
like you normally would and you get paid based  on how many miles you drive. There is a daily cap   on miles you can earn from. So, just keep that in  mind and it's only available in certain US cities   and the availability of these different campaigns.  They it also depends heavily on your location. The  
biggest advantage of something like this is that  it is mostly passive because you once you have   been accepted to a campaign, you just drive like  you already do. I have however seen some users   report issues with the app not tracking the miles  accurately especially if they are streaming music  
or podcast at the same time. So just make sure  you check that so you know everything is working.   Also one thing to keep in mind that typically your  vehicle needs to be from 2010 or newer to qualify.  
So as you can see there are some great ways  to earn some extra money by driving. Some of   these tasks or jobs can turn into some really nice  extra money and for others it's just a little bit   extra here and there. But of course for all of  them it requires some effort but it can also be  
quite interesting and if you combine several of  them it will also have some variation which in my   opinion can be really great. I have also a full  list on my website. So I'll leave a link to that   below. There you can go and find links and even  full tutorials of most of these platforms. Also,  
if you want to know more about any of these,  I also have if you're interested in more side   hustles and some that you can even do online  so you can do it from anywhere or from home.   Then I do have a list on my website of  the best free online side hustles. So,
