In present Port Harcourt with so much hold up, any money you make from bolt goes on fuel. I'm being honest.

Do your regular job and bolt as side hustle, which you will do at your convenience

Say it bro, enlighten us. Infact, empowerment ussss!! Lol. Talk bro.

Bolt takes more than 20% of what you earn as commission.

You buy fuel, you maintain your car. Your well being. In short you are enslaved by bolt.

I stay in Port Harcourt, I have a job paying me 50k a month. But I also have a good car.
Is it adviceable to quit the job that pays 50k monthly and start doing Bolt?
Bolt away with your time and turn it to cash to create multiple streams of income for yourself. Carwash, Barbing Salon, Contracting e.t.c.

Okay let me explain and share my experience: When uber first came to Nigeria, it was quite profitable for the first set of drivers that signed up as at then, due to several factors: the volume of vehicles signing up to drive was low, the commission charged drivers was low and fares charged passengers was high - The passengers didn't mind because it was a novel idea and they loved the experience.
But as with all good things, many people flooded the platform to drive, taxify came in as a competitor, crashed the fares to attract more customers and slightly reduced commission to attract drivers.
Now, the space is so dense, meaning you have to drive twice as hard to make what you would have previously made. The effect is that the car suffers more wear and tear. Note, these sedan cars weren't designed for commercial use, so no matter how perfect their initial state was and how hard you try to maintain them, you still ultimately incur costly maintenance and repair costs. Let me give you an instance: oil change ia typically done on account of time or mileage driven. With rigorous cab driving and a.c always on for customers, you have to frequently do oil change. You know how w much good oil costs, with a.c on almost all day 7days a week, in no time, the engine will croak. And others.. In my own personal experience and those of other drivers I was in contact with, we were just working to take care of our vehicles.
Most of us have stopped the work. We are now doing other things.
But everyday, new people keep signing up to drive beliving its one goldmine. Because of how it was back then. But as they enter, they leave cos there is really nothing in it.
I advise anyone who is contemplating it, not to waste their time. My cousin asked me how was it that he was thinking of doing it, I told him not to bother, he didn't hear, he went ahead. Few months later, he ran out by himself
Rinoxy:

This is discouraging. Pls can u explain further on your bolt experience and the factors responsible?

50k a month is below 2k daily. You will earn more driving bolt. Since it's your car, I suggest you hustle hard, get another car or possibly start up your own business.

However, I can show you a business that will earn you much more while you still do bolt ride at your own time
