you are not making any sense.

I drive on uber, I drive on taxify every week. I make certain amounts of uber, make certain amounts of taxify, and offline trips. I make minimum 120k weekly from 2 or 3 of the sources combined.

You are saying I shouldn't combine my earnings. I should not cumulate them. Because you want to see where I made 120k only On uber or 120k only on taxify. How does that make sense to you? How does that make sense to any living thing?

That's not a smart driver, who drives HP and not have savings

If you make 1.2m cumulative in 10 weeks, what's stopping you from taking money from the good week, to make up for bad week. It's something I did when I was on rental

chemical engineer? Yet you do not understand that 120k weekly can come from uber, taxify and offline? You want to see 120k in a straight line for 8 weeks which amounts to a total of 960k

I posted cumulative 972k for the same 8 weeks but you are discrediting it and telling me you are a chemical engineer. What has being a chemical engineer got to do with simple mathematics.

Keep your money jare. Buy fuel with it

It is very visible.. The example I gave about one of my uber customers justify his point.. I just wish at times my friend will speak up. But he told me that if he does speak a lot of uber drivers will come for his head... keep in mind all business analysis and sports analysis are good theory wise. But it does not mean that you can't achieve practicals .. Examples in my case, I have a female uber driver.. I don't think anybody would have hired a female driver.. But I did and took that chance.. The theory there was that a female driver might be more careful, honest and get more tips from customers.. The practicality about it is that you will never know until you try it. This is not like am trying to go to the moon .. What am putting into action is not a big deal ..

Fahrenz I like your spirit and hustle but I guess you should say gross 120k not net...but nitigriti from his explanations of setting expenses apart I beleive you know what he meant...all the same nice hustle.

dru23:
This is the most on point analysis I have read ever on the uber forum. From the beginning to the end, I couldn't find any criticism or doubt. Very on point to the max .. You will make a good business analyst

nitigriti:
1) Leave the offline out of this, except you can show us a bank transfer with a name matching the name of the rider
2) Listen to your words again - net #120,000 every week, consistently. Those are your own words. So show us how you did it for 2 months, then we will try to reason with you that it can be done on hire purchase for 2 years
3) Cumulative is easy. It doesn't tell the real story - that in this hustle, its inconsistent. There are ups and then there are downs. Many hire purchase arrangements fail because of this your same assumption - I net #120,000 per week, I will remove #35,000; I have #85,000 to play around with. Its not that simple. Sir.

Total net for uber = 424,802

Total made on uber and taxify for 8 weeks = 547227 + 424802 = 972,000

If I add offlines, it will climb to 1.1m but I won't.

972000 divided by 8 weeks is 121, 500 per week.

If I add offline it's 137,500 per week.

If you doubt me, I will wait till the end of March and then I will post for that 8 weeks again.

Now, where is my 15k?

Fahrenz:
Uber for december

I understand you points.
HP is not for everyone but that doesn't mean it won't work.

No one can drive 730 days without hindrance and when I said 730 days I didn't mean it in a stretch. No one signs a contract that doesn't allow for hindrance. We are humans.

My point is from a positive perspective.

If a Toyota corolla is totally sound, engine, body, gearbox and suspension it is very easy to achieve HP. I gave that guy a number of factors that would make him successful and if he sticks to it, he will be fine.

If you can consistently net 120k in a week and you have a good maintenance habit and saving habit, you don't need two years to complete the hp. You need those factors I mentioned, focus, and commitment.

A tokunbo corolla can go straight 2 months without needing anything more than an oil change. And if he uses the extended performance oil, 3 months before oil change. Let's not talk as if cars break down everyday.

At 120k a week, he owes only 35k.

Do you agree that with the remaining 85k left from that week, it is enough for him to fuel the car, eat, recharge his data and airtime and then save at least 25k weekly?

If a driver on HP can save 25k weekly, by the 12th month, he has saved 1.2m and has paid out almost 1.7m. If he decides to pay 900k to the car owner from his yearly savings, how many months do you think is left for him to complete the balance?

Don't forget the month of December.... Don't forget.

I understand that it is impossible to some drivers, but HP is very achievable if all conditions are met, especially focus and determination.

If you make 15k daily on weekdays, and 50k combined on weekends that's already 125k.

Someone like me will dust this HP but I agree that everyone doesn't have, not share my mindset.

Facts only

Guy be at alert some guys are towing away vehicles once you are spotted as uber or taxify, they begin to trail you until you mistakenly park
Don't go anywhere around ikoyi passport office to park, don't go to Cameron road in ikoyi, don't go to glover road in ikoyi, don't just park anywhere on the road even inside the street don't park

icze:
expantiate more bro

ifyeez:
Please respect ur self and stop posting ur Siena on these thread, this is not the thread for car sales, so kindly respect ur self as we are not interested.
If you have Corolla for 900k bring it, that's what we're interested on

Me I don't even bother to argue with them.

Pikin wey go stubborn, go stubborn.

This is not to intimidate any body but just to show how working smart is profitable on uber platform

nitigriti:
Are you on taxify sir? Short trips are very sweet on taxify - #500 - #700 for maximum of 15 minutes trip; #700 - #1000 for one hour. And you get a lot of them on taxify.
#SecretsofEhailing

pooozeee:
Short trip is very terrible, since morning 4k in my acount with just 2k fuel and I have quater tank fuel remaining
I was unable to set destination trip in the morning, uber did not allow me to do so

bily:
We still dey jare bro. And we still believe it's overrated based on the context of discuss at that time.

Remember the experience discussion came about at that time when car owner's looking for drivers where asking for minimum 6 months experience on uber/taxify before giving their car out.

Why I argued it was overrated then was that 6 months driving on e hailing does not guarantee driver will make good money or remit consistently. I was of the opinion that they should give a chance to New drivers too.
This was also based on the fact that I just started driving at that point without prior ehailing experience and I was making good money. I was of the opinion that if you have been driving for a while in lagos, know how to use Google maps and have a general idea of residential/commercial areas, it will go a long way in positioning without having prior experience in ehailing

Even by reading this thread, you'll see people that have been driving for long on this platform without no single customer service skills.

Don't get me wrong, experience on ehailing matters, it's just overrated as a major criteria to use to give a driver a car.
There are people with more ehailing experience than you and not making as much as you are and vice versa.
It's takes more than the length of time you've been in the platform to make consistent money

BillGoldberg:
Did you notice how I did not consider his opinion and never responded to him? Even when I mentioned traffic and damages to car, he still wanted to argue.

I have really decided to be ignoring animals and only be making meaningful contributions to this thread.

For people that want to learn, a driver gave me the list below and told me never to there!!! I test run some of them
Drivers that want to learn should learn!

The inexhaustible list is;
Never Ever go to Oyingbo, Apapa, Ejigbo, Ayobo, Badagry, Ojoo, Mile 2, Abule Ojoo, Abule Adoo, Ishaga, Isheri, Epe, Lakowe

Save this on your phone. I test run some of them. If its not extremely bad roads, its heavy traffic, armed robbers etc. Thank me later.

Good morning Bosses
You are all my boss because I'm about to join this business and I'm just joining this platform.
I've taken my time to read some of the previous discussion here, sincerely I can say it is more than what I think it is. Haven't said all this, Pls I will need ur sincere advice on this.
I was offer a tokunbo Toyota corolla 2006 on hire purchase deal for 3.5million on a 35k weekly delivery for 2years.
As a starter is this achievable or not?
Thanks in advance as I await ur response(s).

Oga Gazzuz experience matters. Dat dude sounds like a rookie. I started like that too, working nothing to show. 2 years in d game I have learnt alot. I use 2.4 litre engine and am doing well regardless of d low fares. There are no easy business out there. If I start writing d shiit I been through in this business, it will take 2 pages on this thread. Perseverance, endurance and tenacious ability to succeed matters alot. Successful business people are mentally tough

So, you have been hearing of how Uber drivers make 150k weekly and as the economy tight, you thought of how you can key in and make extra bucks. So you live at Gbagada and work at VI, you drive to your office by 6:30am and driver picks it up and returns it either at VI for you to come back with or at your house at Gbagada after you joined a colleague back home. Sound and fine.

But the model of the business shows that drivers make most money from 5am to 10am and from 4pm to 10pm. Are you aware that VI is an office environment and there are practically no requests from there by 6:30am in the morning. So your would be driver will transport himself to VI in the morning, pick your car and drive to Lekki area, pay toll gate to pick a rider. In the evening, he picks up a rider going to Ajah or Egbeda by 5pm, do you know how long that trip will last before he returns your car and at how much weekly returns?
Be ready for stories, defaults, and above all the aging of your car in a very short while. You don't need to be angry at the comments, your model will not favour any driver. Remember he too has obligations.

Free advise, hold your car or look for weekend drivers only, so that you can go to work on weekdays with your car. Alternatively give your car out on full rental and collect 30/35k weekly and use Uber/Taxify in the mornings.
