Thanks but the truth is I[b] had to borrow to raise that amount and its not even complete yet[/b]. My problem is money and I don't want to drive rentals cuz I'm working too.

Thanks

Williams004:


Is the car good for the business pls? Advice needed

Xneg:


To be honest most cars are good for the business if the owner is driving, where you have to take several things into consideration is if you're not driving and giving it out for rental.

The last guy like you boasts of netting 120k weekly consistently for 6 months & he disappeared the same month. This happened February this year o & less than 3 months, fare has been reduced. You're here ranting about netting 3k daily & feeling high.
It is understandable that 3k under A/c compared to your previous job is heaven on earth for you but body go tell you later on that driving long hours for such amount daily will ruin your health. It is probably less than a year you started driving, I have been driving since 2008! & many others here have driven longer years yet you think they are lazy & should leave young energetic former bricklayer on the job.
Listen kid, hustle while you can but be smart enough to consider the future. Back in 2016/17 drivers takes 1/2 days off a week to rest and flex their hustle money, I bet you can sleep 8hrs straight now without driving in your dreams.
Come 2/3 months, another pure water seller will flood the thread again & be happy to be making 1500 daily under a/c. Be wise kid

jesusson2020:


Let me help you once again, I make 3k net after my food, phone card, and others. I make sure I save 3k everyday. That 3k is minimum, for me I'm very okay with it. At least they say little drop of water make an ocean.

3x7=21 that is the least.

Most Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays, I make between 7-10k net after food, call cards and others.

Those weekends give me 20k net easily.

Factory workers can't save this type of money, working on a site can't save you this type of money.

pope191 if working on a site didn't tell on my body, why will driving affect me so much. Its not your body it's my body leave it for me.

If you call it suffering/slavery let it be for me, it's good, it won't be like this forever.

My man it now clicks

pope191:


With all due respect my oga, I am not holding him, I don't even believe he is not an imposter, so I spit out my mind from a direct and general view, waiting for his response. 10 partners obviously do not speak for all, but I don't like luck, I prefer figures so I don't involve in uncalculated risk, for me a bird in hand is far worth going for an unforseen circumstances, like you will never appreciate that 1 naira in your hand until you lost it in search of 3 naira.

On hawking: I know or a pepper seller, that have been able to send her children to university and build a house using profit from what she sells, same goes for a charcoal seller. What I'm about to type is wrong to me, but let me drive my point and burst ur bubble... There is a man that hawk plantain ard first gate on lateef jakande road, when I learnt he built his house doing that, I took a second look at him, so life is relative, do yours and let other people be. Imagine what's life for someone that felt he have arrived with a daily target of 3k including his expenses, I'm not saying there is no room for improvement, but a wise soul coming from where he claimed will have some level of apprehensiveness in them and not total anticipation.

Those 10 partners do not speak for all the partners on uber/bolt .. The only regret I have is hiring a crazy, bleaching, stealing manager.. But it is part of the learning curve, when you are new in a business, people will take advantage of you..
Let the young man enjoy doing what he is doing.. Uber is for young guys out there ... I support him and at least he is not robbing people out there... now if uber is slavery what do think about those people hawking stuff on the hot sun everyday, how much do you think those guys are making... am sure guys like that if given the chance to do uber.. They will jump at it with no problem ... I will rather be doing uber than hawking stuff under the hot .. Let the young man do him...

Dont worry

You go see another one.

You would be surprised. Ask around.

Uber is 2000 and above

Bolt is 2003 and above

If you want to work on both platforms, it is best to get from 2003 and above

Earnings Breakdown
14-16hours online
Gross Earnings: 12,000
Uber commission 25% of 12, 000 = 3000
Taxify commission 15% of 12,000 = 1800

Less fuel of 2500-3000

Let's work with lowest if 2500

Therefore;
Uber Net Earnings = 6,500
Taxify Net Earnings = 7,700

Less Rental
35,000 ÷ 7 = 5000 (Daily)
30,000 ÷ 7 = 4;285.7 (Daily)

Less work with lowest again;

Uber Net Earnings = 6,500 - 4, 285.7 = 2, 214.3
Taxify Net Earnings = 7,700- 4, 285.7 = 3414.7


Feeding ( Each meal) 300 using Jesusson figure.

Morning 300
Evening 300
Total feeding 600

Uber Net = 2, 214.3 - 600 = 1, 614.3
Taxify Met = 3,414.7 - 600 = 2,814.7

Card (200)

Uber : 1,614.3 - 200 = 1,413.3
Taxify : 2,814.7 - 200 = 2,614.7

Net Profit of 14-16 hours on Uber & Taxify

UBER : 1,413.3
TAXIFY : 2, 614.7

The question now is, is it worth it to work for 14-16hrs to go home with 1,413.3 Or 2,614 at the end of the stressful long day.

Well let it be sha ... the young man reminds me of my younger days.. I was very business minded, made mistakes along the way ,and I learn from them.. So it is ok for him now , it is a start.. I will tell you for sure that he is a lot smarter than most drivers that work for me in past .. I think he would have use the opportunity very well that those drivers started with me didnt use.. And I also ask the young man to contact me but he didn't. At least he could have made an effort to contact me ,which is fine and too late ..those are the type of mistakes he will make and learn from ....never turn down a business offer until you hear the person talk.. And always keep business relationship open ..coz you will never know 2morrow ...have learn that the Nigerian business culture is backwards at times.
So basically let the young man roam ...if he is smart enough, he will learn and adapt..

Go and hawk, it seems hawking makes money than Uber

dru23:


In that bloody hot sun bro ... I think an uber driver is better off..

pope191:


Uncle! I am not holding you, I present facts, take it or leave it, no b fight, I know better than get into dirty argument.

You just send in 21k for 2days, put 10k aside for car owner, 6k for your minimum, are you telling me you use 5k for fueling, feeding and cards? Oya go put in more effort today just to prove a point, community go finish your food, best believe you no fit finish community food ask Oloye Saraki & Ambode... Life have a funny way of humbling one (I still believe u know beta, just pulling legs here).

Mind: I just got paid 100k with 35k balanced left last week for job done (driving), still got my side hustle about to do one as I am online still driving, yesterday I closed 12 noon on d dot after 7k on a 2k fuel (soft work), I can go on if u want... But the Yoruba's will say when tinz r working for u, u secretly cover ur blessing and b mindful.

Uncle if 3k is OK for you, we don here, drink water, calm down, since it seems you have gotten to a point you never imagined in life. Peace

I thought the focus is on the daily take home, not the stress/working conditions.

izzou:
So I paid my rental last night, and partner asked to see me

Got to his house, and oga started begging me that he wants to start driving it himself so he needs to terminate our contract

Has anyone experienced this before?

The truth is that Drivers start making profit from 10k.

Even if you own your car. All your earnings is not your profit.

jesusson2020:


So hawking gala is profitable than driving Uber, you are only saying this to make the business look so bad.

For car owners, pls I'm not speaking for you... I speak for drivers, we drivers have nothing to lose, we just put in our energy and make money.

I know car owner investment is huge, so I don't know if they are making money or not.
