Notes from Chris

Episode 2167
Today’s caller wants to drive for Uber Eats, Door Dash, and Postmates—but it’s not what you think. He’s not looking for a new part-time job, he wants to collect the bonuses that each service offers, then quit.

That’s because these companies are all about getting people to jump ship from one service to another, and then of course trying to get them to stay.

Longtime listeners know that I want to help you create real income, not just get those part-time jobs—but is our caller on to a smart strategy?
"I'm wondering about driving for Door Dash—but it's not what you think. I don't want to do it for long, I just want to do it long enough to get the bonus for new drivers. Then I want to do it for UberEats, Postmates, and any other services.

Is there anything wrong with this? I know that driving for these companies isn't a great longterm play, but I figure if I can get the bonuses it makes the introductory pay much higher, and then I can quit. Let me know if you've heard of anyone else doing this or if you have any pointers."
