LYFT... MY FIRST WEEK

Here's the report on my first week with Lyft. I appreciate the comprehensive breakdown that is given... there's some good intel here for drivers. A new driver can definitely start to put together a game plan based on the data given in the weekly report.

I'm pleased with the results as well. I think the two bonuses worth noting here are the Driver Referral and the Power Driver Bonus.

Driver Referral is the sign up bonus that is available to both the new driver and the driver who referred him. In my city, this bonus can be up to $500 extra in the first two months of driving. I scored $260 this week, and I finished out the $500 in week two.

Power Driver Bonus is more interesting, because it is not a temporary sign up bonus. This bonus is available every single week, based upon the number of trips the driver accepts & completes. In Louisville KY, this bonus could either be $50, $100, $140, or $260 EACH WEEK (in addition to the regular check).

There are other features on the Lyft app that make the driving experience very customizable for the individual... so far, my income for the time worked has been very satisfactory!

By the way, if you're interested in Lyft, I'll be glad to help you any way that I possibly can!! My referral code is h2ejv.

MY FIRST DAY WITH LYFT...

So, it's been a while since I posted anythingto this blog. Uber has been going great, and I really haven't had much else to say...

Well, today, I just completed my first day driving with Lyft.

The referral, sign up bonus is noteworthy. With Uber, there's a pretty good sign up bonus in my city, including a $1000 earnings guarantee in the first 30 days. The only challenge is, any Uber bonus comes at the end of the qualification... so, AFTER you complete 125 trips, Uber will add whatever bonus is coming your way.

Lyft is a little different. They offer, in my city, a $500 bonus for the first 125 trips. However, rather than wait until you complete the qualification, Lyft will pay you a little bit at a time! For each trip (up to the first 125 trips), I am getting an extra $4... for EACH TRIP!

That is actually pretty awesome. If you do 120 of the 125 trips with Uber, you don't get the bonus. If youdo 120 of the 125 trips with Lyft... you get 120 × $4 or 480 bucks!!!

Both Lyft and Uber have their advantages for sure...
If you choose to sign up, my referral code for both is h2ejv.

And, as usual, I'm always willing to share any helpful intel!!

Great Job Lisa!

Here's a plug for one of my fantastic clients! If you're in the Louisville Kentucky area, be sure to contact her for your legal needs!

Lisa Thalmann, Attorney at Law…

“I practice solely in Indiana courts [Southern Indiana, near Louisville Kentucky]. My areas of practice are primarily Criminal Defense, Family Law (including child protective services) and Chapter 7 Bankruptcies for residents in Southern Indiana.  I obtained my law degree from Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at UofL 2001. I have been in private practice since 2003 and prior to that I was a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and Director of the Child Support Division out of Clark County Indiana.

My motivation to become a lawyer was to represent people who would prefer not to have a public defender but who also cannot pay the excessive retainer fees that most attorneys tend to charge up front. I wanted to make a difference in the Black community because all too often, our fathers,sons, and husbands wind up with felony convictions and incarceration.

I also am cognizant of people who are underprivileged and who have limited finances no matter their ethnicity and too often, these people end up settling for [public defenders] because of their financial situations. I usually work out a payment plan with my clients if after speaking with them it is determined they have limited resources.

I can be reached at this cell phone number, (812) 572-7407 or via Facebook (Lisa Harris Thalmann).”

Employee Vs. Independent Contractor... Hmm.

One of the appealing factors of driving with Uber is the independent aspect of it... the tagline of my first Uber book is "Treat It Like a Business" and Other Tips to Good Income (notice it is not Treat It Like a Job...)

However, I found a interesting little article about the push to make Uber drivers employees in some states...

Check it out!

Game... Set... Match...

As I was gearing up for my evening's work, I had the opportunity to finish the wrap-up of the women's quarterfinal at the US OPEN tennis tournament...

#1 Ranked Serena Williams VS. (Big Sister) #23 Ranked Venus Williams!

Venus Williams is my girl! And, she gave her little sister a run for the money... but Serena was just too much for Big Sister! Serena won the match in three sets...

I have a bit of an "underdog" sensibility. And, I have such tremendous respect for what Venus has accomplished in the sport... I was pulling for her, and I hope she has another win or two, before she calls it quits...

But, wow, look at that Serena! With the win tonight, she advances to the semifinal. And, she is on track for a grand slam... winning all four tennis majors in a single year!

Serena's match point... an effective "Ace!" against her older sister... was bittersweet, to be sure...

For Serena, the victory is in sight! For Venus, there is always next year (at least, I hope so!)...

And for me, time to hit the streets... let the games begin.

STOUT BURGERS... GOOD STUFF!!

Recently, one of my passengers was the owner of STOUT, a new burger & beer joint in Louisville KY...

We had a good conversation. He invited me to check out the new place.

I just had lunch there today...

The burger ($13 bucks!) had great flavor! The beer was good. And the atmosphere was cool...
