8. Drive people around in your car
Driving for Uber is a simple way to earn extra money when you’re not in at the office and, side note, you can work while heading to and from your traditional place of business. The carpooling option makes it easy for you to find passengers that are going in the same direction as you.
But with so many drivers out there on the streets, how can you stand out and keep your ratings high? Being a people-person goes without saying, so here are some other techniques you could employ.
Make sure you always have chargers ready for your passengers. Bottles of water, sweets or snacks are also a clever way to gain their attention and guarantee tips. Finally, ask them if they have any music preferences and then whip out the perfect playlist for their tastes.
At the end of the ride make sure to remind them to leave an honest rating. Asking for five stars might put them off, so avoid doing that. After all is said and done, when they give you your stars they could also offer a tip. That’s how you’ll know all your hard work has paid off.
