Book excerpt: NEW RELEASE 2019 You are thinking about being an Uber driver and/or Lyft driver but you still have questions... let's cut right to the chase. This book, The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less doesn't waste any time repeating content found on the Uber and Lyft websites... all of the book's content is dedicated to helping you have a successful rideshare driving business; earning maximum income; with no stress. There are other rideshare driving books on Amazon. Why buy this book? For that matter why buy a book at all? Why not just go to the Uber/Lyft website, sign up, qualify, then go out and drive? From the author: "If rideshare driving is such a great 'gig' then why do 50% of new drivers quit less than 30 days after their first trip as a driver? At the end of a year over 90% have stopped being a rideshare driver!" The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less is well-researched and professionally-written thanks in part to the author's 15+ years' experience in corporate America as a data analyst; technical writer; training content developer; as well as a technical training presenter and training coach. www.linkedin.com/in/wyleepost The content of "The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less" is drawn from the author's real-world experiences driving for Uber and Lyft in Denver, Colorado since April of 2016 and completing over 11,000 trips as a driver. Why buy this book? There are other books on Amazon, some claiming to tell you everything you need to know about driving for Uber and Lyft. With any non-fiction book the background and experience of the author is the most important factor to consider. Rideshare drivers with a lot of experience are extremely proud of their lifetime trip number. If the author of a book is not telling you their number of lifetime trips, then the number is probably not impressive? Would you buy a book about how to be an airplane pilot from someone who just got their license to fly solo? Again, why buy this book rather than one of the other rideshare driving books on Amazon? Good technical writing is difficult. Presenting technical topics in an understandable and easy-to-digest format takes years of practice in a professional environment. Without experience and background in technical writing and training content development it's unlikely an author's book is going to deliver hard-hitting content. Another important factor to consider is the author's life experience... It might sound impressive that an author use to be an engineer or some other profession which suggests an intelligent person... but think about it... how does being an engineer or being single-focused on any unrelated profession prepare an author for writing good content on a different subject... especially if the author has very little real-world experience on the new subject? This book: The Business of Rideshare Driving - Earn More, Stress Less And the companion book: The Business of Rideshare Driving - Calculating (Your) Profits Provide the previously missing rideshare driver "Employee Success Manuals" and they are laser-focused on helping new and existing drivers realize the claim of rideshare driving being "The Ultimate Side Gig."

Sample Book Insights: #1 Being an Uber driver isn’t as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of hard work and skills to be an Uber driver, and only a few make it past the difficulties. #2 As a rideshare driver, you’re a 1099 independent contractor, which means you’ll be responsible for all your expenses and file a Schedule C at tax time. However, this shouldn't scare you since I'll help you stay ahead of the game when it comes to taxes and reporting. #3 Rideshare drivers put a lot of miles on their cars. A full-time driver can easily do a thousand miles a week or more, and if you subtract the cost of gas from your earnings, you’ll see that your net earnings can be significantly lower than the $459. 18 shown in the table. #4 The ultimate flexibility, Uber allows you to make money on a whim. However, most people don't need this flexibility. You'll want to work enough to get in a rhythm and start earning decent money.

Download or read book Uberland written by Alex Rosenblat and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon Valley technology is transforming the way we work, and Uber is leading the charge. An American startup that promised to deliver entrepreneurship for the masses through its technology, Uber instead built a new template for employment using algorithms and Internet platforms. Upending our understanding of work in the digital age, Uberland paints a future where any of us might be managed by a faceless boss. The neutral language of technology masks the powerful influence algorithms have across the New Economy. Uberland chronicles the stories of drivers in more than twenty-five cities in the United States and Canada over four years, shedding light on their working conditions and providing a window into how they feel behind the wheel. The book also explores Uber’s outsized influence around the world: the billion-dollar company is now influencing everything from debates about sexual harassment and transportation regulations to racial equality campaigns and labor rights initiatives. Based on award-winning technology ethnographer Alex Rosenblat’s firsthand experience of riding over 5,000 miles with Uber drivers, daily visits to online forums, and face-to-face discussions with senior Uber employees, Uberland goes beyond the headlines to reveal the complicated politics of popular technologies that are manipulating both workers and consumers.

Download or read book Spent behind the Wheel written by Julietta Hua and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring professional passenger driving and the gig economy through feminist theories of labor Are taxi drivers in today’s era of the ride-hail app performing care work akin to domestic and household labor? So argue the authors of Spent behind the Wheel. Bringing together sociological and legal perspectives with feminist theoretical insights, Julietta Hua and Kasturi Ray examine the case study of contemporary professional passenger driving in the United States. On the one hand, they show, the rise of the gig economy has brought new attention to the industry of professional passenger driving. On the other hand, the vulnerabilities that professional drivers experience remain hidden. Drawing on interviews with drivers, labor organizers, and members of licensing commissions, as well as case law and other published resources, Hua and Ray argue that working for ride-hail companies like Uber and Lyft shares similarities with driving for taxi companies in the impact on driver lives. Lyft and Uber sell the idea of industry disruption, but in fact they entrench long-standing modes of extracting the reproductive labor of their drivers for the benefit of consumer lives. Reproductive labor—conventionally understood as feminized labor—is extracted, but masked, behind the masculinized, racialized bodies of drivers. Professional driving is thus best understood alongside domestic and other gendered service work as reproductive labors devalued and often demonetized to benefit the national economy. Spent behind the Wheel is a must for readers interested in critical studies of technological change and the gig economy, showing how drivers’ capacities are drained for the benefit of riders, corporations, and the maintenance of the racial state.

Download or read book Buzz Ride written by P. M. White and published by Lake Claremont Press: A Chicago Joint. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Darkly Comedic Coming of (Middle) Age Adventure - Why would a financially-comfortable, fifty-something father of two-with a Mercedes-drive Uber late at night on the toughest streets of Chicago? Pat White (pseudonym), a financial advisor and business strategist, decided to go undercover to research how the disruptive technology of ridesharing affects commerce. Soon his business study warped into a study of humanity . . . and himself. This reserved Baby Boomer first had to face his fear of picking up strangers in his own car and driving them to unknown locations. Most were over-privileged, over-served Millennials in route to their next adrenaline rush or wherever they were crashing for the night. Some treated him like he was invisible--making out, arguing, discussing sex and drugs, and lying to lovers on the phone about their whereabouts as if no one else were in the car. Others wished him to partake in their partying or craved his counsel on the most intimate details of their lives. Still others were just looking to pick a fight. Rarer were the tired and the timid: those returning to family after working long hours with hopes of a brighter tomorrow, those fleeing abuse, and those just fleeing a thunderstorm. This summer experiment took White down roads he never imagined he would travel. Soon he found himself embracing danger, longing for the thrill of voyeuristic glimpses into private lives made public, and facing the depths of his shadow personality. Come along for the bumpy ride as this sharp-tongued observer shares the always wild, sometimes dark, often humorous, and surprisingly touching side of Chicago nightlife in the smart-phone generation. Hop into the Back of Patrick's Silver Benz and Buckle Up!

Download or read book The Cold Start Problem written by Andrew Chen and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startup executive and investor draws on expertise developed at the premier venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and as an executive at Uber to address how tech’s most successful products have solved the dreaded "cold start problem”—by leveraging network effects to launch and scale toward billions of users. Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Startups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of “the network effect,” where a product or service’s value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them, whether they’re messaging apps, workplace collaboration tools, or marketplaces. Network effects provide a path for fledgling products to break through, attracting new users through viral growth and word of mouth. Yet most entrepreneurs lack the vocabulary and context to describe them—much less understand the fundamental principles that drive the effect. What exactly are network effects? How do teams create and build them into their products? How do products compete in a market where every player has them? Andrew Chen draws on his experience and on interviews with the CEOs and founding teams of LinkedIn, Twitch, Zoom, Dropbox, Tinder, Uber, Airbnb, and Pinterest to offer unique insights in answering these questions. Chen also provides practical frameworks and principles that can be applied across products and industries. The Cold Start Problem reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are vitally important today.

Now streaming – Only on SHOWTIME. Named one of the best books of the year by NPR, Fortune, Bloomberg, Sunday Times A New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice “If you want to understand modern-day Silicon Valley, you need to read this book.” —John Carreyrou, New York Times best-selling author of Bad Blood Hailed as the definitive book on Uber and Silicon Valley, Super Pumped is an epic story of ambition and deception, obscene wealth, and bad behavior that explores how blistering technological and financial innovation culminated in one of the most catastrophic twelve-month periods in American corporate history. Backed by billions in venture capital dollars and led by a brash and ambitious founder, Uber promised to revolutionize the way we move people and goods through the world. What followed would become a corporate cautionary tale about the perils of startup culture and a vivid example of how blind worship of startup founders can go wildly wrong.

Download or read book The Untold Exploitation of Rideshare Drivers and Riders written by George Inuen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Inuen highlights how rideshare drivers and other gig workers are taken advantage of and abused by digital platform operators who pay menial wages in this scholarly work. The abuse on the part of these companies is so bad, he argues, that it is akin to the master-slave relationship of the colonial era, with the people at the top relying on a pool of slave labor at the bottom. Over and over, these rideshare drivers and other gig workers are exploited. Throughout this book, the author highlights the false promises of economic prosperity that digital taxi platforms have made to their drivers. In reality, they have delivered the opposite: economic hardship, poverty, and harsh labor conditions. He also examines why lawmakers and governmental agencies have not stepped in to protect hardworking taxpayers. Join the author as he urges the ridesharing companies to change their ways and join him in calling for them to be brought to justice.
