HOW TO MAKE $500 A WEEK WITH DOORDASH

Written by Sarah Edwards


Whether you need full-time work, are looking for a part-time gig or side hustle
or simply want to learn how to bring in an extra $500 per week, DoorDash may be
the answer.

This guide will tell you everything you need to know about how the DoorDash
service works and how to use it to pull in $500 or more weekly. If you want more
DoorDash tips, check out How to More Money on DoorDash. For other side gig
ideas, download MoneyLion and see other ways to earn more.


WHAT IS DOORDASH?

DoorDash Inc. is a technology-driven food delivery service that operates in over
7,000 cities across the U.S., connecting hungry patrons with local
restaurants.  

Food orders are delivered by freelance drivers known as Dashers, who only need a
smartphone and a car, scooter, or bicycle to make deliveries.

If you’re short on cash and waiting on your next paycheck, MoneyLion can help: 


WHAT DOES DOORDASH PAY?

Dashers are paid per food order delivered. The pay can fluctuate based on the
time of day, location, and number of orders.

Total payment comprises base pay for delivery, customer tips, and any regular
promotions the company runs.

Earnings can be paid: 

 * Weekly via direct deposit to your bank account
 * Daily with a Fast Pay option that requires a bank account with a linked debit
   card
 * Instantly through DasherDirect, a prepaid debit card you can apply for
   through DoorDash


HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE $500 A WEEK WITH DOORDASH?

DoorDash is among the jobs we’ve identified that can provide some quick cash
each week. Here’s how to make $500 per week with DoorDash.

According to salary data published by Indeed, the average Dasher earns $18.13
per hour. To earn $500 per week, they would need to make deliveries for roughly
four hours a day, totaling 28 hours ($18.13 x 28 = $507.64) per week.

Some drivers earn as much as $20 to $30 per hour by applying specific tips and
strategies like those mentioned below.


13 TIPS AND STRATEGIES ON HOW TO MAKE $500 A WEEK WITH DOORDASH

Without further ado, here’s a baker’s dozen income-boosting tips from seasoned
Dashers.


1. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GUARANTEED EARNING INCENTIVES

DoorDash periodically notifies Dashers of upcoming guaranteed earning
opportunities, such as “make 50 deliveries in the next week to guarantee $500 in
earnings.”

These guarantees set a floor for what you can earn that week, provided you hit
the activity target. If you earn more, you keep what you make; if you earn less,
DoorDash will make up the difference to get you to the guaranteed amount.


2. TRY THE NEW EARN-BY-TIME MODE

DoorDash recently introduced an option for Dashers to opt for an earn-by-time
mode, with a guaranteed hourly rate for making deliveries. Drivers who choose
this mode earn an hourly rate (instead of the usual base pay per delivery) plus
100% of all tips and payouts for any applicable promotions.

DoorDash assigns deliveries, and you can decline up to one assignment per hour.
You must accept all the rest or shift back to earn-by-offer mode.


3. STAY INFORMED ABOUT ANY PROMOTIONS OR BONUSES

DoorDash frequently offers promotions to be on the lookout for.

The company often gives extra cash bonuses to Dashers for completing certain
challenges in a specified timeframe. Such a challenge might be, “Complete 15
deliveries over the next three days for an extra $20.”

Another promotion type to be aware of is Peak Pay incentives. When these are in
effect, Dashers can earn more per delivery. For example, you might be able to
earn an extra $2in downtown Chicago between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

A delivery will count toward both a challenge and a peak period if they’re
running concurrently.


4. CONSIDER MULTI-APPING

Dashers have found that signing on with similar app-based services, such as Uber
Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Walmart Spark, and ParaWorks, can make
sense.

Imagine you have a delivery for DoorDash going to a certain neighborhood. At the
same time, Uber Eats and Grubhub have similar requests from either the same or
another nearby restaurant going to the same neighborhood.

In this scenario, you could dramatically increase your earnings by completing
all three deliveries in roughly the same time it would have taken you to
complete just one with DoorDash alone.


5. FIND THE MOST POPULAR RESTAURANTS AND HOTSPOTS

If you want to catch fish, go where they’re biting. If you want to make good
money as a Dasher, go where the business is.

A corporate park may be bustling with lunch deliveries, while dinner will likely
be hotter in residential areas. DoorDash highlights clusters of popular
restaurants so you can position your delivery activities in or near a hotspot —
or two, if you can get it.


6. ACCEPT GROUP ORDERS

DoorDash offers the chance to deliver “batched” orders from the same restaurants
for delivery as a group or in quick succession along the route to delivery for
the first order. Dashers can increase their per-delivery payment by accepting
these additional offers.


7. WORK DURING PEAK HOURS AND ON WEEKENDS

It should come as no surprise that the high-demand periods are during the week
at lunch and dinnertime and over the weekends. To be on track to make $500 per
week as a Dasher, you’ll want to take full advantage of these peak times.


8. BE SELECTIVE WITH THE ORDERS YOU ACCEPT

As a Dasher, there’s a definite benefit to only taking those deliveries that
make the most sense for you.

Working with a restaurant where you have a good relationship, delivering to more
familiar neighborhoods, and accepting larger orders with potentially higher tips
are all excellent ways to be more efficient and profitable.


9. DELIVER ON YOUR WAY HOME

Seasoned Dashers recommend using the trip home to get in one last delivery.

Assuming that the average order is around $30, and the average tip for delivery
is in the 15% to 20% range, delivering one extra order that’s on your route home
can equate to a $4.50 to $6 tip. Do that for four days and you could end up with
an extra $18 to $25 per week. After four weeks, you’ll have made an additional
$72 to $100.


10. TEST DIFFERENT MARKETS

When you’re getting started, it’s wise to try delivering in different areas at
different times to learn which locations work best for you.

Make a list of places you think might be hotspots, then rotate through them over
several different days and times and narrow down the zones that work best for
you.  


11. PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE

Tips will play a big role if you want to earn $500 per week or more routinely.
To generate above-average tips, you need to provide exceptional service — be on
time, smile, and offer extra touches like greeting customers by name when
possible.


12. TRACK YOUR INCOME AND EXPENSES

There are two main reasons to track your income and expenses as a Dasher.

The first is to see when and where you’re making the most money. This will go a
long way toward helping you pick the right hotspots to cover in the future. The
second is that, as an independent contractor, you’re responsible for tracking
income and expenses for tax purposes.


13. ADOPT A BUSINESSMAN’S MINDSET

As a Dasher, you’re essentially in business for yourself. Apply that mentality
to every decision you make and invest your time and resources to maximize
earnings and minimize expenses.


DASH YOUR WAY TO $500 A WEEK

When you implement the tips and strategies outlined here, you’ll be well on your
way to pulling in a minimum of $500 a week with DoorDash.

Dash on!
