Karyna Diaz, a stay-at-home mom, has revealed her earnings from working for Uber Eats. She also shared insights into maximizing income while minimizing travel on the food delivery platform.
In a TikTok video gaining over 1.2 million views, Karyna, from Las Vegas, showcased her daily earnings of nearly $200 by completing orders on Uber Eats.
The video with the caption: 'See how much I make. Perfect side hustle as a [stay-at-home mom],'
Starting with a $7 order from Chick-fil-A for three miles, Karyna efficiently navigated through subsequent orders, earning $8 for two miles and $10 for three miles. The sequence continued with deliveries of $7 (two miles), $8 (two miles), and $5 (one mile).
After this streak of deliveries, Karyna treated herself to lunch from Starbucks, enjoying coffee and a sandwich during a brief break.
The next order is actually from Tacotarian. There are two big bags. [They are] paying $17 for six miles,' she added.
In a comment, she disclosed her usual working hours on weekends from 9 am to 5 pm, resulting in earnings ranging from $150 to $250, depending on the duration.
Summing up her day, Karyna reported a total income of $172, with a $25 expenditure on gas. Followers, intrigued by her Uber Eats experiences, commended her on the successful side hustle and sought more details about her deliveries.
One person said: You should add how much gas you lose, I remember one of my Uber drivers saying how they have to spend more than they make.
A second wrote: So the money you making is this tips or you get paid for the trip? I wanna apply but confused.
While a third commented: She earns between $150 & $200... Let's split that in the middle at $175. $175 divided by 8 hours working comes to less than $22 an hour. Minus gas, wear and tear on her vehicle...
Someone else said: That's not a lot, plus you have to consider the wear and tear on your car, but the appeal of this job would be that you work when you want and aren't beholden to a schedule.
