In this episode of MyRideShare Coach, I discuss the dreaded phenomenon that occurs when potential new drivers stop to over evaluate their decision to follow through with their application and get on the road as quickly as possible.  Short version. You're losing out on money.  

Scheduled pickups lets you claim rides in advance by adding them to a personalized list of pickups. You can see estimated earnings when available and approximate pickup and drop off locations in advance. You must sign in and accept your scheduled pickup in the designated time frame. Lyft will send you a notification when it's time to open the app, go online, and start heading to the rider's pickup location.

In this episode of MyRideShare Coach, I discuss how the data Lyft has collected from it's market research over the month's and years of operation is converted in to extremely helpful information for you, the driver.  You do not have to guess when the best times are to drive. The company provides that information for you. This incredible info is waiting for you under the Earning tab in the driver app.  Take a listen and be sure to add this helpful trick to your toolbox. Remember:  act like a driver, but think like a boss!

In this episode of MyRideShare Coach, I discuss one of the reasons many applicants choose not to move forward and become drivers.  As it turns out, they started their application because they were looking for a job.  Once they find employment, they don't see the need to continue their driver application.   If ridesharing was a job, I could understand, but it's not.  This is probably the most unique business opportunity you have ever seen.  

This is the most important episode of the MyRideShare Coach Podcast to date.  I am sharing the biggest mistake that I have seen potential, new and experienced driver make.  Take a listen and take an opportunity to take your understanding of driving for Lyft or Uber to a completely different level!  No one in the market is talking about any of this.  It's time to pull back the curtain and find out what makes the most successful drivers tick.

Although many will think this is something that everyone should already have done, I still come across people who either neglect or do not know how to set up their method of payment. This episode will go through a quick tutorial about how to set up your payment as a Lyft Driver.

In this episode of MyRideShare Coach, I discuss the simplicity as well as the power behind the use of text messaging.  It is an essential part of communicating with your passengers. There will be times when calling your passenger becomes a challenge because you are unable to hear each other, due to noise.  Texting will allow you to create and maintain an addition line of communication with you passengers.  This goes a long way to make sure that they know that you are on the job and that you know of any changes or additional information that will assist in a smooth pick up!

In this episode I discuss the simple act of calling your passenger. There will be times when, as a driver, you will be devoid of certain pieces of information. Specifically, there will be times when you are going to be given an apartment to drive to and you will have trouble reading the numbers on the building or you will be taken to the leasing office for a complex instead of the exact address. There are also times when you will be given a range of addresses and simply put, the information is unclear.   The most proactive thing you can do to ensure your success is to call the passenger and create a line of communication so that they know that you are on your way and that you know exactly where to pick them up from. 

In this episode of MyRideshare Coach, I go into a little more detail when it came to the nervous feeling I had before I started giving Lyft rides. I had done all my paperwork and was approved, but I was still a bit nervous. Fortunately I made my way through it and I am very hopeful that you will as well! More importantly, I hope that the experience I had, and now sharing, will help you to move past that feeling both here and in other parts of your life.

In this episode of MyRideshare Coach, I discuss three basic keys to success for any new driver. Keeping a clean car, making sure it smells good and using a phone mount will jumpstart your efforts to become a success at ridesharing!
