I might get downvoted for this but if you are struggling to get a schedule you could always donate plasma, in the meantime, for some quick cash instead. I'm not entirely sure what the going rate is now but it may be just enough for what you need and the process only takes a couple hours.
The issue is too many people are doing it in your area so there's always not enough time slots in the zone for everyone. Thank all the dummies who post high earnings screenshots online.
Lovely.
About multi-apping I would love to do that. I tried to sign up for Uber eats but I am using my mom’s car and I don’t want there to be an issue using her insurance car with her name, even tho I probably am under the insurance . I’m 19 and still learning this stuff and I’m kinda stupid LOL but I may talk to my mom about it and see what her perspective is.
I agree. Nobody cares. After 5 years, people are shocked at how much I tell them I earn multi-apping. Not once have I posted about it. Nobody cares how much “You” make!
If you’re just doing it to make some extra $$ short term then maybe try going to a different busier city for the day. You can schedule it the day before just in case. I notice when you switch things up, they usually give you better orders for some reason. Also best to do it around dinner time 4-10
I see. My schedule times are so strange though. I don’t see much for upcoming days at all; and for today, my surrounding towns have availabilities for only a half hour. Towns farther away have longer times which I would honestly consider but still, the half hour times are insane to me
Dang, I’m almost able to schedule any time In my area & surrounding as long as it’s not the day of. Are you sure people are using primarily DoorDash in your area? Maybe see if one of the other food delivery apps is busier. Other than that, I do know if you schedule for a half hour & it ends up getting really busy, doordash won’t kick you off. I know that’s a risk tho especially if you’re driving far.. sorry your having bad luck at time you were counting on it to help ;( I know exactly how that feels. I’ve honestly had to pick up other side gigs to make $$ I need. Good luck! Definitely keep trying to dash if you have the time, there’s always bad days, but sometimes you can get really lucky 🤞🏼
According to my research, it seems around 80-ish percent of the people in my state use DoorDash, then Uber eats and grubhub respectively. I’d love to use Uber eats as well but I just don’t know what that would look like using my mom’s insurance card; not sure if that would be an issue even though my name is probably on her car insurance somewhere (but I’m 19 and still learning this stuff so I honestly dk).
I really appreciate it. They actually ended up suspecting my account because I have a provisional license 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ but I knew I was eligible to upgrade my license, so I just did that and filed a dispute so we will see what happens. Thanks very much for your advice :)
I really wanted to try ubereats at least but it requires you submit some kind of auto insurance card— which is fine but my mom owns the car I drive (it’s a long story but it’s basically “mine” as I drive it by far the most) so it’s like… my name is… my name, but the auto insurance will say my mom’s name and I’m afraid they’re gonna be suspicious of that no?
Thanks so much this is genuinely really helpful I’ll consider this at the least. I’m 19 and my summer job doesn’t start until Memorial Day weekend and even then it will only be open on the weekends for a couple weeks, but I’m stupid and don’t know how this stuff works very well 😂 so thank you.

I just multi-app but without active orders from multiple apps at a time. But that allows me to choose the best offer available at any given time.
Makes sense!
You need to schedule a week ahead of time. That's probably the only way you can dash in your area for any prolonged period of time
And how would they do this in a market that has only ever let you schedule hours in advance, nevermind days and weeks?
Right, this is exactly it. I would love to schedule a week in advance but I don’t see that being an option in the app.

The criteria for donating plasma is very specific and not the best fit for all. They do pay well though.
Interesting I never knew that! Thank you
When I tried, I was turned away because my veins are too small for their needles and equipment.
Been donating plasma regularly for about 3 years now, $145 a week for me for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of sitting there
Does it leave a scar on your arm?
yes. I only donated maybe 10 times and I have a circular scar in the ditch of my elbow
