Ways to make money in this society
There are many ways to make money in the society. One way in particular is through the gig economy. There are several companies that offer work through the gig economy, most of which will earn you $15 to $25 an hour - while also being available to people who may not have a college education, even a high school diploma isn't required to work these various gigs. With this being the case, companies offering work with little to no requirements to begin millions of workers have started working this industry. Even though millions of people have started working in this economy of Rideshare jobs and gig work there still opportunity for you to be a part of it. The best part of these jobs within this industry is the flexibility to work at essentially any hour of the day or night, you could be a college student and make money or you could have a full-time job and earn extra cash on the weekend. Most of these types of jobs and independent contract work require you to have a vehicle; although some of them do not require you to have a vehicle and you could do various tasks via motorcycle, bicycle, or even walking such as deliver food from Uber Eats or Postmates, or pick up and charge at home BIRD Scooters or Lime-S scooters.
Nowadays there really isn't any excuse for someone to not have a job unless you live in a very rural area without access to places where the gig economy is thriving. Although, even if you don't have access to popular areas where the gig economy is thriving you still could go out and mow lawns or something like that.
If you own a car that is model year within the last 8 years with 4 doors, have a clean driving record, have the ability to pass a background check, and are familiar with your area driving wise then I recommend you sign up to be a Lyft or Uber driver. On the slow hours you can make $10 to $15 an hour and the busy times making up to $30 an hour. With an average income of $25 to $30 hourly when you factor bonuses, after taxes and expenses such as gas maintenance you're looking at a more realistic hourly income of $18 primarily if you're working 40 to 50 hours a week. This type of work is perfect for someone who may have basic or no education, and also comes in clutch for someone who has a lot of education but have had a hard time finding well-paying work. I personally drive for Lyft, when I put the time in I usually make over a thousand dollars a week - which is pretty great considering I do not have a college degree. It's not the most easiest type of work in the world considering you have to deal with people, especially at times when they may have been drinking and are a little frustrating to deal with. For the most part I've had no issues with riders, out of over 2,000 rides driven I have only had two experiences that were frustrating enough to report the rider for misconduct.
Another frustrating part about driving for a Rideshare company like Lyft or Uber is that they do not offer much training you essentially have to figure it out on your own, although if you have access to YouTube like almost everyone does you could look up videos on other people's experience and they can shed light on what it's like to work driving for a Rideshare company. If you want to learn more you can contact me through the comment section and we can talk about my experience and I can help guide you through the sign up process.
I look forward to hearing from you have a great day.

What do you need to start making extra cash?
The easiest way to make extra money monthly is to live in a busy populated area, have a vehicle, and sign up to be a contractor for app companies like Lyft - Uber - Postmates - Bird - Limebike - AmazonFlex some of these companies do background checks so if you have a sketchy history then they may not work out. The scooter charger jobs have the loose requirements where almost anyone can become a worker for them and make up to $100 a day charging scooters.
If you have a vehicle is good condition, a clean driving record, and pass a background check than you can become a rideshare driver for Lyft or Uber and make $150 daily.
If you are a hard worker who can put in the time and dedication to the job you can bring in $3,000 gross monthly working these contract work jobs.
If you can fit the requirements to do these jobs, than you could buy some lawn equipment and mow your neighbors lawns and bring in $100 daily for an honest days work.

San Diego Side Job Charging Scooters
There are many ways to make extra money in San Diego, and one great way to generate $100 extra income daily is by charging those pesky little electric scooters all across San Diego California. BIRD and LIME-S are two companies that have scooters throughout California, they have open opportunities to have independent contractors charge the scooters every night and release them in the morning at various places in hot spots in the area.You can make an easy $60 from LIME-S for charging 10-12 scooters, and another $60-80 from BIRD by charging another 10-12 scooters. The income opportunities are high for doing this work, it's simple and easy. You go out between 7-10pm and scoop up the scooters, charge them at home and switch between the scooters as they become fully charged, then go drop them off between 4-7am the next morning.
Simple money for fairly easy work. It can become fairly competitive finding the scooters, since there are many different people out and about looking for these little money makers. If you are fast and focused you can succeed at this venture of money making.
Good luck hunting!
Lime-S Dynamic Pricing
Attention Lime-S Chargers, the company has shifted away from flat rate charger pricing from $5 per scooter to now integrate higher rates up to $10 per scooter - dynamic pricing based on charge levels and difficulty in picking up the scooter. This is a fantastic change that will allow people who charge scooters to make more cash. Starting out with only three chargers you will likely be limited to only charging up to 12 scooters per night, which is slightly annoying since the company advertises charging up to 20 scooters and making up to $100+ daily. As consistency in charging the scooters is developed people will be provided more chargers and more scooters can be captured and charged daily.
This new update in pricing has made becoming a scooter charger for Lime-S more lucrative and worthwhile for people to work for the company as an independent contractor. The rates are more inline with what BIRD offers to charge scooters, between $7-20 per scooter.
The downfall for Lime scooters compared to BIRD scooters is the size, Lime scooters are slightly more bulky and less nimble - making it more difficult to transport scooters in a car. Although if you have a truck than it makes little difference.
Happy hunting fellow chargers!

BIRD Scooter Charger and Mechanic Work
In various areas such as San Diego California there are last mile transportation companies like BIRD, Lime-S, and multiple bicycle rental companies that you can rent a ride from, these companies offer affordable rides that you can essentially leave anywhere after your done with them. BIRD is the specific company that I will be talking about in this article, BIRD offers electric motor scooters for rent which can be found almost anywhere in popular areas.
The way this company works is through utilizing a network of independent contractors who are tasked to go out and charge the scooters when the batteries are running low as well as after 9pm or 10pm all the scooters are available for pick up to charge - after charging the scooters they are required to be dropped off at various locations by 7am the following day.
The contractors are paid between $5-$15 per scooter for charging services. The company provides three scooter chargers to start and provide more after you consistently charge scooters. In addition to chargers BIRD selects contractors to have an opportunity to transition from charger to mechanic to go out and repair minor issues with the damaged scooters. To become a mechanic you have to be offered the opportunity from the company and then take classes online with videos and short tests about what you learn to get approved - then a phone interview from the company.
After approved you are shipped all the necessary equipment to fix scooters, then your account switches from charger to mechanic - you cannot be both charger and mechanic, only one or the other. To charge scooters the rates were originally $20 per scooter than a few weeks after the program started rates were reduced to $15 per scooter repaired and $5 paid for ones that are taken to the local warehouse because it is unable to be fixed.
So far it seems as though being a charger is a better route than a mechanic, because of the availability of scooters is much higher for charging instead of repairing.

I recently signed up for charging BIRD scooters, and have been doing it for a few days. Within the last few days I have discovered that some people attempt to cheat the system and hoard non available scooters within houses and wait till the price of charging the scooters rise from $7 up to $20 to find, capture, charge, and the release the next day. If people do this on a regular basis the cost of charging a possibly unused scooter can rise to over $140 per week. This seems like an unsustainable situation for the company to make a profit. **Starting May 24th 2018 this loophole has been closed, if scooters are moved before being captured the are locked from being captured**
Even at standard rates, every BIRD scooter becomes available for pick up to charge nightly at $7-$10 per scooter, if the scooter is unused regularly the scooter costs BIRD $210-$300 or more monthly. It seems as though BIRD is not making a profit, the company is likely just buying market share to grow rapidly even though it's losing money per scooter.

It seems as though BIRD is not making a profit, the company is likely just buying market share to grow rapidly even though it's losing money per scooter.
What I've learned working for BIRD:
- The company rents out scooters for $1 to start and $0.15 per minute.
- Scooters are widely available in various markets, I'm in San Diego specifically the community of North Park.
- When the scooters have a low battery it has independent contractors pick them up to charge for $7
- After 9pm all scooters are available for pick up to charge, for various rates $7, $10, $15, $20 depending upon difficulty in finding the scooters.
- Picked up scooters that need to be released the next day between 4am-7am to get paid.
- The recently opened up independent contractor positions to go and pick up damaged scooters to repair for $20 per scooter. **Prices have been reduced to $15 to fix and $5 to drop off un-fixable scooters at the companies warehouse** Fixes include adjusting brakes, changing tire tubes, and making other adjustments.
- Repair technicians cannot also charge scooters - you can only be a charger or a mechanic.
- Some people attempt to cheat the system, although BIRD doesn't always pay out if it seems like someone is cheating.
- Someone who charges scooters can easily make $100+ per day
- Someone who fixes scooters can likely make over $60+ daily.
- Lost scooters sometimes will pair with the phone of the last one who scanned the QR code, which then follows that person around as it the phone is the scooter.
- The app is glitchy.

So far it's a pretty simple straightforward process to work for BIRD charging scooters, and it seems easy to do the repairs (I receive the equipment to do repairs today).
If you want to make some extra money this is a great way to do it, so if BIRD is in your market you should consider becoming a scooter charger!
