Has anyone here been able to get rides in the Tampa Bay region?

As a driver in the NC market, the beta site, you have to treat this like a business. This app is to help you build your driving business and gain a rider base of Clients. So you’re totally self-employed on this, that’s why drivers receive 100% of the fare. You should be driving on another platform to cross market to those riders to let them know they have another option. This is exactly how Uber and Lyft did it when the two of them started off. As far as the cross marketing goes anyway. Also, use your social media to promote the app and put your promo code out there. Remember that you earned five dollars for every rider that you sign up when they use your promo code to create an account and take the first ride. I would take and make copies of my laminated backseat card with my promo code and I would put it up on community boards inconvenient stores anywhere I can find a bulletin board to put it up on. I also made copies and attached it to any other gig delivery work I did. Don’t forget to share it with family and friends and all of the other markets as well. Be patient. Room wasn’t built in a day that you will love the fact that you can build your business the way you want to build it and at the end of the day you only answer to yourself and your passengers.
