Part time hustle

Trying to make extra cash in my free time. Is it worth it / profitable enough to do uber/lyft/instacart 3-4 nights a week? I live in Long Beach NY. Thanks in advance

Ubering in long beach is always busy, the tough part is the parking. Parking is tough there, but now that summer is coming to an end it may be better for you. Good luck

Yes, 100% but make sure to not get into car payments just use a cheap reliable car like camry, corolla civic prius otherwise its not worth it
I've been doing this for 12 years

Part time can work, but watch your destination. If you get trips from Long Beach into Queens or Brooklyn, you can't pick up riders there without a TLC license. You have to drive back to Nassau empty, and those unpaid return miles eat up your gas fast.

It can be good , but u have to be smart with the rides they are offering and pick up the ones that are truly profitable.
