>>One last note,
because you are
a partner with Uber,
you really are the boss.
You're responsible for all
aspects of your business
and you get
the benefits as well.
One of the benefits for partners is
driving more trips unlocks rewards.
Through Uber,
you can get discounted
financial planning services,
car care options,
and many other offers.
You can save money
by taking advantage of these rewards.
To learn more,
check out the ratings tab
on the partner app
or the partner website under "Rewards."
Before the
rewards kick in,
you need to know
how you'll be getting paid.
You can keep track
on your fares on both
the Uber website
and on the Uber partner app.
When you get paid
depends on where you work
and sometimes you have a choice.
For example,
in the U.S. you can
get paid weekly
via direct deposit
or set up an
instant pay option.
The partner help site
is also a great resource.
Outside of Uber,
you can take control
of your business by
keeping your paperwork in order
and logging your expenses properly.
In some places,
you can just get in your car and go,
but in others you will need
special permits or licenses.
Check your
local Uber website
to determine
what is required.
You can log
your expenses the old fashioned way
using a paper and pen,
or any number of apps.
You can also use an app
like MileIQ to really account
for all your driving miles,
not just when a rider is in the car.
We actually recommend
you get a tax advisor or use
a trusted service
like Intuit or H&R Block
so you get
the maximum number
of write-offs
when tax season rolls around.
Since you are
running your own business,
those write-offs
can really add up.
For example,
basic operating costs
like vehicle expenses
or your phone plan may be
things you can report.
Any extras you keep
in your car for riders,
like candy or water,
are 100% deductible.
Think even further
outside of the box.
If you download
an app like Yelp,
you can use it to see
which restuarants in your area
are highly rated.
If a rider is using an app
like Uber to get to dinner,
they're probably using
an app like Yelp to figure out
where they want to eat.
This is also
an excellent way
to expand your
knowledge of your city's hot spots.
Uber is an exciting opportunity
to make money and expand
your skills as a business owner.
You get to decide
when you want to work,
where you'll start driving,
and how long your day is.
You really are the boss.
