Gig & delivery

Delivery, rideshare, and task apps — with fuel, wait time, and platform fees stripped out.

Time: 5–25 hrs/wk Capital: $0–$200 Typical band: $8–$28/hr net

We show net ranges when we can: fees, gas, ads, and tax set-asides matter more than app screenshots.
Time is a cost. A $30/hr gig that needs 90 minutes of unpaid waiting is not a $30/hr gig.
If a hustle only works with unpaid inventory, unpaid learning, or unpaid customer service, we say so.
