What Other Gig Workers Are Saying
Jonas B (Salt Lake City, UT)
"I’m pretty sure it [Contributor Program] can help others being able to earn or increase their earnings along the way...the application process was easy. With Mike's experience, and also most importantly his passion of doing what he does, you can count on him to master the gig economy with confidence." (10,000+ delivery Dasher)
Michael D. (Boston, MA)
"The Contributor Program is a great addition to Your Driver Mike’s YouTube show. As being only his second guest doing it I was very comfortable and he was very professional and free flowing & natural interview. Great way to learn different side hustles not just rideshare to make additional money in the gig economy. Thank you Mike!!"
Jennifer S. (Pittsburgh, PA)
"Mike’s contributor program is so seamless. And talking to Mike, he’s so down to earth. Just like you and me. The interaction is fantastic. And it’s great for the average gig worker to share their knowledge. This is a great way to help each other out. I would work again with Mike in a heartbeat."
Jason K. (Washington, DC)
"I had a great conversation with "Your Driver Mike," sharing my firsthand experience as a professional washer with both Hampr and Poplin. We discussed the ins and outs of the platforms, from the flexibility and freedom they offer to the unique challenges of maintaining high standards in a fast-paced gig economy. It was nice to talk to someone who understands the ins and outs of the gig economy and a wide variety of gigs that are available to us, while being paid for my insights."
Jim C. (Albuquerque, NM)
"It's always a pleasure speaking with someone else who understands life as a gig worker. Being able to share from my own experience is always valuable, and even more so getting paid to do it from a seat that doesn't bounce around. I look forward to our next conversation!"
Tom D. (Elizabeth, NJ)
"I enjoyed the opportunity to help Mike and the gig-economy at-large by sharing my real-world experiences and insights via the Contributor Program. Mike's doing great work. He's helping us drivers stay connected and not feel that we're out here all alone. I'm happy to be part of it and I look forward to future opportunities. The icing on the cake is that I earned some extra income for my participation; score!"
