Grandparents Making $10K/Month With Delivery Apps

📝 A paywalled article about Day and Al Stefanelli.

They started off doing food deliveries via Instacart and DoorDash.

Then 👇

Day and Al noticed that while a fast food drop might pay $10, a Walgreens run or a package from the Apple Store (packing services) could earn 3-4x that. Then came Amazon Flex, with $90–$160 routes and heavier loads. “Instead of running 10 little gigs, you can run five bigger ones,” Day says…

Once they understood the upside of larger hauls, they didn’t hesitate. They bought a cargo van and started using Roadie… 

Suddenly, they were hauling huge trees, basketball hoops and catering equipment for a bigger payout per job. But soon they realized “there’s always a bigger job around the bend.” So they bought a trailer. Gigs involving a trailer paid between $500 and $750 each — and $1,000 on their best day ever.

With the right equipment, they moved into a space where fewer drivers compete, and the rates reflect that.

Great example of taking a simple side hustle very seriously, thereby earning a good income from it 💪
