An Uber driver's income potential is promising, especially when you can successfully find a good market. But this Uber driver in the U.S. just turned his income potential into limitless opportunities.
A few days ago, Franchise Herald published a story on maximizing the Uber driver's ways to increase their potential to a level that would enable them to make this job full-time.
As the second part following this story, the publication wishes to present more ways on increasing your income potential to up to $250,000 a year, following this Uber driver's business model.
Uber driver Gavin Escolar is just like any other person using the ridesharing app in the U.S., Forbes reported. He is described as a charismatic driver, "with a laugh that's even louder than his orange-and-red striped dress shirt."
But when Forbes writer Jon Youshaei rode with Gavin Escolar and found some diamond earrings hanging on his dashboard, he thought there is something more about this Uber driver who is reportedly making $250,000 a year.
"He's not just an Uber driver. Nor is he just an entrepreneur. He's an 'Uberpreneur,' using the ridesharing app to promote his jewelry business," Youshaei wrote.
This Uber driver who successfully turned his income potential to as much as $250,000 a year also owns a jewelry business called Gavin Escolar jewelry collection which even has its own website.
"It's a salesman's dream," Gavin Escolar said in the Forbes report. "I have 10 minutes to make an impression. Would that happen if I went door-to-door? Or if I bought tiny online ads? My way, I get quality time with quality leads. Best of all, I'm being paid as I do it. It's like Uber is providing a base salary before I make jewelry sales."
His jewelry collection extends far past the road. His official website said he has created a yellow gold kunzite ring, diamond ring, wedding bands, engagement rings and more.
"He tells me how he immigrated from the Philippines to start a jewelry company in San Francisco. He recalls his initial struggles and how he became an Uber driver to make ends meet," Youshaei said in his report.
