How to Earn $1,000 a Week (and More) with Instacart

I didn’t believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. It’s easier than you think. I’d been doing DoorDash and UberEats, hustling my ass off every day to make a hundred bucks or so (if I was lucky) and then a friend turned me on to Instacart and now I’m making more money than I ever did with the other delivery services — and in less time, too!

First off, I need to tell you that I don’t live in a big city. I imagine earning $1,000 a week with most of these third party delivery services is easy in bigger cities, but I live outside of Knoxville, TN, a city of about 180,000 people. Where I live though is a bit more rural — an area of approximately 15–20,000 people. That’s it. It’s an average-sized area. It’s rural for the most part. And other than a few pockets of wealthy people, it is for the most part, very middle- to low-class income-wise. The reason I’m telling you this is because I always imagined you had to live in a more upscale place to earn money delivering groceries. (That was my preconceived notion or prejudice, anyway.) And boy was I wrong!
