00:00:00
I have now done instacart for a year and
00:00:02
am a diamond Shopper and in this video
00:00:05
I'm going to be telling you the 12 most
00:00:06
important tips I've learned along the
00:00:08
way so if you're a brand new instacart
00:00:10
Shopper hopefully you can make a big
00:00:12
jump in the amount of money you're
00:00:14
making and you can have some tools and
00:00:16
strategies on how to go about being an
00:00:18
instacart Shopper even better than you
00:00:20
already are the first thing that I
00:00:21
learned was that you won't get many
00:00:24
batches starting off so when you first
00:00:27
sign up and become an instart Shopper
00:00:29
you're really kind of the bottom of the
00:00:31
totem pole you're not going to get that
00:00:33
many batches so my recommendation is to
00:00:36
just take basically whatever batches
00:00:39
come your way just so you can get the
00:00:41
hang of things because it's going to
00:00:43
take a little while to actually get into
00:00:45
the swing of things and understand how
00:00:48
it all works get the routine down of
00:00:51
shopping for things where the barcodes
00:00:53
are on items so that you can reduce the
00:00:56
time it takes you to scan the codes and
00:00:58
kind of know how each store is laid out
00:01:00
so you can get your own routine going on
00:01:02
how you want to shop for the items and
00:01:04
different things like that it's going to
00:01:06
take you maybe a month to really get
00:01:08
this down and so I suggest just taking
00:01:11
kind of whatever comes your way because
00:01:13
there's not going to be many batches
00:01:14
coming in at first the second thing I've
00:01:16
learned is that the higher your tier is
00:01:19
of instacart Shopper the more batches
00:01:21
you're going to be seeing so like I said
00:01:23
at the start there's not going to be
00:01:25
that many but as you do more and more
00:01:26
batches more and more batches will start
00:01:29
coming your way that's just what I saw
00:01:31
over the course of my first year doing
00:01:33
it consistently the third thing I
00:01:34
learned is that at the start you're
00:01:36
going to want to estimate about 2
00:01:38
minutes per item so when you're
00:01:40
receiving batches just keep that in mind
00:01:42
that it's going to take me at least 2
00:01:44
minutes per item and so you can kind of
00:01:46
gauge off of that what batches are worth
00:01:49
accepting and you might want to even go
00:01:51
3 minutes per item at the very start but
00:01:54
as you get better as you get quicker as
00:01:56
you learn more and learn the layouts of
00:01:59
stores where items are and things like
00:02:01
that then you can really reduce your
00:02:04
kind of thought process to maybe 1
00:02:06
minute per item because now after a year
00:02:09
it seems like I can usually do about 45
00:02:12
seconds per item depending on the store
00:02:14
the next thing which is such a big thing
00:02:16
is to use the store Wi-Fi this is one of
00:02:20
the reasons why I steered clear of
00:02:22
instacart for the first 5 years of my
00:02:25
gig work that I've done and it's because
00:02:28
I would go into store and the app would
00:02:31
not load I wouldn't be able to scan
00:02:33
things it nothing would load I wouldn't
00:02:36
be able to do anything and so I'd have
00:02:37
to keep running outside in order for the
00:02:40
app just to work and transition into
00:02:42
when you're checking out and things like
00:02:44
that and it was so annoying and so timec
00:02:46
consuming that I just steered clear
00:02:48
instacart alt together but I was a dummy
00:02:50
because I could have just used the insor
00:02:51
Wi-Fi so make sure you connect to all
00:02:54
the storees Wi-Fi and so then when you
00:02:56
go in it's just automatically connected
00:02:58
and you don't have to worry about having
00:02:59
a connection issue now the next one
00:03:01
number five is you're going to want to
00:03:03
download the stores apps so that you can
00:03:06
shop quicker now for Smiths they tell
00:03:08
you exactly where the location of the
00:03:11
item is it tells you the aisle number
00:03:13
and the Shelf number that it's on so
00:03:15
it's super convenient when it comes to
00:03:16
Smiths but almost every other store
00:03:19
doesn't do that and it can make things
00:03:21
extremely difficult if you don't know
00:03:23
what aisle things are in like the number
00:03:25
one app I use is Target because they're
00:03:27
super good they literally tell you the
00:03:29
exact aisle that the item is in so that
00:03:32
just shaves off a lot of time especially
00:03:34
when you're starting off and you don't
00:03:36
know the layout of the stores you can
00:03:38
download the store's app search the
00:03:40
items and then it will give you the
00:03:42
exact location and it even has a map of
00:03:45
you in the store because sometimes it
00:03:46
can be even hard to find the aisles
00:03:48
within the store even if you know what
00:03:50
aisle the items in so that just comes in
00:03:53
super handy and something I learned
00:03:54
along the way so that you can find items
00:03:56
super fast even when you're starting off
00:03:58
the next thing I learned is to use a
00:04:01
handheld Basket in your cart like the
00:04:03
picture I'll throw up on the screen for
00:04:05
you when you have a triple batch so
00:04:08
sometimes you get three orders at once
00:04:10
and it can be kind of hard to figure out
00:04:13
how to put all the things in one cart or
00:04:16
sometimes what I used to think is that
00:04:18
oh I probably should grab two or three
00:04:19
carts or do them all separately but what
00:04:22
I've learned is that as long as the
00:04:24
items are too excessive like talking
00:04:26
over a 100 items then you can use this
00:04:29
meth method where you just put a basket
00:04:31
in the middle and then have the top part
00:04:34
of the cart for the first order have the
00:04:37
middle basket for your second order and
00:04:40
then the end of the cart for your third
00:04:42
order and it seems to work out pretty
00:04:44
good and also along with that when
00:04:46
you're checking out it's best in my
00:04:48
opinion to use different bags for the
00:04:50
different batches that you're doing so
00:04:53
if you have a triple stack then first
00:04:56
order maybe you do plastic second order
00:04:58
maybe you do paper and then and third
00:05:00
maybe you do um plastic that has the
00:05:03
bags tied just so you can tell them
00:05:05
apart easier so you don't get confused
00:05:07
when you're putting the items in your
00:05:08
car and actually bringing the items up
00:05:10
to the doorstep now the seventh tip that
00:05:12
I've learned is you always always always
00:05:15
go to the in-person register don't do
00:05:18
self checkout unless self checkout
00:05:20
there's just absolutely no line and you
00:05:21
have a really small amount of items then
00:05:23
you can go do self checkout it's not
00:05:25
going to really save you any time to go
00:05:26
to the person at the register but if you
00:05:29
have anything above like 10 items or
00:05:31
especially multiple orders then you're
00:05:33
definitely going to want to go to the
00:05:35
person at the register I used to never
00:05:38
go to the person at the register I
00:05:40
probably learned this 6 months in that
00:05:42
for the first 6 months I was always just
00:05:43
going to self checkout and then finally
00:05:46
self checkout one time was just super
00:05:48
packed so I decided to go to the person
00:05:50
at the register and they got things done
00:05:53
so much faster than I could have ever
00:05:55
done myself so always always go to the
00:05:57
in-person register it will save you like
00:06:00
at least 10 minutes per order the next
00:06:02
thing that you're going to want to
00:06:03
always do is have your green card with
00:06:05
you I've learned this the hard way
00:06:07
sometimes you get into the store and it
00:06:10
just your Apple pay or Google pay or
00:06:13
whatever your digital card is on
00:06:15
sometimes doesn't work and it can be
00:06:17
super frustrating cuz then you have to
00:06:18
run all the way back out to your car to
00:06:20
grab the card so just have it with you
00:06:22
on every single batch and especially
00:06:24
with Costco orders you're always going
00:06:26
to have to have your instacart debit
00:06:28
card the next thing I learned is that
00:06:30
it's beneficial for you to just sit and
00:06:32
wait in parking lots and this is kind of
00:06:34
contrary to the other apps but if you
00:06:36
just sit and wait in parking lots it's
00:06:38
way better than driving around the
00:06:40
closer you are to the store the higher
00:06:43
likelihood of you getting a batch is so
00:06:46
there's no point in trying to drive
00:06:47
around and find batches I just usually
00:06:50
drive to the nearest Smiths and just sit
00:06:52
and wait because that seems to be the
00:06:54
best way to do things and that way
00:06:56
you're not wasting gas number 10 is
00:06:58
something that I kind of talked about
00:06:59
already but you need to know that
00:07:01
certain stores have a higher difficulty
00:07:06
of finding the items so when you're
00:07:08
thinking about what batches you should
00:07:10
accept you're going to want to keep that
00:07:11
in mind because say Smiths for instance
00:07:14
I will usually accept something that's
00:07:16
higher items for Less pay because I know
00:07:20
it tells me the exact location of the
00:07:22
item but for places like Sprouts
00:07:25
sometimes it takes me like 5 minutes to
00:07:27
find an item because I don't normally
00:07:29
shop there and they don't really label
00:07:30
things that well it's really hard to
00:07:32
find some of the items so just keep that
00:07:34
in mind when you're selecting what batch
00:07:36
is worth taking now the next thing I
00:07:38
learned is when the best times to go out
00:07:40
are and the best times for me are early
00:07:43
morning afternoon and late night so not
00:07:46
really before noon from like 9:30 to
00:07:50
about noon it's pretty dead and so I try
00:07:52
and avoid that time and then also in the
00:07:55
evening time it's pretty dead from like
00:07:58
6:00 to about 9:00 I mean there are some
00:08:01
outlier days where it is busy during
00:08:04
those times but that's just the general
00:08:05
rule of thumb and then from 9:00 to
00:08:08
about midnight it's actually pretty busy
00:08:10
on a lot of days but if you want a tool
00:08:13
to help you figure out when it's the
00:08:14
busiest for you in your specific area
00:08:16
then you can go ahead use the link Down
00:08:18
Below in the description to download the
00:08:19
Sol app pay for one of their
00:08:21
subscription plans because that's going
00:08:23
to get you access to the pay guarantee
00:08:25
feature and it'll show you the exact
00:08:26
best times of day for you to go out in
00:08:28
your specific market and that's
00:08:30
something that I use and that's how I
00:08:32
figured out easier on when the best
00:08:34
times of day to hit are to make the most
00:08:37
amount of money and when you use the
00:08:38
link you're going to get a free trial
00:08:39
plus a $10 bonus and then the last thing
00:08:42
that you should do and the last thing
00:08:44
that I learned is that you just have to
00:08:46
put in the Reps I hated instacart at
00:08:49
first I never would do them I would do
00:08:51
like one batch here and there and every
00:08:53
time I tried it I absolutely hated it
00:08:55
because one I hated shopping it took me
00:08:57
so long to find the items and it just
00:09:00
wasn't that good because I wasn't
00:09:02
getting that many batches I would sit
00:09:03
and wait for a long time nothing would
00:09:06
be coming in and I would be like this is
00:09:08
just so not worth it but after many
00:09:11
months of doing that and then finally
00:09:13
getting into a higher tier you start
00:09:15
seeing way more higher paying batches
00:09:18
and you start getting the hang of things
00:09:20
and things start going way faster and
00:09:22
you start getting batches done way
00:09:24
quicker but you have to put in the Reps
00:09:26
I would say this is the app where it's
00:09:29
the most based on your knowledge and how
00:09:33
quickly you can get things done and that
00:09:35
is directly correlated into how much
00:09:36
money you'll be able to make so keep
00:09:39
that in mind put in the Reps figure out
00:09:40
a routine figure out the best strategy
00:09:43
for you because you can end up making
00:09:44
way more than some of the other apps and
00:09:46
putting way less wear and tear on your
00:09:48
car using instaart so anyways hopefully
00:09:51
these 12 things will help you make more
00:09:53
money on instacart those are the top
00:09:55
things that I've learned over the past
00:09:57
year and the things that learned making
00:10:00
