You can earn extra money as a courier with Postmates. This on-demand delivery service operates in 44 metropolitan areas and connects couriers with consumers who want food from a restaurant or merchandise from a local store delivered to them.
The service's nearly 40,000 couriers make deliveries by car, bike, scooter or on foot and earn up to $25 per hour — plus tips — during the peak lunch and dinner times, said April Conyers, director of communications at Postmates. Payment is based on factors such as time and distance. To become a courier, you can sign up at Postmates. com and start delivering pretty much immediately, Conyers said
