The "Gig Economy" is growing every year, with ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft representing a large segment. If you drive for one of these services, you want to utilize every advantage to maximize your earnings in a crowded (or not crowded, for that matter) market. On this episode, I drive for both Uber and Lyft while testing two third-party "Hotspot" apps. These apps claim to inform drivers where to go in order to enjoy the most business. Do they work? Let's find out. Along the way, you'll learn some tips and tricks to being a rideshare driver.

Here's links to the apps tested in this episode:
