Everyone knows how great having the Octopus tablet is for rideshare drivers: better tips, higher ratings and reviews, and more conversations with passengers. While we already pay you for your tablet activity, this is passive income.
Now, there’s a new way to be more proactive and earn extra money with your Octopus tablet. Introducing: OctoPush (“The Button”).
“The Button” is currently not active. This post will be updated the next time “The Button” is active.
How it works
“The Button” will appear randomly during commercials between regular gameplay. Each time someone clicks “The Button” on their tablet, they automatically receive an additional entry into an ongoing contest drawing. The more times your “Button” is pressed, the more entries you receive.
Participation opportunities on OctoPush will range from quick weekend contests to market-wide “City vs. City” competitions where entire groups of drivers can earn rewards. Contests and rewards will vary, and “The Button” will not always be active, so it’s important to pay attention to when it is.
Tips and Tricks
Here’s how you can increase your chances of winning a payout during a “The Button” contest:
-
Periodically draw attention to the tablet for ALL passengers:
- Just mentioning the tablet helps. Telling passengers about the contest and how they can help you win makes a BIG difference.
-
Keep your passengers connected to the tablet even when they’re not playing games:
- Some passengers stop looking at the tablet when they’re not playing. Remind them to keep an eye out, as that’s when “The Button” might appear.
-
Pay attention to Octopus communications:
- Ensure you’re subscribed to all Octopus communications, including text messages and emails.
-
Understand the rhythm of the tablet:
- “The Button” doesn’t appear after every game session. Most ad cycles last longer than 8 minutes, so exposure to “The Button” will vary depending on screen time.
-
Stay positive and have fun:
- It’s a contest, and not everyone can win. Having the tablet already offers value by entertaining passengers for free. “The Button” is an extra opportunity to enhance the experience and potentially earn more money!
-
Memorize the sound:
- Knowing what to listen for will help you direct your passengers to press “The Button.”
