Since upgrading to the iPhone recently,
I decided to try out a few different money earning apps. After doing
some research, I narrowed it down to 3 apps (Gigwalk, Field Agent,
and EasyShift) which pay you to go to stores and take pictures of
products. Each app is available for iPhone and Android devices.
I was hoping these apps would have some
opportunities at some of the local stores I visit frequently which would be a nice way to earn a few extra bucks each week. Here is an
overview of my first impressions of these 3 apps:
Gigwalk - The first one I downloaded
was Gigwalk. I had heard of this one long ago but this was the first
opportunity I had to try it out. The registration was pretty easy and
I was able to view gigs right away on the map and in list form. The
layout is pretty easy to use, but the downside so far has been that
there are not too many gigs close by. Most have been at least 10
miles away which is too far to go for gigs listed at $6-7. So far I
have not found any close enough to try yet.
Field Agent - Next I tried Field Agent.
They seemed to ask more questions during the set up. They also have
ongoing qualifying surveys to become eligible for additional jobs.
Like Gigwalk you can view the available jobs on a map and in list
form. I found there to be many more opportunities available on Field
Agent compared to Gigwalk, many as close as a few miles. They have
product auditing jobs, surveys, and scavenger hunts which entail
finding certain items in a store and getting pictures of them. Most
jobs pay about $3-7. I have not completed any of the jobs yet, but
so far this one looks promising.
EasyShift - Lastly, I downloaded
EasyShift. This one seems to be the most simplified of the 3. One
feature I liked is for the terms of service, they have each part
explained in plain English. They had a fair amount of shifts
available within a reasonable distance, but for some reason, most of
them are for liquor stores. There is nothing wrong with that, but it
is something to keep in mind. Average shifts pay about $5-7.
Of the 3, so far it looks like Field
Agent may be my favorite because it has the most opportunities and a
variety of different tasks. The interface also seems to be the most
engaging. I will update here if I have a follow up on these money
making apps.
Have you tried any of these 3 apps
before? Do you recommend any similar apps for earning money? Feel
free to leave a comment below.
