Field Agent
Field Agent get paid to perform tasks in their neighborhood.
“What will I be asked to do?
It depends on the job! You could be asked to rank something, submit a photo, video, or even a free-form response.
Before you reserve a job, make sure to read the job summary on the job details page. This should give you a good idea of what to expect.
Examples:
Product price check with a photo
The app will instruct you to go to a particular store, find a specific product, take a photo of it on the shelf, and enter its price. This type of job is easy to complete but also very important to companies that need insight on their competition.
Survey
Our clients often need the opinions of consumers just like you. Surveys show up in the app just like other jobs, but you can complete them and make money from any location.
Special Requirements
You might be asked to purchase a product, record a video, go to a store or restaurant at a specific time of day, etc. These requirements will all be listed in the job overview, so you can get an idea of what’s expected before you accept the job.”

Gigwalk is a mobile app for Android and iOS that allows you to find quick jobs (“Gigs”) in your area. A Gig is represented by a pin on the map in our mobile application and can take anywhere from 5 minutes to a few hours to complete and pay anywhere from $3 to $100. Clients see the work Gigwalkers submit through the app on our back-end Gigwalk platform.
“How does it work?
1. A Gigwalk software customer posts work as “Gigs” that show up on the map and Gig list in the Gigwalk app.
2. You find Gigs in your area that look like a good fit.
3. You apply for a Gig by clicking the “Apply to this Gig” button.
4. You are notified that your application has been selected and given detailed instructions for completing the work.
5. You complete the work and submit it through the Gigwalk app.
6. The customer reviews your work and either approves it or may ask you a quick follow-up question or two.
7. Once approved, you get paid directly to your PayPal account!”

Like Gigwalk and Field Agent, gigs may involve “audits” (checking an item in a store), scavenger hunts (finding a specific product in a local store), or taking a photo of a storefront.
