Getting paid using Gigwalk

So one of my friends showed me this iPhone App called Gigwalk. From what it seems you get paid to go to a business and usually take pictures using a Microsoft App, and take a short survey. You submit your pictures and I'm pretty sure Bing uses them when people go online and look up the business. Most gigs are about $5 but some get up to around $80. There's quite a few in my town that I want to do, but just haven't gotten around to doing them. Anybody have any experience with the app?

Seems like a cool idea. You need business who are willing to use it though before you can actually get a gig. So it would need to catch on and spread in an area before you could get started.

I tried something like this a few years ago, it was called fieldagent I think, same idea. Its a cool concept, there were just never jobs near me because I live in vt. I have actually tried a lot of these ways to get paid through apps or on the computer. I saw a thread a while back where a kid made over $300 from youtube ads because ns went ham on them, but I haven't had the same luck haha. Anyways, there are some cool ones for iphone like bamboo, which I am happy to send anyone my code for (it benefits both parties). I've gotten a few amazon cards through it. Also, the second link in my sig (the survey one) is great. It takes a while to qualify, but I think right now I am at about $25 from very minimal effort. Back in the day there was microsoft cashback, which is great if you are purchasing, I got like $50 when I got a netbook, and search+win was good fun. I'll see if I can remember any others, but hopefully some of these work for you as well as they have for me.

I somehow have like 1500 on my swagbucks rewards thing, its one of those deals where you have to complete surveys and stuff for points. I did for like a week a few years ago and had maybe 40 points, and I got a random email the other day from them and I have almost 1500 somehow (thats enough for a $15 amazon gift card)

No way this is worthwhile. If it seems too good then it almost always is too good

Usually you don't have to eat or buy anything. Usually you go take pictures, a couple panoramas and answer a survey. Then Gigwalk paypals you the money.

the amount of time you little shits spend on trying to scrape a few bucks together by putting for minimal effort is mind blowing

Not saying this is supposed to replace a job, just a good way to maybe make some quick cash. I highly doubt anyone does this as their actual full time job
