An iPhone App that Pays YOU

May 26th, 2010 by Erin Posted in Technology | No Comments »

It seems far-fetched.  A FREE Apple iPhone application that pays you.

It’s called Field Agent – and if you don’t have it, get it.

While it’s not going to make you millions – or even thousands – Field Agent will put a few bucks in your pocket by giving you access to odd jobs in and around your neighborhood.

When I say odd jobs, I mean simple tasks like collecting retail pricing and display information, event images, photos of items for sale and consumer surveys.

Complete the jobs, earn real money!

The Field Agent software uses the iPhone’s built-in tools to provide clients with information including agent history, GPS location, time and date stamps, and photo confirmations. Payments can range from $3- to-$8, depending on the job’s degree of difficulty. Clients, in turn, can rate agents for their reliability and accuracy.

Field Agent requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later and is compatible with iPod Touch – even the iPad.

I’d love to say Field Agent is unique to the recession-friendly outsourcing market – but it isn’t. There are other sites just like it on Internet – oDesk, CloudCrowd, and Fiverr just to name a few. But, Field Agent is the first application of its kind. And, one a lot of people will be using.

Will Field Agent replace your full-time 9-to-5 job?

No.

But the app will give you a little walking around money – and that’s something everyone could use.
