Decided to download this today and give it a try. Took 3 jobs. All of them involved going to the Walmart right down the road, buying beer, bringing it home, taste testing it and giving a review. 2 of the products were not on the shelf. Still got paid for the job. They also reimburse you for the cost of the product. So I made 23 bucks and a free case of beer. Just had to run to the store, get a 12 pack of beer, bring it home, drink it and give it a review. Basically I got paid to do what I normally do anyway 😅
My opinion on this app has changed a little. I haven't used it recently but when I did I was in a small town and apparently the only person using this app. It was okay for a little gig here and there and basically free beer and occasionally a food item. As far as making real money, you're not going to make much. Just a few bucks. I was really just doing it for the free beer lol. I don't drink anymore so I haven't used the app in a while.
@DJonthe1sand2s when I would go to the location the app directed me to, they would have me take a picture of the isle where the item is supposed to be. If the item was not there, they would still pay me for the job (usually 5 to 10 bucks).
Great video. Fun fact. If you do not have to tell the police why you are taking pictures of their station. The same goes for public spaces like a store front or items in a store. What is not allowed is a person's face or any Pii without their consent. Soooo take pictures and if they ask say you are an auditor and keep taking pictures they cannot legally stop you.
Ive been doing Field Agent for 5 months now. Its a Side-Side hustle. Some of the payouts can be small but they definitely add up. Plus ive done some of the Buy&Try jobs and gotten free pizza, Popeye's, yogurt,ect. I try and be very discreet when i take pictures though. Ive NEVER asked an employee to take photos. I just do it on the downlow;) Youre a "secret shopper" afterall :)
Beware. I also did field agent for 2 years. Made $1000 doing it a few times a month not including the money I spent out for little ceasars and McDonald's mystery shops. I noticed I made a bit below minimum wage in my area but as long as you don't make a separate trip for one task and dont expect to get paid for all of them it can be o.k. of course if you complain their task is flawed like my Costco one was they just deactivate you like you didn't complete 300 tasks for them over 2 years. They do not treat their agents well. My Costco one was across town and supposed to be 14 dollars to check adult diapers and women's hygiene. The part in question was the incontinence items (adult diapers). They wanted 1 photo per product on it's pallet with price tags above it like I was able to do for the pads in that aisle. Unfortunately the adult diapers had 3 different items on one pallet with 3 price tags jumbled above them. I took 3 photos of the same to indicate 3 items but they said I had duplicate photos and didn't pay me for the entire task! When I argued that 1 photo would have had 3 products and also been against their instructions but if they want they can delete my duplicate photos they deactivated my account! Okay then. What they say goes! In the past I also had a Walmart task where they wanted a HORIZONTAL photo of the entire aisle but it was too narrow to back up enough to get the very top and bottom. It would have been possible with a vertical photo. Sometimes their tasks just dont work and there is no one to contact to see how they would like you to proceed. They take no responsiblity for the tasks not working. They just waste *your* time and money in that case. I had read reviews and this happens often but it had not happened to me.. until it did. It will to you one day. Beware. If you bite the bullet and just dont complain then they may not deactivate you but they dont change their mind so *you pay* for *their mistakes*
Also, although not a big challenge but still a challenge with Field Agent and some similar apps to that is that most stores do not allow anyone to take pictures or video inside. There have been times especially on other similar apps and even a few on Field Agent where a manager or supervisor would ask me why am I taking pictures or that pictures are not allowed to be taken inside of a private business. Depending on who stops me they would either tell me to stop taking pictures, make me leave the store, or even permanently ban me from that particular store even when peacefully explaining things to them. That is one of the reasons why I stop doing these field agent and other similar gigs to that. When I go to a store I tried to make sure that there’s not a manager or supervisor close by when I’m taking pictures and I try to keep a low profile as much as I can, that helps, but there will still be times where you may have an encounter with one of those people and they will give you a problem.
@@spin_tires_on_pavement-s.t5760 , Doesn’t matter, I can’t tell you how many times me and other folks have tried and yet someone confronts us. These other apps obviously are not smart to realize that whenever anybody’s taking pictures in a private business there’s a good chance you can be confronted.
You are the man! Straight fire with all these app reviews. Truly are GIG NATION! The Field Agent app looks a bit more promising than Observa in the Seattle area.
I've tried it here in so cal but options have diminished a bit. There are TONS of scavenger hunt options but I've never been able to complete one. If someone could figure a hack for those they'd be killing it!!!
They’re terrible lol I won’t do them anymore. I find the products but the barcodes never match up. It’s usually because it’s fresh meat etc that will have a different barcode per item or specially ordered products. 🤦🏼♀️
Cool search and search and at least you show the interface of the app I hope is going well for you so far many of the ones I was researching are not worth it but the way you presented it could be a side hustle if your doing uber or other stuff. You need to share you paypal for donations.
Field Agent and a similar app, Easy Shift pay less than minimum wage when you account for travel time, your mileage/tolls, admin time keeping the books, and the occasional rejection. Never again
@George Costanza True, but the jobs aren't too plentiful just doing it that way, which is what I do. My year to date total is at $4 and I live in a major city.
Does this work for people who live in small towns that only have about a dozen commonly known stores and about the same number of national fast food places? Area pupolation under 40,000 people.
What's the sign up process like? Link? And would love to see if you could do a Dispatch It video if you've signed up with them. I'm going to upload a Roadie video soon.
Hey man! I'm thinking about getting involved with one or two of these apps. I live New York though, and i don't drive. Do you think i can get by using the train? And do you think i can get a group of them in relatively one spot being in the city?
Still wondering how could this job make money all they job I see is they always ask for to buy and try spent more than you make. If the company pay for buy and try than will make big difference
Curtis George , there is Mobee, EasyShift, Gigwalk, and Observa. EasyShift though asks for too many pictures which may be an inconvenience as it makes you more likely for someone to confront you about pictures. Mobee is great like field agent when it come to taking pics, but most of gigs pay only around $2-3 which is not worth it if you’re trying to get as much done quick.
For some reason there seems to be no audits where I live and I live in a big city, then when there is a job right after the reserve time is over, all the jobs disappear.
All you have to do is set up a separate account that you send an automatic deposit with the estimated amount you think you might owe. Use your last tax return to figure out the number and then at the end of the year, you have the money. I do this also for saving for a rainy day. I never even "see" the money. You may not want to owe but you're also missing out on the BUSINESS DEDUCTIONS!! Don't miss a good opportunity because of something like this.
Support is trash, so if you expect to need any support, don't bother! It's literally a waste of time to try and get support and they are tyrants. You are on your own, at least here in Canada.
@@MrJamberee Its 2020, Americans need to be paid a min base wage of 22./hr. or create their own companies to pay themselves above that. I've worked those low paying jobs, I've worked jobs paying up to 63./hr. and I've also created my own gigs paying me 200./hr. but lets assume time is a constraint because effective time mgmt. is key to financial security. Taking a hit on the overhead for start ups is working incorrectly. I do nap, cat naps are great for smart people and dumb people alike. Making a healthy income is like successful dating, one has to move to where the opposite sex drinks from the pool. In a market like San Diego (vs. Orange County) we see averages as low as 6./hr for gig work if one works to too long. It doubles in only certain zip codes at certain times of day but O.C. is way busier due to income disparity and population density similar to West L.A vs. anything east or north of L.A. The majority of the gig labor force can't fathom transportation expenditures over 6 months but will settle on whomever, whichever co. pays on time vs. realistic compensation for their time. Effort is relative, being paid by the hour is a standard we are conditioned to.

Interesting I take pics of items in stores sometimes just for my personal remembrance of things I would like to buy. I'm just getting into this field.
