Make Some Extra Cash from Your iPhone with Gigwalk

Melanie Pinola — Make Some Extra Cash from Your iPhone with GigwalkiPhone: Earn a second paycheck by going out and about and completing simple gigs with your iPhone. Tasks like verifying map information and taking photos (in major US metro areas) can net you from $3 to $90 per task.

Companies like Motorola and TomTom need people on the street to help verify information and do some consumer research. If you have some extra time, becoming a Gigwalker and doing these gigs can earn you some extra cash or even become a regular part-time freelance job.

All Things Digital reports that one of the highest Gigwalk earners made more than $2000 ($400 a week on average) doing more than 270 tasks since March. To get to that point, you'll need to earn "streetcred" — points awarded for quality work that may give you access to the higher paying jobs.

Gigs include verifying roads and signs, mapping a location, taking local business photos or gathering local pricing information, doing some secret shopping, and more. For Gigwalk clients, this local/mobile information is very valuable but could be costly for companies to do themselves.
