Another Smartphone App That Pays – Easy Shift

in Extra Cash, Smartphone Apps

easy shift appIt’s been a while since I wrote up a review of a smartphone app that pays. There are several out there like this, and some of the more popular ones are Field Agent, GigWalk, and GoSpotCheck. There is another app I recently found out about called Easy Shift that works in much the same way as those others do. FYI – I believe this one is just for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Earning Money

To earn money with EasyShift, you use it while you are shopping to conduct little audits at stores — kind of like mystery shopping, but way less involved. You might be asked to take a picture of a display with your phone, count how much inventory there is  for an item, or even do price checks.

There may also occasionally be little tasks that you can perform at home, so you don’t necessarily have to go out shopping to earn money with EasyShift every time you use it.

Each job pays a set amount, could be anywhere from $2 to $20.

Getting Your Money

This is the most important part :) EasyShift will send you your earnings to your Paypal account within 48 hours guaranteed, but in most cases they do pay faster and it’s not unusual to get your money the same day you complete the job.

Finding Jobs

You can log in to the app to keep tabs on where there might jobs around your area. It should notify you when something is available that you can do close by.

Earning Points

Don’t worry — points are not how you get paid with this app. The points you get for each job actually are there to help advance your level. The higher your level on EasyShift, the better your reputation. This is good because it means you’ll get access to jobs that pay better and you may also be allowed to reserve jobs ahead of time.

Bottom Line

This app (like most smartphone apps that pay) is likely just good for extra money and won’t replace your day job. However, it makes sense that if you use this app as well as several other smartphone apps that pay, you could be earning a substantial amount of extra money if you stayed on top of things and did as many jobs as you could.

Download

You can go here to see the listing for the app in the Apple store. Downloading the app should be as easy as doing a search for EasyShift in your app store.

I use EasyShift and love it. (GigWalk, not so much.)

I’m a big fan of microjobs and appreciate all you’re doing on your blog.

I’ve been using EasyShift for a couple of months now—along with Gigwalk, GoSpotCheck, and Field Agent—and EasyShift is by far the best system–and app. I like that I work directly for them (they’re not a middle man so no “applications” for tasks, and yes to super-quick payments) and how responsive they are. There are real ebbs and flows to the number of shifts available, though, so it’s not necessarily money you can bank on coming in regularly. Worth getting in there when you can and building your rep, though, because some people (in some regions, I’m guessing) are clearly making significant extra money with them. Anna, thanks so much for this site! And the redesign is sweet…

Anna I Love you and I am addicted to your site can’t get enough every day sometime twice a day. I have a BS in Marketing and I would like to become a social Media Manager. Can you please help me as to how I can go about training for such a position. After some extensive research I found many places that are charging an arm and a leg just to learn how. The bottom line is I don’t have a lot of money, I am willing to work and to learn, I just need the opportunity and proper training. Help!

Hi Jenny, thank you for the compliments! I don’t personally have experience in that department as far as getting paid for it goes (I do of course run a few Facebook pages that are tied in with my blogs, but that’s it).

However, one of my regular guest posters, Jess Weaver, wrote a few articles for me about doing this sort of thing. You can read them here:

And I can also tell you that companies are interested in hiring people who have experience. So it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set up a Facebook, Twitter, etc. page for either yourself or something you like and start updating it regularly. Sorry I am not more help!
