Appen

Appen is a data collection company that uses independent contractors (you) to make machine learning programs act more human like. Most jobs consists of simple tasks like speaking phrases into a microphone or evaluating socal media ads (this is what I do) and search engines. What makes this opportunity so great is you can work from anywhere you have internet so perfect for travelers! Contractors are paid by the hour and paid monthly. The pay is rather low but I find I can get the work done in less than the time alloted so I end up making more per hour.  You do need to apply for this job so have your resume ready. You can apply here.

SWAGBUCKS

Swagbucks has been around a long time.  It is a survey site that offers other means in which to earn.  Before you say "oh no, not surveys" just know that I made $40 doing a back pain survey and follow up and Wade has made $25 doing a follow up group video survey.  Besides surveys you can be rewarded for shopping online, watching videos and visiting websites among other things.  To be successful I suggest trying surveys!

Merchandiser

Merchandiser is very similar to Field Agent. In fact I recommend you download both of them and look at both for jobs. Mechandiser offers high paying jobs doing store resets and product demos as well as smaller jobs in big box stores. Jobs might be checking inventory of a product and taking photos or checking to see if a product is in stock and working with mangament to get it on the floor.  The jobs all vary but the pay and time commitment as well as all details are provided before you accept the job. You can search jobs based on your location so this is a great app to use while traveling.  Sign up here.

StreetBees

Strretbees pays well for the little effort you have to put in.  Via the app they ask you for a photo and to answer some questions.  Sample things I have done is tell them about the dinner I made including what products I used. And about the products I use in the morning to get ready.  It usually takes about 5 minutes and pays $1-2.  The best part is after it is approved it pays directly to your Paypal without having to request it. Sign up and use code 86521G and get $1 for trying it out!

VoxPopme

VoxPopMe is a little different than the other apps I have mentioned.  For this one you are asked a question and then you record a 30 second answer. I have been asked to share my thoughts on playing games on my phone, how oftern I wear sunscreen, if I shop at discount supermarkets, Coke vs Pepsi etc. It takes less than a minute and pays 50 cents or more.  Sign up and try it out and get $1.
