While scouring the app store for more easy apps that pay you, I came across an app called Field Agent that pays you for completing small jobs. Field Agent partners with individuals or businesses who need information about products, stores, or auditing. When you sign up for the app you become an "Agent" and are eligible to complete jobs for these individuals and businesses. The jobs are simple tasks that you perform at businesses around your town (grocery store, supercenters, small businesses). Some jobs can even be completed at home. The typical job pays between $3.00 and $12.00, but some can pay even more. A few examples of jobs that you can complete with Field Agent are price checking an item, auditing, taking a photo of a display, locating an item within a store, or taking a survey about a recent purchase.

How to Make Money with Field Agent
Once you sign up and open the Field Agent app, you can search available jobs through a list or by map. Each job will have a small description, location, and the amount you will get for completing the job. Some of the jobs are Scavenger Hunts, and for these the location doesn't matter, you just have to be able to photograph the specific item they are requesting. You can go find it at a store or if you already have the item, you can do it from home.
When you find a job you want to do, just tap the job and select Accept this Job. Make sure you check the Time Allowed before accepting because it can hurt your Agent Score if the time runs out before you can complete the job. On the other hand if you wait too long, someone else may take the job.
If you have a job that requires you to be at a specific location, go ahead and accept the job (so you don't waste a trip if someone else takes it) then make your way to the location. Some of the jobs won't let you begin until you are at the location. When I completed my jobs on this app, it gave me a warning about being at the wrong location. I was sure I was at the right location, so I went ahead with the job anyways and it was still approved. So don't worry too much if you get a warning when you start the job, just double check to make sure before you begin.
How to Receive Your Earnings
Once your job has been approved you will be able to view your balance within the app or on the Field Agent website.
Field Agent pays out through Paypal. To request your earnings, you have to first go to the website and set up your Paypal. After that, you can cash out through the app or on the website. There is no minimum payout to be able to redeem your earnings.
My Experience
I have completed 6 jobs so far on Field Agent, so I am by no means a pro at it yet. Some of the jobs I did were screeners for upcoming jobs, surveys, and audits at a nearby grocery store. The audits were kind of fun. I just had to take pictures of a filter section in an aisle and answer a few questions. For another audit, I had to walk around the store to find battery displays and take pictures of them. Both of these were at the same store so it only took about 10 minutes to complete. The audits in total paid me $7.00, which is pretty nice for a 10 minute trip to the grocery store.
The same jobs were also available to complete at another grocery store which was further away. I noticed over a few days the price on the jobs kept getting higher as no one else was doing it. The same two jobs I had completed for $7.00 were now paying $23.00! I still didn't want to make the 30 minute drive, but it had me wondering if I should have held off on accepting the other jobs for a little while. Maybe I will try that next time.
Anyways, the jobs were approved within 2 days and I requested a transfer to my Paypal. The deposit arrived in about 30 minutes, and overall I'm very pleased with the speediness of the process.
My experience as a whole was very positive. Field Agent is a neat app. I enjoyed doing the jobs and am looking forward to doing more! I'm in kind of a small area, so there aren't that many nearby. But, there are tons of the Scavenger Hunts to complete that pay $6.50 each, so I will be giving those a try very soon! I do recommend this app because the jobs are easy to complete, the pay is decent for the time, and the time it takes to receive payment is pretty fast.
