Field inspector and picture taking apps have gained popularity in recent years. One player in this arena is ivueit, an app that offers picture taking assignments in exchange for money.
Types of assignments when using Ivueit as a side hustle
The typical ivueit assignment, known as a ‘vue’, consists of taking pictures of either the exterior, interior, or both of both residential and commercial buildings. For example, I recently completed a vue that consisted of taking 15 pictures of exterior landscaping of a Dollar General store. Other assignments include taking pictures of interior flooring, ceilings, walls, and more.
The majority of assignments can be completed quickly, in 15 minutes or less, not counting travel.
Pay and travel
The pay is both good and bad – $7 to take pictures of exterior landscaping is quick and easy money. The caveat is the travel; the pay is not worth it unless you meet one of two conditions:
- The assignment is local/within a 10 mile radius
- You’re going to be in an area already for a different reason
For example, I was completing an assignment for Wegolook last week when a notification from ivueit popped up. The vue was only a 3 minute drive from my assignment! Once I finished my Wegolook assignment, I was able to complete the vue, which consisted of taking 15-30 photos of exterior landscaping for a Dollar General. Needless to say, it was an easy $7, and more than covered the gas that I used for my Wegolook assignment.
Ease of use
The app is fairly simple to use. ivueit offers a map, and you can search by mile radius and pay rate.
The functionality is very helpful; available vues will show up as green dots on the map. If you are traveling for any reason, you can view the map to check proximity.
About the ivueit pay rates
The pay is good and bad at the same time. Its good because you can make $7 for under 10 minutes of work for taking pictures of trees and shrubs. It is bad because the rates do not justify traveling solely to complete a view. As previously mentioned, vues are best completed if you have to travel to an area for any other reason.
You can even enable “commuter mode” in the app to receive notifications about vues in areas that you are visiting. Unfortunately, this feature refreshes every 15 minutes, and you will not receive real time notifications if you pass a vue en route to a destination.
Fast payments
One nice feature about ivueit is that they tend to review your work and offer immediate payment if your vue was completed properly. You can withdraw funds from your “wallet” and they will send the money to paypal. A note of caution – if you miss a step in a vue, they may reject it. I once forgot to take a picture of the entrance of a Dollar General, and despite taking almost thirty other pictures, they rejected it. I ended up getting the vue unassigned as I was in this particular area for a different gig, and the travel wasn’t worth the $7.
How to maximize earnings
Vues are claimed very quickly! For example, a Vue to take pictures of a recently closed Rite Aid store appeared the other day. I took 10 minutes to check my schedule, and by the time I went back in, the gig had been claimed. The good news is that Ivueit allows you to unclaim gigs for 30 minutes, so if you decide that you cannot complete a Vue, you have time to change your mind.
Additionally, many Ivueit users like to check the app in the morning and will claim gigs, so be sure to check it shortly after you wake up.
Types of Vues
There are several types of jobs that you can choose on Ivueit:
1. Exterior Property Vues
Capture photos of the outside of commercial or residential properties—such as retail storefronts, offices, banks, and houses. These are among the most common gig types.
2. Interior Property Vues
Some assignments require photographing inside spaces—like closed offices, empty homes, or commercial interiors. A background check may be required.
3. Night Vues / Signage & Lighting Audits
These involve specially photographing signage or lighting conditions at night (e.g., illuminated displays, lighted exteriors).
4. Municipality & Asset Verification Vues
Property assessments used for tax parcels, code enforcement, housing conditions, and public infrastructure audits—requested by municipal clients.
5. Insurance-Related Vues
Visual documentation for underwriting or claims assessment. Includes both interior and exterior inspections for insurance agencies.
6. Retail / CPG Vues
Retail audits or merchandising checks—documenting conditions inside or outside convenience stores and retail outlets for consumer goods companies.

💰 Pay & Assignment Details
