Field Agent is one of the most popular side hustle apps out there. With over one million downloads from the Google Play store, Field Agent is a popular choice for people looking to make a few extra dollars.
The app is simple to use – you can download it here*.
Registration is quick and easy. Once you’re all ready to go, you can search various types of jobs. The majority of the jobs available will fall under the “eye spy” category. For example, there are currently 150 eye spy tasks available for me to claim. Many of them require going to Costco to locate and take pictures of an item. Here is an example:
This particular job and ones like it are currently paying $3. That doesn’t seem like much but given that there are dozens of Costco-related jobs available, one could easily turn the trip into a $30-$90 adventure. The “easily” part comes with a catch…
Is it easy?
The answer is yes and no, and will depend based on the following:
- How familiar are you with the store layout
- How long it takes you to find items in the store
- Does the store carry the item?
- How close are you to the store?
Track your results
If you decide to try Field Agent, be sure to track your mileage, time spent, and any other important observations. Ideally, you’ll want to claim gigs that are close to home or that take place in a location that you’re heading to for a different reason.
They key is to get a solid return on your time. If you find that you’re struggling to find items, or that the items are not in stock at all, be sure to track it. These types of jobs take some time to get used to but are not for everyone. If you’re not getting favorable results, then the app might not be for you. However, if you find that you’re able to complete jobs quickly and efficiently, this app will help you make extra money on a regular basis.
Location Matters
Your success on Field Agent will also depend on your location – some areas of the United States will have more gigs available than others. The only way to know is to try it.
