I reported this shop on the MobiAudit app in the store as I went. I did it for the base fee ($7) and the total time was about 15-20 minutes. That's $21-28/hour and was done and reported before I got to my car. That's a winner for me.
This is exactly why the "don't take low fee shops" argument doesn't work. I love shops like this: no muss, no fuss, easy money.

I agree that if anyone is not willing to understand how easy it is to read the simple instructions and integrate these types of menial shops into your schedule, then avoid them like the plague.
Kind of interesting that not one person that has any experience with these shops has anything negative to contribute. The negative posts are all speculators, uninformed opinions. Maybe reverse psychology, they want them all to themselves?

This shop is straightforward. You are given the questions to ask and at least 4 of them are "normal" questions that any customer would ask. For the pictures, I just pulled out my phone and asked the salesperson if it would be a problem if I took pictures. Of course, he said no. Five clicks and I'm done. The report is primarily Yes/No (more accurately, Left/Right--they want to know which direction you go to find the display after walking in the front door; is the product to the Left/Right of the competitor). There is no narrative and I don't recall if there are comments, so if there were comments, they were short and simple. The shop plus report can definitely be done in less than 25 minutes.
It helped that I was looking into this product anyway, but for me this shop was a cinch. Give it a try! You might find that it's a fun shop.

My daily rate is $200 plus expenses and per diem.
I would need to do >25 of these to achieve that rate in one day. Mileage is not included nor is food.
So, maybe 35 in one day? Figure 3/hour due to travel time between locations. My time is better spent elsewhere.
I did a simple $30 + $50 job in less than one hour in the same mall. Very simple. I don't waste my time with $8 jobs. Period.

Great insight. Utilizing the various apps like Gigwalk and Mobi all of us can increase our profitability by stacking or multi-tasking shops at same or near by locations. I need to remind myself to check these apps more often, seeing I am registered on a few.
That's usually said by someone with a small "fee."@ChrisCooper wrote:
The conversations about small fees always reminds me of the song "It ain't the meat, it's the motion." It's not just about the size of the fee. It's what you do with it that counts!

This is my first post. I've only lurked here for about a year so please be nice. I just received an email for a drone shop. You will receive an increased pay of $8. You will have to ask 6 questions and I'm not sure if there is narrative involved (probably just a guess). You will also have to take 5 pictures and upload them. There is no added reimbursement.....nothing....just the wonderful experience of asking 6 questions about drones and taking pictures. I'd make more money at a minimun wage job and googling for information about drones at the same time. Just venting......I hope all of you hold out for higher paying jobs, because there are plenty if you look for them.
