Note From Matt — My wife, Alana, and I went on a few gig walks last weekend to test the service. At the end, I will add a little bit of feedback of my own about the service.

I was super excited when I got assigned to my first Gig on Gigwalk. Out of every other possible person in the Temecula area…they picked me!

I had just downloaded the Gigwalk app from the App Store only a half hour before. I was excited at the prospect of earning some extra money by doing, well, basically not a whole lot. The gigs I applied to were to go to the nearby chain electronics store and photograph their Kindle displays, then answer some survey questions about their display, such as are the product demos working, is the signage correct for all the products and so on, photographing everything as I went.

Another type of gig I applied for was a little more complicated. It was for the search engine Bing, and the task was to go to a local business and take some interior and exterior pictures, and also a panorama using the Microsoft Photosynth application.

When people use Bing to search for that particular establishment, my images and panorama would show up giving people a better search result. Later I found out that the Photosynth gigs had been some of the Gigwalkers favorites.

They used to pay a lot more than they do now and they are very simple to do. When I originally applied for the first gigs, I said I would have them completed in 24 hours if I was chosen. So, the next day my husband and I, along with our 8-month-old daughter, set off to go to the first gig at the electronics store. My husband was curious about the process and wanted to tag along, and I figured it would be cool although maybe not totally professional to bring the baby along.

What a neat side job for a momma. Not living in a super metropolitan area, we had to drive about 15 minutes to the store, which ate up some of the potential profit from the gig. The photos will not be accepted unless Location Services is turned on, so I had to back and retake them all. Answering the survey questions required for the gig was a little time consuming but could be very simple had I done it before. I submitted the gig after uploading all the photos, and answering the questions, and I will hear back within 7 days.

Update — We were paid out on the gigs within about 36 hours of completing them. If the company requires more information, they could come back and ask more questions, or even ask me to go back and fix something or retake a picture. The whole gig from start to finish, not including drive time, took maybe 40 minutes to complete.

Especially including drive time. However, I believe the idea of GigWALK is just that…to be able to walk to many different gigs and get them completed quickly, raking in some good spare coinage.

This would be great in areas like Los Angeles or New York City; somewhere really urban where you could do multiple gigs in one go. I had a great time on my little gigs, and it was fun to bring along my family while I did it and even hopefully bank a 5 spot for a footlong sandwich or two. We live in a town about an hour north of San Diego and, while there are a few gigs available here, they were all a good minute drive apart from each other.

However, I think, if you live in a big city, GigWalking could be an absolutely fabulous Gig Hop opportunity! If people like in towns where gigs are miles apart, they should up the value of doing a gig a bit. GigWalking is really fun, really simple, and can make you some easy cash, right to your Paypal.

I had downloaded that app and some where watched a video on how to do the videos. Surprisingly I had seen some gigs that paid I have no intentions of doing this but like you guys I was just curious if this was even a way for some of these folks that could use the extra money. But hey I applaud you for checking it out. From reading the Gigwalkers FB page, I know that a lot of people tend to avoid the Photosynth gigs because of the potential awkwardness with business owners.

IME being in the middle of a very large metro L. If you pinch the map or whatever you do to zoom out on your device and then look at other metros you see much the same pattern; in greater NYC the jobs are in the boroughs, in San Francisco they tend to be across the Bay and down the Peninsula rather than in the City, and in greater L.

With the economy the way it has been Gig Hopping has been working for me! I found Gigwalk to maybe be more work than what it was worth and felt awkward doing some of the tasks.

What I do is check the app a couple time a day am, afternoon, and maybe pm to see if anything new is available on my way home from work is when I will do my gigs. I apply in the morning usually will get approved within the hour.. I like it, I do a week at my convenience. Best part is I get paid within hrs directly to my paypal.
