Gigwalk

About Gigwalk

Gigwalk is a mobile platform that pays Gigwalkers to complete local tasks for businesses, such as checking product displays, prices and promotions in stores and answering questions with photos. The Gigwalk site still recruits workers and lists gigs paying $3 to $100 or more via PayPal, but its iPhone app has not been updated since December 2019, so expect few gigs in most areas.

Who can apply

To work with Gigwalk, applicants need a smartphone with internet access to access and complete tasks via the app. There are no specific educational requirements, but applicants should be detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable following instructions. Basic skills like taking photos, answering questions accurately, and navigating retail environments are essential. Experience in retail, fieldwork, or mystery shopping is a plus but not mandatory. Success on the platform often depends on timely task completion and maintaining high ratings, which can lead to better gig opportunities over time.
