Be Conspicuous and Earn Points
I know some of my readers regularly revolve around the neighborhood searching for treasures. Sometimes I wish someone would fill my gas tank up or pack me a lunch. What if you could get points for stopping at businesses that fall in your path? Those points would translate into cash. Well, it might not be something you could quite your job for, but there is a new form of mobile marketing that WeReward covers. If you have a smart phone, like a iPhone or Android (Blackberry coming soon), you could make a few dollars while you are on the road doing what you normally do.
Tasks might be something like taking a photo of a business front or stopping in. It might not be worth going out of your way, but if you plan to eat at that restaurant anyway, or are driving on that side of town, why not rack up a couple points? It might just end up covering part of your phone bill for the month or go towards your gas. You just might meet new people, as they inquire what the heck you are doing snapping a photo with your phone and wearing such fashionable duds. Who knows…that could be enough for them to hand you a stack of 1930s fedoras or grant you an interview for your website.
Have you tried it? If you have, let me know what you think.
(By the way, you can’t swipe photo from the internet or take it with your regular camera because it KNOWS somehow that your phone took it because computers and phones and networking platforms talk to each other and secretly rat you out. Like Hal9000.)
