You don't need a full-blown resume to get a photography gig on this app. Just take the best and most high-quality shots for specific real estate properties in your area and answer five questions about the aesthetic of the property, then earn some real cash.

How it works:

• Download the app and check the iVueit map for open Vues in your area.

• Get paid after the client approves your submission.
• Payments can be redeemed via Chase Quickpay or PayPal.

8. Field Agent

Unlike other survey platforms that are mostly done online, Field Agent needs you to be out there. You'll be tasked to gather information, take photos of in-store products, and share your opinions about the experience.

How it works:

• Reserve a task and complete the requirements.

If you're looking for a quick-money app that's been around for quite some time now, MyPoints is the answer. You can either answer online surveys, play online games, or watch some videos.

How it works:
