What if I do not like a mission?

How much money can I make per task?

It will depend on the activity performed. As an example, you could earn $5.00 for visiting an ice cream store and assess the customer service.

 

But you could make $15.00 for visiting a grocery store, or up to $50.00 for making an appointment in a bank and do some questions pretending you are interested in opening an account. Just keep in mind that the missions with a higher payment require a little more work and time.

Every marketing company does it via check which is sent on a particular day of the month.

The answer is no; you can find some companies working outside of the United States too.
