Now Everyone can Work for Google – Big Money Potential
Posted by Jon Lee in Offtopic, tags: Business-Referral, google, money
Google has started a new program where you can sign up to be a Google Business Referral Representative. Your job will be to go around to businesses to collect information (e.g. business hours, telephone number, website) as well as take photos to put onto Google maps.
Easy Money
Google will pay you $10 for each approved business listing you submit. An initial $2 from Google per approved listing and another $8 once the business themselves confirm the accuracy of the listing.
I’m sure each of you will know at least 10 currently unlisted businesses in your area. That’s an easy $100 right there as long as it hasn’t been submitted yet. So hurry and sign up before your neighbor does!

The Catch
Two catches, first is it’s open only to the US right now so I can’t jump on it. The second, you won’t actually be a Google employee. From the FAQ:
Will I be a Google employee?
No. Google Business Referral Representatives are independent contractors to Google, not employees. As a contractor, you’ll be paid according to the terms of the program, but won’t receive employment benefits such as health insurance or paid vacation. Your payments will be mailed to you by check and can be tracked on your personal Local Business Referrals Center.
Can this be a Full-Time Job?
Maybe for a few weeks but you’ll run out of local businesses to submit very quickly especially if other people have read about this too. So my suggestion is to sign-up and get on it quick! This is potential for big money!
