So Google will now pay you $10 to submit Businesses

Haven't seen this posted, but seems pretty interesting.

I imagine you could do 30 businesses an hour in well populated areas.

"Hi I'm a contractor for Google, would you like your business details on Google Maps? Write down your details and I'll be back in an hour or so to pick them up". Take some photos, and you'll probably make over $1k a day fairly easily.

Shame it's in the USA only though!

Thanks for sharing, nice info. Good refferal payout

 

I saw this the other night. Pretty cool.

 

"Google, moving the frenzy from the office... to the streets"

Coming soon.

 

Hmmmm, very interesting

 

This has been posted already, and yep it is a shame it's for the US only

 

Thats a nice idea, bring it to the UK pls

 

I signed up, will see how it goes.

 

Interesting info. Thats a new approach frommgoogle.

 

Good post but I don't think it would be that easy. A person would have to explain Google Local to the owner, if they get to talk with him/her at all, and answer all kinds of questions about not only G but technology in general.

To get the $10 the owner has to verify, which means return the postcard the Local sends. How many will forget all about the visit and throw out the card? I just don't see it as easy money. Can you make some cash doing it? Sure, but I thinks it's a good amount of hard work.

Very hard money to get, i see it almost as a SWETT SHOP money.

 

Interesting information and thanks for sharing it.

 

I don't think Google would do it by snail mail....They would probably do email verification

 

One question I have regarding this ( and I am out of the US so can't sign up at the moment ), is what will happen if the same shop or business is visited several times by the Google rep ??

It looks like this might be a case for those signing up to visit as many businesses as possible, before another local who has signed up does the same thing.

to much red tape , but it could work for someone.

Great. This is a great advertising for Google itself.

 

I already have my business on Google Maps - running a search on maps.google.com for WEBSYS will show it ... but i am not sure if its only showing for me

 

From a simple search box to your doorstep.. That is what i called world domination.... US? it has to start somewhere eh!
