ProxyPics – A Sweet Way to Make Extra Money
The new app I ran across to make some extra money is ProxyPics. At its heart, ProxyPics is a phone app that lets you snap requested pictures of locations and earn $3.25 per picture. If you live in a “popular” area, there really isn’t any limit to how much you can make. It’s awesome to make a quick buck when the notification pops up on your phone with only a couple mins of work!

How ProxyPics Works – Video Explanation
Here’s a video explanation of how ProxyPics works. It explains how you can make money with your phone a bit better than I can:
How Much Can You Make?
The sky is the limit with using your phone to make money with ProxyPics. The only thing limiting how much you can make with your phone is literally your location! For folks that live in higher trafficked areas, there are many jobs each day.
As you might suspect, if you are normally in the middle of nowhere, there are not really going to be many (if any) jobs for you. But for folks in large cities such as LA, Chicago, New York City, etc., there are tons of jobs!
The best part is you can just be walking around town, and you can get a notification to snap a pic of something that you’re already very close to. What’s not to love?
Are There Downsides to ProxyPics?
ProxyPics is a newer startup company. So as you might imagine, the ProxyPics app doesn’t have a ton of users yet. So for some locations of app users, there are not many picture snapping jobs. Some areas won’t have jobs until the popularity of the app increases as the number of users goes up. As you can imagine, for those people in the middle of nowhere, there may not ever be jobs just due to a low demand for pics in out of the way locations. That’s perfectly understandable in my opinion.
As the popularity of ProxyPics increases, there will be more and more clients to request photos. This is because as the number of users increase, it will be easier for clients to get the pictures they need quickly. So, the number of jobs should increase exponentially as ProxyPics gains in popularity. This is great news for those looking to make extra money with your phone.
It is hard to know whether or not there will be jobs in your area unless you give it a try! So, go ahead and check it out now. App filesize is definitely not a concern. At the time of this writing, the downloadable install was less than 8mb. That’s a relief as many simple apps are completely bloated and over 50mb!
One downside some users concerned with privacy might point out is that the app needs to use your location. This is pretty fundamental to how the whole process works, so I think it is a worthwhile tradeoff. You don’t want a notification to a job that’s 200+ miles away, so it’s kinda obvious that ProxyPics would need to use your location.
To me, all of these “downsides” are pretty much expected with a new app. So, I cannot really fault ProxyPics for any of these. I do expect this to be a really awesome way to make money in the coming months as the popularity increases.
Final Thoughts
ProxyPics is a cool new way to make money with your phone. You should definitely give it a try as it is small to download and install can really earn you some nice money if you live in a popular area!
