What you get:
• Pay: $20.00 – $30.00 per hour (based on task/bounty volume).
• Payout Speed: Instant via API routing. No net-30 or waiting periods.
• Impact: You are providing raw, user-generated content (UGC) to build the 2026 People’s Index. We are crowdsourcing a real-time, ground-truth economic dataset to bypass traditional government APIs and track actual price gouging.
Steps:
Onboarding: You complete a 5-minute technical "Location & Quality Check." This verifies your US IP and ensures your device camera meets our UGC standards.
The Dashboard: Once verified, you’ll unlock a map of high-priority "Economic Essentials" (gas, groceries, utilities) needed in your specific ZIP code.
Capture & Submit: Capture high-res, unedited photos (UGC) of the target price tags and upload them through our portal.
Get Paid: Your UGC is verified for clarity, and funds are pushed instantly.
Cost/catch:
• No "Startup Fee": We do not charge you to access our platform.
• The Catch: Data integrity is everything for this model. You must pass the US residency IP verification to unlock the dashboard. To ensure a clean dataset and smooth experience, you must follow my terms to receive payout, which include providing a valid, US-linked payment ID and submitting clear, unblurred UGC.
Who qualifies:
• USA Residents Only: Strict geolocation requirement to keep the 2026 index geographically accurate.
• Payment Rails: You must have an active Chime, Venmo, or Cash App account. We use these specifically because they are US-exclusive and allow for instant peer-to-peer transfers.
• Tech Specs: A modern smartphone with a functional, high-resolution camera to ensure the UGC is legible for our data extraction.
Expires:
• Beta recruitment phase closes May 15, 2026, or when all regional data nodes (50 states) are filled.
