If you already do physical work for a business, you can earn up to $20 per hour for footage with Shift.
If that describes your job, Shift may provide another way to earn from work already happening during the day. Shift pays up to $20 per hour for footage.
Hands-on industries
Shift works with cleaning, construction, repairs, maintenance, landscaping, agriculture, automotive, electronics repair, retail operations, and food-service businesses.
Your title does not settle the question. Two people called “technician” may do completely different work. The application asks about the tasks you perform and the setting where they happen.
Permission comes before recording
Employees need authorization from the business. Do not assume that working somewhere gives you the right to record it.
Before participating, identify who can approve recording and clarify:
- Which tasks may be recorded
- Which parts of the workplace are off limits
- How customers and coworkers will be protected
- Whether paperwork, screens, labels, or processes are confidential
- How recording equipment fits existing safety rules
If the business wants several employees involved, ask the owner or manager to apply as a business.
How payment works
Shift pays up to $20 per hour for footage. Shift does not guarantee that a minimum number of hours will be offered.
