Google is hiring you! Sort of. They’re basically looking for people across to USA to go door-to-door to businesses and collect information like operating hours, types of payments accepted, and take pictures inside and out. This will all be integrated into Google Maps, I’m sure. While you’re there, they want you to try to sell them AdWords. The information you gather will get you $2 for each business, and when Google calls them back and verifies the information you provided you get $8 for a total of $10 for each business.

As long as you get at least $25, you’ll get a check, just like Adsense. I recommend signing up, and if you’re approved, it won’t hurt to go out on a weekend for a day and collect as many business’s information as possible. It would be easy to go out after work for an hour or two and collect a few on your commute back.

Google Local Business Referral Sign-Up

I feel sorry for the businesses in a large city that will have person after person coming by trying to get their info. As far as I know, Google doesn’t provide territory information, but that might change as well.
