Google is looking for geeks to start cataloging all businesses in your local area. Google is moving in to actually having specific information for businesses that appear on Google maps. They want you to find out what kind of payment the store accepts, their store hours, and their contact info. Google will then pay you up to $10 for every business you submit (upon verification of course).

As a Google Business Referral Representative, you’ll visit local businesses to collect information (such as hours of operation, types of payment accepted, etc.) for Google Maps, and tell them about Google Maps and Google AdWords. You’ll also take a few digital photos of the business that will appear on the Google Maps listing along with the business information. After the visit, you submit the business’ info and photo(s) to Google through your Local Business Referrals Center, and we’ll pay you up to $10 for each listing that is approved by Google and verified by the business.

All you need to be a successful Business Referral Representative is a passion for helping local businesses succeed, a love for the Internet (some knowledge of Google is great, too), and access to a computer and a digital camera.

So all you need is a camera, and a pen and paper you’re set! This is a great way to make some extra cash if you are in college or unemployed. Now the question is, how long does Google take to verify literally thousands upon thousands of businesses? How fast will Google send that check?
