An app pays you to take selfies
Can you imagine receiving money for each of your selfies? More than one user would be rich if we adopted this business model. But even though it sounds crazy, there is an app that does it They don't pay much, but you can get up to 20 dollars (about 18 euros) a month if all goes well for a few selfies. And the best part is that it doesn't matter if they are good or bad, what really matters is everything else
It's about the Pay your Selfie app, and you might lose interest in it when you realize it's so much more than a simple photo app that pays you for spending time on it. And it is that their real business is with the brands, who receive countless data and information about the user and their environment thanks to these photos Valuable information that sells for much more than the cents that Pay your Selfie offers for each photograph. Yes, here the business is user data Something that Big Data takes a lot of time doing.
The application itself is a simple photography tool that can even be fun. All you have to do is register and visit it from time to time to consult the pending tasksThese tasks are simple photography propositions: take a picture of your favorite appetizer, take a dinner selfie with your friends , it's a long weekend (photograph your vacation), etc. Each snapshot taken with the app can be valued at between 20 cents and $1 Many of them involve the introduction of some kind of into the frame product Thus, all you have to do is collect selfies until you meet a minimum amount of $20 At that point the user can pick up the check or give it to charity Simple and fun, at first.
But the real deal is behind all this paraphernalia. Pay your Selfie It is actually an intermediary, a marketing platform between users and brands Get data of interest from user photos through its application, create reports and sell them to brands With this, end users get money from their selfies, brands get data that is better valued and concrete than many surveys, and Pay your Selfie stays with a good pinch Everyone wins, as long as privacy is not an issue for the end user.
And it is that a simple selfie with your favorite toothpaste can offer a lot of interesting information to a brand. Issues such as the time, moment and place of use of said product, habits of the user in the bathroom , details about your age, physical condition or image, with what other brands are combined(toothbrush), and many more. Details that a simple image can portray in a simple and, a priori, harmless selfie That is what Big Data consists of , in collecting all possible information from users to later be used in the best interests of each case.As seen in Pay your Selfie, selfies can have more value than users think, although in this casewould be used just so brands can better target their marketing campaigns and their products
