Next, follow these steps to get started:
Step 1. Download the App and Create an Account
You can download the app here. When creating an account, you can choose to sign up with an email address or you can log in with your Google or Facebook account.

We'd recommend using a secondary email address specifically created for apps like this. That way, you'll keep your main inbox clean and safe in case of a data breach.
Note: Unless you were invited to the app by a specific company, you can ignore the “partner code” section on the sign-up page.
Step 2. Fill In Your Profile
You technically don't have to do this right away, but it's worth getting it over with if you have time.

Like other survey apps, filling your profile involves answering questions about things like your gender, employment, religion, etc. (check the safety inspection section above for more details).
Tip: Be sure to answer the questions honestly and accurately. There's no way of updating your answers later at the moment.
You'll earn $0.25 right off the bat for filling your profile. Sweet!
Step 3. Start Tasking
Once your profile is filled you're ready to start completing other tasks in the Premise app. Pick and choose whatever you like!
If you need a refresher at any time, you can read the sections above to learn more about the ways to earn on Premise, how to cash out, additional features, and more.
5 Ways to Make Money on Premise
1. Surveys
Surveys are the easiest way to earn cash on the Premise app. They consist of multiple choice pick-and-choose your answer type of questions, without any writing required.

You'll typically earn around $0.25 per completed survey, with each one taking around 3-4 minutes to complete.
Tip: It's best to do all your available surveys in one run because surveys often show up and rotate depending on how many people are in your area participating in the same surveys.
2. Locate Tasks
With locate tasks, you'll be asked to locate a type of item or location. For example, you might be asked to find a school, ATM, type of cheese, or similar. Then, you'll have to complete a set of tasks related to that location or item.

Examples include:
- Entering the information of the product/item
- Taking a photo of a product from all sides
- Snapping photos of a location (e.g. a school)
- Record a video of a location
- Answer questions about a location
These types of tasks typically pay around $0.50-$10 each.
3. Exploration Tasks
Exploration tasks require you to complete a set of tasks at a specific location. For example, you might have to go to the Walmart up your street and take a set of photos of a particular product stand. Or, you might have to go to your local 7-11 and take some photos of the current Slurpee selection.

Availability of tasks depends on your location, their need for information in your area, and how many people in your area are reserving tasks for later.
Most Explore tasks pay $5 each but some users have reported earning $20+ for some of them.
Tip: When completing a Locate or Explore task that requires photo-taking, make sure your photos are clear with no obstructions. Also, make sure you're taking a photo of the exact thing asked for in the task description. For more information and to reduce the risk of getting banned from certain tasks, there are training tasks available in the Premise app.
Premise App Tips and Tricks to Earn More Money
Ok, now that you know how to make money on Premise, let's look at some tips to help you earn more in less time.
1. Training Tasks
Training tasks can typically be found in the “My Tasks” section of the Premise app. These are unpaid tasks that walk you through how to properly complete certain types of tasks within the app.
For example, there's a training available on the “best practices” for photo-taking tasks when you first sign up.


Some training tasks will unlock additional paid tasks once you complete them, so even though the training is unpaid, they can be worthwhile.
2. Reserving Tasks
If you see a task that you like but don't have time to do it right away, tap it and hit “Save For Later”

Doing this will give you 24 hours to finish the task without the risk of it expiring. You can do this for up to 20 tasks at a time.
3. Guidelines
