How to Make Money by Legally Working The Streets

I know what you're thinking, but this has nothing to do with hookers, prostitutes, strippers or other sex jobs - so you can take your mind out of the gutter now. Okay, now that we've cleared that up, let's move on.

A fun, cool and completely legal way to make some extra money by working the streets is to do some part-time work for event and promotion marketing agencies. These companies will pay you to literally take their clients' messages, products and/or services to the streets via face-to-face, person-to-person, peer-to-peer and word-of-mouth.

These event and promotional staff/personnel positions are commonly referred to as: street team members, brand ambassadors, field ambassadors and consumer marketers.

As the consumer's frontline connection to the product or service, you're paid to know the product or service and present the information to the customer in a friendly, upbeat, and professional manner with the hope of gaining the customer's product loyalty.

Event and promotional staff/personnel execute programs for products and services that include sports, airlines, appliances, automotive, beverages, bath and beauty products, candy, cereal, computers, electronics, entertainment, e-commerce, energy drinks, financial services, home safety, industrial products, liquor, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, snack foods and more.

What types of events, promotions and campaigns are we talking about?
