I did them when business was slow, they paid 25-35 per job. Wasn't worth the drive or the amount of computer work.

Same here! I did a handful of them a few years ago, but they simply don't pay enough for the time and travel involved. From what I can tell, you would have to get a bunch of companies to work for that would let you have a few days time to schedule at your convenience so that you can do a lot of them back to back, i.e., drive from one to the next to the next, etc., and then do all the uploads in the evening. At what these companies pay, you'd have to do a dozen or more a day to make any kind of income at all, and you'd still be working for peanuts!

After doing 1, I figured out quickly, it just wasn't worth the time involved.
