At the time of writing this article, they are doing a type of data collection gig whereby users are required to backup their images to Google and submit to the highflyers team in order to aid in AI development and technological research in Africa.

According to the information provided, the images submitted willingly by the users will be needed in enhancing AI development and testing. Currently, they are in a partnership with village Labs, so the images being curated will play a big role in AI testing and development.

Therefore, contributing to the development of tech will also fetch you some additional income which we will talk about shortly.

How Does It Work

Highflyers is a community that connects interested users to daily tasks and challenges that are capable of fetching some side income. The current campaign involves submitting at least 100 photos of yourself to them in order to unlock a 5,000 reward which at the moment has been increased to 10,000 naira.

It’s pretty simple and straightforward, you create an account via their webform and proceed to accept invitation to Villagelabs before you either start referring other interested individuals or you complete the image tasks to earn.

There are two main ways of earning money on highflyers and they are as follows;

1. Completing the Photo Tasks – this is the main deal as long as the campaign is concerned. Users are required to submit at least 100 images of themselves to highflyers to help enhance the development of AI and then get rewarded with up to 10,000 naira cash bonus which they claim is paid to each qualified user, 3-5 days after task completion.

The steps needed to complete the photo tasks will be discussed in this article, so it’s best for you to sit tight and read the article line by line.

2. Referring – when you refer others to highflyers, you earn 1,000 naira bonus instantly i.e. immediately the referred users fill the web form and submit their NIN. You earn a 1,000 naira ref bonus and the invited users also earn the same amount upon opening a villagelabs account.

If your referrals complete the photo task, you earn an additional 3,000 naira. The initial 1k bonus is just like an appreciation for being able to convince someone to even accept invitation. The extra bonus is given immediately your referral completes the photo task and his or her submission is accepted by them.

How to Upload Photos On Highflyers

The first step is to create an account otherwise fill the web form. To do this, simply copy this website url – https://webforms.highflyerscommunity.co/?referral_code=ugochukwuchidi-009e21 and access it using a browser such as Chrome or Firefox.

While filling the form, you will see a column provided for referral code or the username of the person who invited you, feel free to copy and paste this username – ugochukwuchidi-009e21 after which you will be sent two mails.

One will be an invitation to Villagelabs, second will be a welcome link from Highflyers showing you step-by-step guide on how to submit your images.

When you accept the Invitation to Villagelabs and fill the form as well, you will be sent another mail from Villagelabs and the link in the mail is what you will be using to login to your Villagelabs account.

The villagelabs account contains your referral link or username, the option to cash out etc.

The next thing is to Download Google Photos if you don’t already have it on your android device. Most new version of Android have Google Photos already, on most devices, it’s just Photos. Click on it and start backing up all your images to your Google Account.

Ensure you are using your main Google account for all these. It’s important to back up all your images to Google via the Photos app before you commence the submission process.

If all your images have been backed up to Google, simply tap on your profile icon at the top right corner on the Photos app and tap on Photo settings > Preferences > set Face grouping feature.

The essence of activating the face grouping is for Google to detect several faces on the images backed up and group them accordingly. This is important because, all images with your face will be grouped in one category and not mixed up thus reducing the stress.

Once you are done with this step, head to this url – datacompute.google.com/portrait, open the webpage, ensure it’s your main Google account i.e. The one with all your photos backed up. Immediately the webpage loads, the images with your face will be shown to you and if they are up to 100, you can proceed right away to contribute them to Highflyers.

Immediately you are done submitting the 100 images, screenshot the successful page and head to the web form created for submissions – https://webforms.highflyerscommunity.co/submission fill the form with your NIN and also, upload the screenshot of the successful page from portrait and submit finally.

After submitting you wait for a couple of days for a confirmation mail from them that your image task was approved and then you wait for the payment to arrive. Like I said, the payment often arrives a couple of days after completing the task and it comes mostly during weekends.

Withdrawal Steps

Once the image task is approved by the team, you get paid after 3-5 days directly to the bank account submitted during sign up.

So the main headache should be to submit the right images for easy approval. Additionally, you can access and withdraw your referral earnings directly from Villagelabs

Simply login to your account and you will see the total balance as well as a Cash Out button beside it. Tap on it, enter amount and submit. The earnings will be credited during weekends. Referral earnings are also sent to the bank account details provided during sign up.

Is Highflyers Legit or Scam?

Highflyers Gig community is kind of very new. Prior to this photo upload task, they weren’t even existing on any social media platform, they had no identity. So judging from the age of the so called community, it’s not out of place to doubt it’s legitimacy.

Regardless of the fact that users are not asked to make any payment, submitting sensitive details and photos of themselves are not really something negligible. The use of NIN makes the whole thing sketchy to an extent. Don’t get me wrong here, there isn’t anything wrong with submitting images for advancement of AI technology and development but the sensitive details requested from users creates an atmosphere of doubt.

Additionally, I looked up various places for information about highflyers and all I found were adverts and posts talking about their ongoing image submission task, no information about the community prior to the commencement of this project.

Therefore, if you wish to participate and submit your images, it’s best to bear in mind that there’s a possibility of them not really being genuine about what the images will be used for. There isn’t any legal document or T&C stating how the data collated will be used; hence, participation would mean taking their word for it.

Are There Risks Associated With Participation?

Of course! There are certain risks associated with participating. What makes it even more scary is that, they didn’t in any way disclose any information related to how the images collated will be used.

Neither did they talk about the AI being developed and the role the pictures being collated will play in aiding the development of advancement of such technological project.

Additionally, the NIN and images collected means they have literally purchased one’s identity and as such, anything ulterior done with the images and NIN can be traced back to the participants.

Conclusion

The highflyers gig community has been on the Internet for a while now and I believe most questions people may have in mind have been answered. Users are actually getting paid by the system but then, there are certain risks that no amount of money can cover up for if things should go south.

Additionally, the earnings are not really impressive for the stress of submitting 100+ images. Its not really worth it, unless you can refer a lot of interested freelancers.
