The iPhone WAIT is here, again. This means MONEY.

What’s the sound you hear when something suspenseful is about?

Well, in a popular movie thriller like Jaws or a cheesy soap opera like the Days of Our Lives you’re like to hear something like …

“Dun, dun, dhunn.”

That’s the sound of the new iPhone 5s coming out soon. This means Apple enthusiasts will be eager to be the first to own the new iPhone 5s. The high-demand for the new mobile phone with the awaited IOS 7 is likely to creat long waits outside your local Apple store again. Remember those?

In the past, people in the City have camped out for days waiting to get their hands on the first shipment of iPhones.

Last September, “From New York to Tokyo, people are already lining up outside Apple stores to buy the iPhone 5, which goes on sale Friday. Here, people sit in a queue outside Apple’s flagship store in Sydney on Thursday,” reported CNN.

People will spend day and night in line in order to purchase the new iPhone on the release date.

In September 2012, CNN Reporter John D. Sutter wrote in article titled “How to wait in an iPhone 5 line.” He opens his article with:

“Want to get an iPhone 5 on Friday?

You’ll probably need to wait in line. Or pay someone to do it for you.”

Much like the iPhone 5, the iPhone 5s will have a massive demand in your city or town. This means people will have to wait in line for hours, even days, or will pay someone to do it for them.

Apple isn’t the only one cashing in on the new iPhone release. You can too.

Last year, TaskRabbit secured the first-in-line spot in the downtown Apple Store in San Francisco in order “to promote its online service that allows people to pay someone else to do a menial task for them,” reports Sutter. People will pay anywhere from $40 to $150 for you to stand in line to purchase the new iPhone 5s for them, according to CNET.

The iPhone 5s is set to release September 20, 2013.

According to TaskRabbit, the City is “about to see an increase in the number of line-waiting tasks” over the next week on their site that will be assigned to TaskRabbits who will wait in line at local Apple stores on launch day.

In San Francisco last year a man was paid $1,500.00 to wait in line for the iPhone 5. Go to TaskRabbit.com today and get paid to wait in line next week.

If you don’t believe in easy money, then you likely have never been paid to wait in line.

Charlie Hufnagel was hired last year through TaskRabbit to be the first in line to buy the iPhone 5 in San Francisco, California. He pitched his tent at 10 a.m. the morning of September 17 and waited for 94 hours before he was the first inside the Apple store in downtown San Francisco.

You may not be able to afford the new iPhone 5s, but you can still make money off of it. What are you waiting for, go to TaskRabbit today and make a bid to wait in line.
