Unlike those scams you see on the Internet there
are real mystery shopping companies that pay you to see if various companies
employees are doing their jobs. I use these shops when I go to stores I normally
shop, and thus get paid to shop and reimbursed for part of my purchase. You can
mystery shop retail stores, banks, gas stations, fast food, fine dining,
etc.
The way it works is you go to a store, walk around and generally assess the cleanliness of the unit. You then will have to interact with a sales associate to see if they are aware of a certain product. Every month companies feature certain products and want the employee selling them. Then you have to make a small purchase for which you are reimbursed. So you get the shop pay plus reimbursement. Then you go home and put the report up on the mystery shop online and upload a picture of the receipt. Some shops like banks or car dealerships, don't even require a purchase You just need to get a business card.
There used to be a lot more of these jobs and they
used to pay a lot better in the past. Before the economic down turn almost every national company was mystery shopping their employees.On my best month as a
mystery shopper I made over $1500. Then it became obvious the reason for falling
national sales wasn't bad employees. Companies cut way back on mystery shopping,
but jobs are still there to help supplement your income.And I noticed if you
live in urban areas there are still lots of shops. No so here in rural
America!
To check and see what jobs are available It is best
to go to the Official Mystery Shoppers Providers Association site. This site
shows only registered legitimate companies. Most pay monthly are are
reputable.
