Wanna Be a Mystery
Shopper?
Well
who can blame you! Work when you want and get paid for
shopping. Sheesh, sounds like a dream to most of us. But
this dream can be a reality. People just like you
everywhere are being paid to go clothes shopping, have
dinner at restaurants, get their grocery shopping done,
and even buying the gas to get there. No wonder Oprah
did a full-blown piece about this glamorous little
side-business.
How it
Works
Companies that want to
hire secret shoppers in certain areas post a job listing
to the Secret Shopper companies. The networks are
immediately notified about the new job listings. These
networks are usually membership websites where many
people that are willing to do these shopping jobs
belong. The members are notified about the job posting
and those interested in jobs that are local to them pick
them up.
Not All Networks are Created Equal
As a mystery
shopper, it's important to belong to a good network. If
all you are getting is a place to login where you can
check job postings, that ain't much. We'd join another
network, such as our recommended one above. A good
service should provide you with:
-
Training &
personal attention
-
email
Notification on new offerings
-
Exclusive job
offers to that network
-
A reminder
service
-
Reviews of
companies/jobs from other members
...to name a
few of the features you should expect. Also, it is
critical that whoever is running the network isn't
asleep at the wheel. Time is of the essence and those
new job postings need to be relayed fast so you can get
a jump on them!
