Because i’m interested in becoming a Mystery Shopper
and it has to be free of charge.

no such thing a legit mystery shopping co. the MSPA or msra is an umbrella co that oversees all of them but that is a sham too. they get you to do the survey and then find a reason not to pay you (spelling, etc).

How does someone become a secret shopper or a mystery shopper.?

I would like to find out how to become a mystery and/or secret shopper. I know there are many sites that you can pay for and they say that they well give you jobs, but I would like to see if there is anyone out there who knows from experience. I do not want to spend money on something that does not work. I am in Dallas, Tx.

You do not have to pay to mystery shop. They pay you but not much. I did it for few years a long time ago. Most of my jobs came from http://www.shopnchek.com/ (gas stations/fast food). The best paying jobs came from http://www.productpickup.com/ recruiting@productpickup.com 1-800-443-6127 not sure if that is still their contact info or not but for them I went to stores, bought Coke products, made reports for the date codes and then shipped the soda in for quality control testing. They also do Pepsi but a shopper can not do both Pepsi and coke. The most strange job I did was to buy m&Ms and count the colors. lol

Anyone have any experience with online websites to be mystery shoppers? What websites are the best?

Go to http://www.volition.com/mystery.html and there's a huge list of REAL mystery shopping companies. The rule of thumb I've found is NEVER pay a company to be a mystery shopper. The ones that ask for money are either scams or just aren't worth the money you'd pay them…

below are some of my favorite companies' links. … Good luck

Has anyone ever used Shadow Shopper for mystery shopping? If so, what was your experience and is it worth it?

I was reading about the mystery shopper and it seems like something I would like to do. Any feedback would be nice or names of other Mystery Shopper companies.

Hi, I can help you with that. I’ve done it all the time and It is a lot of fun. You get paid to shop, eat out, and perform other tasks to make sure that companies are good to their customers. You shouldn’t have to pay for a list at all. I do it a few times a week so I can guarantee the companies that I worked with are legit. Some of the shops pay pretty well too.

I live in the San Diego CA area and am very very interested in becoming a Mystery Shopper. Yet, most of the sites I see require you to pay to become one. So, are there sites that don't require you to pay to become a Mystery Shopper?

Is there a real job called a mystery shopper?

I have seen on the internet. Job in your area Mystery Shopper, however they always want you to do a dumb survey. Does a position like this really exsist.

My best advice is never pay to be find work. Mystery shopping does exist but its not as easy as some sites make it seem visit these two websites for more information
http://mysteryshop.org and http://volition.com
Browse around both sites look for forums and information it will become invaluable if you are serious.

What is the best website for becoming a mystery shopper?

admin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:53:07 +0000

Only to the people who are mystery shoppers. I'm looking for one that is free to register for and allows you to shop retail stores and restaurants.

All legitimate mystery shopping companies allow you to register free at their Web sites.

I recommend that you apply to many (at least 20, maybe more) companies to get started. This is not a full-time job where you work for one company. You will be a contractor and will get assignments from many different mystery shopping companies. However, some of the companies to which you apply may never offer you any assignments. It is almost impossible to know which will have the most Mystery Shopper jobs available in your area.

You can find companies by doing a Web search for "mystery shopping companies" and similar terms. Another source for finding legitimate companies is the Mystery Shopping Providers Assocation. None of their members charge a fee to mystery shoppers. (See link below.)

Mystery shopping can be fun, but remember that it is also important work. The businesses you shop depend on you to produce quality, timely reports. Do a good job (e.g., do assignments correctly, turn in well-written reports) and you will be in demand.

Happy shopping!

How to find legitimate Mystery shopper positions?

admin — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:38:06 +0000

Particularly in South Florida. I do know the positions exist because an agency I once worked employed shoppers to validate that stores were properly handling their product and customer coupons. There would have to be an element of organization and recordkeeping that was required to be a good mystery shopper and send back accurate sample data to company. I think I'd be good at this. Any ideas on finding these positions?

Your organization and recordkeeping skills will make you an excellent shopper. You also seem to have good writing skills. Here are some tips to get started and be successful as a Mystery Shopper.

Do not pay to apply to any company. Legitimate mystery shopping companies do not charge shoppers a fee.

Apply to many mystery shopping companies. You never know which companies will have a need for shoppers in your area. A company that does not have a demand for shoppers in your town today could see that change if they land a new client tomorrow.

Be willing to pay your dues. The first jobs you are offered will not be high-paying or glamorous; however, when you show that you will do a good job, you can become eligible for better assignments.

When you accept a shop, do it. New shoppers fail to complete their assignments about 75% of the time. Just by doing what you agreed to do, doing it right and doing it on time, you can make yourself stand out.

Why is there not a mystery shopper program you can join for free?

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:08:03 +0000

Why do you have to pay money to join a Mystery Shopper program? I mean you don't have to pay money to get a normal job in a warehouse or a hospital or even the police department?

You can join shadow shopper for a 5 buck trial for 30 days. IF you find lots of jobs, then u can sign on for the $60 membership. I tried it just because it was $5 and actually made $120.00 on my first job, which was at 6 or 7 different sites for the same company so it was all on one check and this place paid quickly. Well, i joined in feb so i missed canceling my membership by 1 day so had to pay the $60 but made about $500 last year mystery shopping, so i guess it was worth it. Plus you can write it off as a work expense on your taxes.
