Get Paid To Shop, More Question and Answers

Good Day,

This is Sha-Day coming back to you with more resources. Becoming a mystery shopper is a great way to supplement your income or even make a career out of this.

Today, I am presenting you with more questions and answers about Getting Paid To Shop.

1. How much can I make a month?You should expect your income will fluctuate from month-to-month. If there is a good demand for mystery shoppers in your area, and you have plenty of time available to you, it is entirely possible to make up to $1,000 to $3,000 in a month's time in actual cash and high-end freebies depending upon the types of assignments you do. Experienced shoppers who live in major market areas and also do audio and video shops, or get involved in complementary activities such as report editing or scheduling can make double or triple that amount.

2. How do I know which companies are legitimate? You can see if the company is a member of the Mystery Shopping Providers Association (www.mysteryshop.org), many of the larger ones are. A final check can be with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) to see if any complaints have been registered against the company before you do work for them.

3. What kind of experience do I need? Does previous work experience or education help me in any way? You don't need any specific experience to be a mystery shopper. Some of it could be on-line based. It is important to be good with e-mail and working with attachments, and have basic word processing and spreadsheet skills. You should also have good communication skills--both writing (although you don't have to be at the level of winning a Pulitzer), and the ability to carry on a conversation with employees of businesses you will be interacting with in doing your assignments. Personal qualities like being observant, reliable and having a good imagination are also very important to being a top mystery shopper.That said, an initial plus (until you get actual mystery shopping experience) would be any prior work experience or education in retail, financial services or apartment leasing (since many shops fall into these industries), customer service or the field of market research. But if you don't have any prior "credits" in these areas, don't worry. It won't keep you from being a mystery shopper if you present yourself the right way.

Is Mystery Shopping For Real?

Good Day,

This is Sha-Day coming back with more Get Paid To Shop and/or Eat Programs. The internet has changed this industry, and made becoming a mystery shopper easier than ever before. Mystery shopping can play a role in supplementing your income (or lack of) while you work on getting to where you really want to be. Or it can simply be good steady money that fits in with the life you lead.Here's some questions you may asked.

1. Is mystery shopping for real?

Mystery shopping is one of the few things out there in the sea of work-at-home junk that is legitimate. I wouldn't waste my time with it if it was not something I had a positive experience with and knew that others could too.

2.What are some of the advantages of being a mystery shopper?Flexibility--make money when you want to on your terms, and don't when you have other things to do! The ability to be home-based is another great benefit. Plus, while you can earn nice money on a regular basis, you can also get lots of things for free that you might otherwise have to pay for out of your own pocket.

By doing mystery shopping, you can actually make your household budget go further, and possibly get to do things (like go out to a fancy restaurant), you would not otherwise get to do as often, with someone else footing the bill.

3.How much can I make for each assignment?If you do higher-paying service category shops (such as apartments, home builders, car dealers, testing centers, gyms, oil changes, banks), you can typically make between $20 and $40 per assignment, or a dinner restaurant shop can pay $35-$100 in free food/drinks.

Some of the newer technology-based shops that involve the use of hidden video equipment during the job can pay as much as $100! Retail assignments typically pay less ($8 to $15), although a "purchase and return shop" can get you up to $25. Fast food shops pay at least from $8-$10. And you can get free food and Shop fees can vary depending upon where you live.An assignment can take as little as a half hour of your time. The more you are asked to do, the more the assignment pays.

If you focus on the highest-paying assignments, you can become a top-earning mystery shopper.I will have some more questions and answers next time. Here is another resource to add to your portfolio.

Shopper Testimonial:

I find it very exciting to work as a Mystery Shopper. This is an extremely fun and easy way to earn extra money. The extra money I earn working as a Mystery Shopper is actually helping me fund a family trip to Europe this summer. My first Mystery Shopping experience started with a Business Evaluation Service over a year ago. Working with BES has been a pleasure. Their website is easy to navigate, and very informative and updated on a regular basis. But the real draw is the fantastic people at BES. Their professionalism and ethics is unmatched in this industry. I work with several other Mystery Shop Companies and I have been able to compare & evaluate these types of Companies, and I would have to say by far, Business Evaluation Services is an Mystery Shopper industry leader.On a personal level, I do appreciate the assignments I am assigned to..I hope I continue to get many more assignments. I have learned so much and I continue to push the bar higher to become a better Mystery Shopper. I have enjoyed working with everyone at BES, especially Nina. She has always been kind and professional and most of all fair.-Sincerely, Joe T.

Business Evaluation Services is one of the few online companies that provide a great website, professionalism, and "real" human beings who give assistance and personally respond to email. This all adds up to a great experience that makes the work "fun"! Thanks BES for allowing me to be a part of your team. Keep the shops coming; I cannot get enough! -Anthony S.
