Finding Mystery Shopping Jobs

Finding Legitimate Mystery Shopping Jobs
(updated)

Mystery Shoppers are hired to go undercover to a specific shop.
They are to evaluate the services of the establishment in a
written report. Often, they must take a few photographs of the
area to upload to the Mystery Shopper Company for review.

Mystery Shopping Jobs are legitimate career choice. Although, it
can be very frustrating trying to find a legitimate Mystery
Shopping Job with plenty of assignments to keep you busy.
If you keep looking you will find the right company.

If you really want to be a Mystery Shopper and find legitimate
Mystery Shopper Companies...read the following tips.


1. Avoid Scam sites who promise ridiculous income
Mystery Shopping. We’ve all seen them promising thousands
for a few hours a week. These sites will take your money
and never deliver even one Mystery Shopping Job.

2. Most people are uncomfortable divulging their personal
information: for example, a Social Security Number. If you are
uncomfortable giving out such personal data...don't! Wondering if
the site is secure? Check for https..the "s" acknowledges that
the site is secure. Remember the site does not require your
SSN until you've started earning money.

Once you've earned income you will need to file taxes as an
Independent Contractor with the IRS. Consult the IRS site for
recent, up-to-date, information.

3. Register with a dozen or more Mystery Shopper Companies to
increase the shop offers you will receive. And your potential
income.

4. Don’t get discouraged if your first assignment takes several
weeks. Once a shop is available in your area you will be contacted
by the Mystery Shopper Company.

5. Arm yourself with the right equipment in the beginning of
your career for success. The minimum essentials might include:
A computer, Internet connection, free email accounts, fax,
copy machine, scanner, digital voice recorder, digital camera
or cellular telephone with a camera. And notebooks to keep
track of assignments.

6. Develop a positive attitude. Keep confidence in your
voice. Soon your positive attitude will not be an act but
a habit.

7. Once you are contacted for your first shopping assignment
make sure you understand all the information and directions.
Study the information packets you receive very carefully before
you leave to visit the shop. Complete the shop and return all
the information to the Mystery Shopping Company within the time
frame they specified. Fill out assignment sheets with all the
information requested to the best of your ability. Demonstrate
you have pride in your work, that you are trustworthy, and
dependable. Showing these required traits will lead to many
rewarding future assignments.

8. Keep applying to other Mystery Shopping Companies as
your schedule permits. You might want to make this a weekly,
or monthly routine. Where you apply to 2 or more Mystery
Companies each session. Keep records of all the places you've
applied to. Name of site, web address,
date..et.,

9. Visit the forums to keep up to date and learn what
other Mystery Shoppers are discussing.

10. Visit the message boards or discussion boards on a
regular basis. And ask questions. Communicate with other
Mystery Shoppers for tips,
encouragement, mentoring.
