Good Advice On Making More Per Assignment

As Posted by K. On MysteryShopForum.com

I've been mystery shopping on a part-time basis seriously since Oct.'06. My goal was to make an extra $200-$300. I only take assignments that pay a minimum of $10. If I do take an $8 assignment it has to include reimbursement for a purchase of something I needed anyway. I do mainly bank shops because they are quick and easy. I have reached my goal every month. I also try to take on most of my assignments in the first two weeks of the month. Then I find towards the end of the month, schedulers are calling me for last minute assignments and offering additional money. 

I find this work easier than working for $7-$8 at a retail store and standing for 4-5 hours a night. I set my own schedule and because I do so many bank shops, I have saved money. Some of the shops require that you have an account with the bank. So I opened up additional accounts and make small deposits when I do my assignments. You will not get rich mystery shopping, but who can't use a few extra dollars every month. The key is definitely applying to many companies. Also shoppers must be very detailed-oriented, complete your assignments on time and have the ability to write well.

A Beginner's Mystery Shopping Successes...

As Posted by Dawn On MysteryShopForum.com

I started mystery shopping at the end of January of this year. I have registered with a lot of different companies and now it seems to be paying off. The offers are starting to pour in, but you have to be quick to respond before the other shoppers apply for the same job. I am starting out slow and gaining confidence each new shop that I do. 

I have done a pizza place, a couple of fast food restaurants, a paint store, and the best one yet, I got to do a bowling alley. So far I have only gotten paid for one of the shops, but the rest of the checks should be coming in about the same time, that will be cool. 

I am still nervous about doing the gas stations where you have to get pictures of the pumps. How do you do this with out getting seen? I'm gonna have to try them soon because around my area I can really make a lot of money on them if I group them together. 

Some jobs are low paying some are pretty good paying especially when the end of the month is coming up, so I do a little of both. I can't complain about the low paying jobs yet, the way I see it I'm getting my experience on these jobs. It is kind of like starting a job for minimum wage and as I gain knowledge then I will start to see more money. I do not think that mystery shopping is a scam you can really make money doing this, it is all up to you and how hard you are willing to work at it. Jacob is right apply to as many mystery shopping companies that you can, it may take a while but you are bound to sign up with some that will have jobs in your area.

$15,000 Dollars From Mystery Shopping!

As Posted by Heather C. On MysteryShopForum.com

For the month of February I made over a thousand dollars and maybe worked two weeks of the month for no more than four hours in total a day. This month so far I have made just over five hundred and certainly haven't worked hard or long. I have been doing this since April and have made over fifteen thousand dollars working very part time; I have another business I run too. I have also gone out for PAID dinners at least four times a month plus a paid stay in a first class hotel around the corner from my home.

While at first things seem slow if you make a point of doing detailed reports and being reliable you will find that companies want you first and offer you the best jobs out there. In addition I have never paid a company except for Shadow Shopper in the beginning at a very low cost and MSPA and that was to get certified. Beware of those you pay for as it is unnecessary!!!
