Secret Shoppers are being utilized by a wide variety of businesses from retailers to financial and is even being performed in the entertainment end of the business spectrum. To give you an idea of the many "shops" which are available they include Retail, Storage Units, Leasing Firms, Apartment, Retirement Facilities, Automobile, Insurance, Financial Banks and Investments, Home Loans and more, the list goes on and on. There are different types of "shops" which include Internet, Phone, Covert Video and In Person. The "shops" pay anywhere from $10.00 dollars to $100.00 or more! On an average a Mystery Shopper can expect to get paid more in the $10.00 dollar to $35.00 dollar per "shop" completed range. Meaning, that there are more jobs available that pay between the $10.00 to $35.00 dollars, however; there are a lot of "shops" out there that do pay in the higher amounts; they are just harder to come by.
Because Mystery Shopping has become popular and a well respected source of income, it has also been given a bad name because of the scams that are running through the internet! Too many people have fallen victim of the scams therefore have a bad sense of Mystery Shopping and believe it not to be a legitimate source of income because of their experience.
I have personally been Mystery Shopping for several years and love it! This is a great opportunity for many people but specifically stay at home mothers or college students! As a Mystery Shopper you are in control of when you work and what jobs you decided to take. The convenience of Mystery Shopping makes it an even better job allowing a person to do what they need/want to do and make money at the same time! So whether you are a stay at home mother looking for extra income or a college student hoping to make some money or even an actively employed individual needing extra cash to make ends meet, don't overlook this opportunity that is available to any gender, age, race and background. Once you start making money Mystery Shopping, who knows you may end up like me and never stop!
