Mystery Shopping

Ok, we've all heard the ads about getting paid to go to our favorite restaurants, etc., but if you've ever called the number, you usually get a company that wants you to pay to get started, right?! How frustrating is that? I mean, the whole point of getting a job is that YOU are supposed to get paid... not them!!!

I've been working @ home for about ten years now, and I'll tell you... I won't even give a company a second look if they're wanting to charge me... even a small amount!

The good news is, in all these years, I've spent many, many, many hours researching, and found out that there are so many companies that are legitimate, that really do need people to work for them... and aren't gonna charge you for it!

As far as mystery shopping... I haven't done a lot of it... I prefer working AT home, but that's just me. I have become online friends with many people who have LOVED mystery shopping. It's a great deal, if you can find job listings in your city, so you don't have to drive far to do them. I wouldn't count on it for a full time income, unless maybe you're in a huge city, where, of course, there's always more opportunities... but it can definitely be a nice supplement.

Anyway... for mystery shopping companies (the legit ones), advice from those who do it on a regular basis, and even job postings... all completely free... the one site I would recommend is Volition.com . They've been around for years, and are a very trustworthy site. First, they have their regular site, where you can find links to all the companies, etc., but maybe more importantly, they also have a forum, where you can discuss with, and learn from, those who are regular mystery shoppers. And, again, in the forum, is where you can find a lot of companies will post some of their upcoming jobs that they are really needing to fill. I repeat, this is all free! :)

Check it out! Here is the link to their Get Paid page, where you'll find links to their lists of mystery shopping companies, as well as other earning opportunities. There is also a link on the left side of the page to their forums. You don't have to register to the forums to read everything on there, but I would advise it, so that you can post and ask any questions you may have. The people there tend to be very friendly and helpful.

Good luck, and happy shopping! :P
