Mystery Shopping

So, I recently found another way to earn some extra money. I have started doing some Mystery Shopping. Mystery Shopping, according to Wikipedia, is defined as "a tool used by market research companies to measure quality of retail service or gather specific information about products and services. Mystery shoppers posing as normal customers perform specific tasks -- such as purchasing a product, asking questions, registering complaints or behaving in a certain way -- and then provide detailed reports or feedback about their experiences."

I have only done a couple shops so far but I am really enjoying it. Even though most mystery shops are done in person, I have included it on my online money making blog because after you complete a shop you are required to submit an online report.

There are confidentiality agreements that you have to sign/agree to when you are hired by a Mystery Shopping company so I really can't give any details about what companies I am working for or where I have done my shops. But if this is something that you might be interested in, I highly recommend checking out the Mystery Shopping forum at Volition

I wish you luck with this, I know you can really make some good money... Last year my brother in law made $20,000 from Mystery Shopping alone!! He and my sister eat out several times a week and always have a great date night scheduled for Saturdays when my mom can watch their daughter. My sis is a stay at home Mom and she does shops during the day when doing her regular shopping, too!

Good luck! :)
