From our "No College Degree Required to Work at Home" series, becoming a mystery shopper is a valid and satisfying way to make extra income. You are hired to evaluate companies you shop with based on criteria such as the are you live in. Many times you will "pose" as a customer to evaluate the service you receive completely anonymously.
Mystery shoppers should never pay to get a job and should watch industry news for the latest scams when signing up to new companies. Also, be ready to take an exam and pass it before you are asked to take on assignments. The work can be sporadic, depending on the company you sign up with, so consider this supplemental income in your spare time.
When filling out an application for this work at home job, they may ask for:
- you to describe your last customer experience
- the locations or distance you are willing to travel
- your hobbies or interests
- your automobile make, model, year
Mystery shopping can be fun, depending on the assignments you take or the company you sign up for. There are mystery shoppers for the entertainment industry (amusement parks), bars and clubs, and even casinos.
There is a large list of companies that hire Mystery Shoppers at mysteryshop.org. |
