Paid Surveys Program
looking to do paid surveys/ mystery shopping?
im in need of extra income. im an at home mother of an 8 month old little girl. and i been applying to all kinds of paid survey sites/product testing sites, and a mystery shopper thing.
i was wondering what company/website you use and how is it working for you? everything i apply to wants me to do sponsor things that cost money, or want me to pay fees or membership things..
and i dont know which sites would be worth it for what i would get.
just tell me about what program you use and if its prosperous.
Hello. Mystery shopping can be a way to earn a little bit of extra money. Please be careful. While our industry is legitimate, it is also wrought with scam. Any company that asks you for money to get started as a mystery shopper or for a list of companies to shop with is not legitimate. No legitimate company will ask you for money. I have listed some sites below that are legitimate that you should review for more information. Regardless of where you reside across the globe, the best resource is the trade organization for the mystery shopping industry (Mystery Shopping Providers Association). There, you can find all sorts of invaluable information, including legitimate companies. Volition is an excellent resource to talk to other shoppers. Jobslinger is a free site that will show you many (not all) companies that are hiring in your zip code.
Most mystery shopping assignments either reimburse only, or they pay around $10-$15. Video mystery shopping is the more lucrative area of our industry, and assignments usually pay between $40-$100. However, you have to have a proven record in the industry prior to being assigned a video mystery shop.
If you receive checks in the mail with a legitimate mystery shopping firm’s name attached to it, or an email with a legitimate mystery shopping firm’s name attached to it, and either are asking you to deposit a large check to do a wire transfer, do not cash that check, do not deposit that check and do not transfer any monies. Contact the company that is being impersonated and let them know, so that they can notify the FBI.
I hope this helps!
