Mystery Shopping
You see advertisements all the time for a list of mystery shopping opprotunities all the time. They want to charge you $39 to tell you where to go. You pay the money and find out that they give you a list of places but those places really don’t know what you are talking about or are no longer in business.
It is hard to find this information but you can be a mystery shopper and get it all for free. Of course they pay you pretty well too. Don’t pay anyone for a list of places to sign up to. Unless, of course, you buy it from here. I’m sure I have the link here somewhere.
The one place I have found that pays pretty good for shopping is a place called Shop’n Check Worldwide. Their program is quite extensive and depends on your zipcode. They will filter results for a specific distance from your zipcode and notify you when there is a new opprotunity in your area.
Some of the programs they have will reimburse you for the purchases you make and others will give you money. Depending on the area you live in, you could possibly make a small additional income doing this.
Please don’t think you will be able to make a living doing this. I really can’t see how you could do that. But don’t take my word for it. You will probably want to look through your area and see the payout fees before determining that.
The area I am in will not sustain a small dog. Not very many shops. But there are enough that I imagine that if I were in Atlanta, or any other large city, I could possibly do this full time. It would be a good supplemental to any income you already have.
Be prepared to spend time doing the shopping. There are specific rules that each one has. Each opprotunity is different in these rules as well. There are some which are multiple opprotunities. Maybe serveral different stores of the same chain in your area even.
The experience that I have with this is that actually completing the shopping is quite tedious and time consuming. Take a look at the fees they offer as compensation and see if you think it is worth your time to do. You will probably find quite a few in your area that you even already shop at. Those would probably be the easiest.
While this isn’t really an online money making opprotunity. I thought I would point out that alot of these “list” things you might see in Google Ads you can get for free if you just do a bit of research.
