Are there any mystery shoppers out there? Any good stories to tell? Many people think that it's not a real thing that people do. It took me years of contemplating the idea and wondering how does someone get to do that??? Well I did soome research and found it is quite common and very easy to do. It doesn't cost anything to begin so you can start with no money. Of course there are shops that cost you money but you always get reimbersed..plus keep the product and/or get paid for it.
What's your favorite shop...I like the teller bank shops because they are easy and usually pay 10.00 or more. I am in and out within 5 min. Not bad pay for a quick stop at the bank.
Anyway I would be interested in hearing from others.
For those that would like to start...go to
www.volition.com for lots of valuable info. And remember...never never never pay to mystery shop. You can get links to most of the shopper websites from volition. Good luck

Some shops allow and even encourage you to take your kids.

This is a great article for me as I have been trying to decide if I wanted to try this or not. It always sounded like fun but I had never known anyone personally who had done it and could verify that they were real. I want to thank you for your article, you have helped me make up my mind.

I am glad you found it. I wondered about it for years. One day I responded to an email about it, did a little research and I was off and running.
Good luck to you, I hope you have alot of fun with it.

Having shopped in various stores and disliking the service and condition of the store, I would love to do this. Thank you for the post.

I've signed up to a few places, but they send me crappy stuff. Like getting my eyes check at Pearl Vision. I have 20/20 vision, how can I buy the glasses.

I am a mystery shopper, have been doing it for just over a year now. I mainly do pubs and resturants, which is excellent because its a night out and work all wrapped into one! I found it easy to get into as i just replied to a advert on a website and it took off from there. Its an excellent boost in income and also quite fun!
