SECRET SHOPPING

Another thing I like to do is Secret Shopping. I've been doing it for about a year now and really enjoy it. You aren't going to make a lot of money, so don't go into it thinking that will happen! My favorite thing about it is all the free meals! We eat out two or three times a week and get paid for it! Everything from fast food restaurants to Fancy 4-Star Restaurants!

If you are interested, check out Volition.com. It will give you lots of information--lists of the companies you can sign up with, forums to talk to other secret shoppers, and just lots of general information. Remember, it should not cost anything for you to sign up with these companies! There are lots of scams out there, so beware.

In Secret Shopping, you are not allowed to divulge names of clients (companies that request secret shoppers), so please don't ask me places that I work for. I will tell you that there are jobs out there for shoppers at fast food restaurants, bars, family restaurants, fancy restaurants, banks, drugstores, grocery stores, clothing stores, movie theaters, pet stores, apartments, and so on. Anything you are asked to buy, you will be reimbursed for (or asked to return). The pay per job varies by company, but some pay only reimbursement for dinner, others pay an average of $7 to $15 per job. Some pay more, but you will find that the more they pay, the more complex it is and the longer it will take you to write your report!

Here is a company that is looking for secret shoppers. Please be so kind as to use the following serial number when you apply so that I will get credit for referring you. Thanks! 7924CAIGIIOL
