Companies throughout the United States and Canada are always seeking new secret shoppers to provide them with the evaluation data they need. They pay secret shoppers (aka mystery shoppers) to go to stores and restaurants you probably frequent already to shop or eat for free! After the shop, secret shoppers would then send back a detailed report of their experience during the shop. Companies use this information to make sure the service is as it should be as well as to find any problems with their business.

Males and females, people of all ages and in all areas are needed to become secret shoppers. As there are hundreds of companies requiring this feedback information, there is usually more jobs available than shoppers and as such, companies are always looking
for new recruits. If you are reliable, can follow instructions and accurately describe your experience while on the shop, you too can become a secret shopper!

Secret shopping has been great for a lot of people seeking extra income on the side or for people who have busy or erratic schedules. One of the great aspects of secret shopping is that jobs are usually very flexible. Once registered with a company, you have the option of only accepting the jobs you want and are under no obligation to accept any. Choose jobs that best fit your schedule or interests you the most. Secret shopping is ideal for college students, stay at home moms, and many others who lead busy lives.

Pay schedules for secret shop or mystery shop jobs vary, but can range from $20 - $50 an hour. Some jobs only take 10-15 minutes of your time and would pay from $10 - $15 or more. Many shoppers schedule multiple jobs on the same day and in this manner, can complete several jobs in one trip. Many find the compensation more than fair, as jobs are relatively simple and straight-forward provided shoppers are organized and responsible. On top of being paid for your time, secret shoppers also get reimbursed for expenses on the job. Imagine not only being paid, but shopping and eating for free!

A typical retail store shop may require you to remember a couple of key points to look for while on the shop. For instance, when you enter the store, did an employee greet you? Was he/she pleasant or seemed indifferent? Next maybe you are to check to see if a particular display is up properly and make a mental note of this. Other things to look for are general cleanliness of the store. Are the shelves stocked properly and in an orderly fashion? How is foot traffic in the store during your visit? You are also to look for a certain product and make a purchase of that item. Do they have multiple sizes/versions available? Was it easy to find? While making the purchase, were you charged the correct price? These and many other concerns of this nature are what shoppers must take mental note of, and later report. Each job will have different criteria to look for and detailed instructions will be provided prior to your acceptance of that job. Typically, total time for a retail store shop can vary from about 5 – 15 minutes.
For a typical restaurant shop, you are to take mental note of the criteria set forth in the instructions provided prior to the job. The shop would begin as you enter the restaurant and make reservations for yourself and your companion. How long does it take for you to be seated? Is the restaurant busy? How would you rate your host’s demeanor? When you do sit at your table, has the table been cleaned already or does someone clean it while you are seated? How long does it take for a server to get your order? How long does it take for you to receive your meal? How would you rate its appearance, freshness, and taste? After you leave the restaurant, you would then answer similar questions and write up your experience. Most restaurant shops not only reimburse the cost of your meal, but also that of your companion's. Typically, total time for a restaurant shop would be the length of your meal, which can vary from 30 minutes to an hour or more.

As your own boss, you decide how much you want to work. Secret shoppers are considered independent contractors, and as such, you decide which jobs you want to accept and which to decline. You are under no obligation to accept a job just because it is offered to you.

This flexibility makes secret shopping a great source of income for stay-at-home moms or dads, college students, or any one else looking to earn money in their spare time. Accept and work as little as 1 job per week or as many as you can handle. Many secret shoppers consistently earn several hundred a week working in their spare time, while others even earn up to several thousand a month working multiple secret shop jobs. How much you want to work is ultimately up to you.
We are so confident that secret shop jobs are available in your area that we offer a 30 day money back guarantee to members where work is not available through our service.

Bring a family member or friend with you and have fun out on the job. Most jobs allow for shoppers to bring a companion so long as the job is completed properly. Some jobs even reimburse your companion’s meal, entrance fee, or shopped item. This is ideal for stay-at-home moms or dads that have to look after their children. Spend time with family or friends and work at the same time!
Aside from retail store or restaurant shops, there are also miscellaneous shops. These can include going to amusement parks to rate their service or frequenting a movie theater to give your opinion on a movie. Enjoy places other people pay to visit for free while working on the job. Job types can vary and may change with time and need.
Eat at popular restaurants such as Olive Garden, Chili’s, Outback Steakhouse, and many others for free on the job. Not only do you get a free meal, but you get paid for your time as well.

I performed my first job the same week after I signed up. It was quick and easy and probably the easiest way I ever earned money!

I wasn’t sure about the whole secret shopping thing at first but after signing up and receiving several job offers, I was a bit more at ease. And after receiving my first check, I was assured this was for real. It’s a great way to earn money especially since my schedule is so hectic.
