Hi Jacob,
I want to thank you for your information about all the Mystery Shopping Companies available. They have been extrememly helpful.
I have been doing this for almost a year now and I am now starting to actually make money. I work for about 15 companies regularly and am still registering with others. There are certain ones that have more jobs in certain states than others and I have had to go through and find the ones for my area. I have had dispatching experience and that has helped me a lot being able to schedule the jobs on certain days in certains areas for different companies. That definitely helps on the expense end of it. You have got to be able to “hustle” so to speak.
At first its hard when you are putting money out on all your jobs and it takes 30-60 days to get a paycheck, but once you figure out what companies you like and have your paychecks coming in, its great!!! I love it. Good Luck to you all,
Luci
Here’s another story:
You ask about positive experience, well this hobby is gratifying. I did several jobs for a company. Two weeks after the last assignment, a scheduler called me and asked if I could do two faraway jobs for them. I was told that they needed some one with skills and dependability. I was offered a generous compensation. The two locations in questions would have completed the project for the company. I was more than happy to accpect these jobs.
I received a check from a company and it bounced. My bank charged me $10. After 7 weeks and several messages the company sent me a check. They included the $10 additional.
Very educating story, saved your site for hopes to read more!
