THE BASIC SECRETS OF MYSTERY SHOPPING

	By now, most of us have heard of mystery shopping and we think we have a pretty good idea of what it is. Some of us even thoughts about it, maybe even purchased one of those $29.99 deals that promised we’d be rolling in money within a few short weeks but never really explained how we were supposed to do that. Frustrating.

	Mystery shopping is a work at home job that allows you to set your own hours, be your own boss, experience people, and often walk away with free merchandise as well as a paycheck. An average person can actually earn a full time income from mystery shopping.

	Mystery shoppers are regular men and women who are paid to secretly evaluate various aspects of businesses. Often a trip to a restaurant, a shopping trip at the mall, or a night out at the movies is not only reimbursed, but the time it takes is paid for as well. This is the basics of mystery shopping, and the industry is growing by leaps and bounds every year.

	For the company a mystery shopper provides invaluable advice. Often a company can tell if management is doing the job they are supposed to, if customer service is serving the customer, and the overall quality customers have when visiting the establishment. Few things drive away business as fast as a poor experience dealing with staff or quality. People want to feel as though they received a good value for their money. An establishment with poor service is never a good value.

	So far it sounds like a good job from home. For those who don’t think working at home really suits them because they are concerned about not having enough outside contact with people, this job is the perfect solution. But of course you are wondering how does anyone get a job from home like this?

WORK FROM HOME, NOT A JOB FROM HOME

	First, let’s approach working from home jobs with the right attitude. Actual J-O-Bs from home are extraordinarily rare. That would be the circumstance most people already have without having to leave their home and go to another building. They have a boss, set wages, set timeframes for working, and limited vacation. If they want a raise, they have to ask for it.

	Working from home more often means none of those things truly apply. You are in control of your time. If you want more money, you work more. If you need a vacation or an emergency day off, you take it. Working from home means that you are the boss, in most cases you can consider yourself an independent subcontractor.

	So now that you are ready to work for yourself and be in control of your own time, consider whether mystery shopping is right for you. It comes with pretty good pay if you land enough jobs. Just like any situation that will free up your time and put you in control, you will need to have an aggressive streak about you. These jobs are available but you need to go after them. Nobody is going to call you up and ask you if you would do them a favor and come be their mystery shopper for the day. Jobs do go quickly, but an individual who is dedicated to being successful can do it as a mystery shopper

ARE YOU A SECRET AGENT SHOPPER?

	Many of us are already mystery shoppers, we just don’t have anyone to give our opinion to and we aren’t receiving paychecks for it. But we do know when we are receiving a good value for our money. I have been so appalled at service in restaurants that I have left a measly twenty five cent tip with a note that the service was horrible.

	Beyond knowing a good value when you see it, a secret agent shopper has to be quite observant. Can you walk into an establishment and have a good working knowledge of what their shelves should be stocked with? Do you notice when there’s enough dust covering merchandise that you’d prefer not to buy it anyway? The ability to pay attention to these types of details could make you a very valuable mystery shopper.

	You also need an impeccable memory. You can’t be seen wandering around the store fingering the merchandise and then writing in a little notepad. It is vital that the store you’re evaluating doesn’t know that it’s under evaluation. Of course they are going to pay attention to you and make sure you’re finding everything just fine if they suspect that you are going to tell their boss something about them. You are going to have to remember the details at least until you are in the privacy of your car.

	As a professional shopper working from home, you are going to have to present yourself as a professional. If you are giving a negative report about a salesperson, make sure you know their name, or a very clear description of what they look like. Most receipts come with some sort of identifiable marker on them, such as an actual name but more often a coded number. By the way, though it is seldom mentioned it is also equally important to know the names or descriptions of exceptional employees when making a positive report.

READY TO SHOP FOR MONEY

	So now you have a pretty good understanding of the job and what is basically expected of you and now you are ready to begin shopping for money. There are a few things that you need to be aware of before you plunge out into the world of cyberspace and hit the search engines.

	Nothing of value comes for free. While there may be one or two floating around out there, I certainly have not found a mystery shopping employment guide that comes without some amount of nominal cost. Not all of them are worth the postage we used to have to put on the envelope to mail them the check. Before you whip out that credit card, take a moment and get some good advice.

	My favorite place for everything mystery shopping and everything work at home is this great website I found with all kinds of information I didn’t even know I needed. Slip Allworkathomeguide into your browser and hit go. This website will help you every step of the way in finding the right work at home opportunity and the right mystery shopping experience for you.

	The All Work at Home Guide has links to sites that can give you what you’re looking for. I went to check out the link to their mystery shopper affiliated program, but the best part was I didn’t have to purchase anything blind. The whole thing had already been explained to me in the article. There’s nothing more frustrating than purchasing an empty promise and realizing they were careful with their words to illustrate one thing that really meant something else. None of that here. Just straight forward point blank information.

	It can be wonderfully exciting, and maybe just a little bit scary, to become your own boss. The limitations are now only set by you, and the possibilities are also set by you. Working from home as a mystery shopper can be a rewarding and lucrative experience. Most people find that once they start they don’t ever want to try anything different.
