I BECAME A PAID SPY!



I wanted to tell you about an incredibly positive business experience that I had and am still experiencing for the past 2 months or so!

It's a self-employment, instant income biz opportunity that has proven itself to me beyond all of my expectations!

For some time now, I've been interested in investigating Mystery Shopping as a way of making instant income.

What I did was to Mystery Shop the Mystery Shopping offers and companies!

______________________________________________

Here's the story:

A mystery Shopping Company was HIGHLY recommended to me by business associates......So, I decided to join this company (it only cost me $4.99 for a 1 month trial) to investigate the whole process including the merits of this company and the feasibility and merits of Mystery Shopping in general (by the way it's been dubbed by the press as "BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR BUSINESS!")

Later in this article I'm going to mention the name of this Mystery Shopping company since this was a TOTALLY POSITIVE experience!!....

______________________________________________

It DEFINITELY went beyond ANY of my expectations!!

O.K., let's back up a bit and explain Mystery Shopping to those of you who are new to this.

A Mystery Shopper is basically a PAID SPY

You are contracted (as an independent contractor) by a marketing company to pose as a customer, visit a business location, sometimes make a purchase and then write a report about your impressions and the quality of the service that you received.

That's Mystery Shopping in a nutshell

But, there's more.....A LOT MORE

Because, not only can you be a shopper, you can be a MERCHANDISER!

Merchandisers are in high demand and receive better pay than the average Mystery Shopper. The pay ranges between $9.00 to $15.00 per hour!....Not bad!

What do they do?

Basically, they are responsible for visiting a retail store and maintaining a company's line of products in that store.

Some of the things you will be doing as a Merchandiser include:

Taking inventory

Attaching coupon displays

Tidying up displays

Placing brochures

Setting up new displays

Handle reorders

Handle any product recalls

Restock products

I think you get the idea......It's a plan that you can have great flexibility with: full or part-time, the hours of your choice, work at your own pace and be your own boss....You can also Mystery Shop, in other words, you can do both!

It's in such demand that you will have more work offered to you than you can handle!

But, wait!....There's more!

You can also be a Paid Interviewer, an Installer, a Demonstrator, a Video Shopper, and some other designations including shopping on the Internet!

I now think that it's time for me to get more specific about MY personal experience with this GREAT company!

If this sounds like an AD....a TESTIMONIAL or personal promotion, then let it be!......Because, my first duty to you as the reader is to let you in on anything that I find that can legitimately boost your income!

That is, legitimate money making offers from LEGITIMATE, no scam companies!

O.K....

After my credit card was processed for just $4.99, with a money-back guarantee, I was taken to a page called: Shopper University

This is a series of over 50 Tutorials and articles about Mystery Shopping and ALL of it's neat variations.

IT'S ALL EXCELLENT AND TOTALLY PRACTICAL AND USEABLE INFO!! (And, per the company it's updated and added to frequently.)

The first thing they advise is that you write a very short biography of yourself and they even give you words and phrases that have been TESTED and proven to work with JOB SCHEDULERS for Mystery Shopping companies.................Phrases like : "detail oriented", etc.

Job Schedulers are the single most important person and thing to be concerned with, since they make the final decision to assign you the "SHOP" and schedule it!

Now,......Without any work on my part, my email box was, within a 2 day period, bursting with job offers from schedulers who had jobs in my area......This is an ongoing service of this company!....

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE LOOKING FOR YOU BASED ON ANY PREFERENCES YOU MIGHT HAVE!....THEN THEY EMAIL YOU WHAT'S AVAILABLE!

Now, and this is no exaggeration, I had approx. 20 job offers by email in the first 2 days!...All were good and all were feasible...

In addition, I received 6 phone calls from Job Schedulers who were very pleasant to deal with!

Well,.........between you and me, I really don't have the time to pursue all of these good offers.....as I'm just investigating this for my readers, but I thought you'd like to know all of the details of my experience.

Now.........to boot!.......This company allows you to also pursue jobs on your own!........And, there were 369 different job offers for me to take within a 25 mile radius of my home!....369!!!!......Incredible!!!

I did take 2 eating assignments since eating is one of my favorite past-times .

One was for a $30 lunch at an upscale Irish Pub near me!....All I had to do is to submit the receipt and fill out an online survey of 2 short pages....No essay questions as it's all multiple choice answers!....Great deal for me!

The other assignment I accepted was to visit a fast food Italian Gourmet Ice company 2 miles away and get reimbursed for a typical $5.00 purchase and receive $18 pay for my little effort. A 2 page survey is all I had to fill out and submit online!....And, all of the other deals are like this and most are better.

______________________________________________

here's more!........

This company also allows you to take a short test online and then issues you a Shopper Certification that can be used to enhance your image to the Job Schedulers!

In case you're wondering about the companies that are recommended to you, I can tell you that they are the biggest and best....One company I dealt with has been in business in Atlanta for over 30 years and is well-recognized by the industry's top trade associations with all sorts of industry endorsements!........

Most of the other companies are also within equal parameters!

So,......if you're interested in Mystery Shopping I can definitely recommend that you get in contact with:

They will lead you by the hand through every step!

Note: By the way, I'm not connected with this company as an affililiate or in any sales capacity. This article was written out of enthusiasm generated from the positive experience I had in dealing with this great company.
