]]> Once you have found a suitable place to search for work, there are a couple of things to keep in mind about mystery shopping job boards

  • The best things in life are free. Never pay to join a site or receive a list of providers. They are all available for free. The lists are nothing other than the same information you can receive for free. 
  • Keep it a secret. It cannot be stressed enough in this age of identity theft that you should never give sensitive information out to strangers on the web. A real hidden shopper provider will not ask you for information such as your credit card or social insurance number.
  • Keep mum. If you do find work, you are going to be required to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is a serious legal contract that should not be entered into lightly.

 

The last thing to remember when searching for work and a place to find work is to have fun. Hidden shopping might not make you rich, but it can be an enjoyable and profitable way to spend your free-time. So check your favorite mystery shopping job boards regularly – the better ones are updated all the time – and get out there and shop.

]]> These points should not discourage you from seeking employment as a hidden shopper. Many people report earning between 500–1000 dollars a month. All it takes is a little perseverance and research. The logical first step is to search out all the mystery shopping job boards that service your area. A web search engine will provide you with many hits, but you could spend hours combing through looking for local jobs from reputable providers. A better place to start is by reading some blog kept updated by other more established hidden shoppers. There is a whole community of hidden shoppers with groups on all of the popular social-networking sites. If you are not already plugged into this virtual community, start an account and join one or several of the many groups available. These are a great place not only to find work, but they also provide a wonderful forum for newcomers to learn the ropes and the more experienced users to share their hard-won wisdom. They can also be an invaluable source for mystery shopping job boards .

]]> If you are reading an ad promising a six figure salary working as a qualified hidden shopper, you had better keep reading for the inevitable sales pitch. The truth is that the best way to find work in this field is through the many mystery shopping job boards available on the Internet. The hard truth of the hidden shopper world is that a six figure salary is impossible. Going on store visits can be a great way to some extra money or getting some free merchandise in your spare time, but there is hardly any possibility that it will make you your first million. There two main restrictions on the possible salary

  • Relatively low pay – Hidden shoppers are meant to replicate the typical costumers experience and allow management an insider view into their operations. There is no degree or highly specialized training needed for the job, and as such, the pay scale reflects this.
  • Transportation time versus working time – Many mystery shopping job boards will post assignments that include multiple locations for a single business within a one day period. This allows the hidden shopper provider to turn the findings into useable data immediately, but it requires that the shopper travels from location to location. There are virtually no jobs that will pay for the travel time, thus, you might be paid 40 dollars for two hours work, but may have to spend five hours in transit without being paid for the same.
