Mystery Shopping - What Do You Think?

Well, I guess this is kind of in the grey area of making money online...but I thought I'd share it with you because it is a method of making money.

Mystery shopping like many things has been around awhile. Also, like many other avenues available for earning extra money, chances are it won't make you rich...but you can earn some cash and get free stuff along the way.

I've been doing it for a little while now and it's sort of neat - I joked with my wife that it is like a covert operation. Plus, it's free for the most part - well, you might spend a small amount up front when shopping for certain things, but you are reimbursed by the company usually within a month depending on how they send their payments.

You've probably seen products like this one - Get Paid for Shopping and Eating Out

You can buy a product like that which provides more detailed information and perhaps a comprehensive list of companies to work for... However, you can do research and apply for free as well.

A good site to use is - http://www.mysteryshop.org/ - it's the trade association for mystery shoppers.

Just to note...some of the things I've done so far are - Talk about TVs at an Electronic Store, eat dinner at a bar, time fast food restaurants, call pizza delivery shops and visit some local attractions
