Get Paid to Shop!!!
There is nothing like getting paid for what you love to do!
Sounds too good to be true? Can you imagine getting paid to shop? Stop imagining and start shopping! You can get paid $10, $20, and even $40/hour just for shopping at your favorite stores, $15 to $90 for eating at your favorite restaurants, receive free tickets plus popcorn to watch the latest movie at your nearby theater, and even get paid for making purchases online... PLUS you get to keep all the stuff you buy FOR FREE! That's right, you not only get all your purchases for free, you get paid for making them, and get travel expenses paid too! Now you can live your dream. That's right, you can actually get paid to shop! And not just basic retail shopping either… the retail, dining, entertainment, recreation, and even travel industries are all filled with companies utilizing paid shopper programs! These programs have been used for decades by some of the world's largest corporations.
Why would someone pay me to SHOP?!
The concept is simple. The success of any business is built largely upon the quality of its service, as well as meeting the standards set forth by the company. A decline in either of these areas directly results in the loss of customers, their loyalty, and of course revenues. Therefore it is very important to the success of these companies that they constantly monitor the level of service and satisfaction they are providing to their customers. Furthermore, this monitoring must be done in a very pure and honest fashion, otherwise the findings will be misleading and potentially disastrous. In other words, of course the CEO is going to receive top-notch service from his employees, but how well is the "average" customer being treated?
Thus, enter the very "Secret" or "Mystery" Shopper. A Secret Shopper is simply someone hired by a company to honestly and anonymously evaluate the quality of service they receive. How well were you treated? Was your overall experience positive of negative? Were the employees friendly and courteous? Did you encounter any problems? The answers to these questions are INVALUABLE to these companies. And, as a Mystery Shopper, there's only one way to get these answers… by SHOPPING!
Besides retail stores and restaurants there is also opportunities to secret shop at:

go for FREE!?
