Mystery Shopping

Consumer Impressions -
I have only done one shop for this company and have not been paid. I am not supposed to be paid until April 21. At that time I will let update about doing mystery shopping for them. Right now they seem to only have job in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas. It looks like they are doing fast food shops. Their questionnaire is real simple. There are not many comment boxes. I really enjoyed doing the secret shop for them and now just waiting to get paid.

Mystery Shopping with Sinclair Customer Metrics

Sincliar Customer Metrics-
This company is has several shops. Some are retail, food and craft store. I would suggest trying them out as your first mystery shopping company. Their questionnaires are simple and pretty basic. The directions for being a secret shopper are easy to understand.  They do ask you to keep all receipt for three months and it does take a month to get paid. Well actually they pay at the end of the next month after the shop. So if you do a mystery shop on May 14 you will not receive a check until June 30. Their only option to get paid is by check which is sent to your house.

Dollar Click or Signup

Dollar Click or Signup-I have been working with this company for only a couple of hours. You can cash out with only one dollar. Complete the offers or just click on the links all sounds easy. The only problem is that I have clicked on sevearl links and stayed on the site as it took me to for longer than requested. I have clicked on about 20 sites and only got paid 1 penny. The rest did not pay me at all. There is a small chat box on the left that you can ask qustions but that is the only way you can find anything out. There is no FAQ anywhere to be found on the site. So I was left trying to figure it out on my own. All and all this site is a bust. I will give it another day or so and make sure. If in a few days nothing comes up I will revise this. I will also check back within a week to see if maybe money was delayed.
Has anyone tried this site? If so what do you think of it?

Cloudcrowd

Cloud Crowd-
This site is great for people who like to write. Cloud crowd employs people to do research and write articles for clients. You have to connect with them on Facebook. I have already made ten dollars with them. They do expect you to use correct spelling and grammar. If your article gets rejected than you get messages telling you what you did wrong so that the next time you may prevent it. However, my spelling and grammar is not the best, so I have got rejected a lot. I have gotten approved some luckily.






                                                                                                                       

VirtaPay

VirtaPay Ok this is a site that is like paypal only they have not luanched yet. They need people to be testers so they pay you $25 just for joining. Then they pay you for logging in everyday. You have to join there blog. So far I have not been able to find anything good about them. I can't even find a launch date. It looks like you are just earning money to sit there.

Shopper's Critique

Shopper's CritiqueOne site I have had great success with is Shopper’s Critique. They mostly deal with apartments and some retail. I have seen some shops for online. I have been doing shops with them for over two months now and got paid. You get paid in about 3-4 weeks after you have completed the assignment to get paid. Now they do offer 2 ways to pay you. You have a choice between PayPal or a check sent to your mailing address. I have found that mystery shopping for this company to be fun and I did not have to send a dime. I just had to observe.

Still Trying

  1. Crowdtap- So far it is short surveys. Cash out at $10.

Crowdtap

I have started working on this website called Crowdtap. I’m not sure of it right now. I have been on for about twenty minutes and finally at level 2. I have earned two dollars so far but you can’t cash out until you have made ten. It seems you answer a few question and then they ask to watch a video if you qualify for it. SO far it seems that you are taking brief surveys. The surveys are about five questions long. I am still looking into it more and will be glad to let all of you know when I found out more. I added the link so anyone can join and deiced for themselves. Please comment if you find out any other information.

Mystery Shopping

I know what you starting thinking as soon as you read my tittle. Yes there are scams out there for mystery shoppers but there are also companies out there you can make money with. First don’t ever pay to become a mystery shopper. Next don’t accept anything that sounds too good to be true. You will not make 100 dollars an hour. Far as I have seen you don’t get paid by the hour; you get paid by the job. I have been doing mystery shopping since January. I will be telling you of sites that I have joined and have received payment from. I will also post sites that I believe to be scams.

My Points

I have been on a site since 2001 and totally enjoy it. I ran across it somehow and decided to join. Now I found out I could earn gift cards to various places by just clicking on my emails. This site www.mypoints.com gives you 5 points just for checking your email. If you buy a lot of stuff online than even better. You can earn x amount of points per x amount of dollars you spend. Add that with your MasterCard rewards and hey you just earn half your purchased back. The have gift cards to Wal-Mart, BestBuy target, and many more. You don’t like gift cards than you can get money sent to your PayPal account. I personal like to sell my gift cards but hey that’s me. Now it may take some time to earn the points if you are just checking your email but stick with it and you will have it in no time at all.

Make Money Online for free

This is to explain ways to make money for free or very little cost. I’m not looking at home business. Nor am I interested. I want to see if there is ways out there to make money without a real business. When I find a site I like I will post. I’m also going to try and let everyone know about the scams I find. Hopefully it will help others find ways to make a little extra money at home. I am not saying you are going to get rich or that it will be easy but maybe it will bring in the couple of extra dollars to help you pay that bill or be able to go out.
