What is the best website for becoming a mystery shopper?

Question by futurpres01: What is the best website for becoming a mystery shopper?

Only to the people who are mystery shoppers. I'm looking for one that is free to register for and allows you to shop retail stores and restaurants.

All legitimate mystery shopping companies allow you to register free at their Web sites.

I recommend that you apply to many (at least 20, maybe more) companies to get started. This is not a full-time job where you work for one company. You will be a contractor and will get assignments from many different mystery shopping companies. However, some of the companies to which you apply may never offer you any assignments. It is almost impossible to know which will have the most mystery shopper jobs available in your area.

You can find companies by doing a Web search for "mystery shopping companies" and similar terms. Another source for finding legitimate companies is the Mystery Shopping Providers Assocation. None of their members charge a fee to mystery shoppers. (See link below.)

Mystery shopping can be fun, but remember that it is also important work. The businesses you shop depend on you to produce quality, timely reports. Do a good job (e.g., do assignments correctly, turn in well-written reports) and you will be in demand.

Happy shopping!
