Secret Shopper Tips

I wanted to break down my original Work at Home list, into manageable tips.

I've done secret shopping here and there, and I still get a lot of job offers in my inbox every day.

You do have to be very organized, but you can get free meals, free car work, and not to mention a paycheck by doing secret shopping.

There is also a new app called EasyShift, and it is really fun to use. With EasyShift, you can select what  job you have time for, and then do it right away. Some of the shifts involve taking a picture with your smart phone and some are just surveys you can fill out in the comfort of your own home.

But let's go back to secret shopping. It's best to have a Shoppers Binder full of ( not women!) all the different print outs and faqs for each company. It can get confusing keeping all of your "shopper stories" straight. But you won't be bringing this binder to work with you, it's just for reference in your home office.

That way, when you come back from your secret shop, you can get right down to work, filling out all of those forms you need for each job.  Once you get in the hang of this, it will become easy.

Also, you need to think of your shopper identity. You may want to have a different version for each company you shop for. Each shop you go on will require you to act, and pretend to be interested in something that you may or may not be. I wouldn't recommend getting a wig or anything like that. It's not THAT kind of acting job.

Here is the Secret Shopper list again, for you to print out and get started secret shopping!
