Do you like to shop? If so, why not get paid to do what you love anyway.

You could get paid as a mystery shopper.

This is different than the product testing that we discussed earlier, because mystery shopping is much more about testing a company than a product.

People are willing to pay you for mystery shopping because it allows them a form of insight that they can’t get from their normal employees. A mystery shopper is someone who poses as a normal customer, but instead of leaving the business and keeping their impressions to themselves, they’re reporting back to corporate.
