How Can I become a Mystery Shopper?

• I live in Wisconsin and I was just wondering how I can become a mystery shopper? Im 19 and looking for a flexible job. I've been online to research this topic and had a hard time figuring out which websites are legit and which ones are scams. Help?

• Answer:

  Dont look for websites, look in your yellow pages under Market Research companies. Any scammer can set up a website in an hour, real businesses have phone listings Here are 3 Wisconsin companies part of the MSPA which most legit agencies are members of http://www.mysteryshop.org/searchmspa/member_list.php you can call to see if they are accepting new shoppers Mystery shopping is not flexible and isn't really a job, it's a hobby. When you only get called a few times a year and only get paid $10-20 a shop it's hardly a job. And its not flexible, they give you the day and time you have to go to the shop as they are often checking on specific staffers or managers. So if they say you have to go on Tuesday morning before noon, thats when you have to go. If you cant go they send somebody else. You cant fake it because the receipt for what you bought has the date and time on it and you dont get reimbursed if it's not done at the right time
