Make Money Mystery Shopping Tip of the Day

IntelliShop, based out of Ohio. Uses SASSIE login & job board application. You need a paypal account to be paid. Variety of mystery shops. I was just offered a quick one for a major fast food chain. Not close enough for me to make it worthwhile gas-wise, but a good opportunity for someone in the area. Also offered luxury car shops You do have to prove yourself to get some of the shops. You are rated based on performance. In otherwords, you do a good job on the easier ones, you have a better shot at the more involved ones.

The company was featured on Good Morning America

This company is legit. Remeber, mystery shopping may or may not have shops in your local area depending upon the client & the size of your town. Never pay to do a mysterday. I mean, don't pay for a list or to get started. A legitimate company may ask you to make a purchase at the store you are shopping for which you are reimbursed (or allowed to return). Always keep receipts, business cards and copies of your report so you can keep track of payments due to you.

Make Money with Paid Surveys

Another LEGITIMATE survey company that DOES PAY. The Socratic Forum. The word Socratic will ring a bell with anyone who's gone to law school or been a fan of the movie Paper Chase. The Socratic method of teaching - "The Socratic method of reasoning and instruction was by a series of questions leading the one to whom they were addressed to perceive and admit what was true or false in doctrine, or right or wrong in conduct."

Many of their surveys are "techy" subjects but I received one recently about vacations. Surveys range from 5 -30 minutes. 5 minutes are usually for qualifying. Their emails give you an approximate length of the survey & how much you will be paid. If you don't qualify, there is usually a drawing you are entered into. You can request payment after you have earned $5 in rewards. A confirming email is sent when you request your check. They pay in about a month of your request.

Remember, don't ever pay to find paying surveys. Always keep track of your surveys & requests for payments.
