Telework Recruiting
Believe it or not - a legitimate work at home membership site!
Get paid to shop! Sounds fun and some people really do enjoy this. Pay is generally not high, and you must keep careful track of your receipts for proper reimbursement. You will generally need to submit an invoice. In general you must not let the businesses you shop know that you are a mystery shopper, hence the name.
A Closer Look
Reimbursement only, does not pay you beyond what you spend on the assignment. Essentially you get to try the service free in exchange for your review, but you have to wait to get your money reimbursed to you. Checks are sent out on the 3rd Friday of the month AFTER the month of your
visit.
Consumer Critique
Will get more regular assignments as you prove yourself to be a good mystery shopper.
Retail shops generally do include both reimbursement and report fee; restaurant shops are for reimbursement only.

Secret Shopper
Gives good information on what is expected of a mystery shopper. Payment is on the 20th of the month following the completed shop. Secret Shopper also tells me that they often have family friendly shops available, such as haircuts, pizza dinners, reimbursed dog or cat vet exams and retail
store shops. Most assignments the shopper can bring kids along, and for some of
our haircut shops, you can get your kids' hair cut for the shop. Says they pay $15-$30 per shop on average.

Who's recruiting who?
One of the fun things about working at home is the reaction of all the people who wish they could work at home but didn't realize it was practical. I turned things around for one recruiter who called me about a job.

If you purchase anything reviewed or recommended on this site,
I probably earn a commission. Not always, but often enough you
may as well assume I do.
When looking at home business opportunities, keep in mind that
most businesses fail. That's as true online as it is anywhere else.
But if you don't try you won't succeed.
