Mystery Shopper Network

As mystery and secret shopping becomes more popular, shoppers are starting mystery shopper networks.  Area or neighborhood mystery shopper networks offer face to face support and provide a place to exchange information and ask questions.  A mystery or secret shopper network can even help shoppers remain aware and stay away from mystery shopper scams.

As you do more and more shopping, you will find good mystery shopping jobs that you simply can’t do due to scheduling conflicts.  Why not share those jobs with someone else who wants to get paid to shop.  If you are in a network, you will have contacts that you know are interested in these jobs.

Mystery shopper networks also provide a group to help with research insuring that you all know about the most profitable jobs helping everyone in the network have the most profitable secret shopper business possible.

There are online support groups and forums for mystery shoppers and information about how to form your own neighborhood mystery shopping network.  While mystery and shadow shoppers interact with the public regularly, they may feel isolated without a network to discuss issues of the job.  Because of its very nature, mystery and shadow shoppers are not likely to meet one another in a regular networking or public environment. It is important for mystery shoppers to interact in order to share information about scams and non-paying companies as well as sharing job leads and tips on how to shop smart.  By “shop smart”, I mean find easier and quicker shops and learn time saving tips to help you earn more money in less time.

Any secret shopper can start their own network of shoppers in their area. If you know of shops you are not able to perform, reach out to others you know who might be interested. If you are shopping restaurants, stores and dealerships in your neighborhood, it is likely your neighbors shop the same places. Reach out to share information and ask if anyone would like to get started with mystery shopping opportunities and form a neighborhood or area network.
