Hey Everyone! My name's India and I started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Here's my issue....where I live there just are not many jobs available at all. Right now I think there's a total of one. Do you guys have any suggestions as to where I can look for more jobs closer to my home than just through ISS?

Thanks for the advice! I think I will check the forum more often, just because I do live in a rural area, and most of the jobs are at one chain of gas stations. I do all of those, but you can only go to each location one time per month

So, somehow I became a local Google Maps guide so whenever I see a shop that has different hours than are stated or a store that has either closed or one that has opened and isn't yet listed on Maps, I report the changes to Google and they update the information. Unfortunately, I don't notice that happening, especially with hour changes (except during the holidays), so I usually do more picture taking & ratings.

THey there! So, I became a Google Local. Guide like 5 years ago just for letting them know one store had closed and another had opened. Every since then, it's been picture after picture, can I answer this question for a customer, reviews, and the more you do the more they will stalk you 24/7! It's as if we were getting actual $$$! Then the whole level/ reward system. was implimented and I don't know about you but I don't have the time or patience to join a Meetup with other local guides or take advantage orlf a reduced movie ticket..lol

I mostly deal with ISS and I love them! They actually have scheduled paydays, every 2nd Friday, so you know when you're going to get paid for the jobs you do for them. I wish they had more jobs around where I live. I only get jobs from 2 companies...ISS and Scheduler at 360 and you have NO idea at all when you're going to get paid back by them... somewhere around a month, and the jobs they have usually involves putting out a decent amount of $$$

I would also love to give Tayna from ISS a huge thank you for encouraging me to go ahead and get started trying to do some secret shopping adnd always answering my questions and noticing things she doesn't have to point out!

What areas, if you don't mind me asking, does Goodwin have jobs in?

Im having a really difficult time getting a decent amount of job opportunities because I live in a rural area, but I'm clo0se top Savannah, so I would think there might be more.

Any ideas on how to get different types of jobs besides gas stations and quick shops?

Hey there! I'm from Richmond Hill so I can definitely feel your pain in trying to find jobs, but this app doesn't have a lot of jobs in our area. There are some very legitimate companies that have apps (ISSOS, KSS, etc.) and they have high paying jobs in our area. What happens is that all of the companies, except I believe this one, have s job board that they post to every day, all day. I was offered 2 jobs, one for $85 and one to get my oil changed for KSS within a couple of days of days. Truly, look at your app store and see what other mystery shopping apps there are. All the apps I looked at we're 100% on the up and up, never asked for money or anything like that.

I will tell you though that going from this to those is overwhelming because they call with jobs, email with jobs, it can be pretty consistent and like this app, they are just the schedulers for the companies that hire them to find " mystery shoppers" It's also difficult because every company has different internet sites, and although this happens to have the least jobs, their app and webpage are super easy to navigate.

I hope you're having some luck. I know it can be really frustrating and discouraging, but if you really want the jobs they are out there for you

Definitely....always upload your photos through the job report on the app. That way, you know they are receiving them and you are sending the correct format of photos and only sending the photos when & where in the job report you are supposed to be. You can still take the photos before you fill out the report, just upload them to the report on the app when asked.

At what level can you assign yourself more than 2 jobs, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi there! Welcome to ISS! This was my first time being a mystery shopper and I have found ISS to be, overall, a great app and experience. The only trouble I have had is that I live in a rural area, so I don't have a lot of shops available in my area. I really hope you enjoy it!

Btw, how do you get certified as a mystery shopper?

Hi all! I just have a quick question. I was told by an MSP scheduler that a certain company that I do shops for all the time "had to watch a video of one of my shops". The email they sent me to tell me this honestly wasn't really nice and made it seem like somehow this was my fault. I have no idea what I could have done wrong,as all I've ever done is fill out the reports honestly and do what I was supposed to do. Does anyone know what could prompt them "having to watch a video of one of my shops?"
