Hello Parker,

Of course there are not many shops now with the covid, but more should come in a few months. I look at the income as extra pocket money as I do it aside from my main income. There are many companies that you could register with and I suppose could work full time and make a modest income.

Parker -

There is actually a fair amount of potential in this business. How organized and ambitious are you?

* Most folks just do this on the side for a little extra pending money or a few perks - like nice meals out.

* Some folks (me) do this for legitimate income to augment full time jobs.

* A very few folks do this for a living - they don't get wealthy, but they plug along okay.


Me:

I teach full time and shop on the side. In 2018 and 2019, I earned over $20K mystery shopping - plus reimbursements. I could have made more, but do like to do more than work. I only shopped in January and February last year, quitting when Covid hit, aside from a few online shops. I still earned better than $5K. In order to do this, I have been known to fly out-of-state for a week. I am signed up with over 200 MSC's - iSS only represents a small fraction of the total opportunity out there. I do a lot of video shopping, where reports tend to be shorter and payment higher. I know what compensation I'm willing to accept and don't work for less. I build routes of shops for full days - and, sometimes multiple days - to maximize efficiency.


It took me about two years to build up to this level as it takes time to establish yourself with a lot of MSC"s as a quality, reliable shopper, develop contacts, etc.
