I have been asking same question myself. I really want to be more involved , not just conducting a few shops here and there.
MF Johnson,
I just hope I receive one of such emails soon. In the meantime, I just got approved on Upwork. Thanks to you Ivan, because I only knew about that freelance page two days ago from reading your post to Samantha on this thread. Perfect timing!
How come all the shops phone shops are always already assigned for every day? If they are no longer available, they should not show up as available phone and webshops. It just gives false hopes in my opinion.

I am wondering if anyone has a spreadsheet templet that is used to keep track of things like shops, mileage, reimbursment, etc.?
Tina,
I am interested in such a template as well. I am registered with over 24 mystery shopping companies. Has any responded to you privately?
Is there a way to include what we do as mystery shoppers in professional resumes without having to disclose that we conduct mystery shopping assignmcents?
Secondly, since we are now all agreeing to be independent Agent, does that appear as self employment in our resumes?
Thanks for explaining what you have on each column. I would also suggest including contact person and info for each assignment just in case.
Thanks for sharing this information regarding MileIQ. I definitely will look into it.

To track your mileage, look up an app called MileIQ in the app store for tax purposes for the 1099 write off expense part of things. As far as getting audited, I invest with Fidelity and have had my own business for several years and haven't ever even come close mainly because I don't write everything off probably. The 1099 should show you your earnings by EOY then it's the the tax liability which honestly doesn't do much for an actual tax break in my past experiences.
