Cash for Surveys Publishes List of Legitimate Mystery Shopping Companies

July 25, 2012 - PRLog -- The mystery shopping list has been created in order to help visitors learn how to make money from another type of market research and also how to avoid the scams.

It’s not hard to understand why people want to become a mystery shopper, after all they get to do what they love and get paid for it. Some of the tasks that are set by research companies could be buying a product in a shop, eating out in a restaurant, watching a movie in a cinema, staying in a luxury hotel for the night or even taking a flight. The only catch is that the findings from each task need to be reported back to the research company once the assignment has been completed.

There are many mystery shopping companies online some are honest and offer on time fast payments, full training material, good communication and customer support, whilst others are outright dishonest and offer none of the above. The list that is published on the Cash for Surveys site aims to educate people on which are the legitimate mystery shopping sites they should be registering with in order to pick up any secret shopper jobs.

Apart from helping people to avoid scams the list has also been published as many mystery shopping jobs can be fairly hard to find even though their websites are online. Most sites do not advertise that they are searching for new recruits on their homepage, their thinking behind this is if someone can’t be bothered to go past the first page of their site why would they want them to work for them. Some companies also refer to their shoppers as virtual customers, spotters, analyst, accessors or even evaluators, they do this to stop just anyone finding them with standard keywords so they don’t end up with thousands of applications every day.

The owner of Cash for Surveys, Stephen Roper said “Mystery Shopping can be a great job to do in your spare time in order to earn a little extra money. However one of the problems that many face is the inability to find legitimate mystery shopper companies that will actually pay them for their time. The list we have produced should help people to quickly and easily apply to some of the best secret shopper companies, whilst being safe in the knowledge that after completing an assignment they will actually be paid.

Cash for Surveys launched in 2006 and has since become a valuable resource for people that are looking to earn extra money online from all types of market research.
