Welcome! The biggest pointer I can give is to be thorough with your shops. Make sure you know what is required before starting the shop and provide as much valuable insight as you can in your reports. Also - have fun and post any questions you have.

Hello!

I am new here as well. I am hoping that the tips provided here will help us newbies to succeed at being a mystery shopper..

Welcome!

I'm a returning Mystery Shopper but have been out of the field for over 10 years. I'm interested in learning about how best to schedule shops and how to maximize my time.

Hello I am new to this!!! I literally just signed in for the first time and have no clue what to do or where to start, please help!

Welcome!

Best place to start is sign the various provider contracts and go through the forum so you sort of know who you're working for. After that, go for something you think would be easy at first... the ones that have you buy stuff normally don't pay nearly as well as pictures and a recap of events. If you have questions or issues just make sure you reach out to your scheduler and once you get comfortable and busy make sure you update your calendar and regularly check your Email. -The shop is the easy part, the report takes time.
