We've made this useful book even more useful! Mystery shopping is a young industry and changes are happening rapidly.

This review is from: Get Paid to Shop : Opportunities in Mystery Shopping (Spiral-bound)

Get Paid to Shop-Opportunities in Mystery Shopping serves three audiences: those who want to become mystery shoppers, veteran mystery shoppers, and those who are interested in starting a mystery shopping business of their own. This book has balance. It is compact and concise, yet complete and clear. This book is informative. For new mystery shoppers, it explains mystery shopping, how to find work, and how much money you should expect to make. For veteran mystery shoppers, it explains how to become a better shopper, how to make more money, and how to get more jobs. For example, the extensive list of mystery shopping companies is thoughtfully arranged by state to help you find more work. Get Paid to Shop also includes a list of Internet resources and Canadian mystery shopping companies. For those who are considering starting a mystery shopping business, this book explains what is involved, details the benefits and responsibilities, and helps you decide if owning a mystery shopping business is right for you. Get Paid to Shop is full of well-organized information that is clearly presented. I recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money...overpriced book, November 25, 2001

This review is from: Get Paid to Shop : Opportunities in Mystery Shopping (Spiral-bound)

Sure it's 122 pages..if you count the dozens of blank pages, title pages, pages they left blank for you to make notes, and of course the author bio page. gimme a break

I did some research on this topic using the internet, probably spending an hour. This book taught me no more than what I learned in that one hour of web surfing.

This review is from: Get Paid to Shop : Opportunities in the Mystery Shopping Business (Spiral-bound)

As the operator of a mystery shopping company, I find this book gives shoppers a good idea of what is expected of them and the type of qualities mystery shopping companies look for in shoppers. It also provides a good overview of the mystery shopping industry whether you are interested in being a shopper or operating a mystery shopping company.
