Hey,
Janet here. If you're not
one of my regular subscribers,
let me quickly tell you a little
about myself. Then I'll
show you what sites you can use to start doing mystery shopping, focus groups and paid surveys without worry and you will actually make some money.
Ok... I've been working at home and
making a living since
2004. I have been making a great income being part of focus groups and participating in paid surveys as well. This has made it possible for me to spend more time with my family and avoid the corporate world rut my neighbors live day after day. I watch them drive towards the daily traffic jam and smile.
Since I began my own business all those years ago, I've been
through literally every emotion imaginable.
Frustration... anger...
jubilation. The 'frustration' only lasted for
six months while I was
desperately trying to discover
how the whole mystery shopping and paid survey business worked.
Eventually,
I made it happen. Ever
since then I haven't looked
back. In the next few
moments my goal is to teach
you how to do the same!
So What's Working At Home?...
Working at
home means you may have many
different roles. From mystery
shopping, data entry, paid
surveys to processing rebates or
simply typing at home and
everything in between. Other
work at home programs can be
very tedious and overwhelming at
times. I have tried just about
every single work at home
program and at times just wanted
to give up on all of them. I
would work hard yet only wind up
making a small amount of money.
Once in a while they would send
me a coupon or some other "gift"
that simply wasn't worth my
effort.
The types of
work at home programs that have
been successful for me are:
A Mystery Shopper or Secret Shopper goes to stores and restaurants and reviews products and services. The goal is to either give quality control feedback to the company or judge a competitor's products or services. Excellent examples of this are things like product quality, cleanliness, and the overall attitude of their staff.
Focus Groups are a relatively small number of people brought together. They are then asked about their attitude towards a product, service, or concept. These can range from sampling a new type of fast food to gauging the public's opinion about the latest film prior to its opening. Focus groups are the little known secret of this business.
Paid Surveys are exactly what they sound like, you are asked to give your honest opinion about a product or service. Most of them are available online or via telephone. They are actually quite easy to complete and are a lot more fun to finish than someone new to this might think.
Data
Entry really is much
like doing a survey. Only
most of the work is laid out for
you and you just have to enter
it all online. People who
have typing skills will do
better, but there is no time
limit so the more you can do the
more you can make. By
using real people at home to do
this work, companies can save
money and focus on marketing
their products or services.
Doesn't that sound like a great way to make some extra income?
Here's The Problem...
Well unfortunately, there are hundreds of websites claiming to help you become a mystery shopper
or do surveys and other work at
home scams. These sites will send you worthless information. Then you find yourself performing an assignment that pays almost nothing yet requires a tremendous amount of your time. In my opinion these websites come very close to being fraudulent.
Other so called FREE mystery shopping
and paid survey services are actually just scams designed to obtain your email address and personal information. Then they send you a fake check in the mail and urge you to deposit it. Next they will give you a few assignments that are designed to throw you off track. One of them not surprisingly is for you to send a money gram to allegedly "test" their service. The truth is, the check you deposited will bounce soon afterwards! The money gram you sent with your “funds” is pure profit for the people who created this scheme.
What Happened...
Real Mystery Shoppers
and Survey Workers never have
to test a money gram service.
This is an immediate RED FLAG. These sites are a stain on this industry and the reason for educational and watchdog sites like ours. We have researched hundreds of websites, contacted the owners and interviewed their staff. We then followed up with their customers to find the legitimate work at home sites for our readers.
Please sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of this page. It will help you stay current with the latest news and opportunities in our industry.
This month we discovered two sites that can really help someone get started working at home. You will work with big name companies and get paid on a regular basis. How much money you make depends on your time and effort.
Here's an overview of both...
and make sure you read my
conclusion at the end...
