Hi - I am Judyp and this is my first venture into this field. I am a 68 year old retired female. No experience at this to date. Will read as much as possible tonight to learn all I can. Hoping to make a few hundred a month - is this realistic? Wish me luck and hope all of you luck as well. Oh, I live in South Carolina.

Welcome to the forum, Judy. It's a very realistic figure.

Register with a whole bunch of companies (see the list of official companies below this post) and you can easily make a few hundred a month.

Judy,
I started with a goal of making $400 per month on a very part time basis. By signing up with many Mystery Shopping Companies (MSCs) I was making much more than that within 4-6 months. In order to have a nice selection of shops, be sure to sign up with at least 100 MSCs (from the list below) in the first few months. It will help to write a sample narrative from a personal shopping ex[erience and save that to submit to the MSCs that require a sample narrative.

Welcome! You're among friend here.

Judy, I too am 68 and retired. I just got into this a few months ago and am making more than a few hundred. It does keep me busy, but that is the fun of it! I want to learn more.....

Thanks. Glad to know age is not a factor. I too want to learn more.

I am completely new, have never shopped but would like to. Can you please tell me whether I should pay to join shops, I read somewhere that I should not have to pay for joining. Also, how many companies should I join to start shopping?
I read that some jobs want you to take pictures while undercover, how do you do that?

Thank you for your answers, it is very much appreciated.
