Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and am looking forward to all the help that it could give me plus getting to know you via the online community.

My name is Joanie but my screen name is jmierz so you will see my posts under that. I started mystery shopping about 5 months ago and I just love it. I cannot work since I am disabled but this is great for me because I can make my own schedule and the jobs do not take long at all.

My first shop was for a cell phone store and I must say that I have really improved so much since my first shop. I guess my nerves were full steam ahead that first shop because when I think of it now, I see all the errors that I made and things that I overlooked, but I guess you have to start some place.

I have signed up with about 15 different companies but a lot of them do not have many jobs listed or none in my area. I am going to be signing up with more to keep me a bit more busier than I am now. I would like to have at least one job a day if possible so I guess that would be my goal for now. I would also like to go to some conventions or meetings on Secret Shopping. I am registered with MSPA and certified which does help with getting jobs from some companies.

I live in the Metro Atlanta area (GA) and have lived here for 30 years but I grew up in New Jersey. Besides doing the Mystery Shopping I am an animal lover that rescues and also does a volunteering with a very good organization in which I am active on the state, area and group level.

I am looking forward to getting to know you,

Welcome Joanie!

It seems like you have a great understanding of how to get more shops. Keep it up and keep us posted.
