Hello, completed my first shop yesterday

I have started signing up for MSCs last month. I am officially registered with only 2 MSCs as of today. Yesterday i've completed
my first bank shop through Market Force. Their fee was $35.

My goal is to complete 1 shop a week this month (March). Then increase to 2 a week in April and so on each month. As I register with more MSCs. And gain more experience.

My goal this year is to increase my income by $100 each month, starting this month (March 2016). I plan to achieve this goal, by finding multiple sources of income.

And I live in the province of Ontario, Canada.

Thank you, and I plan to become active on this forum from now on. Ill keep you posted.

Welcome and congratulations!

I started a bit more than 10 years ago with a bank shop and the goal of eventually adding $400 a month to my income. I was able to do that within six months, and after that things just grew and grew.

Based in MD, near DC
Shopping from the Carolinas to New York
Have video cam; will travel

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Congratulations on getting started and in setting goals. Don't be too rigidly hard on yourself because some parts of the month it will be easier to find work than other parts. Do register with more companies as you go along. And welcome to the forum!

Where in Ontario do you live? That bank shop is a very good start. As Flash said, register with more companies. Many US based MSCs have a lot of Canadian shops. Some are still paying in US$, but not MFI. Good luck!

Yes, it is.. Thank you. MFI called me. I did not even apply for this job. I thought it was an incredible pay.
There seems to be a shortage of shoppers in my area.
I live in Northern Ontario. Near Sudbury.

Now, back to applying for more MSC companies.

Cheers. I'm happy. I see Mystery Shopping as an adventure

The town where I live, population is around 10 000.
There are two major centres 2 hours away West and East of here.

I plan to drive and schedule jobs there.

Incredible!

Im not sure where this road will lead.
Like I've said, this is one avenue, with which I'd like to diversify my income.

Thanks for your support.

Northern Ontario? I don't think there are many shoppers there because I have been approached by email a number of times. And I think the pay scale is higher than in Toronto. And of course, watch for the US$ based shops. They are a pleasant surprise when payment comes. Once more, good luck!

Good job. Sounds like a good start...

I would add to your list of goals: signing up for X new mystery shopping companies per week. Find out which ones have had jobs in your area in the past by searching job boards like Jobslinger. The more you sign up for, the more you will be able to try out different jobs and see what is best for you.

X=however many makes sense to you and your schedule
