Comfy mode of Mystery Shopping

The most excellent way to make more money as a mystery shopper is to set up an efficient work process for you so you can pick up assignments more rapidly and complete them easily. So here are my tips to receiving things done. A couple of them you'll require to do before you even get in progress signing up for mystery shopping companies.

1. Set up a New Email Address

Since you'll need to sign up with as many companies as possible in order to maximize your income opportunities to get mystery shopping assignments, the first thing you should do is set up a new email account and only use that account for work. Since I do retail trade in and some online 'get paid to" stuff as well, I use one gmail account for all three and then set up labels for the different types of job I do. I have labels for "mystery shopping", "merchandising" and "paid surveys" (I just lump all the "get paid to" stuff below that). I also have labels for "pending" and "finished". This way when I make sure my email each day, I can rapidly check what I need to do next without hunting through the dozens of emails. If you set up the account to routinely route mail from certain email addresses to a particular label, all of your new mail will be pre-labeled as it arrives.

2. Get some Form Filler software

You will be signing up with a lot of companies. Some mystery shoppers sign up with over 100. It is very tiresome and time consuming to do all of this by hand, so get yourself some form completion software and utilize it. I for myself use Roboform because it doesn't have any spyware or adware installed with it, but there are lots of different forms completer's available.

3. Organize your bookmarks

Some of the mystery shopping companies always send out emails with recently available assignments, but a lot of them don't so you'll need to log into their websites every day in order to acquire your jobs. Most mystery shopping jobs are first come first serve so if you would like that assignment, you need to work professionally. There's a couple of ways of doing this. If you use a tabbed browser, set up your bookmarks so that you can open about 10 websites at a time with one click. Another choice is to use a start page such as Pageflakes, Netvibes or iGoogle and add all of your mystery shopping companies to your start page bookmarks. But one of the best ideas is to set up a worksheet with clickable links -- that way not only do you have quick & easy way in to all your companies, but you have all of your in order about them to hand (i.e. your scheduler, pending assignments, completed assignments, pending payments, etc.)
