How-To Maximize Mystery Shopper Income—For Experienced Shoppers

A couple of days ago, I gave out the URLs for some of my articles on getting started in mystery shopping. Today, I have some help for those of you who have some mystery shopping experience.

As an experienced mystery shopper, you may have had some success, but are just not earning the kind of high income that other mystery shoppers earn. The number one comment I hear from experienced shoppers as an author, e-zine publisher and personal coach devoted to the mystery shopping field is this:

"I do some mystery shopping, but I just don't seem to be able to make the good money that I hear other mystery shoppers earn!"

Based on my work with other shoppers, you probably fall into one of the following groups:

1. You've got "paid to shop, eat for free" syndrome.

Too many mystery shoppers focus on this side of mystery shopping. It may be fun, but you pay a high price in terms of earning money to be a mall rat or a fast food junkie. Besides, there are many other shops out there that are fun too and pay a lot better.

2. You're an experienced shopper who has hit a plateau--much like when you work out or try to lose weight.

You've had some success, but you have not reached your goals. Assuming your goals are realistic for the amount of time and effort you are willing to put in; you are open to doing other kinds of shops; and there is good market demand in your area (or one that is reasonably close by), you just need some help. This usually involves creating an efficient system for yourself and taking the time to do some very simple things that will help you stand out from the crowd. Then you can break through and reach your maximum earnings potential!

There's a big difference between having years of shopper experience and actually making money at it!
