Can You Be A Mystery Shopper While RVing? (Ask The Coach)

Question:

My husband and I travel all over the US in our RV. We work for a publishing company that produces directories for many businesses (resorts, parks, real estate agencies, etc.) so we go wherever "duty calls".

I think we would be perfect for apartment, travel and RV shops! We usually go up to New England in the summer, then travel south and west in the winter, so we can shop in any places we happen to be. Would a lifestyle like ours be an asset? Thanks!

Answer From Coach Melanie:

Absolutely! Your only challenge will be building up a regular group of schedulers who know your ability to service multiple areas and when. This is easily handled with the “essential e-mail correspondence templates" that I teach my readers to do in my book "The Perfect Work-At-Home Job: Mystery Shopping" which help you offer your services in a professional manner and stand out from the crowd.

You also would find it helpful to use companies that allow you to self-schedule (meaning you can go to the site, and once registered, sign yourself up for assignments in all the areas you cover). These are the kinds of mystery shopping sites to give priority to after giving your initial focus to making connections with schedulers of assignments. I go over examples of such sites in my companion book to “The Perfect Work-At-Home Job: Mystery Shopping” and “How-To Finally Make Money As A Mystery Shopper” called “Secret Mystery Shopping Sites Revealed!”

By the way, any lifestyle (it doesn't necessarily have to be via RV) that takes you to different places could work just as well. And if you don't travel around, of course, your "home base" is always fine in its own right.

Have a great day and happy shopping!
