Using Mystery Shopping Message Boards

Hi All,

Question:

I bought your Mystery Shopping 2-Volume Set but I think I haven't fully grasped the message board thing you talk about in your articles and books. Do I need to find message boards that are just for my state?

Answer From Coach Melanie:

In regard to your question, while you may very well find a state-specific mystery shopping message board on Delphi or in Yahoo's groups, it really isn't necessary. Usually the important thing is to check out the more active boards like the ones I suggested in the book, and as you monitor them, you'll tend to see which ones are more active for your area. You can quickly scan the postings for your state and then make contact as I recommend.

Ultimately, you'll have networked well enough over time, that you will be in the databases of all the top schedulers for your area, and know which companies that let you self-assign that you like to work with and have many assignments in your coverage area (the only ones worth applying to directly in my opinion--for more on this, please check out my book Secret Mystery Shopping Sites Revealed! when you are ready.

Then you'll have accomplished your goal of having mystery shopping assignments coming to you, rather than you having to go look for them--the smart way to maximize your mystery shopping income.

Have a great day and happy shopping!
