About The Perfect Work-At-Home Job: Mystery Shopping (Former NCPMS Winner--Book Of The Year):
"I bought both of your mystery shopping books 3 weeks ago and they've helped me get off to a great start. I booked 11 shops for $290 in shop fees and $162 in restaurant reimbursements for a total of $452!"--C. Wilson, Los Angeles, CA
"Thanks again for providing a great book for those who want to become mystery shoppers. Friday night I started following your tips and visiting the suggested websites. I was offered my first mystery shopping job on Monday morning! Since then, I have accepted two more and actually completed my first job!"--M.S., Louisville, KY
"The day I bought your book changed my life! I have followed your
advice, almost to the letter, and it has paid off in spades. In the last three weeks I have done over 35 mystery shops and I am currently scheduled to perform approximately fifteen more over the next week. Many of the shops I have completed included bonuses for upcoming deadlines or remote areas.
I gave my two week notice to my employer and now mystery shop full time. The pay has at least equaled in value what I was making as a restaurant manager, and can easily surpass that amount as I become more experienced with my digital recording shops. I can't tell you what a relief it is to not put on a uniform five days a week and have someone else dictate my schedule. Thanks for writing your books and sharing your secrets. I just bought your second book last week, and I am working on making my business grow even more profitable.-- "Patrick Blakeslee, Richmond, VA (Editor's Note: I am thrilled for Patrick and his success, but please keep in mind that he is the exception--most people should use mystery shopping and merchandising to supplement their incomes and not quit their "day job".)
"Your book is absolutely terrific! I followed your advice the next day and within one day had received an offer for a shop!"--Patty K., Nevada (Editor's Note: There are currently private investigator licensing requirements in the state of Nevada, please be sure to get properly licensed.)
"I think the resources you provide to mystery shoppers are incredibly valuable. I put your advice into practice and accepted my first apartment shop. I had a blast and have completed 8 more apartment shops and a fitness shop. I spent under $30 for both books and the apartments shops more than made up for it at $20-$30 apiece!"--H. Lewis, Vancouver, WA
"I just purchased both of your mystery shopping books and am pleased to say that I already got a transportation shop and two retail shops. Thank you for all of the advice on how to get started the right way. You stress the importance of being both professional and organized, and I cannot agree with you more.--Ann-Marie M., Atlanta, GA
