Real Reviews by Real People of Mystery Shopping Sites

Hi, my name is Scott Welch and I'm one of the founders of Top Site Reviews a website that reviews various online opportunities to try to make sure that people don't fall for the fraudulent or scam sites (I myself have been a victim in the past; this is why I got started doing this). I also created a blog called Paid Survey Site Reviews which is a companion and sister site to this blog. That blog is dedicated to reviewing Paid Survey websites so that ordinary people like you and me can give feedback on which paid survey sites actually made them money and which were scams and a waste of time. In similar fashion, this blog is dedicated to reviewing the Mystery Shopping industry to tell which sites/companies are worth joining and which are just garbage. For those who don't know, 'Mystery Shopping' is a multi-million dollar industry employed by almost every major business in the nation. Mystery shoppers are paid to shop at stores, eat at restaurants, watch movies, and then report back to the company that employed them how they were treated while they were shopping (or dining, or whatever the specific mystery shopping job entailed). In this way businesses can monitor and enhance their customer service. Mystery Shopping is a real business and I myself have done it on many occasions (I prefer the jobs that entail going to the movie theater as I'm not as much of a 'mall' person and I love movies, but that's neither here nor there). Companies and businesses are constantly seeking to recruit new mystery shoppers and the jobs themselves usually take less than an hour to do (sometimes a lot less). Plus on occasion the mystery shopper gets to keep what he was being paid to shop for free. The problem is that (like so many other things on the internet) it's hard for someone who's interested in becoming a mystery shopper to know which websites and online services really have REAL mystery shopping opportunities and which are just out to rip people off. So I've put together this blog to relate my own experiences and to invite others to share their own reviews of which mystery shopping sites are for real and which ones are not.

$10 Challenge - I'll Pay You $10 Myself

Alright, this doesn't have much to do with mystery shopping, but it's something I'm excited about and want to share with as many people as possible.

As many of you know, I got my start making money online from paid surveys, and really I still devote a good portion of my day to taking surveys (I generally only do the ones sent to me by email and skip phone surveys nowadays; only got so much time in the day). So I'm very into the paid survey market, which is why I started the Paid Survey Reviews Blog which in turn inspired me to start this companion blog for mystery shopping sites.

Anyway, in an effort to get more people into the paid survey market, me and my friends from Top Site Reviews Webpage have put together a special promotion, where we'll pay anyone who completes our challenge $10.00 (we pay using Paypal, so you'd better have a valid email address if you're going to do this). You can find out more details of how this thing works at:

The $10 Paid Survey Challenge Page

Basically how it works is we've assembled a list of several legitimate paid survey companies, and anyone who signs up to 20 of them we'll pay $10.00 within 24 hours of completing the challenge. All the companies we have on our list are legit (even if some of them are a little small) and 100% free to join (usually takes people less than 20 minutes to do), and the really great thing is that once you've registered with these companies you'll start recieving paid surveys too.

So go check it out and find out of the paid survey market is right for you too!
