Don't Rule Out Non-Shopper Paid Jobs...
1. Merchandising: A merchandiser is a person to goes to a retail store and changes their displays in a way that makes it more appealing to a shopper to buy. You may set up promotional displays or come up with ways to organize other promotional material. You will more than likely be working directly with the store manager. This is a great way to create a dual income by combining this with being a paid mystery shopper.
2. Become a Scheduler: A scheduler is a person who works for a secret shopping company and assigns jobs to shoppers. The plus side is you can hand pick the highest paying jobs and keep them for yourself, if you so choose. Or you could work entirely from home without ever having to leave. The down side is...you have to seek out shoppers for assignments. You will have to deal with those people who “flake out” and fail to complete their job. For the right person this could be a substantial income opportunity. But you must have a proven track record with as a quality mystery shopper before you should even consider looking into this opportunity. The better you know and understand how the entire system works the more qualified you will be.
3. Affiliate Marketing: This is not related to becoming a mystery shopper, but it can add another increase to your family's monthly income. Here's how it works, you sign up with an online company who offers an affiliate program. A good place to start it a Commission Junction www.cj.com. They offer many programs for you to join, just pick and choose those you would enjoy working with. Now when you make a sale for that company you get a percentage of the sales. For example, I worked with a company that paid me $27 per sale. I was able to make up to $1000 in one month selling this one product. I only worked with this company for 12 months due to other interests, but in that time I was able to take my family on a 10 day trip to Yellowstone National Park.
These ideas are highly attractive due to the fact that give you even more personal freedom. Know you can pick and choose the hours you want as a shopper paid worker, rather than have a boss breathing down your neck.
