Shadow Shopper...not the best opportunity!


I worked for this company many years ago. It used to be, you could become a gold member by the amount of high detailed and successful shops you did. You had to be active for atleast three months, or your account went dormant. You could pay to be come a gold member to get the hire paying jobs more quickly..but I didn't see the point in paying for the better paying assignments when I could obtain a gold membership from just doing the work.

I decided to look back into it and I found the usual introductory forms to fill out. There are also certificates you can gain to be able to open up more jobs. But, there was something new. If you applied for ten jobs in the first day, you could get 7 day gold membership..BUT you had to find jobs in your area that were over 7 days old and that didn't already have people scheduled. I found 8. I could pay

 $9.95 for 60 Days (regular $49.95)

but as I began looking more into it, most of the jobs I was asked to join other mystery shopping companies. Also, whenever I applied for a job, I had to do a stupid survey asking if I wanted to join or partake in a free promotion or sign up with a company and get a bunch of junk mail in my inbox. Which I have plenty of, thank you very much.

My personal recommendation is, yes...sign up..if only to find out about other companies that don't make you wait 7 days, but fill your inbox (if you choose to get daily or individual mail) with jobs just starting but you can't sign up for until 7 days or pay money. I will be posting more about these other companies as I research them out.

Nielsen has a lot of different venues for making money.

Image
Nielsen has been around for a fairly long time. I used to do a lot with their company when I worked in Marketing Research. Its hard to find what links to click for Nielsen, unless you really search...that has its pros and its cons.  Cons-You may find Nielsen under different names such as Harris Polls, NCP (National Consumer Panel) and Pinecone Research. unless you word your search just right. I have heard some rumors about Nielson Homescan panel for scanning products doesn't pay well, for the work you have to put in, I will edit this as soon as I find out for myself...which will be soon. Also, they aren't always open for sign ups...so if you can't sign up now..try...try again. Pros- Once you sign up, you don't have to do surveys, if you get an envelope from any of the companies above, chances are there is cash in there just from looking in the envelope. If you send a survey back, or choose to participate in the study offered..bam more cash..and most of them are...

Giving Stocks as gifts??? What???

Image
I was looking for the perfect gift for my 17 year old daughter. She is rather unique, never has a list of what she wants for gifts...always says.."Surprise me". I decided to google unique gifts for a teenager. The usual popped up, but nothing seemed right..until I spied  http://www.giveashare.com/ .  After looking through the links, stocks available...I showed it to my husband. He remembered when he was a teenager, his grandpa had told him to start looking into stocks and bonds, but at the time...he didn't really have an interest in it and internet access wasn't a constant, so he forgot.  We decided, this would be an excellent gift. She can learn about the stock market. It comes with a pamphlet that tells her EVERYTHING she needs to know (for $10 on top of buying the stock from GiveAShare.) Now, the best part is..they give you all this info, and then you can go to different webpages, after you give this gift, in they want to get into m...

SurveyJunkie...is the money worth the effort?

Image
I checked out Survey Junkie. Its a website where you earn points per survey. Every point is a cent. If you accumulate enough points to make $10, you can redeem those points and gain $10 in your paypal account or by a gift card. In the first day, within two hours, I accumulated 423 points. I haven't been able to be on it much after a couple days, BUT...if you do a survey, and you end up not qualifying, you still gain 2-3 points for filling out the initial questionnaire. Now, the whole process isn't hard, and if you do qualify..you can gain a lot of points quickly...50, 60, 70 points..so theoretically. if you qualify for 1-2 surveys a day, you can make $10 dollars every week or so. Some of the surveys are 5 minutes long, some are as long as 40 minutes. It tells you how long the survey is and how many points you get, before you started.  https://www.surveyjunkie.com   I think it is time worthy. You do sometimes get forwarded to other surveys if you don't qual...
