If you like to buy clothes, play golf, watch movies, eat out, rent videos or try new goods or services, then you can become a mystery shopper. Mystery shopping is a way to earn extra money and have fun at the same time. Shoppers receive assignments from companies that do business evaluations. An assignment might be to evaluate a restaurant, retail store, bank, gas station, theater, or any other type of business imaginable. This class will present an overview of how mystery shopping works, what types of assessment forms are used, how to get into the shoppers network, and how to avoid scams.
