Mystery Shopping

Mystery shopping??? In the past I had heard that some people actually shop for a living. I was a bit skeptical to say the least, but... after some investigation I have found this opportunity to be not only totally legitimate but a very cool way to make money from home either part or full time.

The companies (and I have signed up for many, it's the only way to get a variety of jobs) will send you an e-mail inviting you to complete a certain shop. You log in to their website, read the instructions for that assignment, qualify by taking a certain test and voila!, your on your way to your first fun assignment. Once home you log on to their website again and submit a questionnaire. Fast forward about 20 days and you'll have your shoppers fee deposited into your bank account or your paypal account. In addition you've enjoyed a free meal, free movie or free product.

Wonderful opportunity to make extra cash and have fun shopping and eating out in restaurants for free!!!

Be Patient and Stick With It

I realized today as I was doing some research on the net on how the placement of your website within a search engine greatly effects your traffic ( or people who visit your site) and I realized something. This is going to be very hard work. It is, no doubt but I also realized I have learned and accomplished quite a bit in a short tome. Six months ago I had no clue where to start. Armed with just an advertisement from my local newspaper on earning money from home and the determination that I was going to improve the quality of life for my family I set out on my journey. Many searches and many hours later I now have the knowledge and the confidence that I can do anything I set my mind to. Many times I felt like giving up when all I could seem to come up with was scams and various shady websites that just wanted to grab my money and run. But, I stuck with and I'm glad I did because the tools I gained back then are helping me now.

This week alone I made enough money to pay a few bills or take my family out to a restaurant. It doesn't seem like much but now I know that persistence does pay off. When I started taking surveys online my husband and my kids would come home and ask jokingly " How much did you make today Mom, $2.00". Funny, you may say but now I have the satisfaction of knowing that my hard work did pay off and now I am on my way to making a serious financial contribution to my family's welfare.

So my message contained in all this rambling is to stick with it. Whether you are doing online surveys, mystery shopping, signing up for paid per click sites or venturing into a whole new homebased business is never give up. The sky's the limit.
