While you probably won’t make a full-time income with mystery shopping jobs, it is a great way to get a few items you would buy anyway for free.

Combine mystery shopping with merchandising jobs and you can certainly bring in a good second income without spending too much time away from home.

Some of the jobs that fall into the “mystery shopping-merchandising” category are customer service reports on store visits, performing demo and promotions on products in stores and inventory or restocking product for store vendors.

Here are a few great resources for learning more about both Mystery Shopping and Merchandising. Remember, you should never pay someone for a MS or Merchandising job!
