Would you spend an extra 20 minutes at the store if you could get paid to do it?
That's about the amount of time one secret shopper spends in order to complete a “gig” that he gets paid real money for.
“Secret shops” can be done easily through free phone apps like Gigwalk. It's reported that big brands, like Frito Lay, hires these apps to check out their competition or to spy on their own products.
According to Gigwalk, they have postings available for “walkers” across all 50 states who make an average of $10-$15 an hour.
You've probably heard about secret shoppers or mystery shoppers but have been hesitant to check it out. And with good reason, as scams can sound legit. You want to be sure you're working with a reputable site, so a measure of caution does need to be taken. But there definitely is money to be made.
