A few years ago mystery shopping was a tough gig to break in to, lots of freebies, spare money and that James Bond feeling you get while going under cover. Today lots of companies are outsourcing their mystery shopping to smart phone apps, so now you can be a secret agent too! These apps require you to complete various tasks, usually in relation to retailers in your area. This includes, taking pictures of the premises, of stock, talking to staff and much more. Some also provide Surveys to do at home. The minimum age for these apps is 18, and you’ll need to have a smartphone with a camera. The pay for these mystery shopping gigs is usually quite good – between £2 and £5 each time for basic jobs and I’ve even seen ones as high as £20. Some jobs, may require you to purchase a product, you’re then reimbursed for that product once you have completed your task, these usually pay better.
