Hey!  I've decided to start a group to highlight what I do best-shop!  Ha.  No really, as a SAHM I always wanted my own money so over the years I have accumulated a database of links to mystery shopping, survey sites and free sample/product testing sites.  After years of having people ask me what I do, I've decided to do this to help you all! Things to know: NEVER pay to join a group or site.  All the sites I'm posting I have used personally, don't ever join groups off of an ad saying pay for mystery shopping.  THey'll just give you the same thing i'm giving you for free The one expection is the MSPA.  This is the organization for mystery shopping.  WHile you do not need to payto be a shopper, you can get certified after taking an onlone course and get more shops thru certain companies.  I waited a year until I did and I went silver for $15 but it is NOT necessary to get shops. Most survey sites either pay by cash (they'll deposite into paypal or send a check) or they will have you accumulate points to exchange for merchandise or gift cares.  They usually have you wait until you have a good balance, like say $10, before they will mail a check out because they don't want to pay $.42 cents for a stamp for a $1 survey.  That said, I'll be posting my links thru the message boards and you can reply thru there and I will answer any questions you may have. Set your member settings so you don't get 1000 annoying emails from me.  I'm on there posting a lot and you don't want your inbox stuffed full of my banter. No question is stupid, I'm sure everyone else has the same question too :) Hope to meet you all soon and let's make us some cash! http://www.lilaguide.com/Groups/Members/JoinGroupPrompt.aspx?action=Add&gid=911 nothing in life is free-except this :) Classifieds- Stores, Restaurants, Services, Products, Activities, Events
