Should You Pay To Join A Company?

Filed under: Become a Secret Shopper — Mystery Shopping Momma @ 7:56 pm

Most people see websites that require a fee before you can start going on shops. I have found that you have a higher chance of getting scammed by going through these sites. That is not to say that there are some credible sites out there but I just do not see the need when you can do it for free. There are also some companies that look for certified shoppers. I have not gone that rout yet for two reasons. First, I wanted to shop and become familiar with the way shops work. Some companies give there higher paid or shops that require more detail to certifies shoppers. Second, I figure when I am ready I can use the money I have made to pay for it. That way if it is a scam I am not out of my own money. I have found that some companies provide the first level of certification at no cost. I will have to find out which ones and post them for you.  If it were me I would NEVER pay to join a company unless I get high recommendations or I know someone who shops for that company. Even then there is no need when you can do it for free.  Check out The Secrets of Mystery Shopping Revealed by The Federal Trade Commission for more on this topic.
