I was wondering about this type of shop and audits as well. Are they easier or about the same as a mystery shop?
I signed up with Mysteryshop and it was a good place to start. What I did was pay the $9.99 for 1 week of gold membership, and registered will all of the companies that I was emailed jobs for. If you don't want the whole $99 commitment, it is a good way to start. Just be SURE to cancel your membership before the week is up or you will be charged the whole amount.
I received and shopped more than enough to cover that amount and then some. I may re-register again as a gold member as the offers seem to ebb and flow. Maybe it's because of the holidays.
I haven't made a ton of money, but average about $15 each and have done about 25 since August. I have found that bank shops seems to be the best paying. I try to also register with one or two new companies a day.
I have one question. Is the use of a digital voice recorder acceptable practice? It would be so much easier to accurately report detail, but I didn't know if it was ok.
