Remote shops we can do from home, like phone/website shops?

I'd really like to do remote shops from home these days, like phone or website shops. Are there many of those?

I think awhile ago, there were some gym inquiry shops that paid just $5, but it didn't necessarily involve any talking. They assigned very few of them, though. They were barely worth it.

Years ago, there was a phone shop where we called a stadium. Those were some of the better shops, and they paid about $12. The reports involved more written comments then usual, but wasn't that bad.

If you can let me know about shops we can do entirely from home with decent pay or reimbursement for the time/energy involved, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

More About Phone Shops

I know of a few MSC's that have phone and web shops but, I don't know any with "decent pay". Most everything I see is for $5 or $7.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

Shoppers' View has phone shops every month. They typically pay between $4 and $6, and there is no lengthy report (typically you only answer: # of attempts, associate name, and whether the call was answered in 3 rings or less). Our system automatically records your call, so no equipment is needed. To find and apply to our phone shops, please register at www.shoppersview.com.

Once registered, go to your Job Board. Expand the radius out to 999 mi. Click 'Additional Filters', and select 'Phone' from the project type drop-down menu. Shoppers can be awarded up to 5 shops at a time. Preference is given to shoppers who live within 100 miles of the location.

Shoppers are paid via PayPal. Shops submitted between the 1st and 15th 11:59pm EST will be paid around the last day of the month. Shops submitted between the 16th and 31st 11:59pm EST will be paid around the 15th of the following month. Please reach out via email if you have any questions or concerns (christinew@shoppersview.com).

If you are someone like me who prefers to do phone shops, the key to earning a decent income is to sign up for companies like Intellishop and Bestmark. Of course, the standard pay is $5 (lucky to get $10 or $20 phone shops sometimes) but I take a few everyday. It fits with my daily routine and they are no too time consuming once you get the hang of it. I've been able to earn more than a decent income doing phone shops and web inquiries.

I got an email recently about phone shops. Can't remember which company. Probably because they only paid $1 each. That I remember.

Ellis has phone/virtual apartment tour shops paying $10 with most having a bonus.

If you live over 100 miles from the location can you still do them? I have done a few of them in the past and I have enjoyed doing them. The last few times I have checked I have not seen any posted

Thanks

I did some good paying ones years back for the same insurance company in many different states. I had fun altering my accent on each one. At Christmas, the MS company staff called me to thank me for keeping them so entertained that year.

Yes, you can still them if you're more than 100 miles out! I would say that the majority of our shoppers live further out, but if you're applying to a lot of shops at once, I would start with the ones that are closest to you first. We typically post the majority of our phone shops a couple days before the start of the month. We have a few clients that have a mid-month round. After that, we have re-shops, so it's just a few that trickle on to the board.

Advanced Feedback was the MSC

We have monthly phone shops that are easy to complete at [MarketApproach.ClientSmart.com]
We pay VIA ACH (Bill.com) 2 times per month. Payments are definitely quick!

We post our monthly shops at the beginning of month and they typically schedule quickly. If you don’t see any right now, check again on 1st day of the month.

Thanks!

Boy, did you get some great responses from schedulers and other shoppers!

I constantly receive e-mails for phone shops; kudos to anyone who can complete them. I hate them; I've tried probably 100, and failed miserably. For example, I reported on one shop the agent was professional and businesslike. The editor who listened to my call called me to tell me the woman on the receiving end of the call was just a b****! I was shocked. She added I was way too nice, too chatty, and should just shut up.

Intelli-shop has dozens. IPSOS has thousands (I initially wrote dozens, but there's 6 pages just in my state, and another six for Colorado, and even more for Kansas!), high pay, too, especially if you don't mind calling a bank to complain.

Absolutely not my cup of tea. When I was going through really tough financial times, and no car to go mystery shopping, I worked on them over 100 hours. I earned $35 total, and that only because the scheduler pushed through some shops I didn't do well on.

I'd rather eat liver than try it again - and I really, REALLY hate liver!

Second to None has a phone shop that pays $65. I completed it last week. The 5 day timeframe is to give the client time to respond.

AboutFace Corp has junk removal shops and junk removal shops you can do from your home. They are NOT just phone calls as the team would still come out to view your items (for the estimate shops) or remove items (for the removal shops.) www.AboutFaceCorp.com

You can also email JunkRemoval@AboutFaceCorp.com with any questions. (No spam, please)

Primo Solutions, LLC almost always has $10 phone shops. They are mostly senior living, but some are apartments. www.PrimoSolutionsLLC.com I no longer schedule for Primo, but you can look at them online and apply. The reports aren't bad. They are not as long as some other companies.

Has anyone done the remote apartment shops for EPMS?

The STN phone shop was well worth it. There are 3 scenarios and you are assigned one. There are two reports. The first is simple. The second report, done 5 days later, is more detailed.

KSS posts phone and web shops every month.. hundreds of them.. that can be done from anywhere. Are you registered on our site? [www.sassieshop.com]

That sounds awesome. I want to do some of your shops. Just signed up. Twice a month?! Yes!!
