Part 1: How We Made $400 By Becoming Mystery Shoppers & YOU CAN TOO! ( 

You guys are right! My husband and I made $600 in a week as Mystery Shoppers! It's all legit!

Hi. I'm a new subscriber and I have been somewhat binge watching your videos over the past few days. I was fired from my job in June. After that I worked in a temp position for about a month. I stopped the temp positions voluntarily for several reasons, but one reason is because it was an hour and a half away from my home. So, a full trip to and from work was three hours and it just wasn't worth it for the amount of money the job was paying. If I had kept that up, I would have eventually ending up losing money due to the amount gas I had to put in the car, not to mention wear and tear. So, I started browsing the internet for online work because of the pandemic and found your channel. What I really like about your videos is that you don't just talk around a subject. You give as much detail as you can possibly give to persuade your audience that this is doable. This video was done in 2015 and it is now 2020 and I wasn't familiar with secret shopping before coming across your video. I'm not sure if this is still a thing, but I am certainly going to look into it because this is definitely hustle season for me. This is the first time since I was a teenager that I didn't have a job and I turned 51 years old this year, so it's scary out here in these coronavirus streets. I have two people, my mom and my daughter, depending on me. So, I literally don't have anymore time to feel sorry for myself. I never imagined myself being fired, so I wouldn't have considered myself a hustler, but I'm about to learn today. I thought I would retire in my profession. Life can certainly throw some blows! You all are truly inspirational and have been a motivational influence for me since I have been watching you tell your story through these series of videos that I have watched thus far. Thank you.

Great video! I have been a mystery shopper for over 3 yrs now! I love it! And you are right it's EASY! The most important thing as you mentioned is you MUST follow the EXACT details as described in the Mystery Shop. I also have found it really helps if you are detail-oriented becuz many of the shops I have done you have to remember what you saw while in the place or establishment and are not allowed to bring paper & pen to write down notes for you to enter on the questionnaire form. I am detail-oriented and can remember pretty well but as I am getting older, as I am 63, I struggle with memory loss as millions of others also do but I am taking supplements that help your memory and found out the best thing you can do to help prevent memory loss is exercise! And it doesn't have to be something really strenuous and hard. A Dr. said just a daily walk 15-20 mins a day does a lot to prevent memory loss. So, I kill 2 birds with one stone(don't know where that saying came from becuz I would never kill a bird, I love them!) Lol. But I take my 2 dogs for a walk with me every day and they get the exercise that they need too! I had never heard of 4 of the 5 companies that you mentioned in your video. The other one Best Mark I am a current member and have done many shops for them. One thing you didn't mention and I don't know if these companies do it or not but I get graded on most of the mystery shops that I do. Usually on a scale of 1-10 and the higher grade that you get the more shops you will get becuz you have proven yourself to be a good, dependable mystery shopper. There are very few shops that I don't get when I request them becuz my grade is usually between 8-10One time I requested and got to Mystery Shop a mall that wanted 12 stores to be shopped. I applied for all of the stores thinking I might get 5 or 6 and they gave me all 12 of them!! I had 2 weeks to do them all and I did it! For one of the shops it was a restaurant that I had never eaten at before but always wanted to(my wife thought it would be too expensive) so I took my sister becuz my wife was at work and it was the best food! I I did a mystery shop recently at a bank and all I had to do was apply for their bank credit card. It did not matter whether I was approved or not and I was paid $200 for doing it! It took me about 40 mins to do it. I just received my check in the mail the other day! Hallelujah! Thank You Jesus!!

I did not pay the $25 dollars and have been inundated with requests to shop. I'm loving it! Thank you!!!!!!

Wow, my husband and I just watched a few of your videos for the first time today. We're newlyweds, and you are really encouraging us, as we have begun some of these financial steps together. Thanks and God bless your ministry!

Hi. I saw this video like two years ago and I signed up for like three of the companies. I didn't really understand what I was doing because I was receiving emails and shops from the companies but wasn't sure of which company it was. I also received shops that required too many details that seemed too much for me to follow. It was confusing to me, so I didn't do it. Then this year, I prayed to God to help me with my finances and He reminded me of the mystery shopping. So I said let me give it a try again. I responded to an email from one of the companies that had a shop that seemed easy for me to do. So I am happy to report that I did my first 4 shops yesterday. I have two more to do today and as soon as I get my shops approved and I get paid, I will update you. Now I understand the process a bit more. I wanted to say THANK YOU! I will sign up for more companies and keep track.I have a better idea of what type of shops that are suitable for me and my lifestyle. THANK YOU!!!! God Bless!

What a charming couple. You can feel the purity in your souls. I'm hitting the ground running! May the Universe continue to bless you.

The two of you have such a healthy relationship. Such positive energy. I pray you pay your mortgage off soon. You're so lucky to be a homemaker.

King & Queen!!!!! You have great and valuable content! I'm a saavy, single mom who's crushing her mortgage! Mystery shopping here I come, let's get it! You guys so ROCK!!!!!!!

I prayed show me what I can do LORD. We know (FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD). I BEGAN MY RESEARCH AND You led me here. Thanks Lord. And God Bless you both you're a gorgeous couple. Thanks for sharing and caring.

You got me back on the hustle, I used to do shops with Market Force years ago, now looking into some of the other companies and reinstating my Market Force account.

I love y'all. I watch a ton of youtube videos/vloggers but you all are the only ones I regularly share.

Hi Guys, I just wanted to give you an update. My husband and I are doing the Secret Shopping. He doing before work and his days off I am doing them after work and on my day off. I am so happy to report that our revenue will be over $300 for the month of November. We have paid off 1 credit card since I last contacted you. We are on schedule to pay off another credit card this month. I just want to let you know that you both have been a blessing to us. I will keep you posted we are heading to debt free. We are on baby step 2!!

I love this idea, guys!! I am a Christian too and you both inspire me so much with religion and money. I love how you explain things and give us ideas so that we may live a debt free life!! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!! My husband and I are looking to hustle with our finances and be able to buy our dream home that is obtainable to us. So thank you for being such an inspirational couple!! Keep up the good work and I will be telling my friends to check you guys out!! Sincerely, Melissa and Jonathan!!

Guys, I enrolled in this last year. I refuse to return to the corporate world. Amazing way to work from home.

Wow! God is good all the time and all the time God is good! I have been in prayer about being able to bring more income into our household where I can set my own hours and here you are! I have been leary about this whole mystery shopping but I know you are people of integrity and would not steer your subscribers wrong! It's #hustleseason for real y'all!

I'm addicted to your channel now. You are so funny and informative. Keep it up!

I personally don't think you're lying because when you pay your money you are technically still an actual customer until the company reimburse you. That's how I look at it. God knows your heart and your intentions are good. God bless.

You guys are awesome. Keep up the amazing work!

I just signed up to become a secret shopper after watching this video yesterday and I HAVE A JOB TODAY!

I THANK GOD for your unselfish sharing of this information. I truly appreciate you guys, use your tips & so enjoy your videos. You are quite insightful, informative & thorough. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!👍👍 My update: I watched this video right after you posted last month. I got so excited that I IMMEDIATELY shared it with 5 friends, signed up & within 1 day one if my friends was performing a shop. I began one week later and we both got our 1st DIRECT DEPOSITS today. #HustleSeason

I just signed up to be a mystery shopper and I decided to look up on RU-vid to see if anyone has done it, and who do I see but my favorite couple? AWESOME

Mystery Shopping has been around for years. I did it for a short period of time when I first moved out of state. It helped me earn income get/do things I needed or enjoyed as well as I learned my way around a new city. You just motivated me to start doing it again. Good luck in your journey.

2019 & still relevant, thank you & God Bless you both..beautiful couple!!

yes...thank you. I figured it out and have completed about 8 shops so far. Thank you for sharing you two are AWESOME!

Loved this! I am a homemaker and SAHM, and I will definitely be sharing this with my husband so we can implement it! #SideHustleSeason!

I applied for a few of these. My husband works for Best Mark and so he referred me to that one.

Love what you're doing especially as a black African American couple we really don't see that much black African young family that's doing good and doing successful we need more like you guys keep up the good work

My husband had to medically retire and we did not have our mortgage paid off. He is drawing his Social Security & so am I. BUT, we want to still demolish our mortgage loan. I believe we can still do it, even at our age! So keep the videos coming with all these good tips on saving money and earning extra money to pay down the mortgage.

I am a hard worker. I'm all about getting the money! I am definitely going to try it!!! Thank you so much for this info.

Im so impressed by your video. so generous and informative, They say information is power.. most people don't share such detail.. you have just given an example of true selfishness and generosity. May God provide you from every corner.. you might be helping someone in need with a source of income! Thank you! and congrats for such a wonderful video.

Just returned from my first "shop". Thanks to you. It was enjoyable!!!

You are an awesome and inspirational couple. The way you communicate and interact with each other reflects the teamwork and love you have for each other. Thank you for sharing all the information you have on ridding debt and building financial freedom. God bless!

Great video!!! Please wish me luck doing my first assignment today at a high end furniture store 🙆🙆🙆

I love you two. Intelligent warm and informative.

Hustle season!!! I just completed my first one. I did one where I will get free groceries up to $20. I can't thank y'all enough. I only wish I knew this years ago!!!!! Yay!!

I can't believe I'm just finding you two. Thumbs way UP...just subscribed.

Watching this video and these two, husband and wife got me so excited about earning extra money in a way that I only thought about years ago, many years ago. I've signed up and have been on a couple of assignments, easy breezy. The task are not hard either. This is a good way to earn extra cash in your share time.

So are you guys still mystery shopping? What's the update?

I found out about your channel from The Love Hour. I love how excited you are to share your wealth building tips!

We received our first check yesterday! Let me just say .... my husband was stunned, because he thought this was a trick. No tricks while I deposit the money into the bank! High Five (( ^5 )) to yall.

Wow!!! I love the Sunday night sit down!!!!!!! I have just recently found you all and I"m loving it so far, really loving all the information you all are so willing to share with all of us!!! You both have such a positive attitude, I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!! I have a lot of time on my hands after I get home from cleaning houses, so I will be putting some of these places to good use!!!!!!

Luv to see couples doing their thing as a unit! Luv that keep being a power couple! 😍

I just started back up again. I've been doing it on and off for about 3+years. I recently had a baby and decided to become an at home mom. So of course because I have future plans and am used to working, I went back to it. My husband likes the restaurant shops and am introducing my friends to it. Not to mention that 90 to 95% of the time, I can take the baby. It's a win win 😉

Having a separate account for this is brilliant! Thanks for the information.

This is one of those videos that I'm trying to watch all the way through without clicking the links below. I'm too excited lol thanks so much for sharing.

I want to thank u for helping me get a job as a mystery shopper. Thank u for taking the time t help me.😎✌️😃

I came here because the lady on your podcast paid off her debts doing this. I'm in Canada so maybe the links won't work for me but I already do mystery shopping but haven't been consistent.

I love the video. I currently been doing mystery shopping for 5 years and I love it.

Signing up today hustle season 2017

You guys rock! Ya'll are so helpful. Thank you! :)

You have to look at companies on side of independent contractor without joining it wont let you go any further to see which companies are available in you area.

Thanks so much for this information; I got my "hussle on"; God Bless You!

Thanks for the response on the other video, I watched the out of order. LOL! Thanks I am a stay at home mom and this would help. Thanks for sharing again!

I remember her from Extreme Couponing!!!! Inspirational all around.

I'm rewatching this video a year later, lol. (Can you say "procrastinate"?) Anyway, my question is how you schedule these. It sounds like maybe you take a day or two and do several, then not again for a week or two. Did you ever schedule too many for one day? What's the most you would feel comfortable doing in one day? How much time did you invest, in a restaurant shop or the oil change?Did you find it difficult to get the shops you wanted? I noticed some types seem to go fast. Thank you again for the informative (and funny) videos.

...SUPER SHOW ...telling all the friends about you ...lost track of time listening ...

New subscriber. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great how-to! Came over to you via Budget Girl! I hit your subscribe button! 👍

Thanks for sharing your excitement with us! We are happy for you. I'm just about convinced to give this a try. I have two under two (kids) so free time is my only concern - and being able to think straight and not make a mistake. Man - I was about to take a nap and now I'm sitting up after this video.

I can't wait to get started

Ya'll are hilarious! Love the videos. I used to do mystery shopping with BestMark back in the day. I'm definitely going to start up again so I can use the extra money to pay down the hubby and I's debt. Thanks for the great info but for real ya'll are on point.

All the thumbs up! New Sub. Honey lighting is on point ;-)

You guys are so REAL! Thanks for the good tips.

Ya'll are such a blessing. Let's get our hustle on!!!

This is right up my alley. I would love to do this! Thanks so much sharing!

My new side hustle in motion! Gotta make this happen!

I truly appreciate you all for this information.

When you do Toyota, BMW, Nissan, and Porsche they pay you $150 per visit, these shops are great.

Just signed up, I'm excited about making this "easy" money. Thanks for sharing.🙂

Thanks guys! I can't wait to try it. Perfect timing for my family.

You never give your SSI # out to apply for a job , that you might not get ( They have your SSI # now and you have no job what did they do with it ????? ) Only give it out when your hired Jobs should never ask for it when applying ONLY WHEN YOUR HIRED GIVE IT Diantha Bewarder

Hey guys, love this video....just signed up with best mark, will be checking out the other 4 companies,new supporter,tfs

I Like to do assignments for apartments, so I don't have upfront fees.

I'm a stay at home mom of 2 who are not in school yet, are we able to bring our children along? Thanks for sharing this video!

This was an amazing info video on this topic. Thanks so much you guys are awesome!.

Well, thanks so much for the information. I've heard of Mystery Shoppers, but was always hesitant for fear of scams (especially hearing about it from someone shaddy). However, since being a subby, I've gained a trust in you two and do plan to check this out. Who can't use extra funds?!

I was trying to think of a way to earn money without getting a second job. Thank you so much. I will try it.

Omg!!!! I need this. I'm going to share w my hubby. I want to be debt free.

Thank you so much for sharing this information!! I forgot about mystery shopping. This is definitely something we will look into! #hustleseason #debtbuster

im now doing this but i only did 2 locations by doing drug screening so i didnt have to buy anything. w/ a lot of these companies u have to buy stuff and then get reimbursed so thats annoying. but if u have upfront money to spend then its ok

I love your channel. I can't wait to watch some of your videos with my fiance- we get married in just 3 weeks and will be managing finances together. I want to be successful at it like you two!

Side hustle! Thank you for taking the time to fully explain Mystery Shopping. I am going to try this! :))

Ellis apartment management shop, these shop are great

I went to the MSPA website, clicked Independent Contractors, Search Opportunities Board and it states on that page to log in, you have to be a member. Maybe they changed it.

Wow! Mystery Shopping has always been in the back of my mind. I actually rate businesses w/o getting paid for it! I mean, if I get bad service or see a nasty restroom... I say to myself..."If I was a mystery customer, they would get a bad review!". Oh boy! I'm going to do this. It just makes sense. TFS. New Subscriber!! 👋☺
