Liz Pulliam Weston from MSN Money wrote another great article for MSN Money and also for us. Her article, “4 Real Jobs that you can do from home” is really a great article to read if you want to start a home base business or building your income from home. Here is the first job that she recommends to us:

ÂÂ

“Mystery shopping and survey-taking
These opportunities have been around for awhile, but the Internet has made finding them easier, Webb said.

“Mystery shoppers” are typically paid $5 to $100 per assignment to pose as average customers and then critique a store or service, Webb said. The range for filling out surveys or participating in focus groups can be even wider, from a few bucks to a few hundred bucks a shot.

As with other work-at-home jobs, applicants need to be prepared to start small and work their way up. Research companies look for reliable, articulate, detail-oriented people and tend to reward the ones who consistently perform well, Webb said.

Both jobs tend to come with freebies as well as cash. Webb said she’s been given everything from free laundry detergent to free diapers in exchange for her opinion on surveys.

Mystery shopping tends to take more time and effort but generally pays more. Webb said she makes about $6,000 a year in cash, plus free goods and services worth $3,000 to $4,000.

“I work it in with our schedule. I look at the week ahead and think, ‘Where do we want to go? What do we want to do?’” she said. “If I need to buy clothes, I’ll look to see if they need a mystery shopper.”

Some Internet-based mystery-shopping services include:

• A Closer Look
• Corporate Research International Mystery Shops
• Mystery Guest Inc.
• Service Intelligence Secret ShopNet

National survey companies with an Internet presence include:

• American Consumer Opinion
• National Family Opinion
• Survey Savvy
• Synovate”

Does Liz Pulliam Weston means pay to survey program? Not really after reading further. I don’t have any experience with what Liz Pulliam Weston said but I think it is not bad to make Mystery shopping and survey-taking as your home based income. $6000 and some free goods and services worth $3000 to $4000, total up $10000 of profit a year! Not bad. Now I also try to click on the link and read through the program, see whether I can join them and start my own home based part time job, J.
