7 Mystery Shopping Companies
Mystery shopping is real, and there are hundreds of legit companies that hire for these opportunities. While they are not purely remote and wouldn’t count as a “job”, the work is flexible so you can work on your time, and you are not going into an office every day.
There are people who make a full time living from this, but you have to be extremely organized. There are even phone, and online shops you can do from the comfort of your home. Most shops however, are in person visits, and each shop requires that you submit an online report about your experience.
