text: Sign up for Mystery Shopping or Merchandising jobs. Go to www.volition.com and click on get paid for shopping. You will be able to apply directly with companies that are looking for shoppers in your area. I have been doing this the past 4 years and it is an excellent and fun way to make extra money. You can even go into their forums and find jobs too. \n\nThese companies are reliable companies that do not charge you anything to apply or get listings of jobs. The ones that make you pay money will just give you the names of companies that are on this list.
