PART 10: CONSUMER RESEARCH
There are tons of companies that are interested in getting the opinion of customers for their business, product, website or service. Some of these may require you to appear in person.
In most cases though they are going to want you to test out their product and then provide feedback on it. In some instances you might even get to keep the product.

10.6 Mystery Shopping
Many businesses are interested in being “mystery shopped” which essentially means you are pretending to be a legitimate customer. I’ve done this before and it works great in the hospitality field such as by writing restaurant reviews.
Often you have to go to the site and perform some tasks (for example sit down and order a meal). Later when you return you fill out a survey (did the waiter say hello, that sort of thing) as well as a quick write up.
Payment often includes the cost of the meal AND a set wage per project (varies but could easily be $25-$50 and potentially more). It’s great if it is a place you are already interested in going to, like a restaurant, since the budgets for meals can be pretty high.
The only catch is that with many of the companies you have to be at least 24.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants
to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had
to tell someone!
