Custom Search

This web site is specifically for those individuals wanting to learn more about HOW to become a Mystery Shopper and learning more about the industry. This is not a mystery shopping company site.

It is difficult for new shoppers to break into the industry - to know where to find legitimate mystery shopping companies and jobs, where to learn more about the industry, and sites that will help you. Most new shoppers learn by trial and error; however, if you learn ahead of time how to conduct a shop and what to expect when you start up in this industry, that will impress any Mystery Shopping Company, and you will be on your way to more shopping opportunities.

The goal of the Mystery Shopping Learning Center is to provide mystery shoppers with the tools and knowledge to have a successful experience. Our services and products include:

How to Guides
From learning about sites that offer legitimate work opportunities to guides detailing how to write and conduct shop reports for a variety of industries, these how to guides will provide you with valuable information for writing great reports.

Our industry specific guides will help you do an outstanding job when you do get your first assignment. The guides are written by our staff, many of whom have been shoppers and Account Managers for several years. They know exactly what it takes to complete a perfect shop. You can browse through the collection of how to guides, which are available for only $2.50 per guide.
