Helle everyone!
Several posts ago, I wrote about my hustle adventures. I was on the search to find a hustle which would fit my current life. As I am working fulltime, I prefer something that could be easily done when it fits my time schedule. At the moment, I prefer no longtime commitments neither as my life is quite unsure in terms of what will happen. Thus I was looking around and tried several different things. My latest one which is going smoothly is: Mystery Shopping. I applied to be a mystery shopper to a certain firm located in Belgium. As I wasn't sure it would be a scam to achieve my contact information or not, I didn't have high hopes. Though, a couple of days later, I received an email with open opportunities.
I applied for an opportunity in which I had to contact car dealerships. I had to contact them and afterwards, evaluate them in terms of which information the car salesman gave me, how they contacted me and if they invited me to their garage. Today, I made my last arrangements and so far, I can tell I enjoyed doing this mystery shopping. Already filed a couple of the evaluation forms and will probably file the last ones next Friday as I have a day off at work than.
Normally I should be able to receive the payment after two months. As it's the first time I participate in such a mystery shopping research, I am still a bit sceptical if they will pay and if yes, if it will be in time. But hey, worst case, I just lost a couple of hours of my time while trying out something new. Not that bad in terms of risk-rewards. In terms of compensation, it isn't that good. If I would count all the hours I spend to the research and calculate some kind of fictive hourly wage, it wouldn't be too high. But as said, it's very flexible, I can contact the car dealers whenever I have the time to do so. I have a fulltime job, so it's rather some great 'beermoney'.
As I live in Belgium, where we have tons of good beers, having some spare beermoney, is always nice to have. Lately I drunk a Chimay Bleu. If you like brown beers, it's definitely one you should try.
I think it's even possible to find them quite easily outside of Belgium as Chimay is quite famous among beer lovers. It's one of the authentic trappists. Although with all the tariffs being thrown around, maybe you Americans won't be ale to find great Belgian beers anymore in the near future. Anyways, that means more Belgian beer for Belgium! :D
I got distracted a bit by beer, woops. Anyways, I will keep you guys up to date about my hustle adventure. As said, the next milestone should be Friday, as than I will file my last evaluation forms. Than the question will be if I will get my compensation and/or when will I get it.
As always, thanks for reading!
