Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

not including travel time...
bank ones usually take anything between 5-20 minutes (my average is about 7 minutes
fast food ones usually have a requirement to stay at the location for a min 15 mins
pubs usually 45-1 hour depending on brief
shops in general can taken between 10-30 minutes depending on requirements.
I average out at about 7 jobs a month and make between £40-70 on average, I also work full-time.
This month I have 8 booked in and that should earn me £62 plus reimbursements i.e. money I've spent buying items. but tax and travel have to come off that - so I'll probably make £35-40 profit this month

Half hour lunch hour, possible hour and a half after work and weekends.
How much could be made roughly per month?

A lot depends on location, variety of shops, how far you can or want to travel and how many other shoppers there are in the area.
A friend of mine works in the centre of Nottingham and lives close to the Town Centre, she manages to do an eating job at least 10 times in the month in her lunch time and also squeezes in some stamp shops, photo jobs and dry cleaning ones while she is there, the last time I spoke to her, she was making about £150 a month, she works for Retail Eyes, GAP and Frontline Focus.

They relax those rules if they need someone when someone else drops out at short notice. The best way to earn money with Gap is when they phone you, ask for a little extra on the fee, they are usually willing to pay, but never offer up front. The same applies for Retail Eyes, quite often they will raise the fee, if the job has been hanging around for a while."Dogs come when they are called.

Just a word of warning, I didn't get paid for my first MS assignment to a bank as I enquired about a current account and said it would be a joint one with DH.
Don't remember seeing anything about this in the brief, it just said act as though you want to transfer your existing account (which is a joint one)You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0
