Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Two)

I think the photo thing should work - as long as it's a good quality one. The companies usually ask for a JPG file so photo should be fine in that respect.

I'd recommend getting a cheapo scanner though; it'll be a life saver when you're doing 10 jobs a day!

yeah i will look into it thanks

also, is there a set list of expenses and the amounts that you can claim when doing a tax return? i think i have read that for each page printed you can claim 6p and mileage is 40p a mile, is this correct? is there anything else? like can you claim for report writing time? i want to make sure that i claim everything i am allowed otherwise all my profits will be swallowed up by tax! thanks again

How are you getting to see jobs on the Grass roots site? When I go in I can only update contact details and that's it, it doesn't let me go to the 'Assignments' section at all.

Also, has anyone used any focus groups sites? I've signed up to Focus4people and Focus Force and was wondering if anyone had any experience of either of them or could recommend any others.

Thanks

Grrrr (that is my mad growl). The post above made me think to log into grassroots as I haven't had an email for a week and a half only to find that I have missed two assigments. They became unavailable at 31/08/2007 23:58. I signed in at exactly a minute after GRRRR.

note to self check in regularly now that new system is underway. GRG pay so well too me mad

Focusforce, F4people and Indiefield are all really good. I make a lot of money through F4people. When you sign on with FForce make sure you tell Vanessa you are ONLY with them and no-one else because they request exclusivity. Also sign up with Saros. Not as frequent but if you get an email there is a 80% chance you will be booked if you respond.

RE always get my top marks - they're such a pleasure to work for!

GAP on the other hand.... I only do jobs for them when they beg me to!

RE are okay but they never seem to allow enough expenses for what they want you to carry out. For example order 2 main meals and 2 drinks for £15 :rolleyes:
The only time I mind being out of pocket is when I carry out hotel visits for TNS!

Has anyone travelled through BAI. Have mostly kept it local for them but I am thinking of doing their flight check visits. Any pointers?

Edited to add that I have just noticed that OC pulse are now doing flight checks too I adore MS!

Whenever I log onto RE there is some jobs that have to be done tomorrow or ASAP. On my screen they do not seem to have jobs that you can book a week or later in advance. Or am I missing them. I have only been signed up with them for a month now and I keep missing jobs becasue I am either working or busy when they say that they have to be done.

When you have updated all you details and submitted them, then you should be allowed to access the assignments. They have added some extra details as well, but you will have to check reguarly, as they do not always send an email out. I have picked up 2 jobs, but missed 5 so far.
