Get paid Extra Cash to Enjoy Yourself

Updated on January 16, 2010

Its true. You can enjoy yourself and get paid for it.

While some people work so hard for many hours a day, some people are just having the time of their life and getting paid for it. So, if you want a change and would love to get paid for enjoying yourself, why not bear the following jobs in mind or use them to supplement your income.

 

A Wine Taster

Wine tasting is simply the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. You check out the appearance of the wine, the aroma the “in mouth” sensations and the "after taste". No experience? – You could go on a one day Course. There are many places that do this, but I have only put one link.

If you are interested, check out the Adverts.

Ps – Not a full time job.

Games Tester

Get paid to play games - This job involves playing a game over and over again, testing different levels (including incomplete versions of a game), anticipating different ways the game could be played and evaluating the game against those that are already being sold on the market.

Testers are office based and spend much of their time sitting at a desk using a computer. It could be a full time job – 35 hours.

Interested? Check out Adverts by searching Jobs on the internet. (Do a search "Games testing jobs").

Secret Shopper

Mystery shopping or Mystery Consumer is a process used by companies to measure quality of retail service or gather specific information about products and services. Mystery shoppers pretend to be normal customers by performing specific tasks—such as buying a product, asking questions, registering complaints or behaving in a certain way – and then provide detailed reports or feedback about their experiences to the company who sent them.

Companies like Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Target.com will pay you to shop their online stores and evaluate the service you receive. You get reimbursed for your online orders, so you're actually shopping for FREE!

As a Secret Shopper, you are paid to do all the things you love to do, like eating in Top restaurants, shopping at your favourite store, going to see the latest film releases, amusement parks and you don’t pay for any of it. You could also take your family.

You can start immediately! Most companies will send assignments right to your email inbox! Just register with as many companies as you like and wait for job offers to pour in!

Ps.This is a job best used for supplementing your income – not a full time job.

If you are interested, here are some Adverts.

** I am registered with a few Secret Shopper websites and intend to write another Hub later, reviewing it.
