There are a lot of people advertising what is called a mystery shopper position.  Basically, you go into a store, buy something or don’t, evaluate their store, and they pay you back, you get to keep the stuff, and they sometimes pay you more.  But you of course have a limit on what you can buy.  Some are perfectly legitimate.  But there are many Americans flocking to them and often finding that they can’t exactly get the jobs they think they’re getting, because the agency they used was not legitimate.  They often just charge a fee to hook you up with stores, and then they don’t come through.  I’ve found that honestly most stores don’t use a third party agency.  They hire their own mystery shoppers.  So there’s a start.  I’ve also learned how to tell which ones are the mystery shoppers as have many people who have worked in retail stores before.  They are usually suspicious, don’t know what they’re doing, and frankly for that reason most don’t last.  You can’t depend on mystery shopping for your main income.  If you find a legitimate place, it will be supplemental at best.  You are not going to earn 200 to 600 per week, be realistic.  In addition, you have to be humble, observant, and above all willing to follow instructions.  You have to have the right computer equipment, so if you don’t already have it, it may not really be worth it, and frankly you are still working for someone else.  And finally, you have to be able to maintain your own records.  All of these things are necessary to being successful in this area if you are going to be at all.
