Hi Dreababy,
Purely online mystery-shopping gigs are not that common. I've snagged one, from BestMark. Only paid $3. On the other hand, BestMark pays pretty quickly, and the job couldn't have been easier: look at the website in one window while filling out the report in another.
I've also done an online job for MSI, equally easy. But that one required a purchase in the $80-120 range, which I then had to return, requiring a visit to the local post office. Paid better though.
Telephone shops are much more common. Those often pay $2 or $3 dollars as well. It's not much money, but I guess it can add up if you just don't wanna leave the house.
Outside, of course, is where all the action is. Most mystery-shopping jobs involve visiting some place of business. Many require a minimum purchase in order to obtain a receipt as proof of your visit, and most often such purchases are reimbursed (at least partially). At the bottom of this and every page you'll find a link to the Official List of Mystery Shopping Companies. Apply to as many as you can to find all the opportunities in your area.
