Phone chat jobs pop up all the time, so it can be overwhelming to decide where to apply. When I first started in this industry, I thought all phone sex companies were the same. But I quickly found out they can vary greatly. Some companies pay their contractors literally pennies on their talk time. The best paying phone companies are direct dial companies like WBMT.
Direct dial means you answer the phone and process your caller. There is no dispatch person in the middle taking care of the billing part. Those kinds of companies usually do not require much from you. Woman just answer the phone all day. Now, a direct dial company pays you more, usually at least half of what the per minute rate is for the callers. But because they pay more, they expect more like blogging and set schedules.
The first company I worked for paid us $30 cents a minute. The phone felt like it was always attached to my head. And even working a shit ton of hours, I never made more than $400 a week. I could not pay my bills like that. But I thought that was standard until I saw an ad for WBMT offering up to a $1.10 a minute on my talk time. I applied and I have been here ever since. And I did not mind the extra work like blogging. I did not even mind a set schedule.
Even when I was in my first weeks of training, I still made more money than I did at the first pso company. Now my paychecks average $1500 a week. I work for that money by blogging my ass off and working 60 hours a week. But I used to work 80 to 100 hours a week, have no life and still not be able to pay my bills. If you are being paid pennies on your talk time or not making more than $400 a week, you are at the wrong PSO company.
