My daily $ goal was to meet all my bills with nothing left over but now that my daily $ goal has gone up, I will be able to start saving $$$$. I am working 7 days a week but that is because I want to get to a point that I can take two weeks off and visit my friends.
Enough already, what is it I am doing all day, tell us please, OK I hear you. I take calls all day. You have seen these products in a commercial or an infomercial. Magic Bullet, Back2 life, Slim in 6, Debt Cures, and so on and so forth. People call the 800 number for the product and order that product. It is my job to sell that product and any other items that go with it (upsells) then at the end are what is known as Affinities. The Affinities are magazines and other club type stuff like a free gift card and free 30 days of using the service then they have to call to cancel or they will be charged.
Ok some of these products I will never use but just because I don’t find these items useful does not mean that someone else won’t. Also, if I didn’t sell this product to this person someone else will. The first few calls were pretty scary, but you have a ’script’ to follow and that helps. They told me that the FCC requires me to make all the offers and all the affinities. The only way to get past that is if they threaten to cancel the order then you get to skip all the upsells and all the affinities. Sometimes you don’t get a warning, they just hang up on you. Some stuff you HAVE to read ver batim. You can’t leave out one word.
I was doing research on work at home jobs. I applied to one place and I did not hear back from them so I continued to do more research. I applied at a second place but I didn’t type fast enough for that job. So I kept researching. I applied to a third place and bingo!! It paid off.
Start the application process. 1 Provide basic contact and background information. Then you do a voice audition and take a reading comprehension test and (later) possibly a 45 minute skills assessment. 2 You must pass a background check and a credit check. This is a $50 fee that you pay for via a credit card. 3 Then you will be invited for a Virtual Business Presentation. They send you a code and you log on and see the presentation. You have a limited time to do this. They ask you to sign a contract. (I don’t remember the part about the Virtual Business Presentation).
So you are saying to yourself that is a lot of hours. Ok how much time do you spend getting ready for work, then add how much time you spend getting to work, then add how much time you spend at work, then add how much time you spend getting home from work (errands dont count). Now compare that to the time I have spent online. Uh huh not so many hours now ehhh. For me I don’t have a gasoline bill anymore nor do I put wear and tear on my car. I will be able to spend less for car insurance now.
So here I sit in my jammies drinking coffee between calls. I thought I would be able to do knitting or crocheting or other needlework between calls but I have to grab a ’seat’. The calls go to the people that have seats first, then they go to the people that have the highest ‘conversion’ rates. So I spend a lot of time grabbing seats. Hopefully I will reach a point that my conversion rates will rise to the point where I can afford to do a little needlework.
I have learned to eat food in little tiny bites so that when a call comes I can finish eating before I pick up the phone.
The equipment required: pc, landline phone with headset jack, corded (not wireless) headset, high speed internet connection (not wireless). PC must be fairly recent. Remember any $ spent on these items can be applied to taxes on the self employment tax form when you do your income taxes. This form is schedule C. In addition you have to pay self employment taxes, these are the social security and medicare taxes. Then you have to pay estimated income taxes.

Work at home jobs really do exist
That statement has made some of you sit up and take notice.
Yup I work at home. All I have to do is get up drink my coffee, eat breakfast and turn on the computer. Then I start taking calls. My first paycheck was less than 500$ but my second paycheck is going to be $1287 but that is before taxes. That is for two weeks plus one day of work. After taxes that works out to about $450 per week. I am responsible for paying the taxes as I am an independent contractor. At tax time I now have to fill out extra paperwork. I have to fill out the self-employed paperwork.
Work at home job is my backup plan. I am hoping that it will continue to work out for me. I spent very long hours at the beginning to bring my stats up and it has paid off. How many hours? I got up and was ready for work by 5:30 am and stayed on the computer taking calls until it was time for bed. I am allowed a bathroom break 4 minutes and 59 seconds out of every 30 minutes. By now though I meet my daily $ goal by 3:30 pm and sometimes sooner, so of course my daily $ goal has gone up My daily $ goal was to meet all my bills with nothing left over but now that my daily $ goal has gone up, I will be able to start saving $$$$. I am working 7 days a week but that is because I want to get to a point that I can take two weeks off and visit my friends.
