Work At Home Advice

Try liveops.com if you don't mind upselling (you'll have to pay for your own background check but this is a legitimate company). I did this for a year and it was a blessing. I've recently applied to Westathome.com to do this through nursing school instead of staying at my LTC facility.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "upselling?" Thanks for your response!

LiveOps independent contractors would take infomercial calls. So, for example, if you were an agent and got a call from someone wanting to purchase proactiv solution, throughout the call you would offer them additional products and services, 90-day supply rather than 30 days, medicated shampoo, multivitamins, etc.... It's annoying, of course, but the customer either accepts or not and you move on.

When I worked from home, I contracted my virtual call center business with www.arise.com. It's a long process and many fees involved including having your own business and paying for training classes. I also worked through www.liveops.com during the holidays as independent contractors (1099 employee). Only had to pay for background check fee. You can probably check out www.alpineaccess.com because they hire employees not contractors so you wouldn't have to pay self-employment taxes like other work at home jobs. Alpine Access only hire in certain states. I wish they hired in Ohio because I love the flexibility of working from home. You can check out www.workingsolutions.com and http://www.hirepoint.com/athome/index.html too. Good luck!!!
