Telecommuting - Liveops

There are a lot of jobs out there where you can work from home, but here is one of my favorites.

http://www.liveops.com

You not only take calls for infomercials, you get other opportunities when you've proved yourself. This isn't an easy job, since you're competing with other people taking calls, but with some hard work, you can easily get in the 2000.00 and 3000.00 dollar a month clubs.

First, you must have a home phone and a reliable internet service.

You have to jump through a couple of hoops to get hired, but it is worth it. Fill out the online application, a basic computer test, and the phone audition. I personally don't know anyone who didn't pass the audition, even people with accents. After you get approved, you will need to complete your background information and send in the background check fee. I know it seems odd for them to charge you the fee, but they get so many people applying who aren't serious and they are out the background check fee. It is a minimal fee, so no worries. And, remember, if you get the job, you will be handling customer's confidential information all day long, including credit card information, so a background check is necessary.

After you pass the background check, you will need to fill out standard paperwork,such as where you want your paycheck deposited. You will get paid on the 1st and the 16th of every month.
You will work as an independent contractor through Liveops, so your home office is a tax right off. After all of your paperwork is done and the company confirms your phone number and internet, you need to go to the next step, which is certification. You only have 30 days to complete the certification, so do don't let your nervousness about taking calls delay you.

You don't get paid to do the certifications, but they don't take long to do. The certifications teach you the laws you need to know for your new job, how to get your computer set up along with how to take calls, and knowledge about the first calls you will be taking.

Next, you take 30 calls to complete the certification. Finally you are getting paid. The calls come in slow, since you are a newbie and need time to adjust. After 30 calls, you are now a full-fledged independent contractor with Liveops and you have many more money making opportunities coming your way.

This is a fun job and you meet great people sitting in your home office. Who knows maybe I will see you in the Liveops chatroom one of these days.
