Make Extra Money Working at Home (Part 2)
This is a continuation of my series on how you can make extra money working at home. Yesterday, I detailed how you can make money working at home if you can find companies that offer legitimate jobs. Today, I will tell you some companies that offer legitimate work at home jobs.
The work at home jobs I will let you know about today involve answering calls in your home. You will basically be working at a home based call center for companies that have outsourced their order taking, customer service and/or sales calls. This allows the companies to save money over what it would cost to have an in-house call center and allows you to make money working at home.
The benefits to working at home are obvious but there are some drawbacks to working for these companies as well. The pay is fairly low, about $8 an hour is common, you often need to have a dedicated phone line for answering calls, and you only get paid for the time you are actually talking on the phone. Still the appeal of working at home might be enough for you to overlook these drawbacks. Some companies that hire for work at home are Alpine Access, Arise, LiveOps, and WestatHome. I don’t have any personal experience with any of them. I’d be interested in feedback from anyone who has worked for one of these companies.
