Phone Sex Jobs: Which Company is Right for You?

Working from home means independence and freedom from the mundane life of schedules, bosses and dress code, and it also makes spending quality time with your family more possible. Many people take advantage of their talents, and work from home, especially with easy to find employment on the internet, and some of the more popular work at home opportunities stem from the adult entertainment industry, such as phone sex, adult cams, and even shot-at-home video entertainment. If you're interested in becoming an adult phone actress(i.e. phone sex operator), knowing the right companies to apply to is important.

USA Chatline(http://www.usachatline.com/): Usa Chatline is a veteran adult chat business, that hires several recruiters to bring in voice talent. They pay extremely low, and sometimes their checks seem to make a habit of getting lost in the mail, according to their supervisors. Also, when it comes to getting into contact with a superior, it is almost impossible, and when you do get a hold of someone, they aren't very friendly if it's about your missing paychecks. They are constantly hiring, because girls are constantly quitting. Pay averages at about seventeen cents per talk minute, with an expected ten minutes per conversation. I worked for them for two months and made only three hundred dollars, even though I worked for eight hours a day.

USLove(UsLove.com): Uslove is the oldest adult chat company to date, and hires people for permanent services. It takes a long time to get hired, but the pay is pretty decent, and you have a chance to make a substantial income. I've never personally worked for this company, but I have never heard anything negative about it from my friends who have worked for them.

IAS (http://www.ias-xxx.com): Interactive AudioText Services, or IAS, has been in the business about twenty years now, and is one of the best companies to work for, if you can get used to the main daytime office manager, Heather. Generally, the base pay is quite low, comparable to USA Chatline's per minute pay, but there are so many bonuses in a work week, you don't even realize how small the base pay really is. If you can work thirty hours a week, you can expect at least three hundred dollars for that week's pay. They do pay weekly, and offer direct deposit, and never short your pay, or lose the checks in the mail. To clarify more about Heather, the office manager, all that needs to be said is that you don't want to get on her bad side. She takes mistakes in your performance personally, and takes it out on you. Some days she will seem to be in just a bad mood, and interrupt you in mid-call to berate you for whatever reasons she has at that particular moment, ultimately losing your caller, and messing up your hold-time-average for the day. However, Heather rarely talks to you personally, and the staff of dispatchers are very friendly, and fun to work with.

PPS(http://www.ppschat.com): This company should definitely be avoided if you expect things to run like an actual business. This is the first company that I worked for, when I was eighteen years old, and again when I was twenty-three years old. They boast that you can get paid up to eighteen dollars an hour, but in actuality, you will usually only make an average of ten dollars per hour. They don't pay per the minute, instead you are expected to keep a phone or headset on for shifts of eight hours. You listen to dead air until calls come in. They offer bonuses if you work on holidays but then they refuse to pay you, when you make more than a few hundred dollars in bonus money. On a brighter note, Kim and David are very nice people, and they did pay my phone bill for me once, to keep my phone on so I could work. I eventually quit after my Christmas bonus check was seven hundred dollars short! To this day I haven't been able to get the money from that company, even after contacting the BBB.

Universal Talk LTD(http://www.chatrecruit.com): This is a London-based adult chat company that doesn't hire very frequently. It's a more advanced company to work for, meaning you are responsible for providing content, whether it be pictures of you, or pictures you have purchased from a content provider. It is not a trolling company, but you are expected to broadcast bulletin-style messages on their main site, to attract potential callers. The pay is good, and you can choose how often you get paid. You have to have a bank account, as they only pay via wire transfer, and you never have to deal with supervisors or other office staff, as the site is fully automated. I highly recommend UT LTD, if you're experienced in adult chat, and have the references to prove your experience. Universal Talk only hires experienced and seasoned girls.

In conclusion, working in the adult phone chat industry can be very lucrative if you find the right company, and avoid the frauds. I didn't properly research my options before applying, resulting in the loss of close to two thousand dollars and literally months of my time. There are plenty of resources on the net for people to look into, including special forums for phone actresses.
