Work at Home With Liveops!

After I started researching work at home jobs, I came across a company called Liveops. I decided to apply to be an independent contractor for them, and I haven't looked back since. In my opinion, Liveops is by far the best and most reliable work at home opportunity currently out there.

The work that you do as an independent contractor for Liveops is to take calls for infomercials. For example, say someone sees an infomercial on television for a product, with a number to call to order. They dial the phone number, and the call goes to Liveops. Liveops then forwards the phone call to your home phone. You will then see a window pop-up on your computer with a script to read, and your phone should begin ringing. All you have to do then is to pick up your phone and read to the caller whatever script you see on your computer. You then input the caller's information on your computer, and process the order. (It is actually easier than it sounds.) And that's it!

I really enjoy working for Liveops because it is extremely flexible, (you only have to sign up for around 30 minute blocks of work time,) and their pay is pretty competitive for a work at home company. Additionally, unlike other work at home call centers, they provide the work training to you for free.

Take note though: This can be a demanding job for some people, and I myself sometimes feel tired after taking a lot of calls. This is mainly because it does involve a LOT of talking. Additionally, there are the rare times that I will get a prankster on the line. (Thankfully, I have only had two of these calls so far.) And also, Liveops has a process known as "Upsells." Basically, a customer could be calling in for a lawn care product, and you could be trying to sell them additional things such as memberships or warranties. Though you do sometimes get paid more for this, it can be extremely frustrating to both you and a customer when you have to go through a ton of these upsells. I have had a few customers who have even hung up because they just didn't have time for all of the upsells. Still, other than these downsides, the job is pretty good.

Good Luck!
