Working a phone job is often one of the most lucrative home based job fields. Pay is almost always fair and the hours often stable. However, depending on the company you work for, time of day or the number of other phone agents working- you could end up with a lot of down time waiting for your next call to come through. There are plenty of ways to fill that time and give you the highest earnings possible for your hours worked!

 

Here are six online money making ideas and things I did when I worked as a virtual call agent:

 

Data Entry with KeyforCash–

KeyforCash is a data entry company. One of the few that are actually easy to get into and truly legit. However, keyforcash doesn’t pay very well at all, but when using it as a filler it is fun and easy!

Web Based Tasks-

My favorite of all the mini task sites is Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, or mturk for short. If you follow along with forums like turkernation then you can keep up with the best paying tasks available and make some decent money. In fact, there are some people who make a fair living just working mturk!

Surveys-

There are so many of these and although they don’t always pay very much and sometimes can be a waste of time if they decide you aren’t a fit for the survey- this is still a great way to bring in a few extra bucks an hour to add to your phone job pay. I have also enjoyed the many times I was a part of big corporation decision makings. Like when I helped Loreal choose their recent packaging or when I was the first to test out a children’s software program. Keeps life interesting.

Some of my favorite survey sites:

OpinionPlace
MySurvey
Surveys.com

Forum Postings-

Postloop is one of the highest suggested places to make extra money by being social in online forums. They pay quickly with a minimum cash out of only five dollars.

 

Writing-

Places like Textbroker, MediaPiston or The Content Authority are FANTASTIC ways to increase your hourly rate when working a slow phone job. These are places that many do as a full time job- writing quick and basic articles on a variety of subjects. You choose your tasks and as long as you submit within the given deadline, often more than 24 hours, you can work on the articles between calls. Textbroker pays weekly, causing it to be one of my most recommended home based companies.

General Transcription at Quicktate-

This can be tricky to do while taking phone calls but given the right situation could work just fine. When you are available at Quicktate, they will send you voice files that you hear through your computer’s speakers and then type out. The files are usually under a minute long and are most often people’s voicemails. You would only want to work Quicktate during very slow times with your phone job. If you get a call in the middle of a voicefile, you will have to close Quicktate and take your call.

    When I first started working at home I had an early morning call center job. These little task sites that may not be worth much on their own can sure make the time go by and add a little extra to your pocketbook.

      Yes, I had a lot of downtime when I worked the phones. LiveOps is good for that ;). The only way I could make my time worth it was to be sure to do what I could between calls.

      I remember when I was writing between calls (for textbroker) I probably made the most money.

    These are great suggestions! I highly recommend Postloop as well. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and actually do enjoy the work.
