Phone Sex Jobs

Sex texting jobs are another alternative for PSO’s working from home and for those seeking phone sex jobs.

So what exactly is sex texting?

Basically, you type from your home computer to customers who are receiving your messages on their cell phones. Most of the large sex text companies seem to be based in the UK, as are the customers.

You get paid (usually) per message. The faster you type and the faster you think, the better you’ll do. Still, even the best texters probably earn less than ten dollars per hour.

The pay that sex texters earn is nowhere near what a skilled phone sex op can make with a trolling company or as an independent but probably is very comparable to what an entry level dispatch PSO makes with one of the big “phone sex factory” type companies.

For women with young children, it works as a second gig (or as an alternative to phone sex jobs) for when the kids are home and they can’t do calls. It also attracts men who want to work from home and others who just aren’t comfortable doing phone sex for whatever reason.

There’s an interview here with a guy who worked as a sex texter in the UK. The article contains some pretty good info about the ins and outs of paid sex texting work.

If you’re seriously considering sex texting work, I’d strongly suggest signing up at the Textilicious sex texting forums. There you will find a list of sex texting companies who employ home workers, service reviews and you’ll be able to ask questions and get answers from current and former sex text workers. Textilicious also offers loads of info on PSO jobs, cam work and other work at home jobs and is a nice place to network or relax between calls.

In addition to phone sex from home, there are opportunities to do webcam from home as well. There are a number of well-established cam sites you can sign up for and become an independent performer, similar to the setup on Niteflirt and Talksugar. On most of these sites, phone sex is not required or may not even be offered, so you’d be communicating exclusively in text chat with the customer.

Here is a partial list of webcam sites to check out, if you think you might be interested in becoming a webcam performer online:

http://www.camcontacts.com

If you’re seriously considering cam work, I strongly suggest going over to the forum at http://adult-webcam-faq.com and to http://www.camgirlsociety.com and comparing notes with working chat hosts. I’ll be adding these links to the sidebar as well.

None of the cam sites that I am aware of pay more than 50% of the per minute rate that the customer is paying you and some pay as low as 30%. Bringing in your own customers or meeting the criteria for bonuses and performance incentives can increase your take, but keep in mind, these are the base percentages you’ll be offered. You may also be required to be in a free chat room where you offer “come ons” and try to upsell the customer into going “private” where you’ll then be paid for your time.

Ifriends and some of the other sites have friendly-chat areas where you can offer a non-sexually-explicit type session. The overwhelming amount of traffic and the faster money will be found in the sexually explicit areas of these sites.

I’m aware of Niteflirt and TalkSugar, are there any other reccomendations for websites that you work from out of your house? I used both a while back and remember that Niteflirt was sending way more calls than TalkSugar…..what do you all think? Thanks.

In my last post, I referred you, my dear readers, to the existing PSO message boards & communities to do your research before applying for phone sex jobs. In this post, I am going to issue a few “warnings” or maybe a better word would be – “disclaimers”.

* Don’t reject a company out of hand based on one person’s opinion. Get all the input you can, and consider reviews from many sources. If you hear the same kinds of complaints about a company over and over in more than one place, well then, you can conclude that you are hearing the truth.

* Make sure you get some input from people who actually have worked for these companies. Second-hand info is not always bad – news travels fast about bad companies and many of us feel we have a duty to warn – but you should also try to get info from current contractors for a company *and* from former contractors who aren’t currently employed by the company.

* Google is your friend. Sometimes info about a company can show up in unexpected places on the Internet. It pays to do a few quick searches on the company name, phone number, web address etc.

* Go with your gut. Pay attention to how you are feeling about the people who represent the company when you contact them. How they treat you during the application process can give you important clues about how they will treat you once you are working for them. If you don’t feel good about the process, don’t sign on. Keep looking.

I’m pleased to announce that the owner of what was once one of the best resources for PSO’s and phone sex job seekers has decided to “jumpstart” the activity in her group and the group is now open for new members once again. The PSO Chat and Support E-group has always been a place where a job seeker or a working phone sex performer can get honest answers about companies & employment practices as well as help & support from other PSO’s. The group has a wealth of helpful links and information, a database of “Service Reviews” where PSO’s share positive & negative experiences working for companies and a risk list to help services avoid bad & deadbeat callers. You can apply to join the group here.
