From some one who knows.
I've been working at the top end of the adult chat industry for over 15 years now, it's all I do, and it's how I make ALL of my money, so I know it backwards and as such feel I can give honest & unbiased advice.
I'm NOT going to bad mouth anyone, OR recommend anyone (so DON'T ask!), just give you some hard facts, that will enable YOU to decide on who you should (or shouldn't) work for!
REMEMBER THESE FOUR RULES!
A good chat company will...
1. NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY under ANY circumstances!
2. NEVER ASK YOU TO WORK FOR NO PAYMENT under ANY circumstances!
3. PAY YOU FOR EVERY SINGLE MINUTE (every second in fact!) that you chat on the phone!
4. PAY YOU FOR EVERY SINGLE TEXT that you send, that successfully reaches the client!
...any company that fails in ANY ONE of the above four rules, no matter WHAT the excuse ('no first minute payment', 'training', 'minimum target' etc. etc.) has an agenda of making money not only from their clients... but also from their STAFF! AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS!!!
Why? Well imagine if you went for a job at a Bar, and they told you that you were paid a given sum for each drink you served. Great Huh!?! BUT then they told you that they wouldn't actually pay you for serving your first 200 customers ('training'), they wouldn't pay you for the first drink in every round ('no first minute payment') and they wouldn't pay you AT ALL!!! unless you served at least 2,000 customers within that month ('minimum target').
That means that you could serve one thousand nine hundred & ninety nine customers over a month and get paid... NOTHING!!! You'd think that you were getting ripped off yes??? You'd be CORRECT!!!
OK, now for some basic facts on pay, REALISTIC & FAIR rates earned within the industry are currently as follows...
PROMOTED. (Where you log in & the calls/texts simply arrive)
Adult Phone Chat; 10p - 15p per talk minute (£6 - £9 per talk hour)
Adult Text Chat; 10p - 15p per text (£10 - £15 per 100 texts)
SELF PROMOTED. (Where you find your own clients - also known as 'trolling')
Adult Phone Chat; 30p - 40p per talk minute (£30 - £40 per talk hour)
Adult Text Chat; 15p - 20p per text (£15 - £20 per 100 texts)
REMEMBER all of the above rates are for companies paying you for EVERY minute/second of EVERY call, and EVERY successful text!!! If a company doesn't pay you for the first minute of each call, it can offer MUCH higher (maybe double!) these rates... but you could actually end up earning LESS!
HOW?? Simple really, let's look at two 700 call examples...
10p per Talk Minute (all minutes paid).
100 x 4 minute calls = £40
200 x 2 minute calls = £40
400 x 1 minute calls = £40
TOTAL @ 10p per Min.= £120
20p per Talk Minute (first minute NOT paid)
100 x 4 minute calls = £60
200 x 2 minute calls = £20
400 x 1 minute calls = £0
TOTAL @ 20p per Min.= £80
As you can see, in this example (and short calls are much more common than long ones - so it's pretty accurate) the company that supposedly pays twice as much, ACTUALLY pays MUCH LESS!!!
This applies even more so to texting, where some companies fund themselves by having THOUSANDS of texts answered for FREE thanks to gullible new employees 'training' and 'failing to reach minimum targets' ...BEWARE!!!
There ARE good companies out there, but they are heavily outnumbered by the bad ones, so PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!!
Check out MANY companies, check out Companies House 'webcheck' wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/85...essCompanyInfo for their history (the longer the better), their full details, their Directors, even their accounts! This REALLY is worth doing!
SEARCH the net for them, remember the good ones don't advertise too hard, as they want quality not quantity, and don't often have vacancies anyway as they have happy employee's - and I mean employee's, because the best ones actually employ (PAYE!) their operators.
If you really honestly believe that this work is for you, then you should follow the advice above, and set about finding a good company, because the money IS really out there just waiting for hard workers!
If however you have any doubts as to whether it's right for you - then run a mile!
