Evidently Wisconsin is not on the list for important business. I cant find anything from here.....phooey!

So what kind of money can you make from doing this? Is it essentially minimum wage from your own house? I have a relative who is looking for work right now and their car is not in the best shape, so something like this might be good.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Satellite connection??
 
Does anybody know if there are companies where they accept satellite connection vs DSL, cable, etc. We're pretty isolated here.

Anyone else doing this through West at home? The training is so vague. I hope it gets easier. I would think taking the first calls will be very stressful if you don't feel trained enough

For the most part, our connection through satellite is about as fast as our cable was. At first it wasn't, but now... <shrug>

Still, it is marketed as a "high speed" connection, so I wonder if it really makes any difference.

Does anyone have experience with a company actually stating that they won't accept satellite connections?

Thanks,

they can't take satellite because of times there is no service--

Do you know of any real work from home "typing" kind of jobs???

I was referred to this thread today... this is interesting! I am going to check into these company's and see what I find out. A work at home job sounds really good!

smwon 02/19/09 12:11 PM

No follow ups on this thread? Those that did apply for the various online jobs like West at home? I'd sure like to hear about how things went, if they liked it, Do you make money at it, etc...

smwon-

I have been doing research on West. From what I understand the least you can make is minimum wage. I believe you get paid per call, but if you don't get any calls they pay you minimum wage.

My concern is the phone line. I am trying to dig up some information on that.

I would also love an update if anyone has any information they would like to share. :bouncy:

You may want to check out 'workplacelikehome' there are a lot of folders on companies like West and plenty of people on the forums to answer any questions you have. Also, 'ratracerebellion' is another good site for work at home jobs.

Thought I would tell you all that I'm doing ok with the West job. I pick up an hour or two here and there during the day. I'm not looking at it as a full time job though I think I could get the hours if I wanted. Yes, you do get min. wage even if your phone doesn't ring! Got a check today for $157 for the last two weeks wasn't bad for no more work than I did!

Thought I would "pop" this up to see if anyone can provide updates to their experiences???

This was a really great thread that seemed to help out several folks.

Are you getting decent tasks or calls? Are the companies treating you as they should etc?
