Types of Phone Sex Companies
Before applying with a phone sex company, it's important to be familiar with the types of companies that are out there. Here is an explanation of four main types of services that employ work at home performers:

1. Dispatch companies - the phone sex company handles all the advertising. A dispatcher gets the clients' payment information and finds out his preferences and routes the calls to you. The pay is usually lower because less is expected of you. You may be required to have a headset, a corded phone and a second phone line just for work, depending on the company. Many dispatch companies expect you to be able to handle just about any kind of character/age group/ethnic background and no conversation is taboo at some companies. Pay ranges from .07 cents per minute up to .70 cents a minute and a select few services pay as much as a dollar a minute for experienced talent. Average pay seems to be from .25 to .55 cents for most dispatch companies. A few of the large companies have a sliding pay scale which can be rather confusing and difficult for new ops to attain the higher pay rungs, so beware of this.

2. Direct call companies - Calls come in directly to you without going thru a dispatcher first. You will be responsible for processing the client's payment or at least for verifying online that he has paid for the call. You need to be prepared to answer calls from callers who just want to ask questions or whose payments are declined, etc. Some companies provide and pay for your 800 number, some companies require you to provide your own 800 service. You may be required to have two phone lines and simultaneous Internet & phone access. Check the phone sex company's requirements before applying. The rate of pay with Direct Call companies is usually higher than it is with dispatch companies.

3. Self-advertising or "trolling" companies This type of company requires you to do your own advertising & promotion to get callers. Some self-advertising companies will require you to be in various chat rooms to chat with potential callers so you may need to have chat programs on your computer and / or a subscription to the AOL service. Other types of advertising such as newsgroups, bulletin board posts, having a website and doing banner exchanges, etc etc could be required or suggested as part of the job. You'll probably need to have an Internet connection that lets you be on the phone & the computer at the same time. You may have to provide your own 800 number service and/or have two phone lines also. Average pay is higher with self-advertising companies since you are required to bring in your own clients, but not everyone is able to do it successfully. The pay per minute ranges from .75 cents to a dollar per minute and above.

4. Combination services - will expect you to bring in some of your own clients through your own efforts but will also have a dispatch system set up where callers are routed to you. Requirements vary, check each phone sex company's requirements before applying.

Another choice is phone sex affiliate programs. When you sign on with an affiliate program, you are an independent operator of your own business. The affiliate program supplies the phone number(s), the call routing and the payment processing for you. Your job is to set up your websites or other marketing programs and do the advertising. Some affiliate programs offer some basic tips and ideas on how to market your phone sex numbers and websites, but putting them to use and getting the calls is your responsibility. With some affiliate programs you have the option of taking calls yourself and making a higher commission, or just marketing the numbers and letting the affiliate company's own operators handle the calls. Keen/Niteflirt could be placed in this category also, although it works a little differently than the other programs. With the difficulty of obtaining a merchant account these days, affiliate programs can be a great way for a one girl service to get started and you also have the benefit of having other performers available to handle your calls and help you earn money when you aren't taking calls.

Your info is helpful but as for #1, NOT ALL DIRECT-CALL COMPANIES ARE 'TROLLING' COMPANIES.

Yea, good point. Maybe we could seperate the Direct-Dial info from the trolling info.

I'll rewrite something and edit that post in a bit.

SUGGESTION FOR WHAT TO DO WITH SILENT CALLERS

by WinterHaven

I call them "Clams"!

When I get a Clam, I hit the alphabet! "Ooh, Honey, I need your Arms around me! I want to lick your B***s! You make me so hot! I want to Claw your back! Ohhh, Do me, over and over! I'm so Excited!..." and just keep zipping through the letters. If you can't think of one (like Z, X. Q!) use his name instead!

When stuck with clams... make CHOWDER!

Heeheeheeheeheehee!

I agree with you, I usually ask the guys about themselves and use openended questions.
