Tory Johnson at the New York Post has an excellent article on emerging work at home opportunities.
Gloria Clark was working in a call center selling tickets to Broadway shows and wanted to do customer service work like that at home. She’s doing that through Willow CSN. Others are working through VIPDesk.com as virtual “concierges”.
In addition to having a pleasant voice and strong customer-service skills, you must have a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, a land line and a quiet place to work – all of which you pay for on your own. For this you can make $8 to $15 an hour, depending on your experience, call volume and accounts. Be prepared to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, although some agents work as many as 60.
Here’s another one I’d never heard of, but makes sense: Virtual Publicists:
Be a virtual publicist: Technology enables the existence of thousands of virtual p.r. firms, all of which need experienced communications and marketing professionals. PerkettPR.com, Bisbeeandco.com, PartnerCentric.com and OrcaCommunications.com are just a few to contact if you’re a seasoned p.r. pro.
Great article Tory.
