Chuck’s Note: You can read all our LiveOps related posts here. You can check here if you’re coming to this page because of an outage at the LiveOps site.
I was talking to a friend of mine.
He was telling me what it’s like to be a home based call center representative for LiveOps.com
Basically he loves it.
He was working for a family member in a dental office. The family member (the dentist) retired and suddenly he was unemployed.
He had tried working for other dentists, but it wasn’t quite the same – plus he was logging about an hour’s commute each way.
So he found out about working at home with LiveOps.com.
He had DSL and a computer anyway. His only expense was obtaining a dedicated phone line.
He takes calls from people responding to direct response marketing ads and he’s the operator at the end of the 800 number.
When a call comes in on the dedicated line, the script for that particular call pops up automatically so he can take the call and serve the customer.
As he gains experience, he’ll be able to schedule his hours pretty much how he wants. His goal is to schedule 10 hours daily Monday through Thursday. That sounds like alot, but really he was sitting in traffic for 2 hours and working 8 hours in between (with some extra time for lunch) so it’s about what he was doing anyway.
When you talk to most LiveOps.com reps you hear they’re making on average about $12 – $15.
Here’s how that works.
Basically they are paid for every minute they’re handling calls. If a rep is busy 60 whole minutes per hour, they make a base of $15. Then depending on the orders they take and additional sales they make, they can earn bonuses or commissions depending on the promotion. Since it’s unlikely that you’ll be on the phone the whole 60 minutes per hour, that’s where the $12 to $15 per hour average comes in.
Another work at home mom who works for the firm says she makes about $15,000 per year working part time or 20 hours per week.

Please e-mail me the details on how to get started. I am a stay at home mom of 5. One of my children has passed away at birth, so now I have a huge funeral bill to pay along with house bills. I also have two young boys with ADHD, and it is hard to get a babysitter for them. I checked out other work at home sites, but I heard alot of those sites are scams. So I hate to through my money away when I don’t have much anyway.
So please if you could e-mail about your program that would be awesome.
Thank-You,
Tammy Calkins

Live Ops is a great job. I know many people that work there and love it. I can’t yet because I have way too much background noise going on. Once the kids are bigger, I will absolutely give them a try!

I have been working from home for Liveops since January 2008. I have to say I really enjoy it! I take inbound customer service calls for Direct Response and also do their Proflowers line. I can honestly say that I earn as much as I did when I worked outside my home. The money I save on gas and buying lunches everyday is also a nice little added bonus!

I think this is a great opportunity, but is it necessary to have excellent credit in order to be part of it, since they will do a background check/credit check? is it ok to have a bankruptcy behind you?
Kiesha Hayes on May 30th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Yes, please contact me about becoming a live op I,m looking for a home-based business to earn extra money, and maybe become a full-time stay at home mom.

I have already applied to LiveOps about 2 months ago. I haven’t heard anything from them so far. I really need a job and I think this would fit perfectly for me. I have Telemarketing and WAH experience
Toni Yager on June 2nd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
I was recommended by a prior co-worker to try your company. I filled out an online app yesterday, but am told it can take weeks even months to get a response. I am currently working for a homebase sales agent company and am treated like total dirt! I was on total disability due to a motorcycle ride when a truck hit us head on… I am much better now. The work at home position is definitely what I need to be doing but need a company who appreciates a dedicated, self motivated employee. I’ve heard that company is LiveOps. Is there any way I could possibly get an interview, or speak with someone about employment right away? I am currently #3 most phone hours, #4 most sales, #2 most ups…for the entire company…and my stats have actually dropped from last mo stats. I am soo looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your time.
Kim on June 4th, 2008 at 4:22 am
As a text publisher you will be responsible for posting adverts for advertisers in specific places online. This is a WAH job. telecommute. Job pays 0.30 a post. Compares to chacha.com at 0.20 a post. Great for part-time work at home job.

Gloria Hartford on June 17th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
As we say in sales and customer service-the core skill is listening. Read the posts-I am great-I am the best-HOW DO I APPLY? Over and over. There is a liveops link (that is that differently colored text that is underlined) and WOW-it zooms you to liveops. I warn you ahead of time-just to weed out half of you-criminal/credit background check and extensive testing-this is a legit company with a solid selection process.
Good luck

How do I know if my computer has all the requirements need to become an operator
Mr X on July 14th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Um…Live Ops is not as wonderfull as everyone is making it out to be here! It is an OK oppourtunity. It can be turned into something good through hard work…but you usually spend alot of time waiting for calls than you do taking calls. And when you have a problem with not getting paid for the work you have done you find out how little they really do care for you…you cant even speak with some one about it….a communications company that you can not communicate with…OMG….LMAO…..you will get stone walled and be blamed for the mistakes even after you have proven that your AF made the mistake and then get lied to about your being sent…it has been two months since working for them and I have not seen a dime of what I have earned…they owe me over 500$
andrew on July 25th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I have been looking for work at home for along time. Can you please send me more information.

MR T. on August 1st, 2008 at 5:02 am
My wife applied to live ops and rwecievd an email that she would need to provide $175.00 for a background, credit , and other checks.
Also the email stated that she would work for a top 200 level company directly and not thru liveops?
Has anyone ever seen emails like this?
Chuck on August 1st, 2008 at 6:47 pm
My friend in liveops only paid $40 and he believes this is the price charged today… so there is a cost but he does not believe it is this amount quoted above.

Disgusted with my Fellow Netizens on January 20th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
Are you people so dense. Did you read the article. DID YOU READ THE TITLE! All of you lazy A$$E$ that are asking, “email me…”, “how do you apply”, “I wish I could…”, etc. deserve what you get. For God’s sake the address of the company is in the title of the article. GO TO LIVEOPS.COM.
I can’t believe you are on the internet. There should be a license test or something to allow you to waste my bandwith.
Aaron on March 25th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
I agree, it is easy to apply for Liveops, and so far I have loved it.

People, for crying out loud—–go to liveops.com—-it tells you all about it!!!!!!!
xyz databuster on August 7th, 2009 at 10:20 am
liveops is a farce…. my friend worked for them and had trouble with his pay too. i tried to get on and the i sent $50.00 at that time for all the checks that they run, $50.00 i really could not afford and know i hear they want $175.00??? i don’t think so…. guys get real, don’t waste your time or money. not wirth it.
Anytime on August 29th, 2009 at 10:37 am
I’ve been working with liveops going on three years and I can tell you that it did saved my family. This is 2009 my husband got laid off from work and he joined me and we stay home and work. we have three little kids and we take turn. my husband refuse to work outside of home because he finally experience the freedom and flexiblity to work at home and spend time with family. we decided to work from home until kids are grown and all are in school full time then we can decide if we will like to work outside of home or not. that person saying about sending liveops money is lied. Anytime anyone asking for your money to work for them is a straight up scam. you only pay $30 to liveops to run a background check on you because off course you will be dealing with people personal account info so they have to make sure you are not some kind of criminal. And that $30 you pay is a tax write off—so make sure you keep every receipt.
