Promising regular money to people who work at home, using only their phones, seems too good to be true? You can find real opportunities to make money if you do your research and be careful. This is especially true for phone sex operator jobs.
What is phone sex?
The phone sex operator engages in a variety of types of conversations, and some specialize in one or more types.
Different Phone Sex Fantasies
Customers often request fantasies that the operator plays out via the phone, acting out a part to fulfill the desire of the customer who’s paying by the minute.
Different Phone Sex Fetishes
Some customers have specific fetishes they like to play out; many phone sex operators focus on BDSM fantasies, with customers looking for a submissive or dominant woman to play out their fantasies.
Creating a connection over the phone
Other phone sex operators can earn great money forming a connection with their customer, and they can generate regular income with return customers. Regardless of which specialty niche a new operator can fill, they will quickly find that this industry is not an easy one.
Watch out for the scams
This is a competitive business; there are many women and men who are looking to make money at home so making money is not quick and easy. Also, there are many scams who prey on people who are new to the business so it’s essential to choose the right company to work with.
What’s required to get started?
Use a separate line for phone sex
It is highly recommended that you use a separate line for this business, as for privacy it’s important that you draw a line between your job and the rest of your life. Beyond the equipment you’ll need to start a phone sex operator job, you also will need to bring a few things of yourself to the table.
Good talking skills
You will need to be a good talker, natural and easy to talk to. You should have a good imagination, as many of the customers will either be reluctant to begin or might be shy. You should also be fairly well-versed in sex and sexual terms because you need to be able to understand what your customers are asking you to do.
Get into the character
You need to understand the role you intend to play, and that’s how you have to view this job to be successful. You should define a character for yourself, just like you’re playing a character in a movie, and learn things about your character.
Create alter ego
Give your character a name, you should never use your own name. You should know the sexuality of your character or your customers won’t believe you.
Get into their minds
If you are going to portray someone who is dominant and enjoys punishing men, you need to know how to talk like a woman who does. Either find parts of your own personality to draw from, or do your research.
Phone Sex Operator Companies to Work for
To avoid being exploited by one of these fake or misleading companies, there are a few things to watch for.
Don’t pay Upfront for anything
First, you should never have to pay any money upfront for a phone sex operator job. This is a job, so they should pay you. You should not have to pay a monthly fee to work for them.
Watch out for unrealistic promises
Also, be wary of any company that promises you a specific amount of money per hour. This is a likely sign that the company is misleading because as an inexperienced PSO your work will be quite infrequent; a majority of your time will be spent waiting for a call.
No company should be promising you any amount of money, because there are no promises for this kind of work.
There are a few companies, however, that will maximize your chances to make a good amount of money:
Niteflirt.com
Niteflirt is a website that has sections for women, men, or even transgender operators. You need to fill out your profile and decide when you will be marked as online.
If customers find your profile, they might be compelled to send you a quick message. You are paid a small amount of money when customers chat with you, so you can earn money while you are trying to get them to spend money calling you on the phone, or even via video chat.
This site has a lot of customers, but don’t expect the messages to start pouring in immediately. You need to stand out from the other profiles, offer something unique or clever, or just have a great personality that shines through.
Even the most beautiful and charming people will need help in getting started, so you’re encouraged to use various forms of social media to drive customers to your profile, because they are far more likely to spend money talking to you than someone who stumbles upon your profile.
Talktome.com
Talk to me is another website that has sections for women, men, and shemales for customers to interact with. The phone sex operators on this site can be paid for chatting, sexting, phone sex, video chat, or live webcam performances.
The operator has some discretion in setting their prices for each service, and the site has a maximum of $2.99/minute that the operators can charge for phone sex. Many of the operators have a live public webcam show running that potential customers can watch for free.
The operator can interact with the viewers and talk about what they will do in a private show, to entice the customers to spend money.
They can also begin interacting with customers who might want to spend money on a private chat or sexting. Each type of service has a fixed amount the operator earns; generally 50% of what the customer pays.
Like other sites, this site has tips for how to market your profile on other sites to better draw customers who will pay for your company.
Sincats.com
Sincats is a website that offers a slightly different experience, and bills itself as offering more independence and freedom to operators.
They allow the operator to set their own price for their service, and don’t impose restrictions. They even offer packages that allow operators to sell blocks of time for a flat-rate, rather than per-minute only.
Another special feature of this site is the sexy stories section; where some operators record themselves telling sexy stories. Customers can preview the story, and if they want to continue they can pay a fee to hear the entire story.
This is an excellent way to earn money while you are not even awake, as customers can hear your voice around the clock. While this site does not have as much traffic as the others, they offer a good percentage of the money you generate and have a superior customer service department.
Sincats also offers daily payments, not forcing you to wait like other sites.
How much can you make?
With customers paying several dollars per minute to talk to you, certainly that works out to over a hundred dollars an hour, right? Well, not quite.
A recent class-action lawsuit filed against a large PSO company showed that while their customers were paying $5 a minute to talk to their operators, the women were paid less than $5 per hour, far less than minimum wage even.
This shows that not everyone working in this industry is getting wealthy, but with the more honest sites available you can earn decent money. If you are earning $2 per minute of talking time, then you only need to be talking for 10 minutes per hour and you are earning $20 per hour. If you are talking for 30 minutes per hour, that’s $60 per hour.
This is the promise of the phone sex industry, but the reality is much of your time will be spent finding customers willing to pay you for phone sex. Some women are content to simply have a live webcam running, and interact with the men who happen to drop in.
To really generate good traffic, though, you need to be wiser about how you market yourself. You need to have several avenues of social media and web traffic advertising yourself and offering links to anyone who takes an interest in talking to you.
Phone Sex operator salary
This kind of money is available for women who are fairly attractive and understand how to entice men to spend money. If you don’t have a good strategy for marketing, though, you’ll quickly become frustrated and quit before you make any money.
Tips for becoming a good phone sex operator
Offer something different
To have success as a phone sex operator, you need to offer something unique that many customers are looking for. You need to use your natural strengths and qualities to craft a believable character for yourself and play your character well.
Create realistic character
You should be realistic about your character and fit it to yourself; if you are 40 years old don’t try to play a college student. Don’t be a character who is too far out of your comfort zone, if you are naturally demure then play a submissive character.
Create catchy images
Once you have your character and outline, some good pictures are essential. Don’t use camera selfies, find a good friend who knows how to take pictures and take great ones.
Take them in several outfits, scenes, and poses. Most of the webistes request that you refrain from fully-nude pictures in the public area of your site, so be sure to keep yourself covered for these pictures.
Many of these sites will also allow you to sell nude pictures, or maintain a private profile for fee-paying customers so having some nude photos will help also. Crafting a great profile is a key step that many operators skip, which can hurt them. Once you have a wonderful profile, that isn’t the end.
Learn how to market yourself
While you make yourself available for phone sex, you should also be learning how to market yourself. Try making various profiles on social media, and find customers who want to talk to you.
Generally, finding men online who want to talk to women isn’t that difficult, but you need to learn how to entice them enough to click a link, and eventually get out their credit card because you are so irresistible that they feel they need more. If you are brave enough, you can also do this while you’re sitting on a webcam.
There’s nothing wrong with interacting with other websites while you’re on a webcam waiting for customers; it’s actually fairly smart. So rather than just logging in and waiting for a phone call, you can be using social media to play your character, while sitting in a webcam in a bra and panties.
Set rates properly
Doing this, you are increasing your exposure and also your chances of finding someone who could become a new fan. You should also set your rates lower when starting out, as you are going to need satisfied customers who will write you good reviews, and people paying lower fees generally are more likely to give a good review and consider your service good value.
Once you have established a fanbase and more traffic to your profile, you can consider increasing your rates to make more money.
How to protect your privacy?
As I mentioned before, but it is important to emphasize, you need to draw a very clear line between your online persona and your real life.
Never use your real name
It begins with never using your real name to anyone, not even someone who’s a long-term customer. Anything you reveal can compromise your anonymity, and thus your safety. This goes far beyond your name, however, you should not reveal anything about yourself.
Any real details on what food you like, where you grew up, your favorite sports team can be used to identify you. You might not realize it, but if you give away enough small information about you that might seem non-specific but in combination can be a virtual map for a predator to locate you.
You should also not use any of your normal social media profiles to advertise your phone sex profiles, as that is a link between a profile using your real name and one where you need to avoid anyone knowing your real name.
Create completely new images
Even any pictures from your social media should never be used or shared with anyone associated with the phone sex site because reverse image search can be used to identify you.
Have a separate name, pictures, location, and overall life for your new persona. Be very careful, and you can keep yourself anonymous.
Conclusion
PSO jobs are indeed real, and some people make very good money and can make this job their primary income. This is a very competitive and saturated industry, though, so you should not expect to make quick and easy money.
This is also an industry that is filled with people looking to scam and cheat, so you need to be smart and do your due diligence about who you trust. Your ability to make money as a phone sex operator will depend on your beauty and sex appeal, but more so your ability to develop and market your online persona to potential customers.
If you pick the right company to work with and be smart and diligent about how to market yourself, you can be a successful phone sex operator.
Thanks for reading.
