From Home Job : “As an Outbound Call Center Operator”
By Tere
Outbound call center operators make money by calling people that have requested information and some do cold calling. These positions might be for conducting interviews, setting appointments for the client or calling people that requested information about a certain product or service. Can you make money as an outbound call center operator? Can you choose your own hours? Do you need a dedicated phone line? Who pays for the calls I make?
These are all questions the work at home moms ask when they hear someone talk about working as a telephone operator calling people. Yes, you can make money and you can choose the hours you work for the most part. Many outbound call centers conduct interviews for clients. Some do cold calling to sell a product or service for a client. Some even call and set up appointments for clients to meet with the parties.
- Phone Records Lookups.
Most of the outbound call centers require a dedicated phone line with free long distance. Some will allow you to use a Void phone system through your computer. Skype is a popular phone system, but it all depends on the company you are working for at the time. The hours that you work will depend on the location that the calls are being made to and the subject of the calls.
Is cold calling for you? That answer is one you have to decide on before you even apply for an outbound call operator. If you take a job selling something and work for commission, you have to have a good voice that can sell anything. This is not a job for someone that is intimated or takes no for an answer easily. However, cold-calling jobs that require you to interview people are different. Most people will respond rather well if it is something they are concerned about or want to be heard on.

Moms Can Work at Home as a Transcriptionist
By Tere
Working at home is important to mom’s that want to keep their children out of daycare. This takes some quick thinking if they need to work to help support the family. What can a mom with small children at home do to make money? She can be a transcriptionist. This type of work is available more so than any other work at home job. You can work for an online company or send out cards to local organizations advertising your services.
Some transcribers take a transcription class to learn how to use the different equipment, but this is not always necessary if you are a fast typist with a computer and a Windows Media player. Most companies online are looking for a fast typist with the ability to transcribe interviews, meeting minutes and even notes dictated with the use of a MP3 player such as Windows Media player.
The client usually sends the MP3 files through an Internet server that allows large audio files to be sent. Sendthisfile.com is a popular place that people use to send out files to the transcriber. You as the receiver, downloads the file to your computer and you can work on the file right away or do it when you have time depending on the agreed to completion time.
If you have coding and medical transcription skills, you can apply at local clinics and hospitals. Many doctors seek offsite transcribers because it is cheaper than hiring a full time employ and paying health benefits. Outsourcing has become very popular with the medical profession. If you do not have the medical coding skills, you can take an online certification program and learn everything you need to know.
