For A Good Time, Call Jennifer
Two words for anyone who wants to get rich giving phone sex: don’t bother. In theory, you can make up to 40 cents a minute, but to get that you have to do at least 60 calls a week with an average call length of 10 minutes or more. If your calls average six minutes or less, you only make a nickel a minute and risk being fired. (And you’re only paid for when you actually talk, not the time spent waiting for the phone to ring.)
But the deck’s stacked so a high average is hard to get. For example, you have to hang up if you get a call from a minor, but that means a five-second call bringing down your average. There’s no appeals process to say, “Yes, that was a short call but it doesn’t count.”
If, despite the low pay, you still want to work in phone sex, the other main requirements are a land-line phone connected by a wall cord (nothing cellular or cordless, lest a 10-year-old with a ham radio listen in) and a quiet place to work without interruptions.
