What is Phone Sex anyway?
Phone sex is a form of virtual Sex with 2 or more people engaged in sexual chat or discussion over the telephone. Many couples have at one time or another experienced phone sex. Phone sex can be as simple as a flirty & fun conversation, or a hot and steamy eroticism. Phone sex can also be a commercial transaction between a caller and a phone sex operator.
There is no physical contact with phone sex, which makes it an appealing and safe alternative to face-to-face sexual encounters. Phone sex should not be confused with prostitution where money is exchanged for physical interactions.
If you’re visiting this site, then your interested in phone sex as a business opportunity. All Phone Sex businesses fall into 1 of 3 types: Dispatchers, Direct Dialers, and On-Line sites.
We’ll look at each of these individually.
Phone Sex Dispatcher Business.
Dispatchers hire women to answer the phone and get paid by the minute for talk time. Phone Sex Dispatchers manage the marketing, billing and management of the callers, sending the calls off to a Phone Sex Operator (PSO), who in turn is paid a per-minute rate for the call. The rate is often based on a scale determined either by performance or tenure at the position. Since the dispatchers cover all the costs, the pay is often lower than other Phone Sex Business types.
The upside of working with a dispatcher is that all you need to do is answer calls and talk on the phone. There are no costs expect for the cost of the phone and phone line.
The downside is an often lower pay scale. Plus you have no control over how frequently you will receive calls, or what types of calls will be routed to you. You may go long periods with no calls, or you may recieve calls from callers you’d rather not, or are not equipped, to deal with.
Phone Sex Direct Dialer Business.
In the direct dial model, a company will hire you as an independant contractor. The Direct Dialer will offer services such as payment gateways or toll free numbers, help with marketing, and may direct calls to the PSO. With a Direct Dialer the PSO is often responsible for promoting herself, and handles the billing as well. The Direct Dialer will take a percentage of the PSO’s income.
The upside of working with a Direct Dialer is that you have the freedom to control how much business you can handle. You get to set your own rates, build your customer base with repeat clients, and have unlimited earning potential.
The downside is that you cover the majority of the expenses, and do all of the work.
On-line Business.
On-line sites are a relatively new phenomena in the phone sex business. They are a hybrid between Direct Dialers and Dispatchers. With an on-line site, you gain the benefits of being able to market yourself without all the upfront costs associated with a Direct Dialer. The site manages the billing, does general promotion, provides marketing materials, and facilitates the call process. The PSO is paid a percentage of her per-minute rate, and even has the ability to generate in other ways such as selling photos, or via webcams. On-line businesses really give you the best of both worlds.
The upside is that you have the freedom to control how much business you receive. You get to set your own rates, build your client base, obtain repeat business, and have unlimited earning potential. The site handles most of the expense, and even handles much of the work for you.
The only downside is that you will find yourself in competition with other PSO’s on the site.
Conclusion
For me there really wasn’t much of a choice. The benefits of working with an on-site business, and the simplicity of getting started were a no brainer. I joined TalkToMe.com as a TalkToMe Talker, and started my business in just one afternoon. It’s been a fun and profitable ride ever since.
