Can someone have an answering service working from their home? If so how did they start.?

I need to work from home. I've worked as a call center representative for 19 yrs. I've read about people starting a answering service or some other type phone work from home but no details were given. I'm not talking about multi-level marketing, distributorships, I've tried them and so many other things. I'm not trying to get rich quick. I only need to do telephone work from home. I know this is not the wanted ads or help wanted, I'm only asking for suggestions. Please do not beat up on me. Only positive feedback please. Thanks.

Hi, I work for a discount health benefits company, Ameriplan, that offers home based worker positions.

There are a lot of scams out there, so you can verify just some their credentials from:

*BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

*U.S. Chamber of Commerce

*CVS, Eckerd, Walgreens, Pearle Vision, LensCrafters, Wal-Mart, and 100,000 Doctors, Chiropractors, and Dentists Nationwide

*Recognized and Featured In: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The American Business Review, The Dallas Business Journal, Your Business at Home magazine, U.S. News and World Report, The American Medical Review, etc.

I work part time basically just taking phone calls, answering emails and advertising for the company. With my husband being in the military and I鈥檓 a stay at home mom, it鈥檚 a great additional income for us. I鈥檓 not a salesman and I don鈥檛 do any kind of telemarketing 鈥?that鈥檚 what I love about it. I help people who need health benefits. There is nothing shady or difficult with working for them. You get paid for helping people. They are a great company and have been a true blessing to me and my family. They offer great benefits, 401K and the pay is really good.

This website has all the information about the company, links to verify their credentials as well as info about working from home. http://www.freedomathometeam.com/4042426... I think you鈥檒l be quite impressed.

I was quite skeptical when I first heard of them, but after working for them, they have turned out to be an amazing business. If you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to let me know. Email me at airforcecontractnegotiator@ yahoo .com. I鈥檇 be happy to share anything you would like to know.
Good luck to you in your search!!

I don't know that you would really need to do anything special. I would maybe get some flyers made up, get myself some business cards, and start paging through the yellow pages, maybe post some flyers up, stop by local businesses and drop off your business cards.
