You don't have anything to worry about if you go with 121. They are honest and always paid on time. The info they request is to confirm age and for tax purposes.

For those who work for text121 how long does it take to answer on average 100 texts a day?

I used to do this for a tarot service and the pay was 15p per minute, I notice with 121 its alot less.

I've had a reply now, she said they don't normally take people on who can only do evenings, although it's doable (I said I work 4 days per week so would do it in the evenings and the days when I'm not at work). I'm confused though, I thought lots of people do stuff like this as well as holding down another job? Does anyone else like this work for 121?

Also a stupid question, I know that I would have to sort out paying tax etc - how do you go about this? Is it complicated?

What sort of money could someone reasonably expect to earn doing this part time?

Phone chat is completely random depending on times and days worked. Most i have earned is £100 a week but then i dont do late evenings, nights or early mornings. Thats where the real money is.



Thinking it over...

Just got TEXT 121 application info, the only thing is that if you dont reach the 3,000 per month target you dont get paid.

Put the hours in and you will earn, its getting regulars they are your main bread and butter.Act normal, guys like to talk to normal girls, when you get them eating out of your hand, you can be whatever they want to be. £100 is great, i make £150-200 a week, most i made was £300, a lot of girls make much more.
