Can anyone tell me?

Options
My wife has just started doing a bit of work from home. basically she is making some telephone calls.

She has only been doing it a week but has just got her first pay from it.

Basically they sent her a list of business phone numbers and she called them up asking if they would like a free info pack sent out.

She is only getting commission but I suppose its the same with most work from home jobs but she does say its easy to get companys to say yes to the info pack plus they pay on a weekly basis and there is no outlay at all.

How can I let people on here know about it?

    By saying about it and giving a link, non-affiliate, to the site. Obviously if you give an affiliate link or suggest that you are an introducer of any sort then people will say you are spamming and are likely to have the post deleted etc

    Why would you want other people to do it? :rotfl: Get your wife to keep it to herself and make all the dosh! :T

    I'm only messing really but that is definitely the sort of post people normally reply with ;)

    I would say that you could put in your post that she is working from home and if people want to know more then perhaps they could private message you? Be sure to check the rules first mind.

    Presumably because she also gets paid for introducing other people ... sounding very pyramid to me.

    What about your phone calls?
  • It almost sounds too good to be true.

    Ok I was wrong when I sai there was no outlay. She has the expense of her calls but as we already had free landline calls with our house phone then all her calls are covered by this.

    From what she has said it is a new business looking to expand quickly.

    Probably a breach of your landline providers T&Cs relating to business use.

    Beats business rates.

    Hmmm this wouldn't happen to be the business you were talking about your partner setting up would it?

    ... and don't forget you will need to declare your wife's new earnings as it will affect your benefit claim ...
