I've visited this forum for a couple of months before I decided to apply to Verafast. I applied about two weeks ago, got accepted a few days ago and am slated to start 7/9. I've noticed that there is a mixed concensus about the amount of money that you're able to make. I plan on working the max amount of hours each week and banging out the upsales (paper offers). I'll try to report my earnings and experiences on this board at least once a week. Thanks for all of the info thus far!!

My sister is also to start 7/9. Right now she is in the hospital with a bad skin infection. We are hoping she will be out and ready to go. I just started 2 weeks ago and I like it. Sometimes it's all I can do just to sit here so I started openinga game from Pogo to play in between calls...one that isn't timed of course. It does help move your hours along a little quicker. You will get some rude customers but I just laugh it off. I had one woman who first said "no I don't want it" then started screaming NOOOOO!!! That one was funny. I haven't gotten a paycheck yet so I can't tell you about how the pay goes. My ICC is great! I couldn't work Friday or Sat because my sister is in the hospital and I stayed with her. My ICC was finewith that. They are pretty flexible, they just want you to get alteast 15 hours a week and remember...weekend hours are all you can work. I've got to get some of those hours today. If you have anyquestions along they way, just ask. Oh and I also asked if anyone had yahoo messenger to chat with while working. If you do feel free to send me a PM on here and I'll give ya my yahoo ID. I thought it would be nice in case I stuck on something I could ask. Well....good luckto you!

I just did my first two hours of calling, and I must say - It was easy breezy. I got around 12 "Yes" responses, so I did pretty darn good for a newbie with just two hours of calling. The work is like everything else in America - You get what you put out... plain and simple. I received my fair share of answering machines, but when I did get "live" people on the line, I did what I needed todo to get the credit. Period. I could have gone on for hours, but I was advised that I could only do two hours for the first day. I'll be on until my throat goes dry after Thursday... banging it out. I'll let you know how my first check turns out in a few weeks. Edited by: mspointers

I just did my second day of calls. I was on for two and a half hours and made a little bit less than 50.00. People, don't listen to what others say. If I'd listened to the negativity in these forums, I would have been missing out on some nice money. The way that I look at it, I made almost $25 an hour. I got LOTS of answering machines, but I pushed the sales and didn't really take no for an answer when I did get people on the line. Honestly, it's not hard. The paper is free and once people hear that something is FREE, it's hard for them to say no - especially in this economy. Perserverance = money... all across the world. I'm not sure if the 50.00 (a little less than that, but I don't want to give my identity away by posting the exact amount) that I just earned (for 2 1/2 hours, folks) includes the bonuses, but I'm pretty happy so far. I'll keep you posted. Edited by: mspointers

I hope you aren't counting what the agent stats say for revenue because it is not correct at all. You are paid on credits not according to the agent stats. I got all excitedwhen I saw those agent stats too but found out that is NOT what you actually made. SORRY!

I was not counting/going bythe Agent Stats. They provide us with a chart and that's what I go by. Edited by: mspointers

if it said 50by revenue then, thats 50 credits, and not $50 dollars, thats what I thought too.

I wish, I could show everyone on here who calls me a liar my paystub, which I will gladly do. you will see 175 credits for 16 hours work. Yes you can make money, but you can also paid lousy.

Once again, I went by the appropriate sheet/credits guide. I'm not on here to judge whether or not someone is lying. My sole purpose for being here is to report my personal, individual experience with Verafast. I generally reserve judgement in online forums. I can't call anyone a liar anymore than they can call me one, as individual experiences tend to vary (sometimes greatly). Going forward, I'm not going to respond to any statements made to or against me, as again - I'm only on here to post my earnings/experience (good or bad) with Verafast.

To maybe help clarify my last pay stub. Base Total Credits 434.46
Volume Bonus $21.72 Drop Bonus $4.34 Good Job Bonus $15.21 My paycheck was $132.51 for 15 hours. That is including the bonus. That comes out to about $8.83 an hr. But it does vary dependent upon the night that you have. I also had a check for $140 and one for $115. It all depends on those credits. I too amhere to communicate only and not point fingers. I worked for a Fortune 500 company for 16yrs before retirement. There is good and bad in any organization you work for. Verafast was the first to hire me for a work at home position and for that I am grateful and will dedicate myself to the work as long as I feel it is worth the effort.

wow , lol , is all i can say , , but to speak on some of the calls , i dont ever force anyone to get the paper , i simply stick to my script , as the ICC TELL YOU , and once that person objects your suppose to say THANK YOU GOODBYE , i dont try to force people to get something and make a sale , cause im not in the selling business and this isnt suppose to be sales calls , its CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERING A NEWSPAPER , you use ONE REBUTTAL then you allow that person to go , , , AND FIFTY BUCKS IN THAT BIT OF TIME , maybe 50 credits is how that goes , if you did that then your check should be about 1000 dollars once you get your first one , cant wait to see it posted , and dont get me wrong i m not saying ur in correct , but im saying KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK , IF YOUR MAKING 50 BUCKS AN HOUR TIMES 15 HOURS MIN IS 750 DOLLARS , OR AS U SAY 25 BUCKS PER HOUR TIMES 15 HOURS IS 375 , NOW THATS JUST YOUR BASE PAY , PLUS ALL THE EXTRA HOURS YOU SAY WILL DO , AN EXTRA 25 TO 30 HOURS , DANG YOUR CHECK WILL BE ABOUT A GRAN , YOU GO GIRL !!!!!!!!!!

I received my first check and it was for 357.30. I did around 25 hours of work (maybe a litte less). I slacked off the second week, so I expect that check to be considerably less. As I stated previously, you get what youput out. You could be logged in for 8 hours a day, seven days a week and not make much money if you aren't applying yourself. Conversely, you could put in a few hours a day and make decent money if you simply apply yourself. I wish all of you much success and many blessing in all of your endeavors. Edited by: mspointers
