Maybe you are tired of the job situation and is looking for a change, not wanting to through the rigors of fighting the traffic in the morning rush hour and the evening rush hour.

Or maybe you are like me, retired, and want something to supplement your meager retirement income.

You may be thinking working online would be ideal for you, well in this post I will be looking at an online company that says it will offer you the opportunity to become your own boss.

I will be looking at one such company “ARISE Home Based Business”

Arise offers a unique virtual technology and support platform that makes it easy for anyone to operate their own micro call center business straight from home. Thousands of people are using the Arise Platform to enjoy a more fulfilling work-life balance while earning steady, solid revenue from the comfort of home. ( this was taken from Arise website)

If you decide to sign up with the arise platform you will be contracted to work for a specific company, performing designated duties in exchange for a pre-determined hourly pay rate. (10-14) before tax.

You will have to put money aside to pay your taxes, as taxes will not be taken out of your paycheck.

But keep in mind the company you work for will be claiming you on their taxes.

A Little About Arise

Arise was started in1994, as a technology company selling a proprietary switch, the Arise Platform was launched in 1997 to enable a network of small enterprises to provide inbound call center resources.

Price Free but a lot of fees are involved, training, certification, and equipment

Arise has an A+ rating with the BBB

Arise has its base in Florida

Just What Exactly Is Arise

Arise is a network of Service Partners – consisting of thousands of virtual call centers, and tens of thousands of their agents. ( from Arise about us info)

Arise is a platform that provides virtual call center technology. Connecting registered call center companies and their agents with companies that need call centers to deal with tasks like customer service, tech support, or sales.

These virtual call center employees may be situated in small groups but most often they are individuals who work from their own homes.

• No workers’ health insurance
• No vacation pay
• Saves on office space

These are just a few of the benefits for clients to use the Arise platform.

Who is the Arise platform for

This platform is for anybody who wants to work from home. When you join Arise, you’re an independent contractor – for the most part – running your own business. You set your working hours, you are in control.

What does the Startup cost?

To start your own virtual call center business it is going to cost you something, remember you are not paying to get a job, you are paying to start your own business which in this case is quite legitimate.

COSTS FOR CALL CENTER COMPANIES USING THE ARISE PLATFORM (copied from Arise website)

While starting a retail business or franchise can cost tens of thousands of dollars, the start-up costs to establish a customer support business are significantly lower when you take advantage of the Arise Platform.  For under $1,000 you can be up and running your home-based customer support business with access to a wide range of client opportunities with prestigious world-class companies.

Here’s a breakdown of the costs:

• Incorporation fee for your new business, this varies depending on your state from $100 – $350, plus there will be yearly recurring costs
• Headset and microphone $35
• Initial client certification course $50 – $250
• High-speed internet approx $60 per month
• Phone line $18 – $35 per month
• Platform fee $39.50 per month – this is for the infrastructure they provide, technical support and scheduling system

You can register as your own call center business or as a worker for an already registered company of Arise.

If you are registering to work with a company that is already registered with the Arise platform, you will be provided with a list of companies that need workers.

However, these companies are not endorsed by Arise the responsibility of checking out these companies before joining.

After finding a company then you will need to choose a client,  whether it is healthcare travel etc

Certification

Once you have found your client, you will then need to be certified. Each client offers a training course with an instructor.

The training provides you with information about the client’s system and program.

The course reflects what you can expect when you are working for the client,  by the end of the course you will be ready to start working for the client.

The course can last from 14 days to 8 weeks and is unpaid. Remember the certification can cost from $50 – $250.
