To ask about text chat jobs?!

Does anyone do this? Times are hard and I'm looking for something to do flexibly to earn a little extra money. I'm forever on my phone anyway so I wondered if it's a genuine way to earn? Has anyone got any experience? Is it easy enough? I'm not prudish and I enjoy writing which probably helps!

What are text chat jobs?

fruitsalad44 · 25/11/2022 21:49

Where you are the responder on one of the text chat numbers that are often advertised in newspapers, magazines and so on. Occasionally sexual chat but I think a lot of them are generic chit chat too. Although maybe I'm being naive on that. I don't know much myself hence the post.

Huh? Do people still do 'sex chat' (I assume you mean via a premium number)? I thought sexting was freely available these days. To me it's like someone saying they're going to download a ringtone for a fiver of their favourite song that's been advertised on the back of a magazine. Confused Is this even still a thing?

I was an internet psychic. People think they're messaging famous psychics, and getting a personal reading - and some of the readers touch on some really horrible stuff. The interview process went like this:

"Are you psychic?"

"Yes."

"When can you start?"

It was SMS messaging. It basically involved persuading mostly women that whatever hell they were going through wouldn't last and they needed to create a better life for themselves. And stop wasting their time on people who didn't deserve them.

Definitely still a thing. Just not sure how genuine. A quick Google tells me there are loads of text chat operator jobs but not sure how it works or how much you'd make.

Wow @Ladybyrd how did you apply? How much did you earn? I won't mind doing that during the evenings for a bit of pocket money!

Pyaar · 25/11/2022 21:54

I've done a couple of different ones but the pay is absolutely abysmal so wouldn't recommend. I'd have a look at the £10 a day threads on mumsnet if i were you, there are better ways to make a few quid in my experience. Good luck 😊

Ladybyrd · 25/11/2022 21:57

@play017 You could probably earn about £20 an hour. I responded to an online ad. I did read tarot cards, but it wouldn't have mattered if I didn't. It's all BS.

I should add that I can type very fast. If you could t, you'd be on less than minimum wage, and forget about doing it on a mobile. You need a keyboard.

If you already googled it, why do you think users on Mumsnet would be more handy to talk about jobs involving sex? Unless you are just interested in hearing others talking about jobs involving sex?

fruitsalad44 · 25/11/2022 22:02

@Keyansier hmm because there's never been inaccurate information on Google has there? Sometimes it's better to hear from people who have actually done it and can offer personal experience. They aren't all sex related either. As
Pp said, she was on a psychic one.

If you doubt my motives feel free to get MN to check my posting history instead of the boring skepticism and not to subtle accusations.

Sounds easy. But boring. & too much work for 10p or so per text. You'd have to skim read notes about client before starting to type, think off the top of your head. Takes time.

Maybe the OP has some self-respect and doesn't want to prostitute herself?

When I read your OP, I didn’t think this work was well paid. After reading the replies, I think I reached the right conclusion.

People post videos of themselves having sex on onlyfans for a £5 subscription fee. I doubt the market will pay much for a smutty text message when they could get so much “more” in comparison for a cheap price. 10p a text is probably about right.
