Canada has long been a progressive country.  PremiumTalk allows free calling to all areas of Canada, except the Yukon.   That area of Canada is a still a mystery to us!  Anyway, we have been a rush of Canadian individuals and companies signing up for PremiumTalk.  Part of it may be a new government initiative to encourage home based workers.  Here is a recent article.

A weeklong study of 170 team members at Telus who telework showed 14,000 hours of commuting saved, $125,000 savings for fuel and maintenance of vehicles, and 114 tonnes of emissions saved.

Ald. Diane Colley-Urquhart, the city’s deputy mayor, said the initiative will change the way Calgarians work, where they work and how they work.

“By reducing traffic and infrastructure pressures, pollution levels and our overall environmental footprint, Calgarians and their employers will be able to improve their productivity and consequently their bottom line while making more time to enjoy our city’s one-of-a-kind lifestyle,” she said.

The initiative says benefits for the employer include increased employee productivity, decreased operating expenditures, increased competitiveness, a boost in corporate image as an environmental steward and diminished business disruption during an emergency.

The benefits for an employee include enhanced productivity both at work and at home, money savings for gas, vehicles, parking, dry cleaning and other expenses, more free time, improved health and well-being, and reduced stress.

PremiumTalk works with businesses or freelance experts who wish to provide services online or via the telephone.  This new business, offering services for a fee, is just starting to take off and poised to explode in the next few years.

In order to be a successful at any business you must be prepared to put in the effort and PremiumTalk is no different.  To begin you must offer a service that people are willing to pay for. This could be tutoring, translation services, tech support, relationship advice, psychic readings, dating tips, entertainment, etc. What is your skill, when are you available to take calls, and how much do you want to charge?  

You will then need to promote your business and advertise your services.  This is really where the rubber meets the road.  Sites like Sell your Brain offer catchy phrases to help attract attention.  You will need commitment, desire, and hard work.  However, one thing you will NOT need to get started with PremiumTalk is money. All new businesses can begin with PremiumTalk free.  In addition we are also currently providing free telephone calls for all your sessions.  

PremiumTalk also allows you to add additional users onto your account.  Create a virtual call center and have your staff take all the calls.  All the revenue goes into your PayPal or merchant account allowing you to pay your staff how you wish.  If you have a dream of becoming the next LivePerson or Keen we want to talk with you.

There is a global market out there that is potentially worth billions of dollars. While other markets may be dwindling the online services market is just starting to take off and looks to be the next boom.

Not everyone is cut out to be a business owner.  At PremiumTalk we strive to recruit people who are serious in this pursuit. With so many ‘Work From Home’ scams out there we think it’s important to offer something of real value but also be completely honest in what we are offering.  This is not a get rich quick scheme and you will have to invest your time to make it work.  However, if you have the drive you can succeed.
