If doing acute care you MAY make 100 lines an hour on a good day

.....that is if there are not "favorites" being played in the computer room where they send out the work. If you get some good work, you may get even 150 or 200 lines in an hour. But believe me you will feel like you've been chewed up and spit out - your feet will be swollen, and your back will ache.

So you have to get up and walk to keep from getting bad varicose veins or better yet blood clots.

So, at 7 cents a line at 100 lines an hour = $7/hour
Now remember that is NO BENEFITS.
So from what you think you can do in a year - lop off approximately $10,000 that you need to pay out of your $7/hour wage to pay for any vacation days you take, insurance, expense of equipment (earphones, electricity, internet connection, computer, monitor, etc) - oh yeah, storms that move in and no electricity or when somebody cuts off the phone lines or power lines by accident and you are down for 2-3 days while it is repaired - you don't make any $$ those days.

Even if you make 200 lines an hour - and making $14/hour - you still have to deduct a lot of $$ for what I mentioned above.

So, bare minimum - $7/hour - at 40 hours a week x 52 weeks = $14,560 a year ..........minus $10,000 for overhead.

YIKES
