How to become a phone sex operator and earn money

If you’re a sex worker and looking for extra income, then phone sex work is a viable option.

Since lockdown, the impact on industries, which has disproportionately affected sex workers, has seen many get into phone sex in a bid to earn extra cash.

Whether you’re interested in phone sex jobs or you’re an independent sex worker and want to expand your business, here’s a guide on how to get started successfully.

What is a phone sex operator?

A phone sex operator is a type of sex worker who provides erotic telephone conversations in exchange for money.

During a phone sex service, they typically entertain and sexually stimulate clients by assisting them in exploring their fantasies to help them achieve sexual gratification

 

How much do phone sex operators make?

There is no set amount of money to how much a sex operator can earn – it varies. 

If you’re new to the industry, it’s likely you will not be raking in as much money as a seasoned phone sex worker who has both experience and a loyal client base.

Not only that, but it will also depend on how dedicated you are, the amount of effort you put in, and how skilled you become.

For some sex workers, the business can be extremely lucrative. For instance, according to Business Insider, a phone sex worker claimed to make $258,000 in one year during the pandemic.

How to become a phone sex operator

There a two ways to become a phone sex operator: You can join a phone sex hotline company or call centre or even start your own phone sex business. 

Get a phone sex job

In the UK, there are several phone sex jobs and hotline companies you can join to provide phone sex services. 

If you want to know how to work for a phone sex hotline, simply research phone sex jobs and companies and read about their services and offers.

It’s vital to choose the right job or call centre that suits your needs and expertise.

You can then either register yourself on your chosen site or contact the company for more information if you’re interested.

Note: Make sure you carry out sufficient research on companies that provide phone sex services to make sure they are reputable, and most importantly, legit.

How to set up a phone sex business

If you want to be an independent phone sex operator, there are things you should consider to get set up successfully. Here’s how to become a phone sex operator from home:

Create a stage name

All sex line operators are encouraged to create a stage name to protect their identity.

It’s also important to make yourself sound sexually appealing and entice your clients’ imagination, as they will not be able to see you during your telephone conversation.

When creating a name, you can think about what clients want from you, words that relate to this line of profession and make a list of sexual-related adjectives.

Here are some examples: ‘Lady Love’, ‘Honey Lips’, ‘Sugar Babe’, ‘Dirty Mistress’.

If you’re already a sex worker, you can use the same name as you do in your profiles.

Phone sex work equipment

It goes without saying that you will need to invest in your own telephone for your hotline calls. 

This will have to be separate from your personal line so you can respond appropriately when clients call, and most importantly, for your privacy and safety (more information below).

It might be worth looking into companies that provide a pay-per-call service, such as Pay Per Call, to ensure your phone calls are turned into revenue.

Below are some other things you may need for your phone sex business.

  • Sex toys – Investing in sex toys can help your clients’ imagination when exploring their fantasies. For example, the sound of a vibrator or handcuffs rattling may turn them on
  • Notebook – This is a good idea to take notes about your clients, including their likes, dislikes, and personal information. You can refer back to this to provide a more tailored service for loyal clients and even use ideas for other clients

A suitable workspace

Like any other entrepreneur, you need a suitable place to work. 

Many phone sex operators work from the comfort of their own home, but you need to ensure it’s business-friendly. 

Whether you have a home office or your own bedroom, an environment that is quiet and free from disturbances is ideal for providing phone sex services.

Advertise your services

Once you’ve got your equipment and workspace set up, you need to start advertising your phone sex services to attract clients. You could consider:

  • Advertising on social media – Whether it be Twitter or Facebook, promote your phone sex services on social media. If you’re a newbie, then it’s recommended to create a separate social media account for your phone sex business
  • Promoting it on your website – If you already have a website for your sex work business, don’t forget to add your phone sex service to your profile to update your clients. Newbies can create a website too once your clientele begins to grow
  • Advertise on an adult site – There are many adult sites in the UK, like Vivastreet, that allows independent sex workers to advertise their phone sex services. This eliminates the stress of starting up from scratch and can help you potentially attract more clients sooner

How to be a good phone sex operator

In a bid to attract new clients and keep your current clients returning for more, here are a few essential phone sex tips to help you become a successful phone sex operator. These include: 

Develop a strong rapport

When on a call with your client, you don’t have to jump into dirty talk right away.

It’s good to build a connection beforehand to break the ice and make your business seem more professional and trustworthy and is a way to earn respect.

Not only will they feel more comfortable with your service, but it will help build both of your confidence for an epic session, potentially converting them into loyal clients.

Consider your tone of voice

Many phone sex workers like to change their voice to create a sexier persona. This can help you really feel a part of the role you’re playing while arousing your clients. 

Aim for a sexy voice overall, keeping it interesting but not overly loud. Make sure you clear your throat, remember to pause, slow down your tempo, and speak from the diaphragm. 

Better still, think of yourself as an actress each time you talk to your clients this way.

 

 

Sound confident throughout your call

Confidence is a huge turn-on and makes the conversation flow so much easier during a phone sex service. 

Even if you don’t always feel it, act confident throughout your sessions. This means taking control of the call, eliminating any weaknesses a client might identify. 

Some phone sex workers like to have a few prompts in front of them to help them get started, but you should still be prepared to divert from this with ease. 

With time and great practice, such confidence will be instant.

Eliminate any background noise

For a professional phone sex service, your environment needs to be free of distractions and involve private time with just you and your client

No one wants to engage in a sexually driven chat only to hear things such as the TV, washing machine, toilet, kids, or pets in the background. 

This can be off-putting, as it makes it hard for your client to enjoy and fully immerse themselves in the phone sex experience.

Make sure you work in a quiet room away from any other members of your home or working environment.

 

Make your client your only priority

If a client has spent their money to talk to you, they expect your undivided attention

Unfortunately, the age-old vision of a phone sex worker is of one doing several chores while pretending to make all the right noises on the phone. 

Most phone clients, however, are very perceptive, so we wouldn’t advise testing this to see if you can get away with it.

Remember, if they believe you’re multitasking or not getting the full experience, they can simply hang up or not book with you again – impacting your potential earnings. 

This is even more important for those repeat callers, as this is where you’ll make the most money.

Keep the client engaged

It takes two to have a sexy conversation. 

But the longer you keep your client on the phone, the more money you’ll make.

It’s vital to keep the conversation going for as long as possible while keeping your client talking or engaged. This means you will need more than just a nice voice and a good moan. 

For example, spice up the session by asking erotic questions, taking on fantasy characters, being bold and vocal on sexual topics, and exploring your imagination. 

Always remember that this is your client’s experience, so let them take some control if they want to. 

Be adaptable to different personalities

Every client you get will be unique in their own way. 

Some will be humorous, easy-going, inexpressive and even hard to please.

A good phone sex operator will understand that this is not a one-size-fits-all service and know how to adapt to different personalities. 

For example, there may be sessions where you might need to laugh or talk more or be overtly sexual.

 

Be open-minded to taboo activities

You may come across clients with unfamiliar requests, but being open-minded will make your phone sex services more desirable and help you achieve loyal clients.

Clients are looking for phone sex operators that are non-judgemental and flexible, and willing to help them live out their erotic fantasies.

Phone sex is just an act, so you shouldn’t worry too much about feeling embarrassed. 

However, if you are asked to do something you do not feel comfortable with, do not force yourself. 

Either come up with a way to segue the conversation or just politely decline and let them know you don’t offer that type of service. 

Gather useful notes from the phone sex session

If you do find yourself with repeat callers, it’s a great idea to compile records on them. 

This can mean making a list of as many personal details about them as possible, so you can provide them with a more tailored service in the future. 

Even for those new clients, adding a personal touch is guaranteed to make you appeal to them more. 

Their name, job titles, and specific preferences, such as fetishes or specific phrases or noises that turn them on, are all good notes to keep and refer back to.

Know your strengths and weakness

As a phone sex operator, you need to assess your phone sex skills if you desire to get better at it. 

Many clients will want to play out intimate scenarios and tap into their fetishes, which you may not be familiar with.

Make a record of the things that make you feel nervous or you struggle with and work on improving them.

There is also some sexual lingo and pre-existing knowledge you should have beforehand to facilitate existing kinks and fetishes. 

If you’re a sex worker and have no experience in phone sex, this might not come easily to you, so make sure you do research and familiarise yourself with this as well as verbal foreplay.

Stay fresh and creative

Finally, if you do find yourself establishing loyal customers with your phone sex work, try to keep your services fresh and relevant. 

This can mean working on your creativity, such as adding in some new lines and techniques like humour while accommodating your repeat caller’s needs as much as possible.  

As previously mentioned, the current climate means many sex workers are now offering digital services to continue or enhance their business. 

With a consistent client base, alongside growing clientele, there are no limits to how much money you can earn through phone sex work.

 

Take a phone sex operator course

If you want professional training in phone sex, then consider taking a course

You can build up your experience as well as your confidence in preparation for your phone sex business.

Expect to learn things like finding your sexy voice, learning sexual vocabulary, and breathing and pacing techniques.

Phone sex operator safety tips

Just like all types of sex work, there are precautions you must take for your safety and to protect your privacy when providing phone sex services. You should:

  • Never use your real name to protect your identity
  • Never disclose your real phone number (always have a separate phone number for your phone sex business)
  • Never reveal your location or address
  • Never say that you’re younger than 18 (even if it’s the client’s fantasy)
  • Never encourage or allow violent language
