How Much Does LiveWorld Pay?
Based on Glassdoor salary reviews, hourly moderators are making $8 to $9 per hour. One review states they pay minimum wage for your state. Add on $1 for the bilingual position. Training is paid.
LiveWorld Schedule
The company states you need to be available to work for several hours at a time. But according to a review, you will work in 30-minute intervals. The schedule is very flexible. The max hours they allow per week is 29.5, and you can work split shifts for even more flexibility. You will state your availability when you apply, and you can change that as needed.
LiveWorld Feedback
The glassdoor reviews for LiveWorld are all pretty consistent. The flexibility to work from home is great. They have supportive management.
Some say it is hard to keep up with technical changes, and the pay is low. Also, there is no room to advance in your career with LiveWorld. Contracts don’t last forever, and you can find your hours cut with little to no notice.
Other cons:
- limited hours
- no overtime
- no benefits
Based on reviews, there are several agents who have been in a customer support role for 10+ years. I also see that they hire for seasonal positions. A former employee said that overtime IS offered during peak holiday seasons when they are busier.
Is Working at LiveWorld a Scam?
Based on my research, LiveWorld is NOT a scam. If you are looking for a part-time gig and love social media, this might be a good fit, especially if you are fluent in English plus one of the languages they are currently hiring for! If you meet the qualifications, here’s the link to start the US application. If you’re outside the US, use this application.
