Have you ever been called to take a survey about a recent experience? Vocalabs is a company that hires people to work at home and conduct those surveys. The proper title is a Vocalabls Survey Administrator.
In this review, I will be sharing what exactly you need to qualify, what the work will entail, and of course payment information. Let’s go ahead and jump into this review of working for Vocalabs.
What Do Vocalabs Survey Administrators Do?
One thing to understand is that you will not be selling anything when you call. Vocalabs has clients that are looking for information about recent experiences with their company. You will simply be calling to ask a few questions and get some feedback.
You will log into the Vocalabs website and see what calls are available for you. Vocalabs will have a form with the questions already laid out for you.
You’ll need to fill out the form with the caller’s responses and submit it to get paid. Based on feedback from current workers almost all calls take under 5 minutes to complete.
Vocalabs Requirements
Vocalabs has a few requirements that will have to be met to get the job. First off they are only hiring people located in the US. You must be fluent in English and be able to conduct surveys with a clear speaking voice.
Other then the personal requirements you’ll need a landline phone with a cord. Meaning no wireless home phones. Along with a wired home phone, you will also need a computer with high-speed internet access.
Vocalabs Application Process
Vocalabs application is a bit different than most jobs I’ve reviewed in the past. Instead of filling out a form or sending over a resume, you’ll visit their website and open a link with a phone number you must call.
On the next page, you will find a script that you must read on the phone. There is a bit of information you have to fill out on the phone like contact information, but the application takes no longer than 10 minutes.
If Vocalabs likes what it hears, they will contact you. They aren’t always hiring, but it seems like they only contact you if they’re interested so you may never hear anything back.
How Much Does Vocalabs Pay?
Vocalabs pays on a per call basis, not hourly. You will be paid $2.50 for every survey call you complete. As I mentioned above, calls usually take about 5 minutes, so it’s a pretty good rate per call.
Vocalabs only pays with PayPal. They pay at the end of every week with no taxes taken out so you’ll be required to report any income over $600 that you make in a given tax year.
Full Time Or Part Time?
Vocalabs is not a full-time job. They do offer a very flexible schedule where you can log on at any time and make calls if they’re available. One thing to keep in mind is Vocalabs does not always have work.
You may log on and only have a few calls to complete, and sometimes you will have none. If you’re going to be working from home, you will need another source of income because there is no guarantee of work.
You can see some other work at home jobs that can be combined to make a full-time income here.
Is Vocalabs Legit?
I did a lot of research on this company, and everything I’ve found is pretty positive from active workers. It seems to be a pretty easy job that can be done part time. One thing to keep in mind is that work isn’t guaranteed. Don’t expect to quit your job and have this replace a full-time income.
I found in this review that Vocalabs is paying their workers and everyone seems to be pretty satisfied. To apply or learn more visit the Vocalabs website.
Like I mentioned this would need to be combined with other work at home jobs. To see a full list of jobs I recommend visit scam free work at home jobs. To see how I work from home and make a full-time income visit my #1 recommendation.

Hi!
Great info here for a way to supplement your income.
I love these types of programs as you can work them when you need to and keep your online studies alive.
I used income like this while I built my own business online and it really helped keep the bills paid.
Do you have any other recommendations you would like to share?

Thanks for reading Shawn,
You’re right that a lot of the WAH jobs really aren’t full time and are pretty flexible. It’s easy to make some money doing this part time while your doing something else to make an income.
Jobs like these are perfect supplemental or extra income, but also offer the option to really work and build an income around it.
If you’d like to see some more of my recommendations, here’s some WAH Jobs and my #1 recommendation.
Hope this helps,

Hmmm, not too sure about this lot! I once worked at a Swedish marketing company when I was studying in Amsterdam and this sounds a lot like that job.
Simply put – people don’t want you to ring them unless they know you or they have asked you to ( in my experience! ).
Tell me, do you feel this is nothing more than glorified ‘cold calling’ or do you think there is more to it?
Great article by the way!!
Chris you bring up a good point and I have to agree that most people don’t want to be bothered. I couldn’t find anything about where they are getting there leads at. But when I hear positive feedback from people working there it makes me think they are not getting screwed over that much on people who don’t want to complete a survey.
But with that being said, I don’t have the information that can confirm that most are high quality leads that have asked to be contacted with the survey.
Hope this helps

Great site Brok! It’s very informative and easy to maneuver. I like the variety of ways of making money you incorporate on your website. I find the variety to be helpful and it gives users options. Thanks for sharing your insights on how to make money online! Good job and keep it up.
Kat thanks for the kind comment!
I do my best to cover a wide variety of jobs, systems, and sites that can earn you money from home and try to give out the best honest review that I can.
Always glad to hear that people appreciate it!
Thanks,

It’s good to hear the most employees of Vocalabs are content with their experiences. I however would not recommend doing any sort of telemarketing or surveying over the phone jobs as a permanent means of income. I once did that for a semester during college and honestly hated it because of the rudeness of people on the other end of the line. I DO think it’s good for everyone to experience at least once so that they can understand and be more polite and cooperative when they do receive such phone calls. But I’m glad that you recommend an alternative source of online income that seems to work better. That’s the way to go.
Hey Sarah I honestly could not agree more with your comment. My past job was dealing with people over the phone and you have to thick skin or you will hate it.
It seems that people you will be calling had to at least unknowling okay being contacted so the rate of people being rude might be lower then just calling to sell stuff, but either way the feedback from workers is pretty good!
Thanks for the comment!

It sounds like Vocalabs may be a good option for someone who just wants to earn a bit of cash on the side. The rate actually does seem like a good amount but I bet it is misleading. I wonder how many people you have to call to actually get a complete survey. I think there will probably be hang ups or people who say they are not interested. I’m just curious, Is this cold calling or do they get actual qualified leads?
Wendy you bring up a very interesting point that isn’t really cover on their website or in any feedback about the job. You must only get paid for a completed survey so I wonder what the rate of people who actually complete a survey is.
From what I understand this is not cold calling and these leads had to at least accept the terms of being contacted, but still there is no way that all of the calls you make will complete the survey.
Thanks for bringing up this point!
