Before You Apply

📋

Know the Difference: 1099 vs W2

1099 contractor roles are flexible but you pay your own taxes (~25–30% set aside). W2 roles withhold taxes and often include benefits.

💻

Most Platforms Require Windows

Macs and Chromebooks are often excluded. NexRep and ModSquad are rare exceptions. Verify before applying.

🔌

Wired Internet Is Usually Required

Nearly every platform requires a hardwired ethernet connection. Wi-Fi, satellite, and mobile hotspots are typically rejected.

🔍

Budget for Background Check Fees

Contractor platforms often charge $25–$40 for background checks. W2 employers usually cover this cost themselves.

⏱️

Talk-Time Pay vs Hourly Pay

Contractor platforms often pay per active minute only — not for waiting. Slow call days mean lower real earnings than advertised.
