Independent Agent Testimonials
The New Freelance Economy
"I have invested the past 5 years in expanding my own business providing services for a number of clients. I have never been more productive, successful, or happy than I have been as an independent contractor. The freedom and flexibility leaves me in full control to work as much or as little as I need in order to achieve my financial goals and still have time for my family. Before I had my own business, I was never able to make ends meet, much less save and plan for the future. I am also better able now to provide for my disabled mother who depends on me to supplement her income. I have worked hard to make a success of my business and, thanks to cloud technology and additional resources that have been made available to me through LiveOps and others, have developed a skill set that will ensure an income for me - something I rely on in these uncertain economic times. We all have a fundamental right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness--this includes being able to pursue our own dreams of entrepreneurship."

"I have been an Independent Contractor for Liveops since January 2007, after losing yet another brick and mortar job due to my disabilities, which I have been battling for over twenty years. Working as an IC has allowed me to schedule my work around my disabilities, because it allows me to work/or not work whenever I feel like it. Before I found Liveops I had been unable to hold a full time job. (I had been a welfare and food stamp recipient-even after obtaining a Bachelors degree, which was very frustrating!!) Thanks to LiveOps, and independent contracting with other companies, I am now able to support myself without Government help."

"I am an Independent Contractor for LiveOps for the past 4 months. My experience working from home is absolutely the best thing that has happened since loosing my job in September of 2008. I could not find employment anywhere, as I live in Michigan where the jobless rate is extremely high. Working for Liveops helps me to give something back to the economy in ways that I only imagined before."

"I am so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to work from home as an Independent Contractor. LiveOps has been such a blessing to me and my family! I am a WAHM of 3 children in elementary school and also assist my 83 y.o. widowed mother who is battling both breast and bladder cancer. No other job would afford me the flexibility I need to care for my loved ones. I am able to schedule my hours around the doctor visits, chemotherapy, school functions, etc. I also suffer from Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and when I did work outside the home, it took such a toll on my body that I was not able to give my all to those that I care for. If our independence is taken away, it would be such a shame! With this position, I am able to earn an income, assist my family and not worry if there is enough to pay the bills!"

I've worked with LiveOps for 9 months. I moved from another state to take care of my brother who has both Muscular Dystrophy and MS and was living with my mom who is 80 yrs old. Needed help to get him in and out and bed, bathe, the whole nine yards. I figured I could find a job with flex hours. Well, a few months after moving I was diagnosed with MS, which has left me with fatigue that does not allow me to work a regular job. LiveOps allows me to work around my fatigue. I can work a hour and then take a two hour break. The flexibility keeps me independent and off disability. Being able to work as an independent contractor is vital to the survival of more people than you know."

"Being an IC with LiveOps has provided my family with a FREEDOM needed in this day and age. I have the FREEDOM to raise my own children. I have the FREEDOM to be here when my children are sick or there is an event going on in their life that they need me for. I have the FREEDOM to make as much or as little money as I want while working the hours I need to. This is not just work - this is a lifestyle for many of us who are doing this with a passion and serious mindset. I am very passionate about what I do. I am very passionate about the ability to raise my own children. I am very passionate about being able to provide for my family in the way I need to. Without LiveOps and my IC status I would be without lots of things. I live in a rural area and commute time would take away so many of my FREEDOMS. I had children so I could teach them and I could raise them, not so I could go to some 9-5 "job" which actually becomes more like at least an 8-6 "job" with commute time I am not compensated for. Then top that off I would have to pay someone else to raise my children. Not okay with me..... Nothing I could ever write in words could possibly express how strongly I feel about what I am doing here both with my IC Status at LiveOps as well as the FREEDOMS I have in raising my family."

"I have been an Independent Contractor with LiveOps since August 2007. My work is fulfilling and rewarding. I can work as much or as little as I choose. I must work from home as my daughter has mental health issues and attends school from home, and being a single mom, I must be at home with her. If my IC status were to change and I lost this job, it would be devastating, to say the least! There are so many people like me out there who simply cannot work outside the home, many many other circumstances beyond our control that prevent us from doing so."

"I started working for LiveOps back in Jan. 2009. This is a great opportunity for me to work from home. I have tried for 5 yrs. or better to find and keep a job due to medical difficulties. With my medical issues I can't stand for long periods of time due to nerve damage in my legs and I can’t sit long due to my degenerative disc disease and Osteo, amongst other neurological problems. This job provides me with the flexibility I need to work around my life and work within my life. Being a part of society and being productive is what makes most of us sit up and take note with great pride to work with Liveops and be an agent with hope and dreams. I can only say, " Thanks to Liveops for my freedom back! " If that don't imply what Liveops has done for so many people, I’m speechless! LiveOps has given the power of freedom to have a job where there is no jobs. I now have new hope for my future and family. Being an independent contractor is so vital to our communities and our economy for those of us trying to make it in this recession, ending our independency would for sure bring more economic struggle to a lot of people."

"As a single person in my late 50s, I am trying to supplement my income to combat increasing costs due to the economic downturn. Because my full time job has erratic hours and days, LiveOps is the best choice for me to earn a second income as a part time job. I have some peace of mind that each month I can pay my bills on time."
