📱 Best Platforms
Fiverr (IVR and phone greeting gigs with steady buyer flow from small businesses), Upwork (search 'phone system recording' or 'IVR voice' for jobs), local business cold outreach (dentists, salons, and law offices need hold messages and auto-attendant recordings).
📖 The Hustle
Every business phone system needs recorded greetings — 'Thank you for calling. Press 1 for sales, press 2 for support.' You record short, clear, professional phone prompts and hold messages. Most gigs are $15-40 for a full set of phone tree recordings that take under an hour to record and edit. A single dental office might need 10 different prompts for their system.
🚀 First Step
Write and record a 5-message phone tree for a fictional dental office (greeting, directions, hours, hold message, voicemail prompt) as your demo.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Record standing up — it opens your diaphragm and gives your voice more energy and clarity than sitting down.
- Offer a flat-rate package: $25 for up to 10 phone prompts including 1 round of revisions — simple pricing closes deals fast.
- Warm up your voice for 5 minutes before recording (humming, tongue twisters) — it makes a noticeable difference in professionalism.
