Hi NickoBorgir,
I can only give abit of advice as to what my current sales guys are doing, and how hard it was for them.
There was no startup fee, they cover their homephone, and as long as they are good enough at what they do, they make plenty back. It all depends on how confident you are at selling, i, myself am not that good at it, but there are plenty of people that are willing to sit on a phone all day calling potential customers.
So what i would say, if you are confident/experienced in sales, then give it a shot. If not, then you need to look for another set of online work.
