Are there real work from home jobs on hello.fan?
Not in the usual sense, and we'd rather say so up front. Most work from home jobs are employment: a company hires you, sets your hours and pays a wage or salary. hello.fan is not an employer and not a job board. Nobody hires you, assigns you shifts or guarantees you an income.
What you get instead is a free creator page where people can pay to talk with you. You decide what you talk about, what each minute costs and when you're available. That's closer to running a small practice from home than to holding a job.
- No application, interview or quota.
- No monthly fee for your page.
- No promise of a set number of calls: what you earn depends on your price and the calls you take.
If a steady paycheck matters most to you right now, a remote employee role is the better fit, and that's a perfectly sensible choice. If you want control over your own time, read on, or see how it all works on hello.fan for creators.
How do you earn money from home by talking with people?
People pay for live conversation when it helps them: a tutor who explains a topic in plain words, a coach who keeps them on track, a musician who fixes their technique, or someone friendly to practice a new language with. If you can do one of those things well, you can earn money from home doing it.
On hello.fan you set separate per-minute prices for video, voice and chat, from 50 to 5,000 credits a minute (100 credits = $1). Video is priced at or above voice, and voice at or above chat. Fans pay per started 15 seconds, only while you're both connected, so no one pays for a minute they didn't use.
You keep 60% of what fans pay, or 70% when your hello.fan page links to a store.fan shop on a paid plan. Callers abroad are welcome too: live translated subtitles cover 30 languages on calls, and chat translates itself. Our get paid to talk guide goes deeper into pricing.
How do you fit calls around family and the rest of your day?
Working from home rarely means a quiet, empty house. Children, deliveries and other work all compete for the same hours. hello.fan is built so you're only reachable when you choose to be.
- Working hours. Set the times you want to take calls, and hello.fan switches you online and offline automatically.
- Alerts for regulars. Fans who heart your page get an alert when you come online, so you don't have to announce every session.
- Bookings. Booked sessions inside your hours are paid up front, and weekly sessions repeat at the same time every week.
- Quiet messages. Outside your hours, fans can send an Icebreaker, a one-line hello for 10 credits, or a Super Hello gift with a private note. Each gets one reply.
Use a laptop in Chrome, Safari or Edge with no download, or the Android app, which rings like a phone call. The iOS app is on its way; on an iPhone, hello.fan works in Safari today, no app needed. For running it next to a day job, see our side hustle guide.
Is it safe, and how does the money reach you?
If you're working out how to make money from home, two questions are worth asking before anything else: is it safe, and how does the money actually reach you?
On safety, hello.fan is 18+ only, with no adult content, ever. Nothing is recorded, your phone number stays private, and you can block and report in every call. Creators can get a Verified badge after an ID check, which helps callers trust that you are who you say you are.
On money, fans pay with credits they've already bought, so you never chase invoices. Each earning is ready 14 days after it is made, and payouts go to your bank through Stripe once your ready balance reaches $100, after a quick ID check.
If you also have something to sell, such as a guide, a course or coaching sessions, store.fan gives you a free link-in-bio shop, and linking it on a paid plan lifts your hello.fan share to 70%. Ready to try? Open your free creator page.
