Which would get him an hourly wage between $30 (about $6,200 per month) and $60 (about $11,300 per month), depending on the mix of plans people signed up for. Oh, you have to subtract the cost of the calls which are probably negligible – I guess something like $50 or so for a flat rate.
He could hire some poor student who makes some calls and pay minimum wage (about $1,600 per month for all the current calls, there are probably cheaper options, maybe he does that already), that would probably make scaling possible. I would now usually add that he won’t be a millionaire anytime soon but I also wouldn’t have predicted that 752 customers would sign up so I better be quiet.
What I want to know: How can he not sound grumpy or go completely crazy after short phone calls with hundreds of different people. Every. Fucking. Day. That seems like a riddle.
I sent the link to my girlfriend. She is super bubbly and a work-from-home job would be awesome for her college (nursing school) career. I think there are a lot of college kids who would do well at this.
While you'll certainly be able to outsource the calls, when customer service is the service, you need to make sure to get good callers. Hopefully this is doable for low enough wages to make a good profit.

– edit: Ah, scrap that. There are already callers or will be soon: http://www.awesomenessreminders.com/jobs.php
