You'll be working as an independent contractor, so there are a few startup costs to consider:
Certification courses for the client you choose are FREE! Though some will charge a $20 no show fee if you don't show up to the first day of certification training. *Keep in mind that the certification period is unpaid and can last anywhere from 3 days to a month depending on the client you are servicing. However, some clients will start paying during the certification period if you are taking live training calls.
$30 background check fee, paid directly to Arise.
If you don't have the required equipment to work for Arise, you'll need to invest in this as well. Prices will vary, but you can check out more info about equipment requirements here.
These fees are paid to Arise Virtual Solutions, the client you are working with, or the place you purchase your equipment from, not Dotted Line Solutions.

It's up to you! Each client program will have a different pay rate, so you can decide what works for you. You can even choose multiple clients if you so desire. And then you can also set your own hours, so you could work as few as 15 hours per week or as many as you want to reach your goals. Some folks are making up to $1,500+ biweekly, so it's really what you choose to make it!
Yes, there are a few additional things to note:
For independent contractors, taxes are not taken out of your paycheck. If you make at least $600 for the year, you'll receive a 1099 form at the end of the year to file taxes in your state.
In addition, you will not be eligible for unemployment, overtime, or benefits.
