Just thought I'd share this:
http://www.chacha.com
You can ask them anything! Through texting 242 242 (ChaCha) or calling 1800-2CHACHA and it's a free service.

I've been a guide for almost a week now and love workin for them. It's a real deal job with the W9 form and all. I make $0.15 a text, the top guides make $0.20 a text and there's even voice transcribers that make $0.04 a call that lasts about 30 secs a transaction. So far I'm at about $26 Some of the experienced guides on the guide forum are making $300-$400 a week with week contests.

If you want to try to be a guide please add cmanzi7790@gmail.com as a referral!

People are always asking the weather, how ChaCha works, directions, traffic reports, horoscopes, stock quotes, gas price questions, mpg for a car questions, medical & health even jokes, you name it!

Check it out!

My co-worker first told me about the service and also mentioned that they hire guides. So sure enough I applied, passed their 4 tests and made it to how I am now.

Nice! I'd say about 5-6 hours including the morning when it's slow. At nights though it is very busy.

Yeah of course! That's what I do, I work at home. I might bring my laptop to school and do it in my spare time if I can. But I don't know how it'll be for me yet being my first year in college.

The Captain · 08-05-2008, 04:13 PM

So you reply on your computer and it sends a txt? I don't actually have to text people?

Vypurr · 08-05-2008, 04:15 PM

I will be applying as soon as I get home from work tonight!

Yes, "the infoseeker" sends a text to 242 242 (ChaCha) I receive it, find an answer, and the answer is texted back.

Vypurr · 08-05-2008, 04:35 PM

Is there special software that they make you install or is it web-based? Can you send back funny answers? lol

**TROLL** · 08-05-2008, 04:40 PM

everyones jumping at the chance to make a killing 15 cents at a time? eh, i guess it adds up, maybe.
moving this to networking since thats what it is...

now its a free service, so they either advertise in their texts or calls, or they are saving your number to compile contact lists and selling them for a boatload like most companies.

You will need a broadband connection which most of us nowadays have. A firefox browser then once you start the simulator test you'll get a guide toolbar. And getting a clippings add-on helps to make answers quicker.

Guides have a handbook to go by for answering questions.

Yeah it does add up since most of the questions take less than 3 minutes to answer and at night there is a high volume, so once you answer a question you get another one pop right up after. They just make their money through advertising.

Jeffros Spec V · 08-05-2008, 04:46 PM

I'll scoop up dog **** for cash.

How long does it take them to reply so see if you are a guide?

Chris215 · 08-05-2008, 04:47 PM

lol cool service, I asked what came first, the chicken or the egg?
answer: Science has not yet answered that key question, but I do know the Egg McMuffin came before the Chicken McNugget lol wtf.

Give it about 3 days after your application then you'll get an email to start taking the 4 tests.

Haha, yeah guides can have fun and be a little humorous with answers and may give personal answers too especially if it's inappropriate.

**TROLL** · 08-05-2008, 04:52 PM

haha thats a funny answer.
i could do this while i sit at work but i'll probably just keep on fueling my OCD by refreshing supraforums, nasioc, romraider, and tst over and over and over. or maybe i'll spend another 3 days planning out a fuel system including diagrams.

I remember being a guide like 2 years ago and it sucked. I'm going to see if my account is still active.
