Ask ChaCha!

Well, I'm sure a good deal of you all know by now about ChaCha, the free text service that offers you great quality answers to any question under the sun every time.

I am now an independent contractor for ChaCha!

This is the kind of opportunity I have been waiting a very long time for -- making money from home (in the nude, if I so choose!) -- and finally, it has found me.

My friend Tara asked ChaCha if they were hiring and when they told her "no," well, she wasn't satisfied. That was about the worst answer ever, considering that ChaCha is still accepting applications for guides! How it works is that you are rewarded points for answering and expediting questions and at the end of each month, those points are then turned into cash. The exact amount that each point is worth varies since we work from a pool of money - the GuideShare payment pool. Currently, I have racked up about 4200 points to make $30ish.

The tricky part is this -- each query processed by a Generalist or Specialist is worth 8 points while queries processed by Expeditors are worth 2 points. It can take a while for them to start adding up, and at just a few cents per transaction, it doesn't seem like much at all. Possibly even more work than it's worth.

The redemption for this is found in how incredibly and ridiculously FUN it is. I am simply amazed at all the things I am learning, how often I'm laughing, and just seeing the wide variety of questions that come in.

If you would like more information about the application process to become a ChaCha Guide, go to ChaCha's home page and click the image on the right. You will find pretty much everything you need to know to get started.

So, I may be on a bit of an extended hiatus of sorts. I might discontinue this blog entirely. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do just yet, but I do know that I still care for each and every one of my followers and the kind, supportive feedback I've received in my short time here on BlogSpot.

If you have any burning questions for ChaCha while you're on the go, just text 242-242 or call 1-800-2-CHACHA for all your Q&A needs.

And remember... ChaCha loves you!
