Hey, I know a lot of us have free time, being at work or at home, I was wondering if anyone has heard of Chacha.com. I just became a “Chacha guide” a few weeks ago which allows me to basically sit at my computer whenever I want and answer questions that people text via phone, while making 20 cents per question.
If anyone else is a guide let me know how you have done with it, and for those of you who are interested go to http://info.chacha.com/Careers/BecomeaGuide/tabid/74/Default.aspx to become one yourself. Feel free to refer me, PM for my email address. I can also help anyone with passing the test!
Because I work in an office where most of my day is spent doing nothing. So now my nothing consists of answering peoples questions and making a little extra money.
I filled out the application and it said that they would review it shortly. How do I know if I got accepted? Are they going to send me an e-mail?
I told them I have a college education because they didn’t ask for age and I don’t want them to think I’m a dropout with the “some highschool” option. They won’t ask for proof, will they?
How do they pay you? I don’t have a credit card. Can they just send me checks?

They should email you shortly. They wont ask for proof.
They give you two options for payment, a monthly check or they send you a debit/atm card and you get paid instantly, as in the second after you answer a question that money is available to you.
As for the simulator test, it can be tricky and they give you alot of material to read, let me know before you get to that and I can give you a briefing and show you the important things to look at.

Oh, they send you the card? I don’t have any cards or anything, but I have a bank account with the money that I made from my old job, which was also an internet job…lol. I was a blogger for a marketing company, but they went bankrupt from paying me so much…lol I have no idea why they went bankrupt, really.
So, do I just tell them my account info or something and they attach that to the debit card?..

This makes me a little sad.
Try working for the government. Perfect career choice if you want to fade into obscurity.
Yeah tell me about it, I’m just doing a summer internship for the gov.[/quote]
Same here. When I started in May I was all enthusiastic and ready to work, but now that I’ve seen the true side of the office I work at (IT department), its disheartening.
On average, how many hours a day do you actually do any work? I’d say 3 out of the 8 hours for me. Not by choice either. I think they do these internships to have you sit in the office all day so that when you graduate you might come work for them (because they were so nice and let you fuck around all day and get paid double that what your poor college friends are making at the local Landscaping company).

They set you up with an account with The First Internet Bank of Indiana. They send you the debit card about two weeks later. It is a completely separate account from any others you may have.

Can I pay for gas with a debit card? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don’t have my license yet, nor do I have any cards.[/quote]
Yes you can, or you can withdraw from an ATM. I average making around 10-12 an hour, which isnt much, but its alot more than you would be making on your down time otherwise.
