I'm really liking it !!! I tried it before and it was slow - but it's really hopping now. Work when you want - no more breaking out in a cold sweat when the kids make a noise - it's great !!! You can sit and earn what you want - click a button and it pops right into your bank account. Support is pretty good - and it's really fun. Occasionally you get a 'piggish' question - but you can easily 'report abuse' if you want. Most of the questions are fun - and you actually learn stuff. I love the flexibility. Anyway - I can use referrals - if anyone wants to apply just click the link:

http://search.chacha.com/guidesignupnow

and put my email in the referral section: conniekangas@verizon.net

Email me or PM me with any questions about the testing or anything and I'll try to help. They have a great forum also where you can post questions.

The first week I started - I just fooled around with it here and there and made $70. It's actually kind of addicting. I'm trying to put more hours in this week to see how well I can do - and the searches are non-stop.

I work for ChaCha too and I am enjoying it. I just hope that it doesn't get too overcrowded which will slow the work down.

If anyone has any questions about the testing or anything - PM me and I'll give you my phone number. thanks!

Whatexactly is cha cha??

ChaCha is a free mobile search service that allows you to get answers to any question you might have - right on your mobile device.

As a ChaCha Guide, youfind answers to thetext questionsthat come in. The work is a lot of fun and it's a great way to earn a little extra cash.

If youwould like a referral, please feel free to PMme.

I applied and hopefully will hear back soon, I am always on the internet searching for something so why not help somebodyANDhave a little funhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif Thanks for sharing. Have a great day!!

I do it too at night while I'm watching TV. I also like it.
I have referrels as well if anybody needs one. Just PM me.

Cha Cha currently isn't hiring anymore transcribers and you also dont make a percentage off anyone you recruit if you're a transcriber... Just an FYI for ya all...

Lest anyone be misled, you are speaking of transcriber guides.

That isnottrue for text (sms) guides, which this thread is about. Edited by: melsue

I am getting ready to take the test for ChaCha. I was wondering if anyone could tell me, is the test hard? Anyone have any pointers or suggestions? TIA!

Kelly

I just applied on Monday and got an invite last night. I did the test this morning- very easy. I'm doing the guide work right now. It is a lot of fun!


Jeannine

I received my invitation to do testing this morningbut I don't see the link I'm suppose to click on to do the testing. I don't know how to contact the company either to let them know.

MySontheSamurai- your pm box is full so I can't respond to you. Clean it out and I'll write ya back.smileys/smiley4.gif

i love cha cha i have some referrals to give out pm if you are interested.

what is the pay like? It sounds interesting, but do you actually get alot of questions when you are logged in?

The pay is .20 per answered text. Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up and the work is fun! I just started myself and have been getting a constant stream of questions.

I have referrals as well. Feel free to PM. :)

I have been working for ChaCha for a month or so. Some questions can be hard to search for and others are easy! PM me if anyone has question about how it works.

I still have referrals and am still loving it! I sit down and work when I feel like it - (it's sort of addicting). The searches are pretty much back to back all day. (.20 per search - some take a minute or less - some a little more) If anyone has any questions about the testing or anything - email me.
For a referral - just put my email on the app:

conniekangas@verizon.net





http://search.chacha.com/guidesignupnow



Have fun !

Do you have to have a cell phone with text?

Nope you do it online.

ok i just signed up... now what do i do... wait for them to respond though my email?

I love ChaCha! It's really taken off and the searches are back-to-back now. I'm making 40.00 a day and yesterday made 50.00. Also, ChaCha is the official mobile text service sponsor of the Indy 500 this month so it's just going to continue to get better and better.

I still have some referrals left too. If anyone would like to sign up under me, use this email address: heywingnut@hotmail.com

I'll be happy to answer questions and help you out whatever way I can. I'll check back throughout the day for any PM's.

Koledust, yes, just wait for them to email you. They're usually pretty quick about it.



Edited by: KristineV

Yes, they will send you an invitation email to take the fitness tests and the simulator test - then you wait a couple days to see if you passed and thats it....

I applied for a position here and was sent a invitation. I click on the link and put in my handle and password and I get a message that account is suspended. I have tried the contact us link for assistance but the e-mail sent from that is being sent back to me. Does anyone have any suggestions or a way I can contact them to find out what is going on?

TIA
Kathy

I'm sorry you're having a problem. You can go to chacha.com and use the regular contact form. Explain what's happening and they'll get back with you.


Edited by: KristineV

I did that and used the subject of guide registration. I submitted it and then after a bit I got a e-mail saying that it was returned.

I am interested in doing this if anyone can send me an invite that would be great, thanks..just a question or two...do the questions just come to you or are you competing with someone else to answer that question? and what type of questions do they ask?? and how about if you can't answer a question??

Found a great site to listen to music while you chacha - pandora.com. Just put in your favorite artist and it will play for you continuously - it makes sitting at the PC less tedious...lol! Been getting great questions today!

I've been on and off with Chacha since 06 and this is the first I've ever seen it this busy... my account keeps on growing. I plan on cashing out when I reach enough to pay for our vacation this summer.

I am still a regular desktop search agent. I do not get any searches. I leave mine logged in for hours. can anyone help me with this as to why and what I can do about it? Thank You.

Do you read the knowledgebase or the forum? ...... They have done away with desktop searches. Have you tried applying for the Text position.?

I just took the first two tests and passed and now have to do the simulator questions. Can anyone give an idea of how difficult the questions are and how many hours do you usually work per day? What is the average amount of $ you make per week? Just trying to get a feel for the type of work it entails and how people are liking it. Thanks.

The questions vary considerably---some are simple (factual), others require a little digging, and others are borderline inappropriate. Although, for those who chacha-ed from the beginning, there is no where near the level of abuse that there used to be. Now that there is no guide/IS interaction it's just not interesting for them.

oh okay I will try some other time then thanks!

good thanks I will try again in a few days.

I was previously a Cha Cha guide and can still access my account. What do I need to do to look into being an SMS guide?

I'm feeling really stupid now, but need some help. I got the email from ChaCha about being invited to be a guide. It said the "invitation link" was further below in the email. The only link I can see is a knowledge base link, and when I click on it, it brings up a page to log-in with log in name and password. Since I haven't registered yet, I can't log-in. It says to go to "Contact" on that page, or on the Home page, and register, and there is no contact button on either of those pages.

I've studied this and studied this and don't know why I can't see what they say is there. I need to register so I can take the tests, but I can't find where to register. Can anyone help please?

Thank you,

Chic

I had this problem and I used the contact us on the main page to notifiy them of this. It took 24 hours to get a reply but they resent it. I also signed up with a different e-mail address in the mean time and that one is now working. I did all my tests now playing waiting game.

Well I just took the test today and I must have failed. I really need this job too and I think it would be a lot of fun. I dont even know how bad I did. Can someone help me out here????? Please PM me anything!!!

Thanks,
Lori

They are offering all sorts of incentives this weekend - hourly bonuses - etc. It is really hopping - amazing. I tried it at 12 midnight last night and it was steady - again at 6am this morning and it was busy then. amazing!

I did my 15 simulator questions today. Do you think that I will have to wait until monday to wori?

I had my 15 test searches last friday and today I am a official guide. It is pretty fun. I have done some questions this morning.

Congratulations KitKat! Good luck to those who have taken the tests! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

I had my 15 test searches last friday and today I am a official guide. It is pretty fun. I have done some questions this morning.


I passed the first 3 tests and am going to do the 15 test searches
next, but am a little apprehensive. In the Chacha guides, I know you
have to format things a certain way and not use certain sites as
references; when you are doing the simulator searches, how do you know
exactly how to reply? Did you study the Handbook extensively before
you did your searches? Thanks for any information!

I would go to the knowledgebase and print out all of the information under "for new guides". That way you always have references. Sometimes each of the sections have links also, so be sure you check for those. The video they have there is exactly what you would be doing, except when you do the simulation tests there is no option to review the history.

Also, there is a lot of great information in the forum for new and training guides. I would look under "guides in training", lots of great pointers. Basically, I would review EVERYTHING under the knowledgebase for new guides and skim some of the forums.

I found out I passed the simulations today and will begin working. Good luck on your testing.

Krista

I second what dereksmom said. I just briefed over the stuff and I was scared that I would not pass. I would recommend studying the knowledgebase and print the newbies stuff. I have been doing that even today.

So what do those think that are working? Seemed a little slower today - but it might have been my machine running a little slow.

I think the system was just running a little slower due to the high volume of texts ChaCha was receiving. My computer was a little slow at times as well. I think it's a great sign that we are getting the 'High Volume Alert' e-mails. This is a great opportunity to jump on board. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

There really don't seem to be any slow times any more. Almost any time you sign on, the questions are back to back. It's great! If anyone is still needing a referral, I have a few left. You can use heywingnut@hotmail.com

Thanks!

everytime I have logged in I have gotten queries. system was a little slow yesterday but still got queries and made money. I was on yesterday off and on for for a total of 66 min and made 13.40. Now I was doing this doing my day job so I was not available and I put that.

If anyone still needs a referral go to chacha.com and click be a guide and put in kbond1521@yahoo.com.

Happy ChaChaing!!!

please be careful here. this is a public forum----anyone (not just members of wahm) can see your email addresses. it's much safer to use the pm system

I need some help.. I just got an invitation today fromChaCha ...I went to the site got to the part for the Video and it never started. I then tried to log out and log back in again. I got to the log in the site said "invalid invatation" but I never took any of the test. I never started any of the test so what can I do now? I do not know who to contact so that I can watch the video and do the test. Thanks please any input is appreciated...

The best thing to do is to contact chacha. if you can get into the forum you can do it there, if not then go to http://info.chacha.com/Contact/tabid/58/Default.aspx
You can then select customer service and they should get back to you. Give them as much detail as possible.

Thank you very much for your quick response Kathy B. I tried to do the feedback form but it kept sending it back to my email saying email failure. I just got into the forum so there now getting some answer keep your fingers crossed for me LOL! Thanks you are super....

Hi I applied just now and hope to hear from them soon!

are there any other jobs just like chacha? I did not pass but i wanted to so bad work with them! anyone know when i might be able to retest?http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif

smileys/smiley1.gif
Edited by: amymccray

I had my e-mail returned when selecting guide registration but not customer service.

If you can get in the forum you can get alot of good things there as well. There is also a a feedback in the KB that can be used to get ahold of people at chacha.

Hope you get things lined out.

I just past three fitness test someone email me and tell me more about the simulation searches are they real hard....thanks

The best way to pass the simulation test is to read the knowledgebase and the official guide. These give you all kinds of things about chacha. Once you have completed that then log into the universe and you will immediately get your test questions.

There is NO warning that these are test questions but they are. Some are easy others will take longer to find info. Make sure that you give correct answers in as short as time as possible.

if you have any other questions let me know. I will do myh best to answer them for you.

i sure will! thanks for your help.

I thank you again Kathy you are super!!!

You are very welcome. glad I could help.

I printed up their data sheets (or sometimes called cheat sheets) - all info was on there. The best thing to do is not even look at the clock - it just makes you nervous.

Does anyone have an invitation for me? Thankshttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I have some available. go to chacha.com http://info.chacha.com/Careers/BecomeaGuide/tabid/74/Default.aspx
and signup. When asked where you heard you can put my e-mail.
kbond1521@yahoo.com

Also - the movie is great - just watch the movie and take notes - step 1 - step 2 - etc. It's really quick and easy and in most cases the 'find results' button does. You just highlight and (verify and) send.

How can you retest if you failed?

I am interested in applying a ChaCha. I've read the posts and most people are saying they still have referrals. If I need a referral would be thankful to have someone send me one and any advice to get into the system. Thank you in advance - have a great friday!

IF you still need a referral you can use me. I have a few left. Use mybiznessstuff@yahoo.com as referring email. Good Blessings! :)

I also have some left if someone would like one. kbond1521@yahoo.com

This is too funny - got this question on chacha today: LOL!

What is the phobia for being afraid of getting chased by rabid wolves
around a recently waxed wood floor while wearing new socks?

I would be curious to your answer

omgosh that sounds like a tough one!!

There's no answer - but it was funny....

If anyone is still looking for a referral, I have a several left. Please PM me.

For those posting your email addresses on the boards, be careful as this is a public board and you may be subject to spam.

If you have questions about Chacha, let me know! Good luck to all those that are applying!

Hi, I got the email that I was accepted along with the registration/testing link
but I wanted to check out the knowledge base before I do the testing..however when i clicked on the knowledge base link it requires username and password
can anyone help me out?

I have plenty of referrals to give out as well. Please feel free to PM me for my referral address! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif

Yeah I applied and took the test.. but failed :(
That really sucked because I did my best and I knew almost every question and some I had to search!
They must want "perfect"people
Oh well

Don't give up! Many of the people here were able to take the test again, and pass. Read the thread about those who failed. Since you knew almost every ansewr, maybe next time you can focus on the formatting of your answers, the time it takes to search and making sure you have a source linked to all of your answers.

Your babies areso precious!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Could someone tell me how we use our referrals and how do we benefit from them when someone uses one?

Thanks

How long did it take everyone to hear back if you passed the simulator test?

So I take it you have to have a referral to apply? Does someone want to IM me a referral? I am also wondering if chacha has some sort of monthly quota. I know some other texting jobs have quotas and if you don't hit your quota you don't get paid. Thanx

If when I am doing the simulation testing, I click on "find chacha results" and I see the site with the answer there and it is not a black or gray listed site and I save it and the website is shown after I "add result", will it show as that site and can the customer get to the link without going thru chacha?

Please help me with this. I have gotten rather resourceful with the research but do not want to put in the wrong site. I think this is the part I get the most nervous about.

Does anyone set goals for themselves? My goal this month is just $25 a day. I easily meet that. If anyone needs a referral - I have some too. Just PM.

So to answer the last few questions:

You do not have to have a referral to get a position with ChaCha. People say they have referrals so you can be on the team of that person. As they are helping you here. Just a way to say thanks.

T_tootles Please Pm me if you are still having problems. I will not post about the chacha tools here as this is a public forum. I will help you to answer those privately.

ChaCha does not have any quotas you must meet at this time.

I do not set a quota for myself as I do not always know when I will be available. Maybe I will start a weekly quota instead of daily?

Just wanted to ask current Guides what is your average amount of hours that you work per day and how much does that amount to? I also have another computer job that takes up a lot of my time, but I want to make sure to get in enough time w/ ChaCha as well. Thanks.

This is sad... I have a graduate degree but am apparently too dumb to pass the ChaCha tests. They have "no jobs for me right now" so I'm assuming that means I failed, right?

Thank you KitKat. It probably was not appropriate to ask here. I have gotten my answer already. I find I am over analyzing this far too much.
I was just nervous. Still waiting to hear if I passed the sim tests.

I'm trying to log in for the first time to get the handbook. I dont know my handle or password. Is my handle my e-mail address?

That's how I felt with Any Question Answered (AQA). I'm an educated person but apparently I'm not smart enough for their company.

Your handle is whatever you picked when you signed up - not an email address - just your handle and password.

For those that get paid on the 15th - has anyone gotten their deposit yet for May ????

I am thinking of trying this and was wondering if they send you a 1099 at the end of the year or how they work with taxes? Has anyone had trouble getting paid?

You are a independent contractor and you will get a 1099 if you make over 600.00. They do not take any taxes.

I am confused about the keywords, will you get queries if you dont add any?
I tried to add some keywords, but could never figure out how to do it lol

You will still get queries even if they do not match your key words. But if a question comes in that matches your keywords then you are more likely to get that question.

I just did my simulator questions last night and it wasn't quite as bad as I thought but there certainly is a lot of pressure with that little timer ticking away! Now how long do I have to wait to find out whether I've been accepted or not? I've heard from 3 days to 3 weeks. Hopefully it will be the former!

you are right anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks. I have not heard anyone going 3 weeks, but that is what is posted.

I just signed up today and am now going to wait to hear something. I used your referral email pleasantave. Hope it helps you .smileys/smiley4.gif

Just received the official email stating that I was accepted as a Guide after completing the 15 simulator questions last night, yeah! Looking forward to taking some real questions from people and becoming more familiar with the whole Chacha experience; thanks everyone for all the helpful information and tips throughout the processsmileys/smiley1.gif

I was accepted the day after doing the simulator queestions. The email came later. You may want to go in and do a question or two, then check your earnings and see if you received any money. You could already be in!

I just saw this message, congratulations! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif

I also did my questions last night and was hired today, and have already been working! thanks so much to everyone who posted about this!!!

It's hard to believe there are 30,000 searchers and still the SMS's are back to back pretty much around the clock.

I'm going to start taking my test tonight after my hubby gets home from work. Can someone tell me about each test so I know what to expect? Like is the typing test just typing or what? I hope I do good! How much can to hope to earn from working this as a hour or so a day?

I have referrals if anyone is interested please send me a pm.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I have referrals too. Feel free to PM and I'm also available if anyone has any questions. I still can't believe the volume of work when they have hired so many. The Wall Street Journal article said we have over 10,000 agents - but I also heard 30,000. Anyway - it is really fun -smileys/smiley1.gif

Someone had talked to me about this, I am trying to supplement my income and I would like something that could possibly average $10 per hour. Do you think this could be possible with this? Also, they had talked about texting, I would not be able to text, just e-mail. Can this be done through e-mails and also one last question do they pay by pay pal? Thanks.

I will also ask you is this only done through texts or can it also be done through e-mails and could it be possible to make $10 per hour or is it less? Also can you be paid by paypal? Thanks.

Let me know how much people say you can make please? Thanks.

I don't think you'd average 10/hour, probably closer to 6-8 an hour at most. And you answer the texts in your browser (Firefox). They don't pay by paypal, either.

The software is web based using the firefox browser. They pay via ChaCha debit card or Direct deposit.

It depends on how fast you search and the nature of the questions. If you're lucky and get an hour of easy fast questions - you could do .20 per minute - or $12. But thats not too typical. I usually do around $8.

Can anyone give me the site that I can sign up ?
I need start work NOW!!!
please help!
I will appreciate any help

ChaCha.com is the website. The thing is you have to take tests and then wait for those results and then study the knowledgebase before doing the 15 simulation tests. So this is not a start now.

You can use me as a referral if you like kbond1521@yahoo.com


Edited by: kitkat0925

does anyone know if the part 111 of the test is timed or can we take our time?

all 3 parts of the assessment tests are timed.

thanks, just passed and am invited to be a guide. Just reading info before taking simulator test. Is that timed too?

There is no time limit to take the sim test. Now each question you are giving 10 min before auto logged out. I have never taken more than 4 min to answer a question.
Make sure you read the knowledgebase before taking the sim test.

The movie is a big help - they explain it all step by step. Just search 'training' in the knowledgebase.

How long do I have to be logged in before I start receiving the test queries?
Thanks

You should get them right away.

No, I haven't been getting them. Is there something else I should do.

pleasantave,
This sounds like a really interesting opportunity..I think I'm interesting in applying. smileys/smiley17.gif

Did it say you passed the three fitness tests? Then you can just log on and the SMS's will just start. They ask that you do 15 - but if you sit there all day they will just keep coming... lol! After a day or two - or three - you get an email saying you passed.

It told me that I passed. Then I watched a video and read all of the other information...

Candace - I sent you a pm.

when you do the sim test. Is the cha cha toolbar completely there? I do not have the part where it stays you can save this as the answer to the question. Help!!!
Thanks.

if you are on a search page then you will not see the save this site part.
click into the site you found the answer to and it will appear.

Ok, I am sooo confused. This is not working for me. I received a question, then hit find cha cha results. I then came to the cha cha search page.
Clicked on one of the links and then I highlighted the info and still did not see the save this site part. My cha cha toolbar is very short on the far left hand corner. It does not spread over the page.
I don't know waht to do..... confused???!!!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif

Well I applied yesterday, I hope I hear back from them. I need the extra income.

Well I just got the invite right afterI posted this.Yay.Wish me luck.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gifEdited by: RAZ0905

A big help is to watch the video under training in the knowledgebase. It is really helpful.

OK, so I need some serious help. The toolbar only has cha cha toolbar and local links next to it on the left. The " Add this page as a favorite" and save page as a result and no description bars pop up every 10 seconds. Is this normal during training? I cannot get it to stay on.

I have spent two days trying to figure this out and I am pulling my hair out. Is there tech support I could call or email?

I need help desperately...sooon

I just took the Fitness tests and I guess I failed. It said we can not find anything for you. Or something like that. smileys/smiley19.gif
I really needed this too. I tried to login to and it says my account is suspended.
Oh well maybe I can retry later.

razo - just reapply using a different email address. That worked for me. Good luck!

This has been so great for me. I started today with $105 in my account and ended today with $150! I didn't work all day but off and on throughout the day.

Misha - the only time the save page as link will not be there is if you are on a page that has search results. If you click into a site and then find your answer and highlight it you can then click on save page. If you still need help e-mail me at kbond1521@yahoo.com

ok so I got really dissapointed when I took the fitness test 2X and did not pass , so I was sad and didn't think about trying again... but i just want to let you guys know that I signed up again and we'll see what happens...I'll keep you posted..

Remember to take your time, speed is important but I think they care more about accuracy. I got 100% on all my tests, I took my time with doing them and would take a few seconds and read over my answers before I submited each set. You can always PM me if you want some more indepth help or for any questions.

I just did my Simulator Test - it seemed fairly easy, but we'll have to see whether they like my responses or not.

Yay. I entered a new email address to register. I got the invite again. Wish me luck this time. I gotta pass them. I really need the job.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley6.gif

Thank you kitkat0925 (http://www.wahm.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=22728&amp;FID=4) , you are just so helpful. It is wonderful having people like you on this board to help people.
Thanks.

Glad I could help you out Misha . Good luck!!!

Took my 15 questions-I think. Actually is was over 25 as there is nothing that keeps count unless you go into your profile. Waiting for my email.
Anyone know if you can register if you fail the simulator tests?

Unless they have changed it since I took my tests, if you have made it to the simulator questions, you should now have access to the ChaCha forums too. Just login to the underground and click on the forum link in the upper right hand corner. You can ask question like this on the ChaCha forums and probably get a faster accurate answer.

ok so I don't know what's up I really feel like I ansewered the fitness test right... and nothing for me...http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley11.gif

You should get an immediate response from the fitness tests - then you log in and take the simulator test.

Higuys! This sounds really interesting. Can anyone tell me in detail how this goes? (through pm). Went through chacha.com and it looks fun. I love information and this will the opportunity to help and learn at the same time.

Can someone tell , can I just say no to a query that comes in? I am afraid to do so. Sometimes I want to log off but get a query right before I can. Can I reject it without recourse?
thanks

Why would you want to reject the question or just say no?

We get paid to answer allquestions in the most accurate way possible. Also, you have the info on what to do with abusive /offensive questions.

Simple, when I am done for the evening and must go somewhere. The queries come in so fast that I do not even have time to press the AWAY prompt.smileys/smiley1.gif
Other then the money, I am learning A LOT about random stuff.

Oh, I see. Yes, you have to be quick when pressing the "AWAY" button!!http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I just took the simulation test. I hope I don't fail. I did good on all the questions, butI didn't put the personal touchs, like have a nice day or thanks for using ChaCha. That won't cause me to fail? Right!!?http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif
Oh, and how will I know if I am an offical guide on the ChaCha website instead of the email? Does it say your status somewhere?Edited by: RAZ0905

I think they are looking mostly for accuracy and quality of the search results in the test.Personal touches are always a plus. Check to see if you are earning money by doing another question. You could be a guilde already. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifEdited by: Istel

On my account info its says Level Master, but it says training in progress. What does that mean? I did 17 questions.

And i'm loged in but not getting any questions to answer.Edited by: RAZ0905

Once your a guide it will change to TRAINED.
Good luck.

what is the benefit of growing a team and being a referral?
Edited by: sue311

The benefits for the team leader is you get 10% of whatever your team makes. You are only allowed to have 20 people on your team.

The benefits for being on a team or being a referral is none unless you have a good team leader who is there for you and provides help and support when you need it. Team leaders arent required to do that either you can join someones team and never hear from them again.

Ifyou are joining someones team and you are helping them to make an income I would make sure you have a good team leader who would be there for you when you need them.

Hi - you earn .02 for every search they do - it ads up! lol!

http://search.chacha.com/guidesignupnow

referral: conniekangas@verizon.net

It's also nice to have a team leader who can help you find answers to questions and stuff. My team leader is great.

Cha Cha is great. It has provided me with exactly what I needed for extra income. I do not work 10 hours a day and it is consistent when I do work. Works with my schedule being as I have 3 children, 2 of which play 3 sports. I love this place. Anyone interested in a referral you can use me kilgo591@charter.net. Good luck to all that apply and Congrats to those already Cha Chaing!

sue311: I sent you a PM but it says you've exceeded the number of messages you can receive. You can email me at tclifford@nc.rr.com if you would like more information. Thank you!

Hello ChaCha wahms!

I'm hoping maybe someone will pm me, I'm really interested in trying this out. I've pm'd two wahms now that have said in the boards to pm them for a referral, and both times no one got back to me. I'm confused, I don't understand why. I'm pretty friendly! ;)

So if anyone has referrals to share, would you pm me and let me know? Thanks!

Hey - MySonTheSamurai (member_profile.asp?PF=43322&amp;FID=4) - your inbox if full...lol! You can use me if you want: conniekangas@verizon.net

How do you sign up to do the voice transcriber?

Thanks so much, I appreciate it!

I am very friendly and helpful and would like to see you get on board. I am also in the forums a lot and will answer your PMs and questions quickly.

Good luck and hope to see you at ChaCha!

I totally failed at the typing test!smileys/smiley19.gif The set up was so weird that it threw off my rhythm and slowed me down. What a bummer! I could have really used that job. Sorry, but I won't be joining you at ChaCha.

I can't believe it! I've only been with ChaCha for a week and I've already made over $180! Not bad for an hour or 2 here and there. Why didn't I do this sooner?! If you're on the fence, jump over. It's fun, easy and you do it when you like. PM me if you need an invite.

Rivie smileys/smiley1.gif

I have not been here this weekend but I am normally available to help anyone. I as you will see in some of the posts here, I have helped lots of people. I am willing to help anyone, whether they are on my team or not.

If you need a referral you can use me kbond1521@yahoo.com Sue11 - I tried to pm you but you are full.

I just signed up with whoever started this thread. I passed the first part of the testing.

My husband just signed up under treshay. He just picked the first referral he saw.

Thanks for the info on this. Is it .02 per inquiry or .20? I have seen both on here.

Its 20 cents per question that the guides make. If you signed up to be on someones team, your team leader makes a 10% commission off of each of your answers. So they make 2 cents off of your answers and you make 20 cents.

After you become fully trained then you can start to recruit your own team.

Thank you for the referral!

For any new people that need a referral, I would personally suggest kitkat0925 (http://www.wahm.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=22728&amp;FID=4) as she has been SO SO helpful. You will not go wrong. Trust me, she helped me out tremendously.

hey you guys,I also got invited for th cha cha guide tests, and the very first one i didnt pass, wich i dont understand sometimes it would load some questionsI had answered on the page before last againand I thought maybe it was cause I had answered them wrong and brought them back up again for me to answer so I chose another answer. Anyway I signed up again with another email as well and would love it if anyone would want to help me with the tests this time if I get invited again :) . btw I used blessedbiz as a referral :) .

Hello all,

I have some referrals left. PM for one. I would also be willing to assist anyone with their questions on the process as it can be daunting for some.
Keep in mind that some skills are required, especially being able to find information on a variety of subjects on the internet.

Since I have joined I have made some pretty decent additional income thanks to all of you here and I appreciate everything this website has done. This is my best WAHJ by far and I am learning a lot about everything.

thanks

I apologize to to those who were trying to PM me. I am a text guide (new) for ChaCha. I just did not know about the referral or team benefits.

Now when my family ask me a question, I say you have to pay me 20 cents smileys/smiley1.gif

why does everyone keep giving out the ref. I mean i know you make a commission but its crowding the board.

Babygurl - People ask about referrals so we give them out. It has been posted in this thread that we make money on the referrals. We are not hiding it and if people choose to join under us then that is their choice. I give a lot of help to other people and that is not dependent on anything. I helped Misha out with getting her system setup and that and she is not on my team.

HI girls! JUst wanted to come in here and say that I have already made about 150.00 with ChaCha! I LOVE it so far! I feel blessed that I have finally found something that I can dolike this. :)

Did any of you work over the weekend during the Indy 500? They had all kinds of bonuses going out, it was great!

I also have lots of referrals as well if anyone wants one. Just use my email beachcomber576@aol.com when you sign up where it asks for who referred you. :)

If anybody needs questions answered about ChaCha, pm me on yahoo: foladar2005 and I'll try to help you out. If your a current ChaCha guide, you can pm me too and ask for the chat if we have one going.

Hi everyone,

I have created a seperate topic thread for ChaCha invites/referrals at: http://www.wahm.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=570040

If you have invites or need an invite, please visit this thread. Hopefully, this will help this original thread stay informational and make it easier for new members to locate an invite.

Thanks!

How do you sign up to do the voice transcriber?

Right now I don't think they are hiring for anymore voice transcribers, but they are for the guides, and I know that alot of people enjoy being a guide. It's actually really fun and you learn alot of new things along the way. You can always check back every now and then to see if they are hiring for the transcriber positions or if anyone knows if they are. Maybe someone who has been with them longer knows how those positions work or how to apply. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I seen somewhere that you have to be invited to be a voice transcriber. It is dependant on your qualities of txt guides and openings.

Someone tell me about the typing test! I NEVER do good at the typing tests, I always freak and make a ton of mistakes and never seem to be able to type fast enough! Good golly!!!

The tests starts when you start typing. It gives the sentences out ahead of you typing them. By the end it is full sentences a head of you. Just stay calm and do not stress out. You can try the free tests available at http://www.typingtest.com/ This will help you in typing and then when you get good do the fitness assesment.

I am a new Guide as of last week, but had a quick question for current Guides. HOw many questions do you usually complete an hour? I've read some people posting that they had only worked on and off throughout a week but had made almost $180 so far. Is that number pretty accurate as far as weekly pay? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect, thanks!

I do this part time, as I have a full time job. I have made about 60.00 a week. now this is only working during the week. Not really anything on weekends. I have heard people making much more than what I do though.

Typically I work about 4-6 hoursa day everyday and I make anywhere from $210 and up. So doing it part-time I would say around $180 a week is accurate, but definately able to make more if you work at it full time.

Ok, so I took the fitness test today and passed.. but when I went to fill out my info for the w-9 it says that my social security is already on file... anyone knows what this means?

Means at some point in time you were already hired by ChaCha or you had already pass the fitness tests before. Maybe you passed the fitness tests and failedon the 15 question simulation.So they have your SSN number on file now. You can contact them using their feedback page and catagory customer service and let them know. They should tell you what the other account is and let you know its status.

Thank you! I will try to contact them.

You could have also applied for the desktop guides back in 06, Cont act them and ask ChaCha via the contact us.

Kitkat0924 ,
Yeah I think that back in 06 I applied as a gude. I sent them a message and it comes back to me as undeliverable. I just sent them another one as lily33 suggested and just waiting for an answer.... By the way Im really exited ! I hope everything clears up...

I have a question about the simulator test. I log in available like it says but I have yet to get a query. Does it take a while? Or am I doing something wrong?

I had applied back in 06 but never finished anything and they still had my old info. Guide registration is broken on their site but I re-sent to customer service I believe and got a answer in 24 hours.

Ok, so I sent a message and haven't gotten an undeliverable message again. Do you know if I should have mentioned that I had applied as a desktop guide back in 06.. ? or will they automatically know?
Thanks!

I think it would depend on what information you gave them this time. They can probably look it up by your name, email, or SSN and see where you are in their systems. If none of your current application information matches what they have on file they might need more information from you to find your old account.

I have a question about the simulator test. I log in available like it says but I have yet to get a query. Does it take a while? Or am I doing something wrong?

the simulator questions can be a little slow but if your waiting longer than 5 min and you havent recieved a single question yet, I would post the problem on ChaChas forums under bug reporting or new guide helpand see what they tell you.

I would have gave them as much info as possible so that they could find you the easiset.

can someone send me a referral ..TIAhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif

I got in.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif Yesterday was my first. I worked about 5 hours and only made $6.20. I wasn't slow. Everytime I try to accept is says its taken.Ugh. I donno how people make $5-10 a hour?

It should get easier, even if you are fast now, you will soon learn which websites you want to have open in another tab because you get so many of those type of queries.

I also recommend going to the forum they offer and looking at the favorites section - bookmark the ones you like and you'll have quicker access to some of the harder questions. That's helped alot!

Congrats on getting in! I worked last night too, and the system was a bit slow. It usually isn't like that. As you work more hours, you'll get the hang of it, and you should see in increase in the number of questions you can answer quickly. Good luck and welcome aboard!

Congrats! And be patient while you get into the ChaCha groove. I truly think thatwhen you are in trainingmore experienced guides get first crack at things. Keep plugging away and you'll be fine!

Also, I thought I was fast when I first started--but I wasn't. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gifYou will get faster with practice and by reading tips and tricks in the forums! Spend some time reading the knowledgebase too.

Good luck! Once you get into the swing of things you'll be fine--just keep your finger on the enter button while waiting!

EDIT: One other thing--somewhere in the knowledgebase is a graph that shows slow and peak ChaCha usage hours. You might want to station yourself during busy times so you can get more opportunities to answer queries. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Edited by: cyndilouwhoo

I applied to ChaCha on Monday but I still haven't heard anything. (I have checked my spam folder) How long does it usually take to hear back from them?

Monday was a holiday so perhaps you will hear something today.
Best of luck.

My fingers are crossed http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

Some things that might assist others:

It takes time to make money. There will be a few instances of frustration as you try to find something and in fact there may be in instance where you just cannot find it at all.

Set up different tabs and have them open. I have the main ChaCha website open for general inquires such as ,"What is ChaCha" ,etc..

I have a Google tooblar installed also and in it have whitepages.com, peoplesearch, weather, etc...

The faster you make the inquires the more money you make, but....the better quality the response, the more you assist in building the customer base.

ChaCha website, use the Cha Cha Underground to access your information as it seems more reliable then clicking on the My Account link on the Universe. At least for me.

How much can you make?

For starters and average search times I would guess around $5.00 an hour. It goes up from there. Some searches take 30 seconds while others cans take 4 minutes for items such as the chemical breakdown of a theoretical teleporting chemical catalysts. ;) You get all kinds of questions including many crude ones.

My goal is around $20 a day and more on the weekends working just a few hours. So figure $20x30=$600 a month plus a little more from the weekend. Not too bad. for some extra chump change. smileys/smiley36.gif

Hope that helps

I only have a few referrals left if you need one, use

chacha@ladtek.com at

http://info.chacha.com/Careers/BecomeaGuide/tabid/74/Default.aspx

PM me once you are joined up and I will be happy to assist with some pointers. We cannot help with the test.

Happy ChaChing.

I would email them again and ask for more information and explain to them what you just put here. It could be error on their part, or ask them what the other account is. It may be from where you applied to be a guide long ago and they might activate the old account for you to use.Edited by: Lilly33

I agree with Mayantek that it takes time at first to make the money you want. However, some of the newbies have shared that they start out earning pretty good money. It depends on how fast one types and getting induring some or all of the high activity times. ChaCha lets you know when these busy times are for each day, so that makes it very easy.With practice,you'll learn to developyour ownrhythmand system that will help speed things up for you.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif


Need a referral? Just pm me for my email address and I'll be happy to give it to you along with answering any questions you may have. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif

I got an invite and did all the testing then got an email that they did not have any positions suited for me. HUH? I know I answered all those questions correctly. I wonder if it's my area. I live in a small town in WV. Hmmmm. Now I'm a bit discouraged....again.
