Thread: I actually found a legitimate online job

This isn’t spam, or a scam, I promise. In fact, if any moderators want me to delete this, I will, no problem. I thought it was a scam at first too. But if you search around like I did, you’ll find that it is legitimate:

ChaCha Named Finalist In 2008 American Business Awards(SM) Program

Some of you may have heard of ChaCha. They provide a service that allows anyone in the US to text in questions from their phone and receive answers back, free of charge. Any question, like “When was __ born?” or “”What is __?” etc. They receive income from advertising and such. Try it! Text 242242 (ChaCha).

But you can actually be one of the people who answer those questions. You get to work from your own computer, work as little or as much as you want, whenever you want. You sign in through their website and questions are sent to you based on keywords you select. You find the answer on the Internet, then source the website you used and answer the question within the parameters of a text message. The downside? They pay you 20 cents per question you answer. The upside? When you get used to the program, you can make $6-$10 an hour, or more for some of the really fast Guides.

This won’t make anyone rich, but it’s a fun way to make extra pocket change, and is ideal for people like live at home moms, college kids and others with free time at home who would like to make some extra cash. There are about four tests you have to pass in order to get the position, but if you prepare yourself well, they aren’t that hard.

When you first go to apply, there is a spot where you can include the email of a person who referred you. If you use my email I’ll help you prepare for the tests you have to pass so you’ll know exactly what to expect. But you don’t have to use a referral - few of my friends have done it that way too and got the job fine.

Click the “Become a Guide” link on the bottom right to learn more about ChaCha. Also feel free to ask me questions. I am a normal member of these forums after all!

i don't know, that kinda sounds weird, but i hope all works out for you!

It is weird! Try texting a question to 242242 (ChaCha)!

Maybe something like "How did Halloween originate?" to keep in the spirits of the forums.

I have sent a few people a bunch of info on how to pass the tests. If anyone else is interested, shoot me a PM BEFORE signing up on ChaCha's website. A few people have signed up, then messaged me. At that point, you cannot use me as a reference, so I will not send you help!

Two people I helped out got the job already! If anyone else is interested in my help, send me a message to get my email before you apply.

Wow. I have a bunch of people on board so far, but no one from here yet.

ChaCha announced that they and Alltel Wireless have joined together. Things will be getting busier! That means more $$$.
