What is ChaCha? ChaCha is a mobile answers service that provides answers to questions that anyone in the US can text to 242-242 or call in at 1-800-2CHACHA. Its free to use, & is ad-supported. Over 10 million people use it a month, & its larger than Google in SMS-searches.
There are three roles, two of which are hiring; Expediters & Generalists/Specialists.
EXs receive the questions that are texted in, or transcribed by Transcribers. They then either select a previous answer that matches the question, or clean it up & pass it to a GE/SP. They make 2 cents per query.
Generalists/Specialists receive questions from EX's which need researched to be answered. They search the web, cite the source/s & type (or copy & paste) an answer, then send it back to the customer. They make 10 to 20 cents per query, depending on the category (easy ones like directory lookups are less, hard ones like math & physics make more). You set the categories you want to receive queries related to.
You must live in the US, have a Windows or Mac PC, Firefox web browser & a highspeed internet connection.
I'm an GE/SP. I joined in May, & have made nearly $200. I only work occasionally, & have only done 1900 queries. I average $2-4 an hour, which is normal for most Guides. Its a fun job, & perfect to do in your spare time. To get started, go to becomeaguide.chacha.com. If you'd like to ask me any questions personally, email me at ChaChaGuideLaizee@gmail.com. If you'd use me as a reference, I'd be really grateful.

That sounds great thanks for posting this I really wanted to work for them before but they were not hiring anymore. I am going to apply tonight and hopefully I will be able to work for them.
