hi, I just joined and I'm just sitting here waiting to get enough training in. I'm waiting for those little messages to pop up saying I have a search ready, but there aren't too many. I have only had 3 training sessions so far. How can I get more training in? Is there a key to getting more search requests for training? I'm waiting around now and playing on mylot until a guide is ready to train me.
Am I doing something wrong? I have the application up and I am available.
How long did it take you to finish the training and start getting paid to do searches?
Also, I can only put down 3 keywords in my profile. How do you add more keywords?

I know it is hard waiting I did that back in January it took about a week to get to the pro level on one of my keywords. and then you can start getting paid. I cant really say when the best time to be on to get this taken care of but just sit and wait. I read email or do mylot while I am waiting.

I have 3 keywords and I finally got bumped up (I think). There are now $ next to my keywords, but my level on the profile still says apprentice. Will I still be paid for searches in my keywords?

I you have a $ sign next to any of your keywords. then yes you will get paid for your live searches. You will still be doing training which seem like forever. I am a master in some of my keywords and am still doing training. I want to make it to elite as the pay is double. :)
So keep on training.

What is the incentive to do more training on your keyword if you are already pro? do the training sessions help you move up to the next level for that keyword?

Sometimes training depends with your keyword, but I believe they slow down the training last week and this week because of the new application guide apparently guides should do atleast 25 practice searches and Chacha had announce that they will slow down the training so that guides can practice with the new application. Other times when it's your first day you get 2-5 searches, and then the next day they just keep on coming, that was what happened when I became a first guide, the first day I only got a couple of search then the next day it got better. Your doing nothing wrong it is the system which generates the training session. But you'll be getting more sooner, I advise you to read more about the knowledgebase. You do know the proper categorizing of your keywords is that correct? This is the key to faster promotion, Have a great
day and welcome to Chacha.com :)

thanks. yes, I think I understand that. I need to make sure that when I do searches they are categorized the same way as my keywords, right?

Tell me more about this ChaCha. I keep hearing people talk about it and I have no idea what it is? Can you explain?
