Yup I finally got my registration info today. I filled it out all out just waiting to get the tax information filled out (w-9). They still havn't said how much you make yet. So I'll keep you guys posted on whether or not its worth it.

Currently the registration is closed, so I can not invite anyone to become a guide yet. When It opens back up I'll let you know so you can PM me your email for an invite.

That's sweet.  I didn't know about it until I googled it.  Haha.  Seems like a nice way to get a tiny bit of cash while bored.  Better than just sitting there.  Let me know when registration opens up again?

http://www.chacha.com/info/about


It's a search engine with a "Guide".

Why Search with a Guide? By searching with a Guide your query is sent to a real person who is skilled at finding information on the internet and knowledgable on the subject at hand so that you get the few exact results you want, not the millions of results you don't.

ChaCha only provides quality, human approved results.

Every time you use ChaCha it gets better

The more you use ChaCha, the smarter and faster ChaCha becomes! Because ChaCha indexes all the questions that are asked and associates them with the search engines and resources used by Guides, and the links visited by the users, ChaCha knows where to look and what the best human-approved resources are for each question or topic.

Search with a Guide. It helps us make money and we can usually return results in less than a minute. Once you change your habit of automaticly going to google, yahoo, and misc search engines you'll love searching with a guide.

Depends. It varies on your ratings. People who search rate you at the end of your session. As your rating raise your "class" raises. You start off as an apprentice and work your way up to elite.

I'm not allowed to further discuss pay.

What kind of retards need a search guide? This further promotes American laziness. Is there really a need for this?

Actually yes. Since your so leet you probably don't. Although someone like your mom who needs to find out information about making a photo blog of your baby pictures sure could.

Yo I'm a guide too actually.

It's 20 cents per text.  I went through all the hassle of getting an account, going through the tests and "training" and then realized how little money I would make and bailed on it.  I think I answered three actual texts.  Chacha owes me 60 cents...

It's only really a good deal if you either A) Live in China, or B) Are afraid of sunlight and have to find a job where you never leave the house.
