Hey everyone!
I was thinking about joining the text and answer service and start answering questions for ChaCha! I wondered if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with them and if you believe I should join or not! Can not wait to hear! Happy Mylotting!

I am currently an expediter for ChaCha, but I don't really spend a lot of time over there. It's really difficult to get into that work because it's the same thing over and over again and the pay rate really isn't all that great ($0.02 per each question). It's not awful, but it's not great either and just taking all that time really gets tiring after a while.
Still, they do pay on time when they say they will. I have cashed out before. I don't use the pay card thing because it's inconvenient for me, so I wait until I have $100 in my account before getting the money directly sent to my bank and it's really a good way to earn a little extra money each year.
If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them the best that I can.

Thanks for the information you have gave so far! I seriously am thinking about joining but wanted input form people like you! I do have a few more questions! Either you can answer them here or you can add me as a friend and PM me! I wondered how long it usually takes you to reach $100. Also was it difficult or take more then one time for you to be accepted? How long did the training take? Also how often do you get a question on average? If their is anything else you think I should know then please let me know! Can not wait to hear from you! Thanks!

How long it takes to reach the $100 depends on how much time I put into it. Honestly, it takes me usually 2 - 3 months because I just don't get on there every day and do as much as I could as I tend to only do it late at night when I can't sleep and need something that doesn't involve too much thinking.
I was accepted the first time. I believe that if you fail the entrance test you can't retake it, but I would recommend you look that up for sure since I'm not 100% sure on that, but I think so. It's basically just seeing how good you are at looking information up. I did really good on it and it didn't take long at all.
The amount of questions depends on the time of day. Some people do better than others. I just finished up a short session at ChaCha and only made $0.50 in the past half an hour because the questions were kind of slow in coming, but sometimes they come one right after another. Late at night are the best hours for answering questions and early in the morning because fewer people tend to be on.

Hmm I don't have any experience with that but I sure wish you good luck on it, if you do. I would advice not to invest, just test the waters for a while.

You are welcome, I imagine by now you have already joined it. How is it going? Did you make much money already? How does it work?

This is a service where you can text a question to 242-242 and then after the people at ChaCha get the question and answer it and send the answer back to you through text! Any time you have a question you can text them for free! Standard text messaging rates do apply! I want the job online of answering the questions people have! Hope I get it! Thanks for posting! Happy Mylotting!
