ChaCha is a basically a search engine that is powered by people. Let's say you want to know the first 8 digits of pi. You text the question to ChaCha (242242) and moments later you'll get the answer sent to your phone (3.1415927). What you could do is be one of the who search up the answer and get paid for it! You have the entire internet at your disposal to search up the answer. You basically get paid to use Google or Yahoo!

How much do I get paid?

UPDATE: ChaCha has changed how much new people get paid.
When you become a guide, you will start as an Apprentice. Apprentices get paid 15 cents per search.

All new Guides will remain “Apprentices” until the three following criteria have been met:
1. The Apprentice has been a Guide for at least 30 days.
2. The Apprentice has completed at least 1,000 paid searches.
3. The Apprentice has a quality score of 92% or above.

When these 3 are met, you will be bumped up to a regular guide and earn 20 cents a search. Good luck Apprentices!

How often do I have to work?

That's the beauty of it. Whenever you want! Work 15 minutes or 15 hours, it's your choice.

How old do I have to be to join?

You have to be 18 years or older due to taxes and such.

How do I become a guide?

Simple! Just go to http://search.chacha.com/guidesignupnow and fill it out. After going through some short tests, you'll be earning money in no time! If you want to help me out, use my email address as a referrer

When do I get paid?

There are 2 options to get paid: Pay Me Monthly and Pay Me Now.

Pay Me Monthly- This is what I'm using. You give ChaCha your current checking account information. (Don't worry, it's completely safe!) And at the 15th of every month, if you're over $100, you'll get paid within a few days. If you don't have $100, the amount you have will be carried over to next month.

Pay Me Now- This is the method for the less patient types. You set up a bank account at The First Internet Bank of Indiana through ChaCha (http://www.firstib.com if you want to see the site.) and you get a Debit Card mailed to you. Whenever you want to get paid, simply hit the "Pay Me Now" button, and the money gets deposited straight into your account instantly! NOTE: There is a $2 transaction fee every time you do this. So if you have $150 in your account, only $148 will be deposited. Small fee, but you get your cash instantly.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask through this thread or PM. Thanks for taking your time to read this. Hope you earn some cash through ChaCha!

I have been wondering about this. How much do you guys net per hour? If you answer one question every minute that gets you 12 bucks an hr.

.20*60=12.00

But it seems unlikely to get that much though.

I would get 6 bucks an hr is a much more likely pay? I saw some people before saying they get like 15 bucks an hr doing it, but that seems pretty impossible... right?

Is it worth it? Or is it only worth is if you get enough other people doing it you you get 10% commissions?

$15 an hour is pretty high, I wouldn't count on that as initial rate. $6 an hour is much more reasonable, but in the beginning you'll probably make less while trying to get used to things. I barely tried for 3 days, and I got over $40. It's pretty worth it even if you don't have referrals.

[quote name='KSHLove']I've heard of this site. But I'm wondering if it's legit since you have to provide your SSN. Have you tried cashing out?[/QUOTE]

I personally haven't cashed out. But many others have. It's been going on for 2 years, and if there was an issue, it would been found out. Plus, they have a sponsorship with Coke ZERO right now, and I'm sure they wouldn't get involved if something was up.

Oh, it may take a little while to get all your financial info in order. They confirm financial info at around the 10th of the month and monthly payouts are on the 15th.
 
Well I just joined (with your email). I didn't realize that was an application? :lol: Do they ever deny people? I didn't go into detail about "WHY I WOULD BE A GOOD CHACHA GUIDE"..Is this going to be a problem?

They're not expecting an essay, but if you say something like "I WANTZ THE MONIES!" and that's it, you most likely will be rejected. I wrote something simple about how I like helping people, etc. and I got in.

Thanks for signing up under me!
 
Oh well I said "I really like spending time on the internet and researching stuff" etc Nothing big but nothin ghetto, :lol:
 
I've asked questions on ChaCha before just to see what they answer with, the people who answer don't even try to look it up they just give some crappy answer that they made up.
 
Thanks for the sign-ups! ChaCha is a great way to earn cash! No offers, no spam, none of that nonsense!

P.S. I earned 40 cents while typing this post!

EDIT: [quote name='Xfactor19990'] they ask for ssn number? No thanks[/quote]

It's a freelance job. To get paid, they need your SSN because you have to fill out a W9 form to handle taxes. You only need to handle taxes if you earn more than $600 a year. Think about it, if they make you do this, that means that it's easy to earn $600 because they took the precautions.

I got accepted when I told them that I've pranked chacha before and knew how to handle people who do that. They aren't looking for paragraphs, just tell them your intentions and you'll probably get accepted. Too bad I'm underage and couldn't accept the job =(
