OT: ChaCha

[megthewonderful]

I've made $37 since last Monday and I haven't been on that much. So, I think it's pretty good. I haven't decided between the debit card and the direct deposit. I don't like the idea of faxing them a check for the direct deposit, but the debit card option costs $2 every time you transfer a balance, plus there is a fee if you leave your account dormant for a certain amount of time. Any thoughts on the payment options?

I opted for the debit card simply for the fact that I can get my money when I want it. You have to be at $100 by the 15th for it to get transferred to your bank account with the other option. For me it's a little more incentive to build up my funds. Right now we are planning on a camping trip next weekend so my goal is to get my funds up enough to cover that trip. When it is I can click Pay Me Now and it automatically goes to my debit card less a $2.00 fee. Had I chosen the other option I would not have made the $100 deadline and I would have to wait until July 15 for my $$.

i have some questions for the DIS chacha guides, lol: ok, my application was accepted and i passed the initial testing, so now i do the simulator test, right? how long should i study? is there anything about the test i should know? do i need to d'l firefox to do it? are the questions hard? i'm SOOOOOOOO nervous! i've been a SAHM for almost 9 years and even the idea of working an at-home job when i want to has me tied up in knots! HELP!

Make sure you've watched the video and do some reading up in the Knowledge base and the Guide forums. As soon as you log into the ChaCha Universe (you need to be in Firefox to do this) the Simulator will start Ding-Dong-ing you so it can be a surprise if you're not ready. You can set your status to Away in the upper left corner until you're ready to start answering questions. Make sure you know about Black and Grey listed sites so you don't end up citing them as your source.

HTH and Good luck!

Hmmm.....I don't seem to be getting any questions. Is anyone else logged in right now?

 

[Chereya]

Yes, it's veeeery slow for me too. And I've been having issues with Firefox crashing on me multiple times today. Make sure you've set some keywords up in your profile section. I didn't get any questions at all yesterday and this may have been the reason. For an info-research service, they leave Guides in the dark about a lot and leave it up to us to figure out. Reading the Guide Forums has uncovered tips and clues about the system and how it works.

It was running very slow for me today too, very few questions. I had to clean up a lot of mistakes made by other people, too! I don't know what that's about, it seems that some guides were just being lazy. Some guy asked the same question at least five times before he got a "real" answer. I hope the slowness isn't because they are hiring too many people. Over the weekend it was non-stop, and now today it was very, very slow.

aaaahhhhhhh i'm trying to study for the simulator test and i can't watch the videos! i d'l quicktime and i can hear the audio, but the page is white!

Don't worry, you'll do fine! It's not that hard, just don't dwell on how long it is taking you to answer. That's what I stressed over in the beginning! I've been a SAHM 14 yrs!

 

[neatokimmo]

When you go non stop how many answers are you able to crank out in an hour? I am just trying to figure out what this breaks down by the hour

does anyone know where i can d'l firefox 2.0? i understand chacha doesn't work w/ 3.0, is that right? i've tried mozilla.com, download.com (thought for sure i'd find 2.0 there) and done a google search and i can't find 2.0 anywhere!

 

[chattyann]

I have been doing it a couple hours a day since Friday night and I already have 42.00. Monday when it was down so much I did'nt really do anything. Today maybe a dollars worth. So I don't figure that's bad. It has been bad today too.

 

[JBird85]

I wasn't getting any questions either until I updated my Keywords. I found out quickly that they are different than the categories.
Started last night and currently up to $9.00!

thank you i'm kinda freaking out over this simulator test...i thought maybe the training videos weren't working b/c i was using IE, but i can't find an older version of firefox anywhere! ACK!

 

[JBird85]

Okay didn't look into the payment options too close, but do they send you a debit card and then add to payments to that card, or do they send you a different debit card each time? Is there anyway you can get cash off that card?

[Jennifer823]

I read somewhere that it probably only works out to about $4 or 5/hr, more or less. If you're going non-stop, you can answer probably one question every 4 minutes or so.. that's about $4/hr.

It's not too busy for me right now either. I worked for an hour at got $6.00 worth. I've reached my first goal, which is to cover my massage on my cruise. I think my next goal is to cover a couple of games of bingo.

Okay I just finished my test - I messed up at first and aborted the 1st question went back and read something again and started over-
did okay I guess took over 5min on 3 questions- said one need to be clairfied and did 15 answers.. I think I might of not gave a complete right answer on one of those.. I was a neverous reck on this... I get test anxitiy always did... so now I will have to wait and hope all the rest were good enought to accept me in I hope so.. I really want to do this for play money.
