[npmommie]

Just go to the forum's main page and you can either click on the first link "HQ's News and Announcements" or "Blog" up in the right hand corner.~~

Thanks!! that was what I was looking for
I never paid attention to the main page, I just clicked on the expeditor section right away!

I am so mad - I did not get top guide this week - had over 400 questions and one QC...that just really irritates me, I wish they would give a good explanation of why you don't make it.
UGH - I just got the dashboard my QC was 94.9 -

 

[Jen117]

That was me 2 weeks ago. I was so irked!!! It happened another time when I could barely make 200 because of all the problems. Not know what you did wrong makes it hard to change things!

I made TG again this week and so happy. I get all anxious now waiting for the list to come out because I can't guess what they will do!

Made Top Guide this week, so why am I not being paid 20 cents per question? I sent an inquiry to ChaCha about this through feedback. I figure I won't hear from them for awhile, but I am not happy! I should be making 20 cents per question, not 10!

I managed to keep on the .20 cents train again this week.

Chuga, chuga, whoo -whoo!

225 searches with 99.4% and 99.6%.

UGH!! I want to cry. I was watching the end of the Dolphins game and went to the CBS bracket. I typed out what they said so that I would have the info as a clipping. I remember at the time thinking that what i said made no sense but had no reason to doubt it - well now the sites are all updated and it was wrong - after I have been answering the question wrong - my QC score is going to STINK!!!

I was at the same bracket at the end of the Eagles game and they were wrong AGAIN! I got a screenshot of that so if I get QCs I can show them but I am not sure they will care. So don't use the CBS brackets for your info!

 

[Daydreamer64]

Hi!

The TG list is up, this week I had 208 searches with 100% and 100%. Good luck to all!

Guys - I really need some help here. I've updated all the stuff you're supposed to update to get questions, and I still don't get anything. In fact, I never even get those emails that say "High Volume Alert" anymore. Then I see that people are still making TG so I'm wondering what else I need to do. Help!

 

[GreyGooseCosmo]

There's only been one "High Volume" email sent out in the last month and a half (around the Christmas holiday).

I try to be online during the times where other guides aren't really on. Late at night (EST), on Saturday / Sunday afternoons, etc.

I still want to know the secret of the one guy that keeps winning the $250 bonus every week.

 

[minnie1928]

Is Cha Cha still looking for guides? I thought I read somewhere that they weren't anymore?

If they are looking, how would someone go about getting started. I have friends that are looking to make some money in the evenings at home and this might be a good fit for them.

They are not hiring.

Really, Saturday nights?, I am going to try tonight. I have been on all day have gotten exactly 2 questions....and they were hard and took FOREVER to answer.

I dont think there is any way possible for me to earn the money I need to take my family on vacation this summer

Do you all have sports as one of your categories. Scores and game times never get auto answers so if you have those you can make a ton during games. My DH loves that I want to watch the games and I can make 50 or 60 dollars on NFL game days. I am transitioning to NHL and NBA right now.

I am getting the same question over and over right now - what is the score of the Ravens Titans game. Now that it is over I am answering them in 5 seconds with my clipping.

They were doing auto-answers with scores, but I think they abandoned that idea. They formatting was awful, and they were horribly delayed.

Although I hate the vanity questions ... I've made about $15.00 today searching the internet for BS about a bored teenager asking about herself.

Well, I squeaked in at just over 200 tonight. I hope I don't get dinged for too many or it may put me under 200. I'll have my fingers crossed until Thursday!

At least traffic has picked up. I just didn't have a lot of time this week to ChaCha.

What do you think of the new QC rules and procedures? It seems to me it is going to be harder to make top guide now.

I can see that point but I am not sure that it will be that bad - I always do that stuff anyway.

But - I did go and apply to be a KGB agent - they have set hours but they also don't have on more guides than traffic can handle and that seems like a bonus to me.

 

[Mikelly1221]

I got the email about the new rules and such. I really don't know what to think. Since I got paid in Dec. I haven't been back on-it took 2 months for me to get to $100.00 and I'm not real anxious to get back on that treadmill again.

How has the traffic been lately? Is it still slow or has it improved?

I do normally do all the right things too. But it seems like now they don't want just the correct answers, but they want you to go beyond. How are we supposed to do that in 130 characters or whatever the limit is? Sometimes I can barely fit in the answer, let alone more. "What are 3 causes to the Spanish civil war?" I mean that takes a few letters!!!


Also, what is a KGB agent. I'm assuming its not the Russian spy thing!

I am concerned that the new guidelines are too subjective. I mean, get someone who's having a bad day doing your qc and there goes top guide.

Other than that, I am super grateful to ChaCha. I just paid off my Disney trip with the money I made in December.
