You can make money answering questions. Woot Woot!

A friend of mine that I met working with Arise told me about a human answering service called ChaCha. This is one of the coolest sites I have ever laid my eyes on. Basically, a customer will ask ChaCha a questions and a ChaCha guide will answer their questions. This is an independent contractor opportunity. This is not an employment opportunity. I have been working with ChaCha since January 2011 and I have answered thousands of questions so far. If the customer can think of it, you will answer it. There are currently three different ChaCha guide roles.

  • Transcriber ($.03 per completed task) The Transcriber will answer questions that are called in. Any question they cannot answer using the tools they have available to them will be sent to a Generalist/Specialist.
  • Generalist/Specialist (between $.10-$.20 per completed task) The Generalist/Specialist will research any questions that the other two roles cannot answer and send a great answer to the customer.
  • Expediter ($.02 per completed task) The Expediter works almost the same way as a Transcriber but they answer questions that are either from the web or sent as a text message. Any question they cannot answer using the tools they have available to them will be sent to a Generalist/Specialist.
 I am an Expediter. I cannot speak for the other two roles but traffic is always abundant with this role. I can make anywhere from $10-$20 a day depending on how long I answer questions. I do read the forums a lot for ChaCha guides and I have seen that some people can make about $50 a day. These people are what I call too fast for the eye guides. They can read and respond to questions extremely fast and it pays for them.

ChaCha also has weekend contests where you can make extra cash when you work during those times. They also have other contests that they usually present during high traffic as incentives for guides to answer more questions. This opportunity has paid most of my bills so far.

It is free to sign up with ChaCha and they do train you from your own home on how to answer the questions, login, and use the interface. Also, The ChaCha guide forum is a great way to get better at answering questions and learn from other guides experience. When you do start the to take the Readiness Test ( evaluation before starting) after training, you can go to the forum and ask for help or read the forum posts to help you better understand how the Readiness Test works.
