CHA CHA HAS TWO CHOICES FOR PAYMENT. DIRECT DEPOSIT OR DEBIT CARD. THERE IS A BASE PAY AND A REFFERAL PROGRAM. YOU CAN GET PAID RIGHT AWAY WITH THE DEBIT CARD OR GET PAID MONTHLY WITH DIRECT DEPOSIT.

I have jsut started using ChaCha text.. it’s great.. i love it and am seeking to become a super part time guide.

sometimes the answers are off.. and one tried to tell me there are several citys named seattle.. i corected it and it kinda got rude

i dunno… its a great idea.. seems to be a fun way to make money and helps me out a lot.

a guest asked me how many people the key arena holds and chacha told me in less then 30 seconds

hi, I just want to complain about the lack of personality with some guides. They’re so robotic. One guide I had complained to told me it was in a contract to not chat…well, then what’s the point? Its no better than using a machine. A few guides I’ve had tonight earn an extra few “Great” ratings. Nice guys - kept me interested with normal humane conversation while I waited.

That’s what the search atmosphere should be like - not a bunch of robotic people who’ve rehearsed everything. You need a lot more people persons.

Leonora,

The “mystery” is about the agreement that ChaCha guides sign when they join ChaCha—it’s part of the agreement that guides will not make public postings to forums, blogs, classifieds, etc., to invite people to become ChaCha guides. The reason for this is that ChaCha wants its guides to invite people they know and trust and feel would do a good job as a guide. The problem with a public posting is that you have no real idea if you are inviting a quality guide or not.

I’ve removed all the email addresses and web sites here to help all these guides comply with the agreement they signed with ChaCha. If they are going to violate their agreement, they won’t be doing it on my site.

That being said, I think it’s all a little bit silly, but until ChaCha changes their policy, I am going to keep guides’ emails and websites from displaying here.

I have an 18 year old son very interested in becoming a guide. I think this would be a great job for him - but what is all the mystery about?

Michael,

Thanks for the heads-up. I wouldn’t want to encourage anyone to break ChaCha’s policies. For the time being (until I see proof otherwise), I’m going to scrub the email addresses from the comments inviting others to be a ChaCha guide. I will, however, leave all the commentary and discussion here, and comments are still open.

Feel free to talk about ChaCha, but please don’t violate the agreement you signed with them when you became a ChaCha guide.

Personally, I think it’s a little odd to prohibit public posting of guide openings, since ChaCha guides are basically on a pay-for-performance system anyway. To hit critical mass, ChaCha should be open to anyone who wants to be a guide and who does the work right.
