I've really loved working for ChaCha. It's been fun, and I've made quite a bit of money already. The thing that's been bugging me for a couple of days, though, is the fact that they've started limiting the number of questions a user can ask a month. ChaCha users can only ask 20 questions a month. For most teenage users (and there's alot of them!) 20 questions won't get them through two day!
I have no idea why they instituted this new rule. I cannot see how it's helping the company, since they have really managed to piss off quite a few people, and I'm assuming, not as many questions going out means their advertisers' ads aren't getting seen as much. I understand the need for "unique" customers from an advertiser's stand point, but shutting out customers does not a successful company make.
So anyway, business has been slow. Not as many questions to answer, and the ones I do get are mostly from irate users wanting to know why ChaCha is being so stupid. I've been called names, been cussed at, you name it. People are actually using ChaCha to find other services that are similar because they are so ticked off.
I'll still continue to do the ChaCha since the money I'm making is being used to buy Christmas for my kids. If this doesn't get cleared up soon though, I don't know how much time I'm going to waste after the holidays for only $.20 a question.
A Vent About ChaCha
It's Beeen A While!
Wow! I guess it's been a while since I've posted. It just seems like time gets away from me once in a while. Nothing special has been going on, but it seems like there just isn't enough time in a day to get everything done.
The main thing I've been doing lately, is ChaCha. I absolutely love it! I had originally started with the idea that if I made at least $500 before Christmas to help out with gift buying, I'd be happy. Well, I have already surpassed that goal and am now shooting for $1000!
When I first started, I didn't see the earning potential. I was slow, and it seemed to take so long to find answers. The pay didn't seem worth it, but I kept at it. Now, I've learned a few things that have helped me to be faster at searching, and answering the questions is easy. It's actually fun now, and not so tedious anymore.
If anyone is looking for a way to earn a little extra money for Christmas or whatever, give ChaCha a try! If you care to sign up and have a go, email me at Shawn@livelaughblogg.com, and I'll send you the information. I have invites available.
Update On ChaCha
As my regular readers know, I am visually impaired and unable to work outside the home. I use my blog as a money making source, and just recently, I started as a Guide with ChaCha.
What's ChaCha, you ask? Well, it's this great site on the Internet that hires people to answer the questions texted in by its customers. See, if someone has a question they'd like to know the answer to, they can call 1-800-2CHACHA or text 242242 with their questions. A Guide like me looks the answer up on the Web, and then sends it back to the customer. It's really easy, and I've already made over $200 since starting at the end of August. What's really cool about it is that I can work any time I want. There are no set hours.
I can invite others to apply to be a Guide with ChaCha, too. If anyone is interested, please email me at Shawn@livelaughblogg.com, and I'll get you an invite ASAP. It's really a great way to make a few extra bucks and maybe even learn a thing or two that you didn't know before. I know I sure have!
