Have you made any money from this?

We are not accepting new Guide roles at this time

Thanks for your interest in becoming a ChaCha Guide. Due to our current staffing needs, we are not recruiting for any of our Guide roles. If you have already started the Registration process you can continue or if you are waiting for a response to an issue you have already submitted, we will be in touch soon!

That is what the site says, so I guess you can't really even join right now...

I am a member of ChaCha and yes you do make money. The work is easy.. a bit tedious.. you have to check them every now and again to see if they are hiring or not, or I'm sure someone will update this thread.

Did you apply for a certain role, or are they just not hiring at all in general right now?

Well I went to look at what roles they have and their descriptions and then it said Get started! so I clicked that, and that's what was brought up....so I suppose they aren't hiring. It looks pretty interesting and I will definitely keep checking it.

Not hiring at all right now...but it changes often. Keep a eye on the forum, Registration updates.
It currently says-

Updated: May 20th, 2009

Hello! We wanted to let everyone know that we have shut down recruitment for all Guide roles at noon today.

Please note we are working to get back with all of you who have submitted issues as quickly as we can. If you were testing for the Generalist Guide role we are working to help you complete that test.

Anyone requesting to change guide roles to Generalist after the cut-off time (Wednesday, May 20th at noon) will not be able to test for that particular Guide role until recruitment for that Guide role resumes.

Also we request that you only submit one issue through feedback so that we can get back with everyone as quickly as possible!

Thank you!

I want free money too

[MCB2008]

I applied recently when they were hiring......
need-less to say i didnt make it. a couple of those answers were really hard lol.
but i will say that i had fun trying out for it. if i would have made it it would have been awsome.
recommended, so keep checkin back.

They can be a bit hard to get on with. The work is a bit tedious like stated above but not to difficult. As far as pay they are paying generalists 10 to 20 cents per question answered. It averages out to around 3 to 5$ an hour if you get fast and efficient lol. Not bad for a little extra money here and there but nothing major. It can be fun to though and you can do it anytime anywhere while working on other things.

Thanks for all the info!
