My weird new job.

[awesomenick]

It's not my only job, so don't freak out. But have you guys heard of chacha? You can text anything you want to 242242 and a real person will answer your question. Every time you text a different person answers. The people who answer are called "guides." This job is cool because I've been making a little money while I browse zilvia. In the past 2 days I've made $20, which is nothing I know, but I still got to be on zilvia doing it. Anyways, I'm using it as a small extra income to afford more gas, or parts, or whatever. I get paid $.20 per question I answer, and each question usually only takes 90 seconds for me.

Anyways, if you guys want to make money while you browse zilvia, you should go apply too. I'll give you my email to use as a referral if you PM me. If you haven't tried texting chacha yet, do it. You can say anything you want to, and I mean ANYTHING.

[ManoNegra]

"standard texting fees apply..."

[chibo]

Hook it up. :)

[awesomenick]

Haha, if you don't have unlimited texting...
a) you actually have normal social skills

or

b) you're living in the 90's.

[Somnambulist]

Hm.

You've got a PM.

[Thursday]

Nah, you're probably just not a weird teen, like myself. You probably do things normal people should do, like talk on the phone.

[ALTRNTV]

PM sent.

I'm on the computer all day, I have a Sidekick
with unlimited text, so why not?

:)

[cdlong]

so you know you have to post up some of the weird/stupid/funny questions now, right?

[S13SilviaGirl]

I hate texting....I REALLY hate when I see assholes driving on the freeway while texting. Shit pisses me off.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

HOOK IT UP texting is all i do, i hate talking on the phone..

You just got PM and +rep

Pretty cool idea :bigok:

For sure. As far as guides go, it HAS to be done on a computer. But driving is a horrible time to text, talking on the phone is bad enough. Some people suck at driving.

and ChaCha is pretty cool, I use it all the time. If you ever have a question that google text can't answer ChaCha can most of the time.

[Future240]

200 texts a month is all I need. that too much actually. My bill starts over in 6 days and i still have like 100+ texts left. 50 a month is about what i would need, but [email protected] doesnt go that low. If i had unlimited though, this would be a nice idea to do when I am on the comp for hours on end

[exitspeed]

I would do this but my #2 button doesn't work right now. So I can' text anythign that has an A, B, or C in it.

And what if you don't know the answer?

[BustedS13]

how do you receive the questions? i'm on a computer for WORK 11 hours a day, might as well make some extra cash.

I must not have been clear. Haha. All replying to questions is done using your computer, and doesn't require you to actually have a phone, or texting for that matter. It's all web based, and no random people will get your phone number. All you need is a computer and web access. I think you have to use Mozilla Firefox too, but it's a free download, I'm not sure if they'd let you install it at work. Maybe.

You have to answer every question you get, but if you really can't figure it out, usually I just say I can't find an answer. Most of the time people ask lame questions like "Does she like me?" or "What's Michael Jordan's middle name?" But you can ask anything you want.

I was wondering the same thing

[BustedS13]

applied, and used you as a reference. i do barely any work at all here at my actual job anyway.

so how long did it take for them to review your application?

[tacotacotaco]

sweet randomness here i come!

[awesomenick]

I applied on a Saturday, and got my final "you got the job" type email Monday. A friend of mine did it all yesterday, and is already answering questions. So it varies how long it takes I guess.

[HyperTek]

hmm if i had texting id do it.. would help with gas like you said =p

pretty soon ur gonna be like "hey guys i got this new job where people call this 900 number and i pick up, its great all i do is talk about what im wearing or doing and i get paid while im browsing zilvia" lmao

[awesomenick]

You don't need to have texting! You don't even need to have a phone! All you need is a computer, that's what makes it awesome. You only need a phone if you want to use the service.

LOL. Maybe I should make myself a new 1-900 number... :naughty:

[VAs13]

how do you get the $$$$

[awesomenick]

They have two payment options, one you get paid monthly, and the other one you can get paid whenever you want to, but they charge you a $2 fee when you do it that way. With the pay me now thing, they send you a debit card, and deposit the money onto it. They have to have your checking account info to do the monthly, and you have to make $100 for them to do it. I'm doing the pay me now one.

[BustedS13]

really hope they give me this, it sounds pretty fun.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

I already applied so we just have to wait and see

[blueshark123]

how does the company make money? Im kind of lost

[turbo_dreams]

applied............

[awesomenick]

how does the company make money? Im kind of lost

I was told they make money because of the hits that search engines get. We are required to put a reference link in our replies, and we also use search engines to find answers. I'm not totally sure, but I know they do!

[ALTRNTV]

Just signed up to be a guide, and for the service. :)

[Somnambulist]

I got accepted as a guide and now I'm going through the testing stuffs.

[BustedS13]

I got accepted as a guide and now I'm going through the testing stuffs.

+1, i'm going to wait for my break to do the third test though.

edit: okay now i have to do the simulator test, i guess i'll do that after work.

[chibo]

It says I have 19 searches, but I have nothing as far as earnings. How long does it take for the earnings to show up?

[awesomenick]

You may still be on the simulator test. You won't get paid for that. If you log out, and log back in and searches keep coming, then you're an actual guide. The payment should show up immediately if you're a guide.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

Did anyone else get this or was i just to smart for ChaCha lol i failed

IN OTHER WORDS:

YOUR GRADE IS A F+ lol :bash:

:stupid:

[Fash00]

Pm me info please

[Rob's S14]

they make money off people texting them questions.

can you work whenever you want? for as little or long as you want?

[awesomenick]

Yeah, you can work whenever you want to. There's a minimum login time per month, but it's something totally ridiculous. I think you have to be on for at least 15 minutes or something? It's easy to keep your job.

[jh3xp]

Hey is it possible to lie bout your age? recquirements say you need to be 18 but i dont turn 18 for bout a month.

[MegasquirtCA]

no because this is legal. They use your tax info so they'll find out your not 18.

[wrapmeup2005]

Do you have to give them your ssn or anything? They will send you tax forms at the end of the year?

[Matej]

Can you make up the answers?

[LB.Motoring]

Can you make up the answers?


Hahah I wonder,

You could just ass out the system, answer every question "LOL Wut?"

[MegasquirtCA]

Do you have to give them your ssn or anything? They will send you tax forms at the end of the year?


Yes when they accept you they make you fill out a W9.

[awesomenick]

Haha, technically you can say what you want. As far as I know they don't monitor what you say. But you can be turned in for incorrect answers, etc. I'm not sure how that's done but yeah.

Also, you can't lie about your age. As stated above they use your SSN and make you do a W-9 for taxes.

[jh3xp]

Oo okay. How long does this invitation last? I think im just gona wait a few weeks till i turn 18 to fill out the W-9 and stuff. Cus i got the invatation but if i wait do i have to re-apply?

[awesomenick]

I have no idea how long it lasts. Haha I just work there.

[RurouniMidnight]

Yeah, you can work whenever you want to. There's a minimum login time per month, but it's something totally ridiculous. I think you have to be on for at least 15 minutes or something? It's easy to keep your job.

HAHA this is great lol.

[satal95]

[Matej]

[n240sxfnatic]

[awesomenick]

Haha sweet. I know a bunch of you got in because you're my "friends" on there now. I'm not too sure what that means, but it's cool!

[DreamN]

[n240sxfnatic]

[Leetheslacker]

[iROYAL]

[jh3xp]

I texted them just to see if they were legit lol.

[flclsteve]

[suislide91]

[awesomenick]

I text them all the time. haha. It's fun. A lot of people I know do it too. There's no shortage of questions.

[sidewayz240]

Hmmm, i'm guessing this is only for residents of the U.S? Seems like an easy way to make a quick buck.
