I tried signing up a while ago - Can't complete my training because I can't see the video. They say to upload Flash - I have the latest version and still nothing happens.

ugh!

Hippy Dippy - about how many hours a week do you do this? Are you getting that card, or enough for a direct deposit?

How long have you been doing this?

I guess I'm wondering what it's really like, and not the web page version.

Thanks, Angie

I do it about 50-60 hours a week. This is my only income for right now so I put a lot into it. I've been on ChaCha about a year now. I've got the pay me now option which is the debit card they send you. I like that better than the pay me monthly (direct deposit) because I don't like getting paid only once a month LOL

I signed up and got to the page that tells me that I am a Generalist but it won't continue from there. It keeps trying but eventually just quits. Any suggestions?

Hmm that's weird. You can send feedback to headquarters to see if they have a way to fix it.

Yea I'm having trouble getting some videos to finish. Maybe I'm in download timeout. I wouldn't think so because it's only me on the net and I don't download anything. This sucks.

Heather,

How's it going? I finally got all my videos watched and am ready to take my test. I am totally terrified to start.

Hi all -

I'm now a ChaCha guide!

I won't be working too much, but at least it will give me a little bit of something I can do from home.

AmyLou - it's not hard, but I was a nervous wreck too!
I have now done about 15 real live answers! it's fun and I'm learning stuff....and I've already earned money.

What kind of money do you make vrs the time you spend at it? I know the more time the more money but if it takes 15 minutes to make 5 cents, IMO, not worth it. Thats only 20 cents per hour.

The $$ you make depends on the type of questions you answer -
more technical questions make more money

I have made $3 so far, which doesn't sound like much, but I think I spent Maybe 15 minutes total

The good thing is that it's something I can do at home in my spare time

Another good thing was that the sign up & training was all absolutely free

Do they take out your income taxes before paying you or are you responsible for it at the end of the year?

You are an independent contractor with them so you are responsible for all taxes.
