ChaCha

I had a question from Zach over at http://ducks2nucks.blogspot.com/ and http://evanztories.blogspot.com/ about how to get a job with ChaCha. (For those of you who don't know, ChaCha is a service which you can text  questions to, and they will answer them for free. Text: 242-242)

The process is simple, really, just go over to http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/, fill out some info, take a test (or two? Sorry, it's been awhile) and they'll send you some email, and if you do well enough on the tests, then you can become a guide. I'm just an expeditor (unfortunately, since Expeditors get paid pretty poorly; only 2 cents per question answered) but there are other positions like Generalists and Specialists, who each answer questions that require more research and get paid 10 cents per query.

Anyways, I haven't really done a lot with it lately since I've been focusing more on blogging, but it has potential to make money, especially if you're just sitting around the house and you want to spend that time learning trivia while making a little change. I will note though that I've done the math, and if you want to make 6 dollars an hour, you have to answer a question every 12 seconds; once every 8 seconds for 9 dollars (USD). So yeah, this could be really profitable if you can think quickly, but not so much if you aren't answering questions quickly (which is really bull, because 4 out of 5 times I text in, I get some bogus answer because the expeditor didn't take time to actually think about my question). *All these calculations are based off of being an Expeditor; I was not fortunate enough to make position of Generalist or Specialist*






Sorry about not being on a lot lately; I rarely have time any more... My schedule is pretty crazy. And it doesn't help that a certain imbecile who probably has sex with farm animals in his spare time and enjoys lying has been harassing me lately. But anyways, thanks for everyone's continued support!


Oh and while we're on the topic of making money, Here's my FreebieJeebies link! See this previous post if you want more information. Remember, credit for referrals aren't given unless you do one of the offers! (And it's really worth your time to do so; if you can get other people who follow your blog to do the same, then you could get some pretty sweet swag for little cost)

I'm Back!

Well this has been quite a hectic week, but now that play's over with, and it's looking like I'll actually have some free time again! Anyways, they have this contest coming up where you get to direct your own play, and I think I'd really love to do that... Just not sure what the hell to write about. Of course, it would have to be funny as hell since everyone I know would be watching it.


Did I mention Steve Martin wrote it?


On a side note, man I really need better ways of making money. ChaCha doesn't pay out that much, and I'm currently trying to be a KGB agent. Any ideas? Though I guess I don't have it too bad, seeing how a good friend of mine doesn't have a place to say since her brother broke the roof, leaving asbestos all over. Hmm I hope she doesn't get mesothelioma... She'll probably need one of those aforementioned silly lawyers.

A Short Hiatus

Hey guys,

I'm really sorry to all of my faithful followers, but I'm not going to have any time at all this week for blogging due to the theatre production that I'm in going on this weekend, plus my already hectic schedule.

I'll be sure to have Sunday and I'll be back and updating then.
