ChaCha!

Okay, we all know that with the economy in the shape that it is in, it's difficult to find a job sometimes. It can also be rough on a family with only one parent working because they can't afford daycare (so the other parent could have a job as well.) Enter in ChaCha! ChaCha is a cell phone service where people text in questions and live representatives answer them. For instance, someone might text in "What's the weather in New York?" A rep would then respond with the forecast. If you go to their website (click here) and scroll halfway down the page, on the left there should be a link where you can sign up to become a rep. All you need is a computer with a decently fast Internet connection and you need to download Mozilla Firefox (click here.) You will need to go through a little bit of training and you will need to pass an exam on the ChaCha site. I had no trouble passing. ChaCha Guides (your job title) make anywhere between 2 and 10 cents per question answered, which doesn't sound like much but it really adds up. I found that I could make roughly $5 an hour, more if they were running a special contest for guides, which they do a lot. So it isn't three figure job, it isn't even minimum wage, but it is something that you can do on your own time whenever you want to and make a little extra money, and we all know how much a little extra can mean when you have to choose between eating or paying the electric bill. To get paid, you can choose to have a debit card sent to you which you can reload with your earnings at any time, but it will deduct $2 from your account every time you do that, or you can choose to have them directly deposit your earnings into your bank account once a month. Anyway, it's something you can do at night after you put your kids to bed for a couple hours and make a little extra cash. When you sign up, you can enter my guide name (butterflymkm) and we will both get a kickback for it. In any case, happy earning!
