^ I don't know. I thought I did fine.

3/9/2009 8:46:01 PM

What's with still getting questions even when I set my status to away? I'm getting that shit constantly this morning.

And damn I look busy at work while doing this shit.. ahahha

3/10/2009 8:13:42 AM

^ I don't know, that has never happened to me before. But I have read in the forums about it happening to other people. Try refreshing clearing the cache (Tools-Clear Private Data) and reloading the page.

^ you are killing the $.20 Math questions dude. I wish I was decent at math, they pay the most.

3/10/2009 9:26:52 AM

for whatever reason Travel/Mass Transit is like .20 too isn't it?

I'll stick to science questions for .18 haha...st00pid math

3/10/2009 9:30:58 AM

Yeah, I get a lot of Science questions in the morning as kids are rushing to finish their homework. Whenever I get them during the day, I can't help but think that I am helping some High School kid cheat on his Biology test.

NASCAR and NHL pays more in the sports category for some reason. I think I get $.15 for each, and only $.10 for other sports. They are just as easy to answer, mostly just score updates.

3/10/2009 9:34:48 AM

Yeah the math ones have been a mix of everything I can think of.. pretty interesting actually. I've been doing a sales job since getting an engineering degree so my brain is liking actually doing some real math again for once lol

3/10/2009 9:43:01 AM

I'm up to almost $20 today just messing around this morning before anything was going on and during the last part of lunch and an extra 30 mins or so somewhere in the day. Questions coming in as fast as I can answer them and most of them lately are math questions that you can solve with google or another online solver. Def easy money.

3/10/2009 3:08:17 PM

Yeah, math is the way to go. They pay the most because there aren't a lot of Math specialist guides. If you have it figured out, keep at it! $20 in a day just in your free time is pretty damn good. You should easily be able to make $80 this weekend.

3/10/2009 9:31:45 PM

what's everyone's current rating?

3/10/2009 10:20:20 PM

I'm at 100%.

3/11/2009 9:31:30 AM

100% last time i checked

3/11/2009 10:29:12 AM

80 currently. I was at 100 for a while, but I got two or three for "presentation". I guess that means it was worded weird?

3/11/2009 10:42:40 AM

I expect I'll be getting docked soon. On several of them yesterday I forgot to change shit around to make more sense after I copied/pasted to the answer box

3/11/2009 10:50:14 AM

I dropped down to 91% last week for accuracy, but I disputed it and got it reversed. It was for a fucking sports score that I literally just cut and pasted from the team's website, so there was no way it could be inaccurate. Anyway, it got reversed. So the moral of the story is: make sure you check your scores because they are not always correct.

3/11/2009 10:57:56 AM

i always see some peoples crappy answers when I'm answering someone else's questions. Sometimes I read them and I think a 12 year old wrote the answer.

3/11/2009 11:03:10 AM

Yeah, I actually gave someone a bad score on an anal sex question the other day. It was obviously a broad because she basically told the person asking the question that anal sex is evil and no one should ever do it. She went on to say that it is always painful, yada yada yada. Just because she has had a bad anal experience, doesn't mean that every woman does.

3/11/2009 11:11:30 AM

I got a 70% on this for Incorrect Presentation...why is it wrong?

Question - How many points did shaq score against the lakers last?

Answer - Shaq scored 33 points to help beat the Los Angeles Lakers 118-111 on Sun, March 1. Kobe won't let it happen again ChaCha!

The only thing I can see is grammar and leave out the smiley. They don't like smilies for some reason. I would have written it like this:

3/11/2009 11:19:00 AM

jesus if you got 70% for that I'm screwed lol

3/11/2009 11:20:12 AM

Yeah, that's pretty nit picky. But at the same time, I get 100% on some really absurd answers. So I guess it evens out.

3/11/2009 11:37:22 AM

Three days and I'm up to $60 dollars. Not bad!

3/11/2009 3:11:09 PM

yeah i'm at 30ish on day 2. haven't had much time to mess on there today though. i wish they'd just give me math problems..those are the best

3/11/2009 3:19:23 PM

I've been getting almost all biology and chemistry questions today, which is pretty standard during the week. All the sports questions pour in on the weekends.

3/11/2009 3:21:42 PM

all mine are weird, about getting girls to like me, and punching women. Weird.

3/11/2009 3:31:41 PM

Yeah, I get a lot of those too. They are only $.10, but they are really easy to answer.

3/11/2009 3:43:33 PM

lol i keep getting stupid ones like "where am i at?" and "why doesn't monica like me?"

i'm not sure how funny/dirty i can get with answers so i just say something like under my bed and because she's dating your brother, etc. lol

3/11/2009 3:54:00 PM

^ it depends on the category that they come in as. If they come in as "xplicit", then you can get dirty. If not, then keep it clean. Keep in mind, most of those questions come from kids.

3/11/2009 3:56:22 PM

should i appeal my shaq one? will it hurt me if they dont reverse it? like when teachers say you can bring any questions up but if you are wrong i will take 5 points off.

3/12/2009 12:24:18 AM

I'm that I'm missing out on this

3/12/2009 7:39:02 AM

^^ yes, I would appeal it. It's a blemish on your quality rating so it's worth a shot

3/12/2009 1:31:03 PM

This thread was VERY helpful to me when I first got started. It will answer a lot of your questions in regards to how to give a correct answer.

http://forum.chacha.com/showthread.php?t=52455

3/12/2009 5:08:08 PM

how do you dispute it?

3/12/2009 7:47:22 PM

Copy the entire question and answer from your guide quality rating screen, including the date and time.

Go to the KnowledgeBase and click on Feedback

In "Message Type", select "Quality Feedback Request SMS"

Start off the message with something like "I would like some clarification as to why the following question did not receive 100% accuracy. I believe I answered it completely, and I have checked my cited source for accuracy. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated"

Then paste in the info you copied from the quality rating screen and send it off.

It will probably take them a couple days to get back to you, but 9 times out of 10 they will give you the 100%

^ wow, thanks. I am going to look into that. Sounds like it's basically advertising sales.

3/13/2009 12:52:02 PM

has anyone got their money in hand yet?

3/14/2009 12:11:00 AM

I'm still waiting on the debit card. It got delayed because I changed addresses so i had to fax their bank a copy of my driver's license with my new address on it. I guess that's a good thing though, because it would suck if it ended up in the wrong person's hands. I should have it by the end of next week. My goal is to be at $300 by then.

Did you do the debit card or the direct deposit?

3/14/2009 9:52:19 AM

haven't done either. bank of america has a student account thats free to open and has no min. balance so i think i am going to open one of those and then just do direct deposit. i don't like the $2 service charge bc then I feel like i wasted 20 questions.

3/14/2009 1:21:13 PM

Yeah, I will eventually do the direct deposit as well, I just wanted to make sure I could easily make $100 a month first, which I can. They don't direct deposit unless you have at least $100.

Just a heads up though, it is really easy to switch from the debit card to the direct deposit. Apparently, changing from direct deposit to the debit card can be a pain in the ass.

3/14/2009 1:43:14 PM

dammit. my quality rating is down a bit now. they picked out a few questions where i really did do a shitty job of answering them.. i mean i searched for like 5 minutes on some of these but they were obscure shit about a bus route in some random ass city. i found the maps for the bus routes but could not find times anywhere. guess i should have just hit abort or whatever but tried to answer it anyways

3/14/2009 2:55:05 PM

it's ok, they expect your quality rating to be kinda shitty for the first month or so. You will catch on. my quality rating my first week was like 81% with 78% completion. Completion is the key, and I didn't realize that hitting "Abort" affected that. Now that I know I have been consistently in the 95%-98% range. Completion is big with them.

3/14/2009 3:22:34 PM

I hope they start looking for guides again soon. I love easy money.

Anyone know of any other online jobs like this. I remember seeing ChaCha on CNN a few years ago.

3/14/2009 5:17:56 PM

They are accepting new expeditors!

[Edited on March 14, 2009 at 5:39 PM. Reason : expeditors not guides]

3/14/2009 5:24:29 PM

I have been back to back all day, it's been awesome. Averaging about $8 an hour. I am sure they will open up new guide registration for the summer at the very latest.

so are there any threads/advice on what to do if you just CANNOT find the answer?

3/14/2009 6:39:28 PM

^ search the guide forums. there is TONS of advice in there. and if all else fails, just ask the question in the "new guides" thread.

3/14/2009 8:17:21 PM

any info on being an expeditor?
