Why, when I read this thread's title am I reminded of an X Rated movie?

After answering 100+ questions a Guide came through and said some of the responses were not formatted according to ChaCha's guidelines, so he reduced 51 of my responses from a 15 cent payment to 2 cents. What a tremendous waste of my time!

Their guidelines are pretty specific... are you following the guidelines?

I received an e-mail today from ChaCha. They have added a new role called an Expeditor. As a failed guide applicant I'm invited to re-apply for this new role. Here is their description:

And the pay "scale" with a 50% quality incentive bonus... :rolleyes:

$7/hour would be "expediting" a question every 10-15 seconds. I don't think so...

$6 bucks an hour sound okay. That's extra gas money but all I got out of it was $10 bucks. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

In order to make $6.00 per hour you would need to research and answer 60 questions per hour, that is one every minute, at the current rate of .10.

If you are considered to be a top guide, you could be paid .20 per question. However, you have to earn the status each week, to be paid .20 the following week.

About 100-150 people per week thus far, earn top guide status out of about 15,000 total guides.

The vast majority of people average between 20-40 questions answered per hour, and that is on a good day.
