			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thefrugalhome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/work-at-home-for-chacha.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1037" title="work-at-home-for-chacha" src="http://thefrugalhome.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/work-at-home-for-chacha-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>This is the one work at home job that I always come back to. Is it going to make me rich? No. Would it pay all of my bills if my husband lost his job? No, close though. Has it helped us get where we are today? A resounding yes.</p>
<p>I have written about ChaCha before, <a href="http://thefrugalhome.com/blog/2009/03/02/chacha-customer-service/" target="_self">ChaCha Customer Service at Home</a>, but I felt it deserved another article as it has been a lifesaver for us several times.</p>
<p>I mean it when I say this job has been a lifesaver. We have had several emergency vet visits, including one recently, that ChaCha has helped pay for. It has also helped us pay off thousands of dollars of our debt and has given me a fall-back income when another of my income sources dries up or has a slow month.</p>
<p>ChaCha only pays an average of $2 to $5 an hour, dependent on a few factors, I average about $3 an hour. I know some of you are thinking, seriously, $3 an hour? Yes. $3 an hour in which I do not have to spend money on clothes to go to a brick and mortar job, I do not have to spend money on eating out as I&#8217;m home, I do not have to spend money on gas, and I can work when I want for as long or as little as I like. I have made almost $500 a month and I have made 32 cents, it just depended on the amount of time I wanted or needed to put in.</p>
<p>This is a great job for stay at home mom&#8217;s (and dad&#8217;s, or uncles, or grandma&#8217;s!) or students who need flexible schedules. I know many moms who work at ChaCha who love it because they can stop working if their baby cries or if the dog pukes on the floor (this has happened to me. More than once!).</p>
<p>This is a legitimate work at home job. ChaCha always pays. You do have to pass a test. If you are serious about working for ChaCha, I suggest you take the test seriously as many people have failed it. Read and watch all videos they tell you to in your training.</p>
<p>Find out for yourself by applying at <a href="http://www.becomeaguide.chacha.com" target="_blank">www.becomeaguide.ChaCha.com</a>. By no means do you have to, but I would appreciate it if you would add my email address, <strong>realityrain78@yahoo.com</strong>, as your referrer. Just copy and paste it into the referral box. Thank you! Also, if they aren&#8217;t hiring at that moment keep checking back as they open and close hiring frequently! </p>
<p>If you have any questions about ChaCha please feel free to email me at the address above.</p>

Personally, I like this idea better myself! I have four dogs and they are not always very quiet. I also like to work with the TV on in the background and that is not very conducive to customer service over the phone!</p>
<p>There are sites that will allow you to work from home as a chat operator and all you need is a computer and a high speed internet connection!</p>

I am a <a title="ChaCha – One of my favorite work at home jobs" href="http://thefrugalhome.com/blog/2011/01/23/chacha-one-of-my-favorite-work-at-home-jobs/">ChaCha</a> Expeditor and I truly enjoy it.</p>
<p>ChaCha is a text service. You text a question or keyword to 242242 and a ChaCha Guide will send you back your answer. You can become a ChaCha Guide and use the internet to help people get the answers they need.</p>
<p>There are several different types of ChaCha Guides. You can be a Specialist, Generalist, Voice Transcriptionist, or an Expeditor. Each has different duties.</p>
<p>Being an Expeditor, I know the most about that Guide position. A ChaCha Expeditor takes the questions that have been texted in and clean them up then categorize them and send them to a Specialist or Generalist.</p>
<p>A ChaCha Expeditor makes less per question but we all make about the same per hour. I like seeing the crazy questions that come across and I enjoy the questions in which I learn something as well. Also, a ChaCha Expeditor gets to use a &#8220;Crystal Ball&#8221; to answer some questions which is also a lot of fun!</p>
<p><strong>Become a part of the ChaCha team!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/">Apply at ChaCha</a> It isn&#8217;t necessary but please add my email address, <strong>realityrain78@yahoo.com</strong>, as your referrer.</p>
<p><strong>ATTENTION</strong>: ChaCha randomly opens hiring. If they are not hiring when you visit, keep checking back, they may even close for a week and open hiring again.  My handle on ChaCha is realityrain so if you would like, you can add me as a friend or ask me any questions and I will try to help you.</p>
