Smartypants wanted!
Jul. 4th, 2008 09:28 amSo there's this free answer service called ChaCha... you can send a request via phone, web, or SMS for just about anything that can be smooshed into 160 characters (if you're curious, give it a shot: call (800) 224-2242, text 242242, or visit http://www.chacha.com). I tried it, said "Hey, I bet *I* could do that!", and decided to apply for a Guide position.
This job is like crack for me! If you enjoy traversing the web to discover obscure facts, you can join the Guide team and get paid for it. It's not a huge windfall — .20 per answer — but it adds up as you get faster. I think I know a LOT of people who would also enjoy this, and decided to put it out there.
Full disclosure, Part 1: There's a proportion of queries that are considered jokes, but we still have to answer them as seriously (albeit lightheartedly) as we can. There's also a goodly number of people who ask for sexually related things, like how to enlarge their genitalia, or how to properly administer fellatio. Directly obscene or
hate-related queries can be aborted, but if you get squeamish at the thought of explaining what a Boston Pancake is in modern slang, this job probably isn't for you.
Full disclosure, Part 2: If you decide to become a guide and allow me to be your sponsor, I do get a "finder's fee" of some sort (I'm not quite sure what it is, but it doesn't come from your income). If you choose to allow me to be your sponsor, you'll need my work-related email address for referral: klsabin@tmail.com. You certainly do not have to list me or anyone else, though, to become a Guide.
(Apologies to the NPLers on this list who already got this via email... I just wanna spread the word!)
