Hsien Hsien Lei of Cottontimer pointed me to a web money-making venture recently. She writes at ChaCha.com: Human Guided Searches:
Started by Scott Jones, the inventor of voicemail, ChaCha provides both traditional search and a guided search depending on your choice. It’s like IM with a purpose.
Hsien also quotes this from an InformationWeek article about ChaCha.com:
ChaCha plans to pay its guides by rank, based on the number of hours spent answering queries (time spent idle isn’t paid). Yet it’s not a professional salary. The ChaCha Underground has four ranks: apprentice (not paid until 10 queries have been successfully answered); pro ($5/hour); master ($5/hour); and elite (the top 20% of guides who’ll earn $10/hour). Additionally, guides who sponsor others as guides earn 10% of what their sponsored network earns.
If you want to check it out, you can email Hsien for an invite (say I sent you!)* or you can visit ChaCha’s Guide Registration page.
*UPDATE (4 Oct 2006):
Hsien says Goodbye, ChaCha.com. (Read her comment below for more info.) So, no more invites. Also, since I’m not part of this programme, I’m unable to answer any direct queries about this. Please contact ChaCha directly for your questions.

i never heard about cha cha guide…
Ok, so heres the deal. I’m currently a ChaCha Expiditer. You make .02 cents per question although it adds up pretty fast. I’m not going to say that it’s alot of money, but it helps if you need it. I currently make between 40-60 dollars a week, although I don’t sign on as often as I could. If you decide to apply, it really really helps if you have a referral email. I failed the test the first time, took it again with a referral email and passed. You can use my email if you want, it’s angelrock_222@hotmail.com . Good luck!
Here’s the site you apply at! http://becomeaguide.chacha.com/
Keep in mind, you have to be 18 years or older and have a computer with internet
I would be willing to pay anyone who is willing to pass the Cha Cha readiness exam for me.
