As a paid guide, you can be one of the many human beings, answering questions. It's a legitimate job, not some sort of scam. These folks have worked out a whole structure for trained guides to answer questions for money.
I did it for a while, and I did manage to accumulate better than minimum wage, especially during high-volume periods late at night. You have to be an ace googler and fast typist or at least copy-pasteist. Takes a while to get used to the whole thing, and to learn the various Chacha rules. But it's one way to make extra money in the off-hours, with just a browser and a good internet connection. |
Thanks, UT! I looked at the site, and it could just possibly work for me. My friends tell me I'm a great Internet researcher, plus I'm a night owl available for any extra night work. My typing isn't great, but I do nice cuts and pastes if I do say so myself.
I wonder about my Internet connection after what my computer did to the Cellar.
Anyhow, I'll sign up and let you know how it goes!
To Lookout et al - I simply don't have the money - literally - to invest in objects to re-sell. I lack the eye, too. Probably I could do it with books, but no one here has any books to speak of and the online outfits seem very well aware of the value of their volumes.
To HLJ, people pan for gold around here, too; but I've never heard of anyone finding much. Maybe there's more in your part of Colorado.
Thanks to all for your replies!
