ChaCha search engine???

I thought it was a humor or entertainment site but I was surprised to find out that it's actually a search engine. And there are actually people who claims that they are making money using it.

Any idea anyone?

Well some people actually claim that it is a scam but I'm not sure. It's quite popular but I never bother to try it anyway for fear of getting cheated.

Just wanted to say that I have been a ChaCha guide for almost two years. Its not a scam and a great way to make some money from home in your spare time. If you want to learn more and want an invite just send me a pm. Thanks!

Hmm..rather than sending a pm why not explain to us your experience and how does the program work? I'm sure forum members here would like to hear more about it before deciding to join.

Yup, why don't you just share with us at here. I think no need to sent you PM because if you said this program not scam why are you afraid to share with us.

For me I am always suspicious of programs that pays you to search and the extravagant claims of big earnings are highly suspicious and not verificable.

I used to ask the same question to other ChaCha users who claimed they've made a lot of money using the program but until today, whenever I ask them to provide proof of payment, none really responded.

I tried this when it first came out. You have to do mock searches and some real searches before they will hire you for pay. I didn't like this I did it for one month and was on for hours and never got to the pay status. I contacted them and asked them why and they sent me a e-mail stating that companies can't give all their secrets to a successful business. At this point I decided not to participate anymore, I figured their secret was to convince people they could earn money and then not really ever have to pay them. At least this was my personal experience.
