Weegy get paid to answer questions & research!
Weegy is my favorite of all the paid to answer questions and research companies.
First off all they have the best pay rates. They also offer more then one way to make money. They aren't ask picky about how you answer the questions, this means that you can spend less time coping source links, less time spell checking, and more time making money!
You get paid .20 for each question that you answer as an expert. Questions range from hi how are you? to Solve this equation. If your ever not able to or don't want to answer a question you can pass it on without being punished like other companies. Users (customers) can rate you. The higher the rating the more questions you will get. It's easy to build up ratings. In my first hour of Weegy I received 3 ratings. Users can also select thier experts. So the higher your rating the more people will select you.
There are two other types of experts. Researchers and Pro's. You can become a researcher or pro when you build up enough points. You get points by leaving comments on coversations, in the archive, and blog. Researchers and Pro's get paid more per question!
Weegy also has a montly point contest. The experts with the most points per month wins extra money! I haven't worked there for a full month yet, so I will report back at the end of February when I try to go for being a top expert for the extra cash.
The question's are not back to back since Weegy is still a new company. Which is fine because I can work on other projects while I answer questions. I have answered 5 while writing this blog, for a total of $1.
There is also a referral program. If you refer a customer you get paid .50 and 20 points EVERY time they ask a question! If you refer another expert you get 20 points when they join.
Amount earned so far: $3 a day

ChaCha get paid to answer texts!
ChaCha is a mobile question answering service and search engine. They use real humans called guides, and also have automated responses. They used to pay in cash but that has recently changed to a points system. Before you could get your cash at anytime. The money went instantly onto a debit card. Once I cashed out 3 times in one day. Over the past year, the pay rate has dropped from $6 an hour to $2.50 an hour. This is the result of pay decreases, more automated answers, and increases in the amount of guides working. Instead of making cash, new guides now get paid via a point system. The points are put into a "guide share pool." It is then converted into cash at the end of the month. The problem with is that no one knows what those points are going to be worth! It all depends on how many guides are working and what ChaCha's income was for that month. So say your are an expeditor and normally make .02 per question. If you become a points guide, you will make 2 points per question. If you do 10,000 questions in one month (very easy to do), that would normally be $200 a month. Under the point system it could be $100 per month or maybe even $500 per month. The points system has both its advantages and disadvantages.
ChaCha themselves state that ChaCha is not meant to be used for a sole income. It's only meant to be used to make extra money. Most guides average between $300 to $500 a month. There is no schedule, you can work whenever you want. They are legit and do pay out timely. They are a great company to work for. However, there are a lot of other jobs out there that pay tons more! Your time is worth more than $2.50 an hour. I only work on ChaCha when I need quick money for a bill or I have else do to at that moment.
Amount earned: $20 weekly
