I made about $30 total for the evening
What is your average time on a search? How long did it take to make your $30?
I signed up days and days ago and they still haven't emailed me to take the test. I tried signing up again and it said that they had already gotten my application and would review it soon. :-(

I dont know which payment option to choose. Im a little confused.
I read somewhere in that guide that you get $2.00 taken out everytime you check how much you have made(or something like that?)

I signed up for this too. Thanks Aviendha for posting this :) I have already taken the first set of tests and passed those now I am nervous for the simulator test. I have read everything so I should be good, I just gotta make myself do it.
About this pay cut. Does it take effect if you get the test done before 11:59 tonight? Or do they count it for after they grade it?

It is there like a Yahoo or Google toolbar. If you watch the videos and look in the top left corner, that is the toolbar that will be on your computer.
Here is the video link of you want to see.

:( What makes you say that?
The recruiting, etc. There's no up front costs so that's really cool though... so maybe I was just being cynical. Carry on!

No. Your simulator test must be approve by tonight to skip the apprentice pay.
They sent me an email inviting me to complete my registration and when I clicked the link it said it was an invalid invitation.

There was a new notification saying that you only need to do 10 sms queries for the simulator, so I did 10 last night in hopes of getting in before they decreased the pay, but when I got up today (it's too late) they sent an email to me saying I need to 5 more. Damn that sucks.
fancygirl
07-17-2008, 04:46 PM
I just did extra because there was a couple of screw-ups so I wanted to make sure they had the best representation of the messages when I got 'em right.

I dunno. i did 5 questions and then the site froze. i might log in later to do the other 5. the questions came super slow though.
i was getting kinda bored waiting for questions.
:(
jennahoff
07-17-2008, 06:46 PM
Ok i finished the 10 questions. These 5 went alot faster than the last 5.
I guess now i just wait for that email...

Read the forums. They have been having issues with this today.

I've already posted in the forums. Yea, there are having some bug issues. Hopefully I'll know something within the next few days.
I don't think I ever actually "took" the simulator. I dunno. :-\ I do know that I answered 31 queries.
Peanut_Butter
07-17-2008, 09:40 PM
It says in the forums to clear private data, log out and close all windows then log back in...I did this and was able to start recieving query's again, although the system has slowed down again so I logged off. Might be back on later in the night. Made $19 today. Much faster than yesterday.

07-17-2008, 10:11 PM
It's going super fast tonight! During the day the questions come in very slowly.
Peanut_Butter
07-17-2008, 10:54 PM
I noticed that this evening was major lag-oh-rama. It finally cleared up after midnight. I made about $30 total for the evening, but it's a good thing time wasn't an issue. They keep updating the servers, so hopefully that'll improve peformance.
Oh, one trick: if your query rate slows down, log out and log back in. It'll pick up again.
How many hours a night do you usually do this?
jennahoff
07-18-2008, 06:23 AM
clear private data??

Was the simulator pretty easy?
I'm gonna do it in about an hour here. Maybe less.
virgoamm
07-18-2008, 11:12 AM
^^It's easy. Just MAKE SURE you don't use Wikipedia as a source page.
I'm curious...So if people can fail the Fitness tests and sign up again with a different account and go on to be Guides, if you fail the Simulator test can you do the same thing? If not, that's bullshit.

This is the closest I've ever come to playing games in years (last time: arcades when I was 13). I spent 20 minutes doing this today to decompress and it felt like gaming.
I set my keywords and categories to all things sex and medicine, and the resulting queries are hysterical.
Peanut_Butter
07-18-2008, 06:25 PM
Thats my catagories too...last night I got a query " Are you rockin out wit ur cock out?"
LMAO

^I give a lot of advice on masturbation. People have many questions about it.
Peanut_Butter
07-18-2008, 06:30 PM
I haven't gotten masturbation questions, but I did get 3 query's yesterday that just informed me that he was going to masturbate. I jut responded with good luck! have fun! Once I was feeling silly and i linked to a page abotu strange hand....when you sit on your hand to make it numb so it feels like someone else...

Some questions about STDs are heartbreaking though.

Damn. I failed the fitness test. How many can you get wrong before they fail you? Because that math one threw me off. I guessed.
Peanut_Butter
07-19-2008, 01:00 AM
YAY! I made $50 in 3 days! :-\
this sure ain't stripper money, LOL.
On the plus side, if I keep up that pace, its $480 a month. That's not bad. Car payment and insurance plus some gas money. I'll take it. I know some people would kill to make $480 in a month. ( And to think, I used to bitch when I couldn't make $480 in a night. How perspectives change when you retire or burn out....) Speaking of which, going in to dance tomorrow night. I hope I make more than $480! LOL. ChaCha is fun and a productive way to spend my evenings. And I'm learning all kinds of neat facts

07-19-2008, 01:07 AM
Dudes and dudettes, it looks like I failed..Im' freaking shocked! I don't think I'm going to take the time to re-test and all that. especially now that's it's .15/message.
Also, I dunno if any of you read this but for those getting the debit card from the Indiana Bank, make sure you are constantly putting money onto your account. I think it read something like money needs to be added at least once/month or they will deduct $6.

07-19-2008, 01:39 AM
I just started taking queries tonight. I can't tell if I'm getting paid or if this is the simulator test. I'm looking at my profile and I've logged about 7 queries. I'm just going to keep going and check in with my account to see what my rate becomes. Is it still pretty ambiguous whether or not the simulation test actually has ended? How do you know?
Its moving pretty quickly tonight, btw.
Peanut_Butter
07-19-2008, 02:22 AM
^ You don't. Just answer 15 querys and log out and wait for the email telling you that you passed and are ready to start making money. If it's your first time takign query's, then it's the simulator test. You'll know when your making momney because yuo can check your earnings..btu that won't happen until after you recieve the email

I still don't know what happened with my account. All I know is that I was taking the fitness test, got to the last page of questions, and the site timed out. And then when I tried to re-sign in, it said my account was suspended. Maybe because I used the back button when the damn thing froze?
CuriousSeeker
07-19-2008, 03:33 AM
YAY! I made $50 in 3 days! :-\

I made $2.40 in 2 days lol. But, that's the cost of doing one of my fav weekend things: sitting in a bookstore, looking through all the new stuff, reading, and having a cup of coffee and bagel.
ETA: Obviously, I didn't put in much time - just enough to goof off, which is fine with me.

I just asked "how do you get a stripper to fall in love with you?"
The answer I got back was "The same way you get anyone to fall in love with you. You have to spend time with her, and connect with her emotionally."
Did I just get connected with a stripperwebber?
jennahoff
07-19-2008, 03:22 PM
Ok so im a guide now and currently made 7$ since yesterday.
I probly devoted an hours worth of time so far but i dont know.
The system always seem super slow and it freezes up alot.
Maybe its just me but i dont see how i can ever make even a little bit of money.
Hopefully things pick up.

Thanks so much for this! My bf got laid off last week and started working as a guid a few days ago! :)
It's not enough to earn a living alone, but he's making minimum wage and it doesn't interfere with classes or studying :D
AlexxaHex
07-19-2008, 06:59 PM
$7 since yesterday? $50 in 3 days? I'm glad they didn't accept me. lol

I've noticed that the site's more consistent in the daytime than in the evening, since usage picks way up and slows the servers down. I hope they upgrade soon.
I've been averaging about $40-50 a night. Which, yeah, ain't stripper money--but on the other hand it's not retail hell money either! I pop in a DVD, log in and by the time the movie is over, I'm $25 richer. There are definitely worse ways to spend my time. I've made about $400 so far (I started a week ago Thursday) and hope to close the month at $1000.
hardkandee
07-19-2008, 08:35 PM
^Yeah, I've been getting about $40 a night too. Not bad for checking up on facebook and reading SW. I used to do it for free!
Did someone from here just ask me what a pole cat was?!?
