As some of you may know, I am a huge tech person. I love gadgets, computers, electronics etc. Back in the days, people that liked this stuff were called nerds and geeks. That was a time when it wasn't cool to be those things. Now it is hot to be a nerd and geek. This is probably a direct result of nerds running billion dollar companies like Google and Apple who end up being your boss. lol Now if you think about it, we're all a lot more geekier than we were a few years back. You probably have a flat screen TV, ipod, cell phone and use the internet way more than you should. Don't worry that's just a natural progression as technology invades our lives. But did you know that one of those gadgets I mentioned can make you money? Yes the internet can make you money. But that's not the one I had in mind. Let's talk about your cell phone or if you're like me, your super cell phone also known as a smart phone. I use to have a Treo and later upgraded to an iPhone. I love my iPhone. Talk about smart, yes it can make phone calls but it does so many more things that I never imagined a cell phone can do. But even though my cell phone can pretty much do everything my laptop can, the biggest feature I use is texting. And I know darn well I'm not the only one. Let's keep it real. How many of us really like yapping on the phone anymore when you can easily send a text message to someone? Yes, I know it's viewed as impersonal for some. But for the most part we're all getting accustomed to it. There was also a time when people thought phone calls were impersonal. But that's obviously changed.

What's The Point?

The point to all of this is that as new technology becomes more widely used, the more opportunities there is for folks us like us to make money with it. Text messaging is a great example of this. Apparently there is a company known as KGB that is offering the opportunity to get paid to text message. Let me clarify some thing. This KGB isn't associated with the Russian secret service and the text messaging that you'll be doing isn't "adult" oriented. I know dirty texting aka "sexting" doesn't necessary jive with many of you. So now that's out of the way, let's get into the details.

  2. I have been a specialist and vetter. I have been on chacha for 4 years. I still do it when I have time. the only difference is they now use paypal and you can cash out anytime and you get your money the same day in your account.

  4. Kgb isn’t a scam, I was an IC there for over a year. However, as they added overseas employees that started taking most of the work it become hard to even make $1 an hour. I have worked at ChaCha for about 18 months, also not a scam. They pay either monthly once you hit $100, or you can get a debit card through the Bank of Indiana and get paid whenever you want. I have the card because I like instant gratification lol.

  9. I checked out Cha Cha, signed up and watched the mandatory videos.  I was interested in being a Generalist/Specialist, but they made me a Vetter.  They warned me that I could only take the test once so I should be ready.  I put it off til I was rested.  Before I took the test I got an e-mail congratulating me for being accepted as a Vetter.  I also started getting e-mails about them having a “high volume alert” and a “red alert”.  I went on Firefox and downloaded the toolbar as required.  I spent a couple nights fielding questions.  The first ten were my “test”.  The answers I had to choose from were up to three years old and some were rude.  I found it fun just the same, but frustrating since I didn’t seem to be making any money.  They pay a half cent per question to Vetters.  The questions come non-stop so you are tied to your computer and cannot multi-task at all, on your computer.  I read some of their forum and people are complaining that they have taken “Duel Roles” so they could add Vetter work only to find that all they get now is Vetter work.  Sure they have contests and offer bonuses, but you have to Vet 1600 sessions to get $1 bonus.  I was up to 50+ sessions an hour so do the math.

    I’ve since gone to kgb.  I like the feel there much better.  I took their test and felt quite good since I got mostly 100%, but I failed the math.  (Been a long time since I’ve had any math classes.)  Their message was encouraging – you’re so close you should take it again.  I looked up a math formula I had missed, took a break and took the test again.  This time I had lower scores but passed the math.  You have to pass all the categories.  Then they ask you why you took the test, fun or for work.  If you’re looking for work you then have to give them more information and an idea of when you plan to work.  They then tell you you’ll receive an e-mail within five days.  Two days later I got the message of congratulations, but we don’t need you just yet.

  10. Laura,
    I have to respectfully disagree. Online most companies provide you with various choices which include, paypal, direct deposit, check or even in some cases debit cards or all of these options. I’ve worked with enough companies online to experience many of these options. So it’s not common for only providing one option. Even if offline when I worked for the man they always gave us the option of direct deposit or checks.

    I personally like direct deposit or paypal because I don’t like waiting for my money. lol But I do agree sometimes companies may not have a wide range of payment choices because it is more work and does cost more money. So no argument there.

  11.  KGB is absolutely not a scam. It is 100%  legitimate  business.  I made a nice pocket change – had I had more time to invest in it I could have made more.  I easily made $20-30 a day sometimes. (downfall, they only pay once a month where you can pay yourself multiple times a day on ChaCha if you wanted)  It’s not easy work but it’s not super difficult either and you do have to schedule yourself into time slots to work.  So it’s flexible in that you choose when you work, but inflexible like ChaCha where you can just jump on when you have an extra hour to blow through some questions.  For me, being a SAHM, the scheduling thing just didn’t work for what I needed.  What I like most about it is you can choose what you want to answer vs ChaCha who sends questions to you automatically.  They pay about twice what ChaCha does as well.  They’re agents are better trained and screened and they do ongoing evaluations of your answers to make sure you’re adhering to their policies &  procedures  and not just sending BS answers.  You also get the opportunity to take questions from the UK, which I found really interesting seeing what other countries asked questions about.  Mostly they were train schedules.  No one seems to own a car in the UK.  LOL

    • Hi Cheryl, I’m a bit confused and read this twice to make sure I didn’t somehow miss something, but which company are you talking about pays better than ChaCha. You mention KGB and ChaCha, but it makes it sound like you didn’t go with ChaCha due to pay as well as it was more interesting but it also sounds like you didn’t go with KGB due to the scheduling, so who was it that you ultimately went with?

  13. Hi hgil, Where do I find information to join a virtual call center? I’ve been looking for something like this for some time now and can’t find any legitimate resources. I’d certainly appreciate your help.
