The human-powered mobile answers service quickly captured seven percent of the mobile text search market with a quarterly growth rate of more than 800 percent.
INDIANAPOLIS – September 17, 2008 - Accepting the 2008 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation, ChaCha announced that it now has more than a million users and has answered more than 27 million queries since it launched its revolutionary mobile answers service in January. This, combined with its quarterly growth rate in Q2, makes ChaCha the fastest growing mobile search service, surpassing both Google and Yahoo in both WAP and text-based search growth rates (according to the latest data from Nielsen Mobile).
ChaCha increased its market share in the U.S. mobile search market to seven percent, tying for second place with Yahoo at the end of June 2008. ChaCha also exited the quarter with an 800 percent growth rate, compared to Yahoo’s 200 percent growth rate.
“Mobile search is growing at an incredible pace,” says Chris Quick, mobile media analyst with Nielsen Mobile. “Within the mobile SMS search category, ChaCha is the fastest growing service, increasingly competitive with other mobile search providers. We’re therefore keeping very close tabs on how ChaCha will affect the mobile market.”
“After reviewing numerous operators in the mobile search and advertising markets, we believe ChaCha offers the most compelling service for mobile users,” said Vikrant Gandhi, senior analyst for Frost & Sullivan. “The high level of interest demonstrated by the number of queries ChaCha answers on a monthly basis clearly indicates that mobile users are finding the service to be of real benefit. We’re delighted to honor ChaCha for their innovation in breaking the code in mobile search through their search methodologies and practices.”
“ChaCha is honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan as an innovative and unique service that demonstrates outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership and technological innovation,” said ChaCha CEO, Scott A. Jones. “In the past eight months, we’ve cemented our position as a mobile search leader and now every 10 seconds a new user tries ChaCha. By offering a superior solution in an explosive market, we are attracting the best partners to leverage our unparalleled service for mutual benefit.”
Recently, ChaCha also launched its mobile marketing solution, ChaCha 1:1, and is partnering with premium brands including Coca Cola, Fifth Third Bank and McDonald’s to implement engaging, conversational and highly relevant mobile marketing campaigns.
ChaCha merges sophisticated search technology with the power of human intelligence by leveraging its growing base of over 35,000 Guides to answer customer queries 24/7 by simply texting a question to (242 242) or calling (1-800-224-2242) from virtually any mobile device. This radically simple solution has allowed ChaCha to achieve its industry-leading growth performance.

WHAT IS CHACHA?
I am a stay at home mom who has spent the last year searching for a good, steady, legitimate work from home job. I'm not looking to get rich quick. Heck, I just need living money. I'm sure many of you that are reading this are in the same situation.
One of my friends happened to introduce me to a forum called "Work Place Like Home." I signed up anonymously as Blue Baby and just started rooting around and reading. It was great! These were people just like me looking for the same things I am. There were people there who had found legitimate jobs and of course some that were still looking. I looked up a bunch of the jobs and though they were legit, they were mostly telephone customer service representatives. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, don't want to do it again!
One day I saw a title of "ChaCha" on the forum. I leave no stone unturned so I decided to check it out. The business is called ChaCha and what it is is a human-powered search and answers service. Guides for ChaCha deliver answers via text or PC, anytime, anywhere, any question. Any one from any cell phone and any mobile carrier in the United States, can dial 242242 (chacha) and ask any question whatsoever. Also called a query. ChaCha Guides research the question through the internet and return an answer.
New Guides make .10 cents per Question & Answer (Q&A) completed for the first thirty days. After the first 30 days if you have met ChaCha's quality requirements for Top Guide you will be moved up to .20 cents per Q&A completed. To maintain the .20 cent rate, you must complete 200 queries per week and maintain a 95% or above accuracy rate per ChaCha's Quality Control Unit. If, however, you don't have the time to do 200 queries in a week, you will still be paid at a rate of .10 cents per query. Each week starts a new chance to become a Top Guide. With ChCha you make as much as you want when you want. I work in my p.j.'s sometimes and others while I'm sitting outside on my swing from my laptop and you can find me on at weird hours during the night. I can work whenever I choose!
Can I just go ahead and say how much I LOVE this job!
Finally, something that is making me steady money while working from my home!
A few have said it doesn't sound like much. To that I say I stay at home with my kids. I can go up to my kids' school and work in their classroom. I'm at home when my kids get off the bus. I don't pay over $4 a gallon driving to and from a job. It's all in what your priorities are.
This is not and let me repeat NOT Multi Level Marketing (MLM)!!! Been there done that also. ChaCha does give you a reward for bringing other people on board as fellow guides but the reward is only for you for those directly under you. Payment on one line, that's it! ChaCha rewards you 10% of each Q&A of any members you personally bring on Board. If one of your Guides that you brought on board is at the .10 cent pay level for a week then you will receive .01 cents for every Q&A that they complete. If your Guide is at the Top Guide pay level, the .20 cent level, then you will receive .02 cents for each Q&A that they complete. It's such a great opportunity that you will want to share it with all of your family & friends who might be in the same position that you are of needing a little extra money.
If this sounds like something that interests you, feel free to visit ChaCha at www.chacha.com and click on Become A Guide. If and when you sign up if you will use my email: lcraftonavon@bellsouth.net, I can help you through your initial training and test taking process. Without using my link I won't be able to help you. I'm having so much fun at this I love bringing others on board!
The question I get most often is, how many questions can you do in an hour or in a day. My answer is you can do as many as you want. There are no fees and no commitments.
Some Guides do 50 questions a day, some do 350 questions a day. I know of one person that does 2,000 a week. Wow! (We have to have a life sometime!!!!)
Your typing speed and ability to use your Google search bar greatly effects how much or how many Q&A's you do.
You will end up having a ChaCha toolbar on your computer. When you want to work you click "Available" on your toolbar and when you don't want to work you will click "Away."
People with any mobile phone company will text questions to ChaCha. The question hits ChaCha's server and goes out to a handful of Guides who are available. A doorbell rings. You either answer it and take the question or if you don't answer it the question will go on down the line to the next Guide that is set to Available.
Again, go to www.chacha.com and click on Become A Guide. That will not "commit" you to anything. It will take ChaCha 24-48 hours to send back an invitation to you at which time you will complete more info. It will not cost you a single dime to sign up and there are never any fees, whatsoever! That's a beautiful thing!
ChaCha is looking for quality people so they have 3 initial quizzes that you have to pass before you can move on.
To show you what a real and great company this is, we were just one of the major sponsors of the recent Nascar Brickyard 400 and the popular X Games and there is so many more exciting opportunities in the future.
ChaCha continues to win award after award for this new human based search engine.
ChaCha is a free service to all mobile users in the United States. Only standard text rates apply.
I can proudly say that I am making money from this legitimate stay at home opportunity and unlike a lot of other programs, I've actually been paid as well!
Check the comments section for testimonials from some of the Guides I have brought on board so you don't just have to take my word for it!
