I got another new job last week but haven't had the time to post about until now. I am now a Mahalo Guru! I answer questions for Mahalo for $1 per question. If you remember my post about ChaCha, then you will remember I also work for them answering questions but I haven't done much of ChaCha in a while since I have other jobs that pay more and I enjoy them more than ChaCha. The thing about ChaCha is that it is really stressful since it is so fast paced and you have to be careful how you answer questions because you get graded on them. So I would rather do Titling and writing for Demand Studios and the other various sites I write for and now I answer questions for Mahalo. Answering questions for Mahalo is so much fun but you are not going to get rich doing it and here is why:

Each of your answers have to be 125 words long at least
You have to research questions if you cannot answer the questions from experience
You have to cite your sources

However, it is a fun little gig to have on the side and if you know the answers to the questions you are answering then you don't have to put too much time into research. You can answer any questions you want but I mostly do coupon questions because, to me, they are the easiest to research and answer.

I had to apply twice to get this job because the first time I applied I forgot to send them my writing portfolio. You don't have to have a writing portfolio but you do have to send them a writing sample. I waited over a week after I applied the first time with no response and noticed other people on a forum I frequent were getting accepted and I wondered why I hadn't yet. So I went back to the application and applied again this time with my writing portfolio and the next day I got my acceptance email! I was doing a happy dance!

When you first start you have to do a few questions and let them review your answers before you can work full time for them. They said no more than 10 questions at first. I did 3 one night, which took me an hour because I just started, and the next day I was going to do 7 more because I thought you had to do the 10 before you got in full time. Well the next morning before I even got a chance to do the rest of the questions, I received an email letting me know how good my answers were and that I was fully approved! The email was awesome because they said my answers were excellent, well researched and written! Made me feel good.

Anyway, if anyone would like to apply to answer questions for Mahalo, you can go to the Mahalo Guru application page and fill it out. You do have to submit a resume and either a writing portfolio or a writing sample. Good luck and if you get in, enjoy!
