ChaChassembly! by Justin

Yesterday we celebrated our highest traffic ever.

The day before that we celebrated our first Guides getting paid.

The day before that we celebrated the installation of our brand new, top of the line espresso machine (which may actually be better than both of those combined!).

Lots of other things happened that aren’t very interesting to other people, but were huge deals to us here at ChaCha. Over the last few months we’ve made incredible progress with our system and our Guides. Our Guide base has grown tremendously as well- we have over 7,000 registered Guides and now that invitations for new Guides have opened back up (Hooray for Andy for getting that working!) that base will be expanding exponentially. Not only has our number of Guides exploded, but our number of employees here at ChaCha has as well.

Is that not a fine looking group?

Let’s take a sentimental little jaunt back through ChaCha’s history.

Third ChaCha Company meeting 05/06
Between this time and now, we were way too busy to take any pictures, let alone look as handsome as we usually do. So instead of pictures of the group, here’s some of us sleeping at work.

Believe you me, there were a lot more people asleep here and there, but I was usually asleep at the same time.

    Ahhh, reminds me of the old days at some S.V.’s old start-ups, EXCEPT it wasn’t as comfy.
    Keep it real. I’m rooting for ya!!!!

  4. This is a great idea! Since I am a bit older and I am in sales, I like the idea of having someone to
    assist me. I have mentioned it to my son and he has emailed you. so of course i hope he gets a job as a guide! lol. We are starting over since my husband died. I have already mentioned your type of search engine to a few people. Their reaction is the same as mine.
    I wish you the best of luck!!

  5. Thank Goodness for that Espresso machine!!

    Where can I get a cool CHA CHA t shirt like spider man?
    I am a master guide and think this would be a great way to advertise my new adventure!!!!!!!!!!!

    I knew taking naps on the job was a perfectly sound idea. Keep up the good work - and sweet dreams.

    Congrats to ChaCha!!!! The future is looking very bright. Thanks for bringing me on as a Guide. I think that this is going to be the perfect job for people that are disabled (like me). I am basically housebound right now, so when I am not doing my college classes online, reading email, trying to raise my three teenagers (twin boys - 16, girl - 13) I plan on spending a lot of time here.

    Good Luck Everyone!

  9. *Looks at the napping duo and pouts* and all I had when I took my naps was a dumb old teddy bear … !!

    finally…I’m getting all the spidey references!

    Somebody was thinking…..Cha Cha is a wonderful idea, so many people out there need/want information but don’t have the time, skills or knowledge on where or how to access it.

    Others simply have better things to do ..”ZZZZZZ” LOL
    I think ya’ll are great and hope it takes off like a rocket. Sounds like that was a well deserved nap,
    Count on me to be doing my small part on spreading the word, ChaCha

    Hi Guys, I did see the gma spot and it was very nice. What a great way to receive some publicity. I am looking for a job from home and I am so impressed with ChaCha. I sure hope I can be of assisstance to you as a guide. I am also starting over and a bit older than probably most of you but if chosen as a guide I know I would be in great company. Congrats to you all at ChaCha.Good luck and I will certainly help get the word out!!!

    ChaCha looks and sounds very interesting. I am older and want to put my laptop to work and thought this might be the place to do it. I need some supplemental income and if I can be of help to others, that would be terrific. I hope ChaCha succeeds!

    Hi guys! I am so excited for you and myself, and looking forward do doing my part as a Guide. I can only imagine the blood, sweat and tears being expended during this first major challenge. Congratulations on the concept, and the huge effort putting it together. Hang in there, keep working, keep the faith - it IS worth it, you WILL succeed. I would love to be a part of the support group - where do I send my application?

    Man, am I glad to know I’m not the only senior citizen in the group. Also, So glad to have the chance to be a part of something miraculous before I go to the great search engine in the sky. Excuse me, but when did sleeping on the job become acceptable??? This is definitely a different, but stupendous, world you’re sculpting for all of us guide groupies. Somehow “thank you” does not seem sufficient.
