Matt’s Journal

A clever guy named Justin Wickett with a little help from tech guys sets his Twitter account to turn off the lights in his house by sending a text message to his Twitter account.

Last week I was browsing around MoneySavingExpert and came across a company called Texperts. Texperts are a mobile search company who pretty much answer any question you fire at them, you simply text a question to a specified number and they reply in a few minutes with the answer you need!

Anyways, to cut a long story short, they have a quiz on there to see if you are good enough to become a Texpert. They ask you questions on a chosen field and you try to answer them within the time limit. Me being the geek I am, I ended up with around a 90% score, meaning I would be put forward for the chance to make money working in my spare time for Texpert.

I received an email today telling me just that:

Dear Matt

Well done! Less than 2% of people pass our Tex-Factor challenge.

Because you passed the challenge, I would be delighted to be able to
offer to engage your services as a Texpert. Unfortunately, we are
experiencing a 2 month wait for our training programme. However, I
would be grateful if you would let us keep your Successful Application
until the next available slot in a couple of months time (hopefully
less). Please let me know if you are happy for me to get in touch with
you and I will keep your details. If I do not hear from you I will
assume that you are no longer interested or it is not convenient.

In the mean time you also have the privilege of joining an exclusive
Facebook club. Only the elite 2% who pass the Tex-Factor are allowed in
to this group, so join us and be a member with pride!

I hope to hear from you soon.

Looking it up, you can make between £6-10 an hour, which would definitely help pay the bills! As it reads above, I have to wait a while but it’s something to gloat about for the next five minutes!
