Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Internet connection
  • Experience with online chatting and discussion forums
  • Resume
  • Step 1:
    Step 1: Find chat boards about subjects you are interested in or passionate about. If you could care less about information technology, you probably would not make a good chat room moderator for an IT chat board. On the other hand, if you love scrapbooking, consider getting involved in a crafting or scrapbooking chat room.

    Step 2: Prepare a resume highlighting your Internet and online experience. This is particularly important if you are seeking a paid chat room moderator position.

  • Step 4:
    Step 4: Do a Google search for current chat room job openings in subjects that interest you. Apply for those positions. Even if they are volunteer positions, consider applying to gain experience until a paid position becomes available.
  • Step 5:
    Step 5: Get actively involved in several chat rooms about subjects that are of real interest to you. Chat daily whenever possible. This way, when a position does open up, you will be known as a regular "chatter" and someone who knows what they are talking about.
