Internet is a great tool for finding information for free, but sometimes we end up with no results. If you are looking for an answer to some question, but can’t find the exact data you need on the web, this means that it was not yet created by bloggers, wiki editors or content writers, who like to hand out on various forums and discussion boards.

So how is such introduction is connected with free ways of making money online? Don’t you see the link between these items. If the questions to the answers are nowhere to be found, this means that there are websites for people, who want to get their questions answered, but for a small amount of money.

Lets reverse such a concept and you will see how easy it could be to make money answering questions online. Millions of people are looking for qualified help and you are are knowledgeable about something, why not use your brains and make several bucks for free?

If my previous words didn’t make you believe that get money for answering questions on the web is for real let me supply some good facts.

Lets assume that you need to find out the answer to the question – “How to make money for free by answering surveys?”, but where would you go, which websites would you use? Would you leave this up to the search engines, which sometimes show outdated results or low quality information?

I think you would refer to human wisdom, which could be found on plentiful niche forums and Q&A (Question and Answer) websites. These services will surely help you get quick information, usually from different sources and based on actual experience and if you are lucky you will get answers for free, but what do people, who help you, get in return?

In some extend they make money by answering your questions, they could refer you to a sponsored website or your question will eventually attract visitors to sponsored websites, all in all, there is a lot of money to be made by answering questions online, take a look at Yahoo Answers service, where thousands of people answer questions and get either targeted traffic or product sales, only by leaving questions to human answers.

Personally, I have been in this business for a pretty long time, answering questions could bring a lot of benefits, not only money benefits, but also brand popularity and traffic (awesome fact if you are a blogger, affiliate marketer or website owner).

The paid to answer niche has two large subdivisions, you can:

1. make money online answering questions by yourself (share your knowledge and get paid)
2. pay other people to answer questions by creating your own Q&A website (you don’t have to invest a lot in order to receive your first financial benefits)

Lets start with the idea of earning money answering questions by yourself. By using this work from home technique you can either – receive money to your PayPal account for every accepted answer; answer user questions and receive a revenue share according to the popularity of your answers or use answering questions for generating traffic to your website (traffic is targeted visitors, who can become your potential clients or can generate leads to your affiliate program links).

As you can see, earning money by answering questions is a pure free way of making cash from home, lets take some time to review websites, which pay money to answer user questions or problems.

Where to Earn Money by Answering Questions 4 Free?

If you belong to loyal readers to this make money online blog, you probably know about “paid to answer” category on IncomeBooster.org, where most of these websites are listed, but I give a brief outline of all sites, which pay money for answering questions or daily surveys (this is just list of websites and short reviews, please click the logo to check out the review of a selected Q&A website).
Mahalo.com is a free wiki-like website, where you can make money by both writing content, answering questions and editing their content website (proofread articles, add more stuff or leave the information you think to be appropriate). As for me, this is one of the best sites from this list, but it requires a lot of time and knowledge for you to get started (high level of English knowledge is required).

AceYourCollegeClasses.com is more of a website for tutors, but they are features for people, who want to get paid for answering questions. Most of the questions and tasks are connected with science, school or college stuff, so if you were good student, you can possibly make good money by tutoring online at AceYourCollegeClasses.

HelpOwl.com – Q&A website, which rewards users with special participation points. If you questions are highly ranked by users and site visitors, you receive more points for every question you answer. HelpOwl website covers a great variety of topics, which makes the earning easier. Points could be redeemed by special prizes from Amazon Store.

LivePerson.com – are you an exert in something? Sure you are! LivePerson.com is created for knowledgeable people, mostly Internet users, who want to earn good money by answering questions and assisting people with their requests and problems. LivePerson requires a high level of expertise, so there is a pre-screening process to be passed.

JustAnswer.com is yet another website for monetizing your knowledge and skills. Here you can answer member questions and receive money for every accepted answer (money will be deposited to your account, as soon as the customer is satisfied), take a look at this website, if you want to make money for free, but high level of expertise should be taken into consideration too.

AnswerGem.com – another website for experts to make money with. At Answer Gem members get money for answering special questions and if your answering is picked as the best, you receive your money right away. This website could be described to be pretty lively, because I have seen several questions to be added today, which is a great record.

Weegy.com is one of the most creative Q&A websites I have seen so far. Users can answer questions, the higher the question is rated, the higher chances of being displayed it has. If we speak from the point of a user, not expert, Weegy.com is an Internet robot-program, which is ready to answer almost all of your questions or requests.

WebAnswers.com – a good alternative to Yahoo Answers, but here members can get a revenue share for their time spent on this website. Your earnings depend on such factors as your activity, quality and rating of your contributions (if you satisfy users with your answers, you have higher chances of earning). Money are deposited to your Google Adsense account (this is an adsense revenue sharing site).

At Askables.com users get paid for such things as content writing and answering of questions. Askables website develops very quickly, this means that authors are having a good time on this site and get paid in time. Check out this service if you want to get paid for the amount of work you get done, not for the traffic (as with adsense revenue sharing Q&A sites).

Bitwine.com – is a popular website, where experts make money by answering user questions and resolving problems on the chat or over the phone (I don’t know if this offer is still available). But still, Bitwine.com is a sure working website for earning money online, it is free and easy to use.

PaidAnswers.com – not very active Q&A website, but I guess they still offer the “paid to answer” possibility, I am looking for user feedback regarding this website, hopefully it still functions well and freelancers can still earn money here.

Answers.Yahoo.com – actually not a paid to answer website, but this is the biggest and the most popular Q&A website ever. Great for generating traffic and affiliate sales, but don’t get caught by the moderators, it is pretty easy to be called for spamming. I did write several nice posts about making money with Answers.Yahoo.com, for example: Great Ways to Generate and Monetize Traffic from Yahoo Answers

ExpertBee.com (unfortunately closed) - was a good source for human wisdom, here experts provided a great variety of services. I wish this work from home opportunity was still available.

I have almost forgotten to write about the second way of earning money with Q&A websites, I guess I will show you how to set up your website of this type and make money with it in my future posts, because this one looks too big already.
