Getting paid to answer questions is an exciting way to make money because it allows for one-to-one conversation, so you can customize your reply to the needs of the person asking, providing you a chance to learn in the process. I want to share with you some best practices to assist you generate income answering questions.

Your bio is your flyer The website you've chosen to answer questions on will usually let you create a profile. This is actually your marketing pamphlet. It has to have the ability to sway people to offer you cash for answering their question. Also ensure you include your field(s) of competence using typical wordings so customers will have the ability to look for you with the search engine using the keywords they know.

Alternatively, create articles on the site where you are answering questions. Your content is essentially an illustration of your depth of knowledge on the subject. Ensure your content is not too shallow, you'll come across as if you are faking insights.

And so read the question well and make sure your response hits all the right notes before hitting that send button.
