Quite a few sites want to offer people the ability to purchase knowledge and if you want to work at home, you could be answering questions for pay. People can buy answers online, they can view some of them for free, and they can get answers on their mobile phone, too.
If you’re looking to work at home and like doing online research, this could be something lucrative and enjoyable for you. Some sites offer revenue share and some offer paid services. Do beware that some places only offer pay if a customer is satisfied with your question.
Should you do a per question answering job or a revenue share option?
Up front pay might be what you’re looking for but be aware that revenue share options could result in passive income and might amount to more money over time.
Several Paid Question Answering Options:
Weegy

Askables
