Earn Money by Answering Questions Effectively
Working in collaboration with the Google Adsense program, we share our advertising
revenue with experts who effectively answer questions on the site.
Useful Tips to Earn More Money
As an expert you need to answer each question for two different audiences in order to answer it effectively and generate the most revenue from your advertisements. The first audience is the user who has the immediate question and is looking for an expert to help solve the issue quickly and effectively. The second audience are the users who have the same question that has already been asked, and looking for a well rounded answer to resolve their issue. To be successful you will need to provide for both of these needs effectively.
Finding Out about New Questions
When the users ask new questions, the first step for you is to be quickly notified that there was a question asked that is relevant to your experience and expertise. This can be accomplished in a number of ways through Quomon, as we give you the tools to be most effective. The first tool that you have is the ability to subscribe to categories. Subscriptions allow you to organize a list of categories you would like to receive email updates on when questions are asked in those categories. This gives you immediate notification when questions are asked that you're interested in, and the ability to address them quickly. RSS feeds are the second effective tool that is used by experts to keep up to date on the system. As you browse through the site and different question lists, you are able to subscribe to those RSS feeds to keep up to date on what new questions are being asked.
Answering New Questions to the System
The users who ask the initial question are responded to by experts in the area of the Question Details page that is labeled “Answer Discussion”. In this portion of the site, you're able to submit answers to the question or ask for follow up information if the question needs clarification in order to effectively be addressed.
The goal of this process is to resolve the specific issue that the user is having at that moment in the quickest and most effective manner. An answers quality is evaluated by its timeliness, as well as the accuracy of the information and it’s ability to resolve the question at hand. These values are important when it comes to the distribution of points to the experts.
All expert contributions are evaluated by the user who asked the question, and the user distributes points to experts based on the usefullness of their contribution. If you receive the most points you are considered the expert who has submitted the “best answer”.
If you're considered to have given the “best answer” your ads will be displayed on that questions page, allowing you to earn money through the revenue sharing program. You will also be given priority for writing the Tutorial for that question, allowing you to maintain the ability to generate revenue through that question’s page.
Submitting Effective Tutorials for Future Visitors
Once the question has been effectively resolved, the system is focused towards users that have the same question in the future. This means to give future users the most comprehensive and relevant information to resolve the problem without any person to person communication. This is accomplished by experts writing a tutorial for those future users.
It is important that experts submit a complete explanation on how to resolve the issue in the most effective manner. These tutorials should be easy to understand and give concise direction on what the user needs to do to resolve their issue or a well-rounded understanding of the requested subject matter.
Submitting effective tutorials are the best way to generate long term revenue streams through the revenue sharing program. The best tutorial will ultimately determine which expert’s advertisements are displaying on that question’s page, eventually overriding the best answer submitted to the original question. Tutorials are constantly voted as being good or bad by the future users who need an answer, allowing the system to recognize the best long term answer for that question. Since the tutorials don’t quickly move up or down the list, it is important to submit the best answer in the Answer Discussion so you have the opportunity to submit the first ranking tutorial initially. As long as that tutorial is effective, you should not have a problem holding that top spot and generating the continuous advertising revenue through that page.
Get More Users to Ask You Questions
The more questions that are asked, the more questions you can answer and therefor the more revenue you can generate. We encourage you to put a link on your website or blog to your Quomon profile where you can display your expertise and they can become aware that they can have their issues resolved here. In your account settings area we also provide you with the ability to be asked direct questions through your profile, where you will be alerted via email about users who have specifically requested your expertise.
We also encourage you to spread the word about Quomon in general so users are able to see our site as the premier place to get their issues resolved, which will in turn provide you with more questions on the topics you are good at. We provide the Email a Friend functionality just for this reason so you can tell others about what we are doing here at Quomon.
