I know you may be thinking how the heck can you make money by answer questions? Is this even possible?
Not only is it possible, but I have been earning a full time living from doing just that for the last 3 years.
In that time, I have made lots of money by answering a wide range of burning questions that people have had on a variety of different topics.
Today I want to show you a way to make lots of money from being on the opposite end of something that you likely already do on a daily basis and might not even realize it.
By the time you’re done reading this article, you are going to learn how you can make money hand over fist by simply answering people’s questions and pointing them in the right direction just like I have done.
I will be recommending the place that has helped me become as successful as I am today and providing you with the exact blueprint that I followed when I first started.
Where Do You Turn To When You Have Questions Or Are Looking For Help?
If I asked you this question 15 years ago your answer would likely be different, but in the year 2016, most people turn to the internet to find the answers that they’re looking for.
I find myself Googling something almost every day and I usually do this without thinking about it.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 20 years then you know that millions of people are utilizing the sheer power of the world wide web to get travel directions, the weather forecast, and showtimes for the latest blockbuster movie that just hit theaters.
Did you know that people also turn to the internet to get the greatest deals on their favorite brands and search for reviews on the hottest gadgets on the market before making a purchasing decision?
If you are a bargain hunter then chances are that you have probably done both of the things I’ve mentioned above.
What Kinds Of Questions Will You Have To Answer?
There are over 2 billion people on the internet on a daily basis who are looking for information and asking questions about thousands of different topics.
What I like about this opportunity the most would have to be that you can pick and choose what kind of questions you want to answer based on some of your hobbies and interests. Pretty sweet ain’t it?
Fo example, let’s say that you have an interest in 4 wheelers and you build a website that helps other people who are also interested in 4 wheelers but have questions about them.
You would need to do some keyword research to get a good idea of what questions are being asked about 4 wheelers and find out how much competition you’re up against.
Once you gather this data you would need to write a post targeting the question and writing a thorough and in depth answer to this question.
Check out the screenshot below to get a visual of what I’m talking about
As you see above there seem to be lots of people asking where to buy 4 wheelers as well as where to buy parts for it.You could write up a detailed post on your website answering this question in detail and point them in the right direction where they can purchase one at the best price.
Take a look at the words in bold and notice how they match my search query. When you type something into Google they scan their search engine database and match you up with websites that have the keyword you typed in their title.
How The Heck Do I Get Paid Scott?
Since these people are already in the buying mode and are looking to spend money this is where you can seriously cash in and make some cold hard cash. Nowadays you can buy just about anything online and there are thousands of online retailers looking to increase their sales and drive more customers to their site.
Why not step in and offer to help them out? Not only will you be helping them increase their sales but you’ll also be compensated very well for it. It’s a win-win for everyone! First, before you can start making money you’ll need to register for something called an affiliate program. Once you have registered you’ll be assigned a unique affiliate id that you will need to put on your website in order to get paid.
Once people read your article, like what they’ve just read, and would like to know the best place to buy it at, they would click on your affiliate id link. Once they do, a tracking cookie is planted on their browser. You’ll earn an affiliate commission when they buy anything through your link.
Chances are that whenever you have purchased something online somebody, somewhere has earned a commission. As a matter of fact, over 1 trillion dollars was spent online in 2015 with this number expected to nearly double by 2018.
Isn’t it about time you got your share of this money?
How To Get Started
Obviously, there is a whole lot more involved than just answering questions and getting paid but this should give you a general idea of how you can make some serious cash by answering people’s questions and pointing people in the right direction.
Instead of me explaining how all of this works I would rather direct you to the place that has taught me everything I know today and is responsible for me being so successful in the online world.

Hi John,
Thanks so much for dropping by and sharing your thoughts on this topic of conversation. There are many misconceptions about making money online and if you would just focus on helping people and answering their questions you will start to see the money coming in. I have also been running my business for the past 3 yrs like this and it has served me well.
I have had many jobs over the years and I wouldn’t trade affiliate marketing for anything else out there. In my opinion, no there isn’t any better way to earn a living than by helping other people. Pretty cool if you ask me. Thanks again for stopping by John and for sharing this with your readers.
I hope they find value in it and that it helps them out. Cheers, Scott
