8 Legitimate GPT Sites

Get paid to answer questions online may sound unbelievable, but it’s real! It may not be the best way to make money, but you can make some extra money answering questions and giving advice on the Internet. How can you get paid for answering questions?…Well, if you are one of those that family and friends go to when they seek advice and answers (which you are, since each one of us is good at something), you are in luck! You can in fact make a decent amount of money by giving advice and answering questions online.

Getting paid for advice may sounds crazy, but if you pause for a moment and think about it, it’s not that crazy. I mean, why do people pay a broker or financial adviser?… To get advice about a subject they are not familiar with themselves. Well, making money by giving advice and answering questions online is the same thing really, you get paid to give advice and answer questions.

A while ago, one night while I was sitting on my patio watching my dog play in the backyard, somehow an idea came to my mind “what if I set up a advice and answer site where you can help others by giving advice and answers while getting paid for it…”

So I started searching the web to see if there is anything like it, only to find out that I was a couple of years behind. There were already a dozen or so question and answer websites and they were quite popular. And yes people do pay to have their questions answered or get advice on something they are struggling with. If you think about it, it really make sense.

For example, if you could get some advice for $10 on how to fix a your car’s problem, wouldn’t you rather spend that $10 instead of spending maybe couple of hundred dollars to take it to the shop and get it fixed, not knowing if they fixed it right or it’s going to come a part ten days later. ?… I know I would! And I think for reasons like that, people are wiling to pay for an expert advice. Now, you could start your own question and answer site and make even more money, but creating a site and driving traffic to it takes a long long time and a lot of money, that’s if you even know how to build one.
