While there are paid staff that may answer questions on occasion, they are being paid for specific areas of work related to the site and its maintenance. And you can win prizes with the contests!
No. I am a regular person who loves answering questions. I do not pay a fee for this answer, you do not pay anything. I do not get paid for this answer, you do not. My job at WikiAnswers is to answer questions truthfully for you.
It depends on what you mean by pay. Contributors are not paid in cash for answering questions. That said, just answering questions is sort of a payment in itself. It can be satisfying to know you've helped other people, and it is satisfying to get to use your knowledge and share it.
Unfortunately, you cannot get paid by answering a question on answers.com. Many people may want to get paid if they answer a question, but you won't have that kind of luck here.
Earning SatisfactionNo, you can't earn money. What you can earn, though, is the feeling of satisfaction by giving good answers, and thereby helping those who're asking the questions. Other responses from the wealth of our contributors:Much to many people's disappointment, you cannot get money for answering questions (or any other contributions) on WikiAnswers; it is strictly volunteer work.NOTE:Community Assistants are the only paid members of WikiAnswers, as employees of the Answers Corporation.
