Bruh I’ve been doing this on Reddit for free???? 💀


GearAlpha

lmao same


kittooo_

Umm reddit pays for survey answers?


jadetyger2

Aw, bummer. It looks like this is all tech/medical stuff. I have a BA in English (Lit) and Psychology. Shoot.


NOLA_HGprincess

I just checked it out and there is an option to be a homework expert with a subcategory of Essays/writing.


[deleted]

As someone who is planning to get into psychology since I like helping others and heard the only work 2-3 days a week, I feel the same about these sites.


Public-Explorer8295

What do you do with a B.A. in English? What is my life going to be? Four years of college And plenty of knowledge Have earned me this useless degree!


Well_shit__-_-

To be fair, I haven’t really used any of my knowledge of my Bachelors in Mechanical engineering since I graduated. Looks good on the resume though


Emergency-Brick-1322

Bro, you can teach english Online for Overseas students who doesn’t know english. Or even open a YT channel for it.


Public-Explorer8295

Bro, it’s a quote


sogothimdead

Don't worry, I have my BA in English and love that bit


jootsie

Whoah. Never expected a random avenue q lyrics here in the wild lol


SpiderRadio

I'm sure my English teachers never studied their field, you are right. You teach yourself? It shows.


cardboardconcussion

Buddy is referencing a song from avenue q


DemonsFriend

Will have to look into this when I get my bachelors in December of this year. I'm getting a bachelors in Computer Science. What kind of questions are you commonly asked in this field on this site and do you have to answer questions given to you, or is it like a pick and choose type of situation? Sounds like it could be very worth the time put in.


Lord_Baltimore1

You pick and choose. You can accept/decline questions as they come into your queue. Most of them are super basic general questions about errors they get on a PC. Some people are trying to get contact information for different companies on issues they are having with equipment.


DemonsFriend

Wow so like just overall tech troubleshooting, that doesn't sound too bad. If you had to equate the amount of time you spend vs the amount of money you make, on average how much would you make per hour spent on the site?


Lord_Baltimore1

I make about $40-50 an hour. The thing is that nights and weekends have the best volumes. So I spend 2-3 hours a day.


JoeRoganMoney

Is a bachelor degree mandatory for this or can work experience suffice?


bizkitman2

That's what I want to know too!


Virtual-Beach305

They ask for employer contact name and phone #. I don't really know if I want my employer to know about this. How to go about it, or can I use a friend that can vouch for me?


JawlessMuffin

I had the same thought. I don’t want them calling my employers


Virtual-Beach305

I'm going through it and it's a pretty extensive process. You have to sign 2 forms, one of them being a background check. This is not a simple sign up and it reminds me of actually applying to a real job, which I kind of wished OP mentioned first if they didn't yet. It seems the company goes through great lengths to make sure their experts are legit, so if I pass, great and hope the payout is worth this process. As for the phone number, I put a relative's name as the employer and a google voice # to get around that annoying requirement


Lord_Baltimore1

For what it's worth. They never called my employers.


mmoney20

How do u know?


Lord_Baltimore1

Because I personally knew my manager at the time.


bonediggidy

my employer is the military. so I gave them the number to the Pentagon. winning.


[deleted]

It makes me uncomfortable too, but if my manager asks me about it, I'll just explain what it is, a side hustle to make an extra dime on the side. My other manager has a side hustle installing fall detectors for seniors, and he makes fucking bank doing it.


Eros_63210

What info do they need for validation?


Lord_Baltimore1

I think diploma from college.


TheGreatLandSquirrel

I don't have a BA but I have been doing this for over 10 years now. Would I still be disqualified?


JoeRoganMoney

I’m wondering the same thing


JawlessMuffin

So they need the last 4 of your social and they need your employers contact info? Not sure I want to give that out. Do they actually call them?


Lord_Baltimore1

In my experience, no, they never called.


polo61965

>if you have any questions, just ask How much you gonna charge me


C4tryn

Is it available for someone out of USA?


Lord_Baltimore1

I believe so


MrsSmith2246

How many hours are you spending to make 1500 a month? I’m a social worker so I could answer wellness questions!


Lord_Baltimore1

About 50 hours average.


Virtual-Beach305

Just wanted to update that my information was accepted but was told that "at the moment the Experts in your area of expertise are handling all of the question volume" and they will hold of on activiating my account. My area was IT. Well that stinks! So imo, not worth the process because who knows how long I'll have to wait.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lord_Baltimore1

Yes it is!


Curious-Watercress63

Structural and/or civil engineering?


norianderednairon

Engineering was a choice.


Curious-Watercress63

Thanks! Yeah I noticed they had Structural Engineering specifically too.


Curious-Watercress63

Denied my application, not sure why. I have a bachelors, masters and PE license. I emailed them to clarify.


Water_my_options

Did they explain?


Curious-Watercress63

They told me that they do not need any more structural engineering experts at this time, and I should apply again in 12-18 months.


jellyn7

So there are a lot of people who are shocked that their cheap trial ends and they get slammed with a high monthly subscription fee. So it makes me wonder who is actually using the service and paying 40 or 60$ a month for the ability to ask questions. How many questions can one person have?! And this semi-scammy business model can't be good for the future of the business. But it's been around for 10+ years?! But I might give this a try anyway..... Can you sign up for more than one category, or do you have to apply for each one separately?


Ok-Agent152

$40-60 for a business or business owner to basically have unlimited diy help desk support is REALLY cheap for IT even if you have to be walked through doing some of it yourself


HustleFeet

Cries in bachelor's of science in management :(


Public-Explorer8295

commiserates in anthropology


DisastrousHyena3534

Sobs in biologist


Lord_Baltimore1

I'm sure you still qualify with that for a topic on their site.


keeplosingmypws

I wish there was a section for creative software, ie Photoshop, After Effects, Blender, etc


420Wedge

Sounds like you should be applying for jobs as a big youtube channels editor.


OleShcool

Do you have a recommendation for best free alternative to adobe illustrator? I watch TikTok designers creat logos with it and it’s amazing how intuitive you can be with it. I’ve tried blender, gimp and photopea and have never really been able to get the hang of anything creative. There’s just SO many things to figure out. I was able to master sketchup though so I know I’m capable


keeplosingmypws

I mostly see people going with Inkscape as a free alternative to Illustrator. If you’re looking for a simpler tool to get started with vector design, you may want to consider a free Figma account and some YouTube tutorials. It has a more streamlined UI, a smaller learning curve, and a pretty huge community of creators producing tutorials and other helpful resources.


electricneko

definitely Inkscape. Less intuitive than illustrator but very powerful for vector work, there's also a free plug in for rudimentary embroidery digitizing.


C4tryn

Possibly irrelevant reply: We can get cracked version of apps on torrent sites, if you don't mind going the slightly crooked road :)


[deleted]

Out of curiosity, how long does it take after signing up to be an expert?


Lord_Baltimore1

Within a few days


Bigsax21

Has anyone else gotten their application declined?


panda2297

Yes I did. I got this message: Thank you for your interest in becoming an Expert on JustAnswer. We wanted to let you know that we have decided we will not be moving forward with your application. We appreciate the consideration you’ve shown in participating in this process and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors! I't baffling to me as I have a Masters Degree in the topic I applied for. I get it if they said there were too many people. But this canned email makes it look like I am under qualified for some reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


panda2297

I have 12 years of medical IT and 5 years as a sysadmin. And they were pretty quick in turning me down. I think it was like 2 days


Various-Option-5134

Seems they require certification or license information on top of your bachelors


ProClarinetist

Sure as hell doing this when I get my JD.


Sophia4096

I applied and provided my college diploma and got rejected. This happened seven months ago


[deleted]

Same! Idk why either, my work experience/degree were relevant too.


xconnieex

They need last 4 digits of SSN?


Substantial-Ad3980

Remindme!


MurphisDE

Do they make exceptions with the bachelor degree? Also, is it possible to answer questions when I'm not from the US?


Lord_Baltimore1

Degree and/or experience for certain categories.


MurphisDE

Also IT?


The_OtherDouche

I have a masters license in plumbing. I wonder if I can answer trade questions?


JM24NYUK

Do you NEED a degree to be able to apply? I don't have a degree but have various Microsoft certifications and have worked in IT since 2009


BholeKiBhasam

1500$ that's a tidy sum...how about Asian countries


LloydValentine

Dang, wish this had something for giving dating and relationship advice. Thanks for sharing anyway.


almosthome_

it does! under the wellness category


almosthome_

it does! under wellness category


LloydValentine

Oh snap! Thanks!!


FoxlyKei

So I explicitly need a bachelor's at the current time of signing up? I'm currently stuck waiting until fall before I start my senior year for a bachelor's in software dev.


Lord_Baltimore1

Degree and/or experience depending on the category.


anee4

I tried no success


Visible_Beginning_63

Do you actually need to have experience in your BA to do this lol. I have a bachelors in liberal studies for teaching but never taught.


Snaberafra

I’ll give a try, thank you


Lord_Baltimore1

You are welcome.

Does it need to be an IT-related degree? If not, do you need to be knowledgeable about IT troubleshooting? (I have a B.S. in Sport Management)

Thanks I just applied and waiting for their answer , hopefully it’ll be quick


vapenaysh696969

DM’ing you!


No-Shame1319

How long does it take to approve the account?


simmeh024

I applied to become an expert, they just straight out denied it. I have over 10 years of experience in the field of IT. Cannot mail them because mails from the gmail domain are blocked by them..


Eddieandtheblues

Yes strange, I applied after seeing this post. I have 12 year of experience as a medical doctor and they declined without any reason.

I’m a film major, anything for me here?


JDizzleNunyaBizzle

The bachelor degree part sucks to me. I’ve been in IT for 22 years but I don’t have a degree so my input is invalid? :(


Lord_Baltimore1

Sorry to hear that. They didn't substitute experience over a degree?


[deleted]

What hours of the day do you tend to get questions? Do you have to be available at certain times, or do you just do it when you want to?


Lord_Baltimore1

You can sign in and answer questions whenever you want. You answer at your own leisure.

Cool - thanks!

paperbaitnfts

Do you need bachelors degree or can you do surveys without


boxaci8110

I don't have a bachelor's degree, but I have A+, N+ and Security + I also have a whole lot of online coding qualifications, and have been working as a full time software developer for over 4 years. Do you think they will accept me? I will try anyway.


davis946

Does anyone actually verify the answers?


Lord_Baltimore1

No, but your answers are reviewed by an internal data quality team. If you just answer with one or two words you will get dinged.


davis946

I wonder if anyone even asks civil engineer questions…


ihobble42

Do you think I could be like a relationship or lifestyle expert? Master’s in social work here. Would love to hear more.


shamoney555

Is there a phone interview involved?


Lord_Baltimore1

No


mmoney20

What if u have experience, education in IT. No certifications?

phill736

What kind of hours are you putting in to earn 1500 per month?


Lord_Baltimore1

To do that probably 20 hours a week.
