Answering questions and getting paid (authenticy and monetary gain?)

Hi!

I learnt from my search on Internet that:

1. There are sites that pay to answer questions.
2. You need to answer questions raised by students.
3. Anyone can sign up and start up.

But does it really work with respect to:
1. Surety in monetary gain.
2. Authenticity

Your guidance is superior to pearl.

Thank you and best wishes,
Ekta

Pearl, or no pearl. Don't think you can look for guidance here. You must find out on your own. Just the way we all do.

Yup they are good and they really pay. Though they cut around 18% of the bounty you charge for your work and then 30% tax on your earnings for your source of income being USA.

WB! Use your accusations that I am involved with them as well... That's how your posts have increased...

You seem to think that your mindless, barely understandable, ESL ramblings are worthy of the time that it would take me to belittle you with a reasoned response. You're wrong.

You are slightly amusing, however. You make me laugh.

QA PayOne of the users here recently signed up for a similar account at a company and is currently running around dazed and confused about the payment policy of these companies.

I tried to have a look at other similar assignment response companies online and their payment systems are really confusing.

As in, you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out the confusing method of points, awards, rewards, and payments that they make their educator participants jump through hoops in accomplishing before they can even get a payment credit for their account.

Somehow, I feel like these companies are a different form of scam.

One that evolved from the academic writing mold. This time, direct responses are given, but the payments are just as difficult to get from the company. The companies cannot be truly authenticated because they don't even list a US address half the time.

Sure anyone can sign up and get started, but making the money then collecting the money will be a totally different ballgame altogether.

For some reason that sounds like me. Fortunately, I got to understand how Enotes works. However, upon understanding, I decided not to work for them mainly because they seem to think the points/rewards would be more important than the money. I won't leave the company, I'll just have it on hold for a rainy day.

@RandomRandom glad to hear from you buddy! I apologize for not remembering your username in reference to the situation. I would like to thank you for giving us an update regarding the situation that you had with the company. It seems to me that they are playing a con game here and whoever lasts the longest at the company ends up on the losing side. It is good that you managed to figure out that the payment policy is not on the level and that you have made the right decision regarding your participation on their site. I hope that you can find an alternative to their company in the near future. It may be best for you to steer clear of these sorts of companies for now. They seem to be proliferating on the internet, preying on the writers who want to try to spin off into another academic related career. I hope that putting Enotes on hold for a rainy day pays off for you in the future. I wish you the best of luck pal.

These so-called homework assistance websites are the newest scam to hit the freelance writing business. It's picking up in popularity because the service cons the writers into thinking that for as long as they respond correctly to a question, the payment will come in. On the contrary, the student has the option to pick the best response out of all of the answers posted for any given question and then decide which response they want to accept as the correct response or, as in the case of a mathematical problem, the correct mathematical equation solution. The writers then end up battling each other regarding who provides the most complete response to the student. All for pennies or a dollar per accepted response. This is a waste of a freelance writer's time because it takes too long to gain anything monetarily from the work system.

I read an article the other night about how the WFH situation has resulted in scam companies sprouting overnight. They entice workers with simple tasks and quick earning. The answering questions site being one of their venues for drafting unsuspecting job seekers. Looking into the sites listed in the article, I noticed that the earning manner is really left vague and confusing to understand. I think this is intentionally done because the people form the 3rd world are more focused on the amount of compensation rather than the clarity as to how that will be earned. These are the people who suffer the most from these fly by night earning scams. Answering academic questions, is one of those "work for free" scams, as I choose to call it.

The job is too easy. The money offered as compensation is unbelievable. When a job does not even as you to do an interview or provide a simple resume, you can expect that it is a scam. It is not authentic and there will be no monetary gain at the end. It is a scam run on unsuspecting people to steal their money while pretending to be helpful. Stay away from such easy job offerings for your own good.
