JustAnswer

JustAnswer is an online expert marketplace where people pay to get answers from professionals in areas such as cars, computers, home repair, law, finance, medical topics, veterinary care, and appraisals.

For qualified professionals, the platform provides a way to earn extra income by using knowledge and experience they already have.

Experts choose questions in their approved specialty and communicate with customers through chat, phone, or text. You can decide when you want to work and how many questions you want to answer, which makes the platform suitable for people who already have another job or business.

JustAnswer is not designed for complete beginners who want to learn a skill while earning. Applicants need relevant professional experience, education, certifications, or licenses depending on their specialty. JustAnswer verifies at least one relevant credential through a third party, and applicants also go through identity and background checks.

The platform covers a wide range of specialties. Current categories include automotive, computers, consumer electronics, home improvement, finance and tax, law, medical, veterinary, wellness, and appraisals. The exact requirements differ by category. For example, some technical categories accept professional certifications and work experience, while legal and medical roles require relevant professional licenses.

Experts are paid for questions they answer, with payout amounts based on the category and pricing tier assigned to their account. JustAnswer’s current agreement also states that experts can earn through different payment models, including per question and membership-based arrangements. Payments are made monthly, and some expert categories also offer bonuses based on performance.

This makes JustAnswer most useful for experienced professionals who want a flexible way to earn from their expertise outside their normal work.
