OK, so there are tons of Answers platforms out there already…Yahoo Answers, WikiAnswers, IMAnswers, BloggingQuestions, Cha Cha, the list goes on and on.
Enter Mahalo Answers. Mahalo is a human-edited search engine and also a condensed wiki guide.
Their ‘answers’ service is new on the scene, but, like Yahoo Answers, anyone is able to ask a question of give an answer. Mahalo Answers throws in a nice little bonus, however. If someone really wants to get an awesome answer, they can offer you a tip in “Mahalo Dollars”. Mahalo Dollars can be fund through PayPal and can be cashed in for actual $$$ once a member has earned at least forty Mahalo Dollars.
Mahalo takes a 25 percent off the top when Mahalo Dollars are cashed in for regular currency. CEO Jason Calacanis says…
If you can make knowledge into a game and help people make living, it is very powerful.
This is very true. Is the ‘answers’ market already over-saturated, however? Maybe.
But in this crazy economy, ANY extra way for people to make money has got to be worth a look.
