How do you earn money by using Yahoo Answers? Is it really true?

If I get what you're asking, that'd be coaching or mentoring...yes, it can be lucrative if you know your stuff!

I think you're talking about taking surveys for cash?

I'm an affiliate for a ton of free survey sites. Great niche, but the people taking the surveys themselves don't make that much.

I make it clear that it's a little extra spending money and more for entertainment, and they still sign up. It's not an income supplement by any means. American Consumer Opinion is a trusted one that will pay you per survey when available. You really need to sign up for a lot of sites to have the best chance at taking surveys for cash if that's what you really want to do.

By getting paid on Yahoo Answers he means answering people's questions and then providing them a link to a website where he sells them the solution or gets an affiliate commission for it.

What kind of offers do you promote?

Are you talking about working as a contractor for services like ChaCha - Mobile Search | Text Search | Questions and Answers, where people send in their questions and you look up answers quickly and respond?

I looked at ChaCha when I first heard about it, just because I was curious about the business model.

It seemed like something that would end up paying less than minimum wage by the time you calculated an hourly rate.

So I figured why not spend that hour doing something more profitable?

I also am not sure I know exactly what you mean, but if you are talking about making money from surveys, yes I do that. I have been a active survey taker for about 7 years now. I am lucky enough to have been with a great group of active market research companies (aka: survey site) and also, I am assuming, have "good" demographics, so I tend to do quite well with surveys.

I have visited your site and I agree that people make money from survey programs. But I also discover that the survey programs are usually for those that resides in USA and Europe generally not for those that resides in Africa like myself. If am wrong in my assertion let me know. Are there really genuine survey programs that Africans can partake from?

I second this...you can make some decent money but you have to know your stuff and know what your talking about

If you are refering to paid surveys online then YES.

I think you may be looking for this
Ask Question & Experts Answer You ASAP! Name Your Price, Get Online Advice & Help - Just Answer!

They have experts that get paid via paypal an amount you negotiate to answer a specific question within the realm of their expertise. I used it once to get an automotive question answered. They had about 12 different service technicians for me to choose from. You get to look at a profile and select which of the experts you want to ask. If you're not satisfied with the answer, you don't pay them. My answer cost about $13, which was a heck of a lot cheaper than taking my Jeep to the dealership.

Chat means helping others i.e. solving the queries of the explorers there and thus may earn money live. There you may become experts and explorers in your niche and start giving advice to people and thus you learn and earn too. Also here is a skype plugin which helps to talk employees and employers potentially.
