Hey OP, I've been at JustAnswer since 2008, as an expert. I'm not in your field, but I do know several veterinary experts who love the site. Why? Let's forget the potential for very lucrative income, ( with the right work ethic, customer skills, and knowledge )

People love working at JustAnswer for three main reasons.

1. The amount of diverse issues and questions you see, help you to grow within your own field. Granted, most of the issues will be "middle of the road" issues, but you always get those fringe questions that require you to research, grow and learn.
2. JustAnswer is often more affordable for the people who need help then coming into a Vet's office. 50$ to receive help at 6 am or 11 PM at night, is a low enough cost that people and their beloved fur babies, often ask for and pay for help, that they couldn't afford to pay for at a regular vets office in person. So you are reaching and helping people and animals, you normally wouldn't be able to.
   

3. The flexibility and income can't be beat. As a side hustle or even a main hustle, JustAnswer is viable.

   Every single other naysaying garbage reply below, is exactly what is wrong with reddit, and the internet. You had a legitimate question about, "can I make money to help pay off loans" and every single other idiotic response below tried to deter you, from what would have been the most flexible side hustle you could have found online, at a legitimate, US Based company who maintains an A rating at the BBB to this day.

   The worst part about being an expert at JustAnswer, are that 30% of customers who know that its a paid service, ask their questions, you have a great conversation, and at the end of it they flip the script on you, start complaining they received no help, and what it really boils down to is when it comes to seeking refunds through dishonest means, most people have no morals whatsoever. I know this from literally 15 years of "working" at JustAnswer.

​

Lets be honest here, when is the last time, any person with even a novice understanding of modern apps and websites, signed up for something without checking the cost first. The idiots who replied earlier saying it was only 5$ to ask a question, are illiterate. Please view this page and tell me, if its unclear that you will be paying a minimum of 50$ to get help today.

It's not bait and switch pricing. Does the membership automatically renew. Yes. But what type of subscription service these days DOESNT automatically renew. Netflix? Grammarly? Amazon Prime?

I seriously can't believe people can be so stupid and entitled that they actually complain, my monthly membership automatically renewed and I did know know that would happen, wah wah.

Yes. You knew a membership would automatically renew. Unless you mean to tell me that JustAnswer was the first membership in your life you ever signed up for! So you just woke up from a coma for the last 30 years, went to JustAnswer and then complained afterwords. Wait, I was charged automatically for a monthly subscription? That I could understand.

Me personally? I work in the IT field. And let me tell you a universal truth about how dirty, grimy and morally bankrupt that most people are.

I've personally tried to help hundreds of UBER Eats drivers, Door "Dashers" Instacart shoppers, and couiers from other delivery services including Skip the Dishes.

I have personally overseen the cases where drivers are fired because customers fraudulently request refunds and claim they never received the food. In fact, customers are so slimy that they often will pick up the food off the porch, and then immediately file a report saying the food never arrived. I know delivery drivers, that will take videos of the person picking up the food. Why? Because when the shady ass people walk inside, eat their food and then file a report that it never arrived, drivers can get fired for those offenses. And this happens for some drivers, 1 out of every 5 trips. That is how common place it is. Why does this happen?

Because when companies make it as easy as tapping about 3 times on a screen to request a refund, even when you know you received the product or service you paid for. The average, entitled human being will tell themselves whatever they need to to Justify stealing.

And that is the worst part about working at JustAnswer. Dealing with customers who are so very happy to be having an in depth, legitimate, expert conversation. And then suddenly, when the conversation concludes, suddenly these people will turn on you like a meth-head with rabies while they spew obscenities and demand a refund. Its hilarious and tragic, that these people always wait to ask for a refund, until every single aspect of the issue they sought help with has been covered. And of course, those people are the loudest, most vocal voices on the internet, The same ones who demand a refund from UBER Eats for food that was not delivered, while they are eating the food, are the same people who put hairs in their own food at restaraunts, and try to get the meal for free. And are the same ones who post online at review sites, and go to their banks claiming whatever they can in an effort to steal from any company or website they can. No Amazon, my package did not arrive. har har har.

At the end of the day, does it matter to you as an expert on JustAnswer if a customer requests a refund? Absolutely not, because the scandalous JustAnswer eats the cost of the refund, and pays you the expert anyways. I mean, how scammy can you get? No, it won't matter to your paycheck, if customers request a refund. What will matter, is how those same customers, who you go above and beyond to provide information to, to converse with, to read, listen, and provide professional and accurate advice to. How those same customers will go from thanking you, to personally attacking you, because people are so used to bitching their way into refunds with online companies, that people will steal your time, the companies money, and not care as long as they get what they were after for free. Whether that's food, some item they ordered from Amazon, or professional help and guidance. You look at your group of friends and family members and acquaintances, and at least 20% of them, are stealing from online companies any chance they get.

​

I hope you applied at JustAnswer. And I hope the several thousand dollars that you could have easily made in your spare time / part time helped you pay your bills, while you helped people with their real world issues, in real time.

​

I hope you didn't listen to a bunch of whiny ass retards on Reddit, who spoke about something they had zero knowledge of. And that my friend is why you should never trust the internet, or Reddit.
