Let’s face it, life is full of questions. From bizarre to benign, mundane to magnificent, we’ve all had a question go unanswered at least once in our lives. What if there were a way to obtain the answers we seek by relying on the knowledge of others? Better yet, what if the answers were only a point and click away?
That’s the premise behind Problima, a new site that seeks to put those with questions together with the people capable of providing expert answers. According to the owners, Problima started out as an idea for providing a free web based Q&A platform where all manner of problems, questions and curiosities could be solved, answered and quelled. Quickly realizing that no one was chomping at the bit to offer free advice, the brains behind Problima quickly ascertained that in order to get experts to the site, they would have to provide some compensation. From there, the dollar for an answer website was born.
The basic premise behind Problima is that anyone, anywhere can ask a question and obtain access to an individual answer for one dollar. While not all answers may be worth their salt, the hope is that by obtaining multiple answers, those asking the questions will find what they are looking for through the commonality of several responses. For those on the other end of the equation, Problima pays one dollar for every answer that is accessed by the asker.
If, like me, you’re wondering what would keep those with absolutely no knowledge from getting your hard earned buck, the answer to that lies in a ratings system developed to separate the chafe from the wheat. After an answer is accessed, those who purchased it are encouraged to rate the answer, thereby providing a virtual endorsement to the person or persons who provide the most comprehensive answers. Of course, once an expert’s stock goes up via the ratings system, the likelihood that their answers will be more often sought out (and consequently that their time spent answering will be more lucrative) increases.
So, the next time you have a question that needs to be answered, try your luck at Problima. You may never find out what the meaning of life is, but if you come close for a buck, that’s not too bad at all.
