I am afraid you are on a good idea too late. Your idea is the very
|
||
business idea of QuestionExchange.
|
||
|
||
I am not advertising for them but I guess some on these lists may be
|
||
interested in my experiences. I signed up on their trial pages for
|
||
new experts and passed. I'd say most HOWTO/Guide/FAQ authors should
|
||
be able to do that easily. After that stage you can trade your answers
|
||
for questions and auction off your answers. The business structure is
|
||
a bit complicated but well explained.
|
||
|
||
My point is that while this works it does work because the docs are
|
||
not well published and not always well understood and not always found
|
||
by those looking. In fact I could easily sell off answers pulled
|
||
straight off my HOWTO continuously. I checked QE out to see how visible
|
||
existing doces were. The result was depressive.
|
||
|
||
My impression is that QE makes it possible to make money off your
|
||
documentation work as people are quite willing to pay real money
|
||
to ask for what is already published freely.

|
||
|
||
It would be interesting to hear other people's experiences with QE, I
|
||
am probably not the only HOWTO author there.
