GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEED - FROM AN ONLINE EXPERT

I just discovered JustAnswer – a website dedicated to getting your most pressing questions answered in minutes - and for far less than a visit to your mechanic, doctor, vet or attorney!

JustAnswer.com is in fact the largest website of its kind, where questions are answered personally and quickly, 24/7. For a small fee, registered users have access to around 20,000 experts, with insight into more than 90 categories!

You get:
• Expert answers from a live person, who cares about you and follows up with you (not a search engine)
• Answers every day, at all hours - when you need them most
• Affordable pricing - you pick the price you want to pay

Here’s how it works:

1. Ask a question at JustAnswer.com.
Enter your question, and quickly create a user account (in under 30 secs)
2. Name your price!
You can pay up front or wait until an Expert answers. Prepaid questions are typically answered faster.
3. An Expert answers, often within minutes, and almost always within a few hours.
JustAnswer will send an e-mail notifying you of any answer or request for more information from an Expert.
4. Accept the answer.
That’s how your Expert gets paid.

I've touched on this idea in the past, but more from the standpoint of becoming an expert to make some extra cash. What makes this site truly unique is that you are paying a nominal fee for a certified expert’s advice (they aren’t self-professed experts – they are the real deal!) and the fee is only a fraction of what the information would cost you in the real world to get the same information!

I just quickly set up an account and asked a vet expert a question for a mere $9. I had an answer within minutes that both made sense and created peace of mind. Very cool and very affordable (I was able to use PayPal no less!) and I’d recommend it as a starting point for all of your most urgent questions.
