Answers is a wiki, which means that the site is collaboratively written and edited by our volunteer community! Most of our Expert answers are written by those community members.
We do have a small number of writers on our staff that are paid, and they have volunteered their answers as well.
You become an expert on answers.com by correctly answering answers on a given section in which you are an expert.
Google search for "expert answers" or "human guides" and read terms of service some sites: About.com, Justanswer.com
Here. Sometimes. Look at the confidence score of the person who provided the answer to get a rough estimate of how good other people have found that person's answers to be; higher is generally better. (Don't ... necessarily ... put too much faith in "expert" answers, because a person who is an expert in one category may not be an expert in other categories, but their answers in those categories may still be labelled as expert answers.)
Answerers with knowledge or areas of expertise can obtain Expert Status, whereby their answers are not editable by the Community. This is monitored by the site to maintain a level of accuracy in answers, but not all Expert Answers will be absolutely correct and comprehensive. Additional information or clarifications may appear in the Community Answer below.
Answers does not pay those of us who answer questions; we are volunteers. However, answers does sometimes send out gifts, as a gesture of appreciation.
