Answer questions.
There is a Wikianswers headquarters that is located in New York City where people actually work for this site and are paid. These are the only people that earn money because Wikianswers is a volunteer site that rewards badges to their users that make significant contributions to the site.
You can earn contributor badges by making certain contributions to WikiAnswers, such as answering questions, asking questions, editing, organizing, and messaging other users.
Wow, this would be an utterly long list of users! Many users on WikiAnswers have more than 50 trust points, although it takes time and a lot of good answers and other contributions to earn them.
The Ruby level contributor is the highest-level badge you can earn for contributions. To get this badge, you need to make 500,000 contributions. You can do this by answering/editing questions, organization, asking questions, or community.
Unless you are a paid employee of WikiAnswers, you will not be paid for your contributions. WikiAnswers is a wiki, a community site that people contribute to because they want to, not for payment.You can, of course, earn prizes in some of the various WikiAnswers competitions (for example, you can win book vouchers).
Earning SatisfactionNo, you can't earn money. What you can earn, though, is the feeling of satisfaction by giving good answers, and thereby helping those who're asking the questions. Other responses from the wealth of our contributors:Much to many people's disappointment, you cannot get money for answering questions (or any other contributions) on WikiAnswers; it is strictly volunteer work.NOTE:Community Assistants are the only paid members of WikiAnswers, as employees of the Answers Corporation. For more information on jobs at WikiAnswers, please see the related link below.
WikiAnswers ranks your contributions by how many questions, answers, edits and community work you contribute to the WikiAnswers community.

Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.
No, there is no special award or badge for 1,000 contributions.(See the Related question for more information.)
