Does questioning and answering here at Hubpages add up any money ?
Mike ~ This question may be in the minds of many people who dream of making money on Hubpages. All activity that you do on the network improves your rating and presence here. Learning ways to be part of the community includes posting and answering questions. Other members of the community or outside readers may chance upon your activity here, then move to your profile page or your articles. Those locations will potentially increase income. I hope this answers the question. In conclusion, you may not receive direct income, but it could lead to indirect income.
Crystal is right. It doesn't add up to direct cash, but it can get your more traffic and also increase your hub score. You may also get an accolade too. I think answering and asking questions is also a helpful way to research for new hubs. Good luck.
You can't even make $ writing hubs (unless you're among the chosen) so why would you think answering ?'s would be any different?
It would be nice, but no, I think that the purpose of answering questions is to form a community - get to know each other, and maybe get people interested in reading your hubs.
Nope. But they have an effect to your HubKarma or the so called profile points. Good answers can also let you earn positive votes that can put your question first among the answers. Its an added exposure for you! Goodluck!
Directly? NO.
Indirectly? Very possibly.
answering questions with really good answers sometimes gets you more followers. More followers mean more readers, more readers means more hub views, more hub views translates into more shared hub links, more shared hub links turns into more traffic, and more traffic means more money.

So, I understand that the question-answer section is to inspire hubs, BUT it feels a little disingenuous to use the information everyone provided, especially when that information would fit nicely in a list. I asked a question about recipes and received lots of great replies. How do I make a...

I'm wondering if I plan a hub on a topic, is it worth going through the questions, finding a related one and selecting answer this question. Would you hub get more internal hub links as a result giving just a little extra boost?and Happy Easter!
