LikePlum is a Question and Answer platform similar to Yahoo! Answers and Facebook Questions. With LikePlum, you can be paid to answer questions that others post from your work or life experience. Of course, you only get paid for “good” answers.
So how does that work?
How LikePlum Works
“Askers” post questions and pledge a certain payment amount. This is the amount they are willing to pay for a good answer. Basic questions have pledges below $10 and are available to be answered by anyone. The asker gets to choose the best answer, and the answer-er that answered that question gets the amount pledged.
Premium questions have a pledge above $10. Askers must submit a request to answer these questions. If chosen, the answer-er is given the exclusive right to answer and can request a 50% down payment (to be held by LikePlum.)
Once the answer is accepted in full, the remainder of the payment will be made and the down payment will be released regardless. Unless, however, the asker withdraws due to a legitimate bad answer.
LikePlum is the judge of this and it remains to be seen how well they back up their answer-ers. (If you have experience with this please let us know.)
Also, there is no mention of whether a pledge of $10 even is considered a basic or a premium question.
How Do You Get Your Money?
You can withdraw earnings via check or PayPal, and there is no mention of a minimum. Again, if you answer for LikePlum and know there is a minimum amount required for withdrawal please let us know.
What Else Do I Need to Know
There is a repeat client system as well as a reputation and rank system that can increase your chances of being chosen to answer high pledge premium questions. It likely takes some time to build up reputation and rank, but if you like answering questions it could really pay off. There is also a transfer system in which you can earn rank points by transferring your experience from other online question and answer sites. This means you do not have to spend the time starting from scratch at LikePlum if you already have an established reputation as an answer-er elsewhere.
LikePlum Conclusion
If you are good at offering quality and informative answers to random questions, and you have the time to building up rank and reputation, you could make money online at LikePlum.
You could make money even faster if you already have an established reputation as an answer-er elsewhere on the web. Making some extra pocket change by just poking around and answering basic questions and hoping your answer gets chosen is also a definite possibility.
There is always the potential, however, that your answer will not be chosen and you will not be paid. This appears to be a legitimate way to make money, and it could be built into a steady income stream with time and work, but should not be counted on as a steady source of income on the front end, or in the absence of time to build a reputation with the potential for little pay while doing so.

I tried likeplum before. It’s pretty cool. easy to get the refund to your credit card / paypal. Great service.
I checked out LikePlum, and I think it could be a promising service. However, it seems like nearly all of the available assignments are of the ‘do my homework/paper’ variety.
likeplum is pretty awesome, I had trouble getting an answer to my programming question and decided to ask it at likeplum. I got immediate help right away from several knowledgable people.
Even though it cost me $1, my experience completely outmatched what I get from forums and Y answers. likeplum is defiantly the place for hard questions.
Studyacer.com has a bigger tutor community and live tutoring service so you can get your questions answered even faster.
Shut up. Studyacer is the biggest scam in the world.
minimum withdraw is $50.00 and the dispute process is fair for both the seeker and answer. if you are need of any clarification regarding LikePlum, please contact me within the LikePlum forum.
likeplum is a good site but of late they have delay in making payment.the support dont repond to emails.its now sucks.
Seems like likeplum has moved to createpool. They have better customer support now. I liked it and I think you can make some serious cash there if you are willing to provide good work to your client.
I’m a tutor at StudyPool.com, which is the new name of LikePlum.com.
Unfortunately I cannot corroborate this glowing review.
There IS a minimum withdrawal of $50.
On top of this, they take a commission of 20% that they do not tell you about in advance.
Worst of all, is that having ‘withdrawn’ my earnings a month ago, they have kept the entirety of the money for themselves, and shut off all communications options.
I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT USE.
I’ve been using Studypool for like 2 months. They’ve been paying me on time. If they didn’t pay you yet, contact them. It’s mostly because you plagiarized or you provide lots of shitty answers so all your students appealed for a refund. If you are good at what you’re doing, you can make a lot of money there.
Hello! Thanks or sharing this valuable piece of info! However, the following text is the one that intrigues me the most:
“There is also a transfer system in which you can earn rank points by transferring your experience from other online question and answer sites. This means you do not have to spend the time starting from scratch at LikePlum if you already have an established reputation as an answer-er elsewhere.”
Now, having the chance to actually transfer your reputation from onw Q&A website, is one brilliant and wonderful idea. In fact, it makes joining this website, even more tempting. I do have some experience with other Q&A websites, and, untill now, I have earned a decent reputation on one of them, more exactly, on Askubuntu. It would be reat if I could benefit from that rep, and jump over several stages on Likeplum website. The only problem is that I could not find any info on this matter on neither of their websites.
And, by the way, Likeplum has evolved into a series of other subject-focused websites, and none of them offers any info on the transfer the rep matter. Maybe it was mentioned in the past, but now, that info is gone.
Anyway, I would like to know if that rep-transfer feature still stands, how it can be done and which are the Q&A websites that are taken into consideration for this matter.
Thank you!
As a person who regularly needs help with questions study pool used to be good but lately less and less of my questions are answered. I have now migrated to other sites.
I guess some tutors don’t get paid because of irregularities . I delayed to answer a question once and they delayed my payment but i still got paid, so maybe some tutors should check on the quality of answers they give.
