Have you ever wished you had a friend on the ‘inside’ of some company when you needed customer support? Like someone who could tell you how to program the remote to your cable box for example? Directly.com is pretty close to that. Directly hires experts of companies like Dish Network, ReMax, Bank of America or just about any other company you can imagine. These are people who know the companies from the inside out, usually they have worked their in the past or maybe they have a lot of customer experience with them. Then, users can ask the experts questions.
It’s like a hub of customer support for many known companies.
Who does Directly Hire to be Experts?
Directly.com claims to hire you as an expert for companies you know from the inside out. As a Directly Expert you would answer questions that come through on your subjects of expertise. But it is not really clear how or if you have to prove your ‘expertise’. You are asked to connect through Facbeook and LinkedIn and you are then given a long list of companies to browse and mark the ones you know inside and out.
I have never worked for Sprint but I have been a customer for over 10 years. My husband is a technology geek and so I have sat through many conversations about Sprint and their tower updates, new phone plans, which phones are receiving updates and so on…I have by no choice of my own become (in my mind) a Sprint Expert.
But the only way I had to explain my ‘expertise’ with Directly was checking a box for Sprint. So, not really sure how much of an ‘expert’ you must be to work with Directly.
I have applied but am on a waiting list over 500 people long.
How does Directly Pay?
Once you have reached $2.00 you can request pay out and according to an insider- Directly claims to send your money within 2-4 days of request via PayPal. However, Directly’s FAQ page says experts are paid through Amazon Payments.
How Much can be Made at Directly?
I get the feeling this isn’t a full time job but an extra money making gig. I have not been able to find much information about Directly online but one forum user at WorkPlaceLikeHome.com says they earned over $8 in a day by answering questions at Directly.com. There really is no indication how many questions they answered or how much time they spent on it.
Directly.com says users who ask questions do not have to pay for them but are encouraged to offer payment for higher quality expert responses. As an expert- if you answer a paid question you split the payment with Directly.com.
(If a user asks a question and offers $20- you would receive $10 if you provide a quality answer- decided by the Question maker)
Additionally, if you provide help but possibly did not have the full answer to a question- the question maker is encouraged to give a tip. Which again, would be split 50/50 with Directly.com.
My Opinion of Directly.com
As I mentioned earlier, I applied but I am in a line of over 500 people. Their site claims it takes 1-2 days for approval.
Pinecone Research, a leading name in online survey panel honesty, absolutely guarantees $3 cash for every survey you complete!

I don’t know much about Directly but I have a feeling this wont be worth spending a lot of time with, but possibly an enjoyable way to fill extra time between other responsibilities.

Any update? Are you still on the waiting list or have you made any money from them?
I never heard a thing in response actually.
I applied a couple of months ago and I got choosen, I’m waiting on Saturday to see how much money I earned.
For now I’m just enjoying the opportunity and learning as I go, the ones who determine how much of an expert are you is other expert themselves.
They will rate your quality answers and if you really know what you are talking about.
If you get flag a lot Directly can terminate you from working there.
Great !! Can you tell me for which domain do you work on directly ? like microsoft, linkedIn, Samsung etc ?
I work part-time for Directly and my average weekly earnings are $422
While it is true there is a waiting list, depending on your expertise/ability, you can be invited to participate/work with Directly.com, which depends on your participation in other online forums . . .
I work for Directly for 2 weeks, and I earned $151 in the first week, $229 in the second week.
It has complicated arithmetic to calculate your reward, while I’m not very sure how it calculated.
But somehow I enjoy the network with Directly, you get paid with your knowledge.
In how many days you got the approval?
any tips about getting the answers? how time an answers a day you need to make money ? like a goal?
