RV Repairman Makes $20,000 Monthly Income Responding To Questions On JustAnswer

In 2009, Randall Gibbons had been working as a recreational vehicle (RV) repairman in California for years when he needed help getting his Buick Riviera to work. A friend told him about JustAnswer, a site that lets people pose questions on subject matters ranging from taxes to plumbing and get an answer from a knowledgeable expert.

Gibbons got his answer and his car running, and "in the meantime," he says, "I said, 'Gee, they've got an RV section. Somebody's answering those questions, why isn't that me?'"

Gibbons started answering RV questions on JustAnswer. In those first years, he made $400 or $500 per month. Since he sold his RV shop in April, though, he's working full time on the site, and he's come a long way from those first monthly paychecks.

"I think I've made almost $20,000 every month since May," says Gibbons, now 74. "Not bad for answering questions."

Here's how Gibbons built his successful side hustle, which has become his sole source of income.

In his early days on the site, as he was still working full time at an RV repair shop, Gibbons didn't have too much time to devote to the side hustle: He logged on to the site on his lunch hour, for example, and answered a few questions.

These days, his schedule is more rigorous. "I get up, usually at 4:30 in the morning," he says. "I'm always online by 5." Gibbons stays up until 10 or 11 at night answering questions, working 16-to-18 hour days.
