Interesting idea! Some UI feedback - the 'I agree/disagree' buttons on your mission component are kind of weird. I clicked on both just to see what would happen. I think the CTA to sign up as an expert was a bit hard to find - perhaps due to the colors? I'm also not sure why I would want to become an 'expert'. What's in it for me? |

The "what's in it for me" question is a good one. While very unintuitive, we've had no problem signing people up who are simply helpful types. There's a large population out there of talented people who enjoy helping others and this is the most impactful, time efficient way to do it.
At first we were thinking about offering money, but the economics of the model don't really work out. No matter what we do, since we're not guaranteed money, we can't guarantee experts money. Under that situation, we could offer them on average less than $60 an hour... at which point 1) it feels like work and 2) the people who become experts usually make 3x that.
After we worked on this for months, it turned out the best system was simply a volunteer system. Strange, eh?
