WeChat Ask a Question has a new feature: you can make money by writing answers!

WeChat has launched the "Ask a Question" feature and started the internal beta test of the Creator Revenue Sharing Plan, allowing creators to earn revenue through answering questions and advertising in the comment area. This new feature not only has a positive impact on WeChat's private domain ecosystem, but also increases traffic and revenue channels. You can earn money by writing answers, why not try it too!

You can make money by answering questions on WeChat! Recently, the WeChat "Ask a Question" function has started the internal test of the creation profit sharing plan. You can earn income through advertisements in the comment area by just answering questions. Next, I will talk to you about how to activate the profit sharing plan? And the impact of asking questions on the private domain ecosystem?

1. How to activate the profit sharing plan

1. Ask an introduction

Some people still don’t know what “Ask a Question” is? In fact, it is a search question and answer function launched by the WeChat team in 2023. Users can enter questions to get answers from the answerer, and high-quality original content will be displayed first.

2. Ask about creation

Pay attention to originality. You can use a combination of video and pictures. The content should be easy to understand. It is also recommended to be pertinent and practical. 30-500 words are enough.

3. Profit-sharing plan launched

Many people are curious about how to activate it? At present, the beta test adopts an invitation system. Creators who have continuously published high-quality answers in the past 90 days will receive invitations, and the monetization form is to trigger advertising display to earn revenue. If you don’t receive an invitation, just keep publishing answers and wait patiently for notification.

Authors who meet the requirements will receive a system notification and can apply to join the program by going to the rights page through the "Ask a Question Service". Currently, enterprise accounts, government accounts, and media accounts are not supported to join.

2. Ask about the impact on the private domain ecosystem

1. The revised version of Ask a Question

Most people probably don’t know that the interface of Ask has been changed, right? A few months ago, Ask changed from the original display format of only text titles to the current prominent display format similar to the “Little Red Book waterfall flow”, allowing users to obtain information more intuitively and increase click-through rate.

2. Private domain linkage of Wenyiwen

Earlier this year, Wenyixiewen was connected with the official account to generate a unique question-and-answer component, forming a linkage. At the same time, it was interconnected with the video account, allowing creators to include video account content in their answers.

3. Priority in Search

When searching for keywords in the WeChat search bar, Ask has a high display priority, sometimes even higher than video accounts and public accounts. In the future, it may become the main entrance for users to find answers, and it has great potential in the search market.

4. Increase revenue and traffic channels

The rise of Wenyiwen may become a new traffic growth point in the WeChat ecosystem, just like the video account, bringing new fans to the creators of the official account and the video account. For creators, joining the creation sharing plan means gaining a new source of income and adding new traffic channels.

5. Ask about precautions

The maximum number of questions that creators can answer per day is 20. It is recommended to choose areas of interest to answer in order to maintain the focus and depth of the content. Creators' income ranges from a few yuan to dozens of yuan, which is a significant increase compared to the main income of public account traffic. Since the function is still in the grayscale testing stage, WeChat will invite users to join in batches, and creators have the opportunity to seize the dividends of this emerging platform.

3. Final summary

The "Ask a Question" creative profit-sharing plan provides creators with a new way to monetize. At the same time, WeChat's huge user base also provides creators with sufficient traffic support, and it is very likely to become a new major private domain traffic growth point.
