Codementor - earn from your experience
Quite by chance, as always in the morning , distracted from work, I came across a site called Codementor that offers beginners to get help from experienced programmers. Analogue Stack Overflow ? Maybe. But unlike the latter, Codementor gives you the opportunity to earn money, in addition to reputation.
So, there are two options for working with Codementor: either you provide assistance, that is, you are a mentor, or you receive it - the service gives one hundred percent guarantee that your problem will be solved.
In order to request assistance, you first need to get an invite - for this you need to enter an e-mail right on the main page and wait a bit. After approval of your candidacy, you will get the opportunity to publish your problem, as well as get access to the interface of communication with mentors. By the way, to contribute to the speedy approval of you for the role of the system user, you can share information about the resource in social networks.
If you feel the strength to provide qualified assistance to inexperienced shopmates, you can try to become a mentor .

To begin with, you will be asked to fill out the standard name / e-mail, as well as note the areas in which you are ready to provide professional assistance. In this case, there are only 31, plus you can specify additional skills in a special field.
In the next step, you need to specify a little more information:
After filling in all the fields, the data goes to the moderators for approval - it depends on their decision whether you become a mentor or not. As the founder of the project Weiting Liu told me, the conclusion is made on the basis of the information contained in the specified profiles (LinkedIn, GitHub, etc.) and answers to special questions about your skills and experience (they are asked in a personal order). After accepting your candidacy, you are entitled to start providing paid assistance to those in need. The cost, as I mentioned above, is set in 15 minutes of communication via video, screen display or chat. The subsequent withdrawal of money is carried out with a deduction of the commission of the service (20 percent) through PayPal. Although, according to the founder of the project, if users are interested in other methods of payment, this will not be the case.
In conclusion of the conversation, Weiting Liu added that he was very interested in users from Russia and in the very near future they will be engaged in the internationalization of the project.
In general, a pretty good idea - I wonder what will come of it, whether this project will be able to compete with already existing solutions. I recommend everyone who is interested in Codementor to try their hand in the field of consulting.
