12ish – Make Money From Your Knowledge

ss-12ish
Everyone’s an expert on something. 12ish provides people with a way to cash in on their knowledge. The social platform connects people who’d like to learn with people who have something to share, with 12-minute phone calls that can be scheduled any time both parties are free to chat.

Market your topic—whatever that may be—by creating a 12ish landing page. This is the place where you’ll post your personal background information, a schedule, and pricing details. 12ish visitors who are interested in your topic can schedule a telephone meeting via the web-based platform, and you’ll be connected by phone at a pre-determined time. When your 12-minute conversation is through, you’ll be paid immediately by 12ish through Amazon payments—no invoicing required.

12ish protects its users’ privacy by masking the real phone numbers associated with every call placed through its system. Users are encouraged to promote their services through embeds that are available for placement on blogs and social media. For people who don’t mind chatting with strangers for 12 minutes at a time, 12ish is an excellent way to generate a little extra cash on the side.

Insider Tips:
