Darren Hoyt and I are looking for some Symfony programmers to answer questions on our new Symfony site.

Darren and I are often asked for help with small programming or design tasks, simple problems that require maybe 5 minutes of our time. Since we do a lot of work with WordPress, we recently built WP Questions, a place where WordPress experts can earn some money by answering people’s emergency questions about WordPress.

Today we are launching Symfony Experts, which is the same kind of site, but aimed at Symfony.

We have a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem when launching these sites, since the experts aren’t interested till their are customers and the customers aren’t interested till their are experts. Still, our preference is to get some experts signed up first, before we start marketing this thing heavily to all programmers working with Symfony. Please consider signing up now. Once we have about 10 good Symfony programmers signed up, we’ll begin marketing the site. It is free to sign up.

The people asking the questions put up prize money for whoever answers them. You can look at WP Questions to see the kinds of money people has so far offered.

More details are here.

For our customers who are paying to ask questions, this tutorial explains how to ask a question.

We are happy, even eager, to share our revenue with those of you who can send us some users, so we have a variety of affiliate programs.

By the way, next month we will be launching similar sites for MySql and Javascript. And in a bit of what the engineers at Microsoft would call “eat your own dog food” I’ll be posting a bunch of questions on Symfony Experts, to get advice about how to build out our network of sites.
