Here is another great way to earn money with DebtCC community. Become an official FAQ maintainer for the community and earn money while helping them find the right content.


Who is an official FAQ maintainer?

A self nominated community member who will maintain FAQ pages using Community FAQ whiteboard. With the help of community DebtCC forums has a lot of information for all the people in need. But its scattered all over the forums. An official FAQ maintainer will select some FAQs and will maintain the section for those topics under DebtCC Community FAQ whiteboard.


How to start?

1) Once you volunteer to be an official FAQ Maintainer, you can browse through the Current list of FAQs looking for maintainer.
2) If you find a topic that interests you, you can edit the page called List of FAQs maintained by our community members, and just the way it has been done for Ranking chart, you too can add the topic there along with your name.
3) Once you add the topic there along with your name and save the page, a link will automatically be created there to the topic.
4) Then you can click on that link, and you will be taken to another page where you can actually create the page.
5) It is very easy to edit the page as our Knowledge Base follows the Wiki system, and anyone can edit and create any page without any special knowledge.
6) You only need to click on the link that says "Edit" on top of the page and then you will be able to edit the entire page.
7) To begin with, look here to get an idea of how to go about it. And if you have any further problem visit the official wiki guide.


How do I make money?

We will place an optimized adsense to help you earn on the pages with the FAQs which you will maintain.


For any queries please post under the thread.


How about a FAQ area of Acronyms commonly used in the forum? For example some of us have been here a while and know CMRR meas "Certified Mail Return Receipt", but a new person may not know that, and an area for them to go to to find out would be helpful. If you put it in I will take the lead on that one. Just let me know when and how to get started..

I know as a new user I could definitely use that one!

Vikas,
I don't have a lot of computer (read HTML or code)knowledge. I havent started yet but if you say I should be able to still do this then I'll try.

Hi folks, try your hand with FAQ. I have tried it and it's excellent, I must say. You will lose something if you don't taste it :lol:

Click on the edit button at the upper right hand corner and put the whole text between [[???]] then write your name at the end of the line just to make all know that you are working on this FAQ.

Then Save the page.

You will find that the topic you selected is linked now. Click on it and it will take you to an editor page. Write whatever you want and save it.

Then see the magic, I will not say a single word more. Do let me know how it works.

Thanks Vikas for preparing such a wonderful platform :D

I would like to help with the FAQs.

If Clay would like help with the common acronyms, I can add to his list, and I'd also like to know if I could do an FAQ regarding common questions?

Questions like:
What is re-aging?
What is the SOL for my state?
How do I contact my AG?
etc.
(Might save folks some time on searching the forums?)

Hi Vikas, quick question. This thread was started several months ago, but in order to find these FAQ's, you have to weed through and find the original thread. Is there any way we can put a link over there on the left side of the screen<-----? Also there are at least TWO FAQ topics that were adopted that still show and waiting for someone to volunteer to maintain them. How doe we get them moved to the front page? Did we do something wrong when we adopted them? I think this is an under utilized feature of this forum.

Hi Clay,

Thanks for coming up with this issue. You are right; FAQ whiteboard has been neglected so far.

To answer your other question, it would be better if a person edits the page FAQs maintained by our community members as well while selecting/adding a topic here Current list of FAQs looking for maintainer. If you select a particular topic from the list, it does not get removed from the page automatically. Someone has to edit both the pages and maintain the FAQ whiteboard properly.

My suggestion is why don't few of the community members come up as FAQ maintainer and shoulder the responsibility of editing and monitoring all the pages as well. Basic editing techniques are quite simple; however, there are some complex protocols too. But I am sure, if you all try by heart, you can master in anything.

Looking forward to your reply. Do let me know if you have any more doubts.

Regards
Vikas

It's very easy Clay. All I did was first copied the text "Commonly used abbreviations in the forum" and pasted it in the "List of FAQs" section. The link will automatically appear after you save the page. Then I removed the text from "Current list of FAQs looking for maintainer".

I've done it with your thread. Please check it

All you need to learn some basic wiki syntaxes to play with the wiki. :) You can get help from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial

Let me know if you have any doubts.

Thanks
Mike

Well, it has been several months, and we have many wonderful and insightful new members of the community so maybe its time to get this post back on the front page, or maybe even make it a sticky.

Are there any topics members out there would be interested in adopting? Or is there information you feel should be added to a topic being maintained by another?

Hey Vikas, I still think you should put a link to this white board in the "our Services" area. Any one looking for this information has to know these white boards exist and then find this thread in order to get to this information. A lot of the information on these white board could be very useful to new members of the community.

Hi Clay,

Your suggestion is highly appreciated as we do the long term planning. We will properly organize the whiteboards under the FAQ so that these pages come into focus under "Our Services".

I also take this opportunity inviting our members and maintain the FAQ whiteboard section. The guidelines on how to get started are explained here Please post those who are interested or you can send me a PM. :)

Regards
Vikas
