I revised the introduction (I'll make the FAQ more specific soon). Does that clear it up?

whats the difference between your website and say yahoo answers, apart from you charge money ($20 is far to expensive btw) and have a lot less traffic.
I can see you having a lot of people signing up to be a contributor to try and score $10, but your not going to have any clients... ever.

Sorry about the harshness, but i just cannot see this bringing in any revenue.

So you want to charge people for advice that they can get for free from a friend or a forum? You would need to find a niche that there isn't an abundance of free information for. Then you might have a chance. It's a clever idea (I guess) but there is way to much free information out there these days....

Layout looks good other than that have to agree with everyone else, you need to offer more than just a great idea. Seperate yourself from the rest, also $20???? you would be better off just writing a 20 page book on how to sell on ebay and sell that for $5

You need to make this a social site. Which means free. Hosting is so cheap you can support it in the beginning while a good user base is established. Make everything publicly viewable so that you get some good search engine juice. Once you start getting about 1000 impressions a day; find a way to put ads on it. There is your new business plan

you have really nice header in your design. Other parts is not so good. Do not know why, but it looks like you have taked header from another project and just attached site body.

Also domain name is a very bad as for me. My first impression was file hosting service (file in domain name ).

Ya your service definetly needs to be free. Theres no way that you can take a new web site and with low traffic and charge people for your service which is available many other places for free. I would advise that you go ahead with your idea as a free service and build a steady stream of traffic. Then you can make profit by selling adspace on your site.
Good Luck,
Frank

Also if your idea works, let me know if you would be interested in exchanging links. My web site is below.
