Mahalo Guides cashing out for over $1,000 a month now

A number of Mahalo Page Managers are breaking $1k a month in revenue share.
A number of Mahalo Guides managing topic pages and HowTo articles are now making over $1,000 a month…. in essentially the first full month of the system (July).
This has lead to a great discussion of how many Mahalo pages one person working 40 hours a week handle. Of course when we started this system we didn’t see it as a full-time job, heck we didn’t see as a part time job! We thought this would be a “rewards program” like American Express or American Airlines. A cool way of getting prizes for participating in a fun knowledge game.
That’s what it is for most folks, but the top users tell us they are playing this game for 20-50 hours a week.
Wow.
