What is the average payment/views on How Tos?
One page http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-get-a-passport had tons of effort and time spent on it, but only has 2 views, which makes it looks like a waste. I'm not saying its not worth contributing if I don't get money, but 2 views and all that effort?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Creating a How To article takes a decent amount of work: two or three articles would be a good number.
In another week we will have 10 days of data or so and you'll see that How To articles can make $25 to $2,500 a year. If you manage a page like that for three years I think you get the idea: hundreds of dollars.
I suggest folks look at pages from a three year perspective: if I spend an hour on a page ($7-10 worth of an average writer's time in the USA), how much will I make in three years?
Something making only M$1 a month sounds like a waste of time... until you get to month 36 and you've made M$36 for what was $7-10 worth of effort. That is why the revenue share program is soooo much better for everyone. As you guys invest in the system we can all earn money together.

You can see a few comments and a bit of discussion in my question here:

Personally, I'm playing the "wait and see" card right now to figure things out until I go full steam into putting a ton of work into the pages that I've committed to managing.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the personal answer Jason, I really respect you for answering them yourself and not getting some team to do it. Shows you actually use the product yourself.
However you didn't answer the average page views. I'm monitoring 15 pages that were created today, so I'll check back in a week and see what they average out.
I understand your analogy that over time it adds up, like interest in a bank. I don't think that work though for most people because they expect to do work and get a result right away. We'll just have to wait, it seems awesome so far.
Can't wait till next TWIST, and loving Mahalo 2.0 congratz Jason.
