There is no remedy. This is the way it works.
I am an old expert and it is the same with me. Today I started about five or six hours ago and I did one single premium question and a couple of un-claimed bid questions. I won't probably earn anything.
In a lucky day you may earn more , but you cannot expect to earn a real salary. There are posters that try to use the system loopholes to earn
money. Those may earn few extra coins, but some of them gets banned from time
to time.
Last year it was a bit better. Crowd-sourcing is still in its innovation phase. This is what we got right now.
I would try to find other motivations for giving answers (helping others, showing your skills, the pleasure of winning a challenge etc.), and to welcome the rewards when they come. That is what I am trying to do.
Sincerely.

Hi Ted,You're referring to Marketplace Questions. While I totally understand your sentiments, I do want to clear up a misconception:When you post a solution to a Marketplace Question, the asker is notified that you have responded, but must pay to view the question. If they do not pay, they cannot see it right away. If the asker doesn't pay to view your question, we will post it as a free question after 7 days. This is done so that you will receive credit for the free solution. Granted, an asker could hypothetically wait for 7 days then view your solution for free. But this is unlikely to occur as this process is not common knowledge and few askers would go to those lengths for some free advice.If you are interested in earning money on FixYa, you should check out our Premium Support, Premium Phone Support, and Premium Tips systems.
