Suppose an individual is looking for a solution to a complex question. There are several problems: (1) the ways to find the qualified answer/solution are COMPLICATED, since the answers from the search engines and social networks are shallow and unreliable. The individual needs to find a competent professional able to solve his/her problem, but (2) self search for the appropriate expert-consultant is DIFFICULT, as (3) the competent experts-consultants are NOT COLLECTED in one place. Besides, (4) it is CRUCIAL to ensure the balance between cost and quality of individual professional consultation.

A new online platform YOUQUERIST where people who have questions (QUERISTS) can post their queries/problems and get from appropriate consultants (EXPERTS) the qualified answers/solutions in the form of affordable payable individual professional consultations.

There are many Q&A sites and JOB OFFER services and experts network alternatives for professionals and freelancers with different business models (e.g. Upwork, Quora, Fiverr, TopTal, GLG, LinkedIn, Zintro, Answers, PeoplePerHour, etc.)

Our Unique Value Proposition is to deploy the global web-service which would be designed for general public and operate with QUERIES (questions/problems) of QUERISTS in the way to facilitate getting, by most affordable manner, individual qualified answers/solutions by attracting competent EXPERTs on paid basis.
