1) Can I get money when answering more questions at linux questions.org?
No, you can't. This is a volunteer forum and if you want to get paid, you need to actually be a consultant.

What does that have to do with anyone here? We don't care what you do, whatever your 'rent house' is, or whatever CD's you're selling.

LOL! I posted that in 2014 and I'm surprised it was that late. No-one buys or sells Linux CDs anymore.

Back before everyone had broadband, it was common for people with broadband and CD burners to burn Linux CDs for the less fortunate, usually charging for the cost of materials.

The OP is 6 years ago…the more recent posts were a couple of years ago.
That said, the only way that I know of to make money “with Linux” is as an admin, either as an employee or as a consultant.
One can also run a hosting company, with or without web development services, on a *nix server…but, as has been said, that’s doesn’t have to be Linux…

In India I know atleast 25 locations at Karnataka and Tamilnadu where people are buying CDS/DVD even now for atleast song/movie/installations.
However I am not interested on travelling from 2005 till now

Great; and we're not interested about your travel plans at all.

No, there aren't. Stop asking. If you want to make money, then get a job. Want funding? Then go look up resources in your area and don't ask us to do it for you. Based on your scripts, I'd not suggest you start an 'IT company' or school.

Other options:

Writing a book and publishing it

Releasing and teaching a course (on udemy or whatever)

Making monetized YouTube videos

Applying for an actual job

I will point out that we [EDIT: used to] have a job board.
