I had reported a bug 2 years back on Quora and got paid for it. While I was using Quora for some online work, I noticed the same bug was present against and reported it. Got paid for the same bug again.

Everyone should try bug bounty research. Especially those in IM filed have good chances as we regularly use popular online websites.

Good job. Do you use an automation tool to find them or just manually?

Yes. Most common automation tool that security researchers use is burp suite. I used the same for this bug.

Can you give me that $500? IMO it will be more awesome to have it in my pockets than your pockets.

how do you report the bug and get paid exactly.

Like do you report the bug first and show it, then ask for payment?

or you email them that you found a bug and will share it after payment?

You'll find the same bug again in the future for sure. Quora has low quality when it comes to management and moderation.

$500 a day is not realistic with bug hunting. Bug hunting has changed a lot. Like in past Facebook payed really well. But now their team does not accept valid bugs easily. I had four bugs triaged on Facebook this year and they later said that they make changes based on those reported bugs but they will not pay for these bugs. However, there is still lot of money to be made overall. And the competition in this field is still less than other types of IM ventures.

You submit the bug first , they validate it and then pay for it after fixing it. Most of the programs are fair or honest and pay if you submit a valid bug.
