First there is put up reddit/quora mashup. List of questions submitted by people. Ranked by up-votes. And you can dismiss questions by clicking "I have seen this". Only catch is that everything has to be a question.
Then put bounties and deadlines for the questions. Regular users can pay to increase the bounty. A week after the question is posted comes the deadline. Then every article written as answer gets posted to everybody who up voted the question.
Then the money is distributed so that 20% goes to the company running the website, 80% is shared among the authors, closely reflecting the up votes of paying users.
