If I profit from my website (w/ google adsense), do I have to pay volunteers?

Question

I'm going to start using google adsense with one of my websites that has started becoming more and more popular. I have some volunteers that offered to help me with some parts of it and they are very reliable. If I start making money on my website is it illegal to not pay them part of my profit?

EDIT - I don't know if it matters, but I do not personally know any of the people who volunteer on my website. I have met them all on the internet and I don't actually know them.

Answer 1

No, you have no reason to pay them. If they volunteer, why would you pay them?

Answer 2

I'm giving away a FREE ADSENSE EBOOK that will teach you how you can make 5 figure incomes with adsense a month.

Answer 3

As a token of appreciation for their help, you may want to offer them a part of your profit. However, you can choose not to give them since you don't actually know them.

Answer 4

You don't have to pay them, but it's always good to treat them well.  I often send them small gifts, and I always try to give them public accolades on the site.

You can also give them fun tasks.  I had a music site a while back that would often get interviews with big-name musicians.  I'd often let our volunteers do the interviews, especially if it made geographic sense.
