Announcements

FixYa has already given away two brand new iPads, to Experts logosc75 and shark2th667, and you could be the next big winner!

As announced in the Experts Lounge, FixYa’s Experts will get one raffle entry for each Testimonial they earn during the month of November. Each time you post a free solution, you have the chance of earning a Testimonial! Askers give Testimonials when they receive great solutions, so check out this Tip on how to create praise-worthy solutions.

At the end of November, we’ll hold a drawing and one lucky Expert will win an awesome new iPad. The winning Expert will be reviewed to ensure that they’ve been providing quality assistance and that their Testimonials were legitimately earned.

Earning a chance to win for each solution you post is yet another reason to help people now!

Early this month, FixYa had the pleasure of surprising one of our Experts, logosc75, with a brand new iPad. This month we’re having a new raffle, and it’s anyone’s game!

As announced in the Experts’ Lounge, our Experts will be receiving one raffle entry for each Testimonial they receive during the month of October. At the end of the month, we’ll have a drawing and another lucky Expert will receive a brand new iPad.

Askers only give Testimonials if they’re truly pleased with the service they’ve received, so make sure to wow them with high-quality, detailed solutions. Check out this Tip for guidelines on how to provide top-notch assistance. FixYa staff will be auditing the winner to ensure that they’ve been providing quality assistance and that their Testimonials were legitimately earned.

Every single free solution has the potential to win you an iPad, so get out there and make sure to put your best foot forward!

In case you weren’t aware, FixYa is giving away crazy cash and prizes to its Experts! We’re running two contests to reward the Experts who contribute the largest amount of high-quality solutions. When these contests end on September 30th, we’re going to be giving away big cash prizes and raffling off a brand new iPad!

The first contest is a race to see who can provide the most solutions to free, unsolved questions. Experts must maintain an 80% asker rating in order to be eligible. At the end of September, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers will be awarded $500, $250, and $100 respectively.

It’s tax season! Time for FixYa to take stock of what we’ve done during the last 12 months and make sure we’re squared away with Uncle Sam. We need to collect a little information from our Premium Experts and Premium Tips Experts, which will only take a few seconds to complete.

If you are a Premium Expert or a Premium Tips Expert, please visit the “Premium Expert Information” section of your Edit Profile page. Enter your name and the location where you primarily perform your Premium activities (don’t forget to click “Save Changes”). That’s all you have to do!

Before FixYa looks to the New Year, we want to reflect on the last month of 2009. That’s when three of our Premium Experts wowed us with their technical prowess and superb support skills, earning themselves FixYa’s second Holiday Bonus award.

Congratulations to our first place $500, Ekse! As Ekse approaches the end of his second year on FixYa, we want to make it known how much we value the contributions he has made to our community. Ekse is a consummate professional and has unparalleled insight into the workings of our site, making him a great help to both our customers and our staff.

Our second place winner, tbirdfan1, takes home the $250 prize. He’s a relatively recent addition to FixYa’s community, but he has made his mark as a dedicated tech who continually produces great work. Thank you, tbirdfan1, for bringing fresh talent to FixYa!
