And yes, Fixya allows you to earn money. If you have technical expertise in any field – for example,computer, TV , eletronicds you may like to join Fixya. Fixya provides a very good opportunity to earn money – and that too online.
Registering is quick and you need to begin with by giving quality answers to questions that customers face. This helps you move up in the ranks. Once you have reached to a threshold you to be a Premium Expert.There are certain minimum requirement to become a premium expert. You need to provide solutions to at least 30 problems. You must also maintain an average rating of at least 75%. Once you have become a premium member you can make money online.
For each solved problem you make $5. Notice that you make $5 per solved premium solution only after 101 problems. Here is the table that shows that you make
* Up to 50 “Solved” Premium Solutions – $3.00 per solution
* 51-100 “Solved” Premium Solutions – $4.00 per solution
* 101 or more “Solved” Premium Solutions – $5.00 per solution
Fixya also allows you to give support using live chat support. You set the pices that you will charge for chat support. Now the negatives – Fixya charges a huge 60% as commission from each chat seecion.
Fixya provides a good opportunity to the experts. However you must be aware of the huge commission it charges to the experts – this is to the tune of 50%. Also Flixya takes freee services from you for the first 30 helps. This is exorbitantly high. Justanswer.com, for example takes the responsibility of certifying the experts itself. Fixya is a clever solution – but not the best one. Solvate.com is another similar platform where the quality of the experts is even higher and they do not require you to pay free services before you start providing your services.
There are some even better platforms. Stay tuned for more information.

I’m afraid your monetary figures are W-A-Y off. The rest of your blog is pretty close. Better platforms than FixYa? Okay. Tell that to 15 million users, at half being in the US. One new question every 5 seconds. Need the truth about the website, ask our community manager. (Not me)
joecoolvette – the truth is fixya is has been hit by Google Panda due to content farm. Its traffic is further down. I do not see any future for fixya.
Same thing for solvate – looks like it is destined to fail.
Well it’s July 23, 2011
FixYa is still around, and starting a new website, I’m still an expert moderator. and yes Gracie, we did land on the moon. What about that, Admin?
