• UNCLAIMED RANK• UNCLAIMED RANK• UNCLAIMED RANK
Three unclaimed ranks this week! Any qualified tutorial submitted would have ranked in the top 10 and achieved a prize.
Remember:
1. One tutorial is all it takes to enter.2. Most who have entered have won some cash (95% win rate so far for entries).3. Everyone who has submitted at least 2 tutorials has absolutely won to date, so your chances are pretty darned good.4. You can take an older, detailed post you've already written and use the "Convert to Tutorial" option so you aren't starting with a blank canvass.5. There are 10 weekly winners every week (Amazon cash) and a monthly winner (Nexus tablet).
That's pretty much the long and short of it. I encourage our veteran users and especially those who have previously written guides to dig those suckers up, format 'em and post them as a tutorial. To have the tutorial qualify, it must, must, must include a screenshot or an image - so don't forget that part. I've had to disqualify a few of 'em that were pretty good but didn't have an image associated, so don't fall into that trap. Also, any tutorial subject can qualify; it doesn't have to be from the Tutorials Bounty List.
