A great week for tutorials, with tons of newcomers and a lot of stiff, new competition to score in the top 10. There were more than 10 tie-breakers! As a reminder, if you tie with another contestant for the number of eligible tutorials submitted, the "Read" count is what is used to break the tie. Good luck, and the tablet for the month of November is *still* anyone's game!
Remember:
1. One tutorial is all it takes to enter.
2. Most who have entered have won some cash (92% 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).
