How can you take phone calls for fixya?
Hi 03mazda6, welcome to Fixya! Glad to hear that you're interested in providing Premium Phone Support.
In order to apply to provide Phone Support, you must first earn at least one Category Expert Badge. You do that by answering at least 50 free, unsolved problems in a given category, receiving at least 5 ratings on those solutions, and maintaining at least an 80% average asker rating on those solutions. There's a module on the right of your Answer Questions page that will help you track your progress towards new Badges. Category Expert Badges you've earned will appear at the top of that module, as well as on the left of your My Profile page.
Once you have earned a Category Expertise Badge, you will be able to apply to provide Phone Support via the banner advertising it on your Answer Questions page. You will need a US phone number to apply.
FixYa is currently doing a major overhaul on Phone Support, to introduce some key features our Experts requested. While we're working on these changes, we will not be doing Phone Support interviews or approving new Experts. However, as soon as the changes are complete, hopefully within the month, we will immediately start approving new Experts for the system.
Here is a link that explains about Phone Support, as well as the other ways to earn money on FixYa- http://www.fixya.com/support/r4153283-get_started_earning_money_fixya

I am dying and want to delete my Fixya account. We are not allowed to.
Well that is truly a sorry statement to hear.
No one every hears from 'Support' as the site is now owned by a capital investment company. If all your posts are 'Anonymous', no one will know who you are or where. If you did use your real name, wouldn't you want your legacy in written form to exist forever.
Yes, you can either change your email in settings to one that doesn't exist, or delete the Gmail account linked to it.
If you click Comment below with a link to one of your posts, I can delete any posts that have your name under them, or any answers you have made.
Let me know.

Age: 71, EnglishUserFixya wants to know my age 71 and speak englishThank you for providing your age and mentioning that you speak English. How can I assist you today?UserHow to speak English in this ageSpeaking English at any age is absolutely possible and can be a rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you improve your English speaking skills:Enroll in an English class: Consider joining an English language course specifically designed for adult learners. These classes often provide structured lessons, practice activities, and opportunities to speak and interact with others.Practice regularly: Dedicate time each day to practice speaking English. You can do this by engaging in conversations with native English speakers, participating in language exchange programs, or finding language partners online.Listen to English: Surround yourself with English as much as possible. Listen to English podcasts, watch movies or TV shows in English, and listen to English music. This exposure will help you familiarize yourself with the language's sounds and rhythms.Speak with confidence: Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Speaking fluently takes time and practice. Have confidence in your abilities and be willing to communicate even if you're not perfect. Native English speakers will appreciate your effort.Expand your vocabulary: Learn new words and phrases regularly. Make use of vocabulary-building resources such as flashcards, language learning apps, or online word lists. As you learn new words, try to use them in your conversations.

Hello Ernest
This is your posting history.

You have no questions of your own. You can search Fixya for your problem and see if it has been asked before. If you ask something on an old question, it is unlikely to be answered. It is better to ask your own question. A couple of tips...
Put 'make model (what it is)' as the first three words.. For a car, 'year make model'.
There are 10,000 categories to choose from. Proof read before posting. Use proper sentences and punctuation please.
What if we attach a
You can add helpful links to your solutions by using the link icon in the bottom right of the "add your solution" form.I wouldn't suggest adding any non-solution related links, spam or self promotion as it's likely to be reported and/or removed.
Are accounts deleted if they have not been logged into for a while?
I remember you Dennis!
Accounts are never deleted unless you are a persistent spammer and of course that is not the case with you.
The information you posted is very dated. No one here earns cash, not even me, I have been here since the start, currently 8 to 12 hours a day, 55,583 questions answered, 7.5 million people helped (the counter broke at 6.5 million). The only opportunity to earn cash is on the sister site
www.6ya.com which is a telephone service. The Fixya site was sold a few years back to Globalscape who are a capital investment company specializing in online website communities that generate millions of dollars in advertising revenue.
And the last bit is no longer true :>(
To become a Premium Expert you must answer at least 30 free questions in the last 30 days and maintain a Wiz or Guru status

How do you post a tip?
Hi Jon,
The categories should appear in a dropdown as you begin typing. There are many categories, which is why they are not all listed at once. Start typing and you should see a dropdown appear.
Also note that when posting a tip it may be a short time before the tip will show since tips must be reviewed.
If you continue to have problems, please leave me a comment or feel free to contact the Fixya Support Team for more help with troubleshooting.

How does fixya make money?
By all the click through advertising that you see all over the page. There is currently a Free 30 Day Trail of Equifax at the bottom of my screen that has just changed to Tier One Rewards and now 'sports Interaction Bet Online'. All the Experts here provide answers for no pay, and just the enjoyment of helping others. The site is now owned by a Capital Investment company. They sit back and watch the cash roll in 24/7 :>D
