Experts Exchange Upgrades Point System to Reward More Contributors with Free Premium Membership
The Network for Technology Professionals Makes it Easier to Earn Free Membership
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Sept. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Experts Exchange, the world's leading network for technology professionals, announced an upgrade to its points system today, making it easier for active contributors to receive free Premium Membership access.
Premium Membership on Experts Exchange gives technology professionals unlimited access to hundreds of video tutorials, thousands of how-to articles, and millions of technology solutions – enabling them to solve difficult problems and learn new technical skills. Experts Exchange also enables members to network with industry-leading peers, to share the latest industry updates and career advice. With this points update, the network will now better reward members for their contributions.
"Quality content and collaboration are the lifeblood of a strong online community," says Brad Rubin, VP of Product & Community at Experts Exchange. "As an online tech community that has been active since 1996, Experts Exchange is full of tech professionals willing to share knowledge to help their peers. Our points upgrade enables us to better reward members for these valuable contributions."
Members of Experts Exchange only need to earn 3,000 points to receive a free month of Premium Membership. They can accomplish this by contributing a single article or video, or by answering a couple of questions. If a member is unable to contribute continuously each month, but has earned over 50,000 points in the previous 12 months, they will receive a free month.
"Our members are busy tech professionals, so we realized that they may not be able to write an article, or answer questions every month," explains Brad, "but we wanted to give them full credit for their previous contributions."
While Experts Exchange's previous point structure was successful in creating a database of over 4 million technology solutions, it sometimes took too long to award points, and members that were inactive for short periods could lose Premium Membership access. The new point system guarantees that all active contributors to the community will receive unlimited access to all content and networking features. To learn more about the new point system, Experts Exchange created an infographic.
