The first thing to do is to step back and say to yourself -"Why do I want to increase my rank? "

If your answer is that you don't really care about Bitcoin or virtual currencies, but you heard that Bitcoin Talk is a handy way to pick up some extra income, then you should re-evaluate your motives. This isn't a forum for people to earn easy money by just posting garbled rubbish.

If you are here to learn how to use Bitcoin, or to explore the world of Bitcoin, then welcome to the forum. You should be able to earn points by asking reasoned questions, as well as providing insights and help, but please make sure that your question hasn't been asked many times before.
