Guys I couldn't give merit for I am also one of those who struggle earning it, what I can give is a sort of moral support, for I know many here lose hope of ranking up because they failed to get merit after doing their best in constructing "quality post".
Just imagine this guys, when we rank up and become a "member" at least, opportunity to earn from signature campaigns can surely help us on our finances, try reading and continue learning, the higher rank we get in, the more chances of earnings.
Continue working hard and don't give up, rewards are coming for those who never stop trying.
I was tempted to put you on ignore for that post. You shouldn't be here to try to scratch coins from the efforts of the established members.
You remind me of the guy who walks along the street looking for pennies to pick up, and as a result he fails to see the advertisement offering him a well paid job.
