I have been on bitcointalk platform for about 2 months now. I have graduated from Newbie 
and I am now a Junior Member. In fact i cannot wait to become a member, full member, legendary member etc. My post count increases by day but i have not received a single merit.
1. How can I earn some merits?
2. Do i have to buy them?
I am very particular about this issue because I wanted to take part in a particular signature campaign whose minimum qualification was "MEMBER". I really loved the concept of the campaign and would have loved to take part. Since i did not meet the minimum requirement, I could not join. I hope someone will show me the way. I need some merits, thank you.

You can earn merits by posting quality and helpful posts. We newbies just have to be patient enough in ranking up. Find time and effort to browse other posts of those members who has many merits so that we can learn how to create constructive posts and gain some information about the topic that they are posting.
