I have been a newbie for so long now it's almost a year,
Some help me get merit and upgrade
you are really a strange member, if I give merit to you then I am considered a con artist.
how could anyone dare to take that risk, there are several ways to get merit, at least be involved in scientific discussions in the forum and provide useful opinions.
Scientific discussions... now we know where are the merit sources.

The right way to get merits is by the quality of your posts, if you don't share your knowledge with the system you will not get merits at all. Bring some good quality posts, a good lecture to the users and voila, there you will get them.
