Well, as a beginner at bitcointalkz, or for you who just started new, you've gotta try as much as (basically everyday) to keep sharing contents or making eligible posts with also commenting on other people's contents in order to grow your status. When you share your contents here and it is very valid and formidable, people begin to ask questions that could lead to them commending your efforts or contents, by so doing you earn merits from encouraging people.
It's not how many posts you make that make you knowledgeable, but your seriousness in reading from various trusted sources, so many posts are made on forums, but there are still many that fall into the general category.
Gaining profit or rather getting merit is not solely a target, let it flow by itself, people will see your abilities so they will judge whether or not they appreciate the effort you put in. If you want to achieve big goals, then it takes lot of effort and consistency to find a way there.
Even if you don't win the mind of people who view your contents, there's always another, don't GIVE UP! Remember, "Consistency is what transforms Average into Excellence "
Being consistent will bring you to the stage of perfection and many people will find it difficult to stay consistent, because too much hope is at stake, so that when it is not achieved they will give up on the situation.
