I've been advised that as a newbie i shouldn't rush but to learn from old forum members and grow. But then, I've seen that for one to grow over here you need to get merited and on a regular basis, well i believe at this point i should've been able to acquire some merits, despite the fact that I'm still a Newbie but then i don't see the Merits coming, even after some post i felt could fetch the Merits. It makes me wonder if my posts are not Merit worthy or Quality enough.
Though it almost got me díscouraged, however instead of being discouraged, I'm open to learning ways or how to get the Merits and grow on here, my questions are what I'm i doing wrongly? How can i improve it and also where is the best board to write on if i need these Merits coming?
Well I have been where you are and I think the fault was actually from me because I focus all ma energy on trying to get merit instead of trying as much as possible to actually write and get involved in some discussion because that's the only way that you can acquire anything that will be helpful to you. Knowledge is power and what you don't know is very bigger than you so get involved in discussion by writing and not writing gibberish so that when a merit source or other members here come across your merit they can merit the work.
Everyone has experienced and felt that way before, but for me there’s only one way to make it happen, be more active in the forum and be serious in reading and understanding everyone’s shared concepts and insights. Eventually you will learn from their posts in time. And never limit your reading inside the forum but always find more reliable sources that can give you more relevant information. So that when time comes that you want to participate in discussion, you will have something valuable to share that will attract merit sources to share some of their merits, once they have seen meaningful posts made by you.
