I am asking a simple question as I see a lot of topics that are dedicated to ranking up or are suggesting ways.
From my personal thoughts, I wanted to rank up because I wasn't wasted and neither I believed that I cannot get into the rank that I am in as a Hero member. It is tough! I agree but it is a cycle that everyone here went through.
I saw here, how high ranking members would be the first to get included in the best signature campaigns. I would feel frustrated as a newbie as I felt all those times how irrelevant I am as a forum member.
I then realised earning is not that a problem with bounties and everything. Getting ranked up was a big challenge and therefore I started focusing on my capability and my skills. I am not a python developer, still I made it with my skills of writing.
Believe in yourself and believe in what you can achieve. In sometime you will see yourself where I am.
