Buddy, why don't you make a small topic and you really master it? It is much better than you create a topic like this. How can a member who still can't earn single merit, trying to give advice to others about how to earn merits effectively? Even you stated that way can guide you to achieve the legendary member rank. Is it logical and trustable, buddy? NO buddy, people will doubt your suggestion and probably laugh on you. Commonly, people only believe in you once you can prove it yourself.
Regarding what you wrote in the OP, I think it is too general. Even, almost all of them* are not specifically related to the way of earning merits. Make it more specific and more technical.
I also ever made a thread/topic which also covers suggestions related to how to earn merits. Please, check it below:
Thread/topic- Create a useful/helpful thread or topic.
- Its content should be informative, easy to understand, and clearly enough
- The sentences have a correct grammatical function and written in proper punctuation.
- The paragraphs are made in the right order, from opening to closing.
- The topic is delivered in a simple or straightforward manner. Don't make it complicated.
- Unique. It mustn't a copy-paste/plagiarism work.
Reply- It should be on topic.
- The sentences have a correct grammatical function and written in proper punctuation.
- The idea/opinion must be reasonable, unique, and factual.
- The idea/opinion has value or something informative.
- It must be better presenting data or enclosing information sources.
Besides making threads or replies, we can do other things: - Help others. When people asking about information related to forum, exchanges, wallet, or etc
- Report spammers, merit abusers, or bounty cheaters

The list above is created based on my own opinion. If you have others, you can add it to your lists.

You are free to give any suggestions about merits, but it will better if you prove it yourself first.
