Many of us are new to Bitcointalk, even though I am just a
Jr. Member, but many are worried about how to start as a newbie or how to get merit. But I think we all have to agree that it’s not something to worry about or think too much about as a newbie. So today I will try to share my observations and thoughts about Bitcointalk, how to get started, or how to contribute to this forum. But again, as a newbie, I will be making mistakes. If I say something wrong, please correct me. So today I will try to share my observations and thoughts about Bitcointalk, how to get started, or how to contribute to this forum.

Check out the pinned posts or guidelinesFirst of all, if we want to get started with anything, we all need to know some rules or regulations about the platform. I think within the forum section or in every local section, there is a pinned post where all the rules have been discussed. Also, a pinned post helps us find our desired section or any necessary information easily. As newbies, we need proper guidance to avoid mistakes in the forum. So by reading these pinned posts or guidelines, we may know how to start and understand the value or purpose of this forum properly.
Are you looking to earn merit?Some might disagree, but I think we all tend to earn merit and make ourselves into the higher-ranking accounts in this forum. It's a kind of fantasy, I guess. But I believe you'll always get your desired merit if you add some value to the community with your posts or comments. So at first, you have to focus more on your posts or comments. You can share your thoughts about something or anything that you know well. Also, you can share your experience with something relatable to the platform. Which will boost your account and help you grow. Oh, forgot to mention that you shouldn't just post on your local thread. If you opt to earn some merit, try to post or comment on threads like
Bitcoin Discussion,
Altcoin Discussion,
Economies,
Meta, etc., where all the posts or comments must be quality. And of course, don't post something that isn't relatable to that particular thread. If you maintain the quality of your post and follow all the things I have said, you will get merit.
Concentrate on adding value to the forumI think if your main focus is to earn more merit and become legendary just to participate and earn money from the signature campaign, that will not help you grow your account. If you want to be respected and admired by all in the community, you need to do good stuff and show it to the community. Also, it's not mandatory to upgrade your ranking, so do not pay much attention to that; rather, focus on your post quality and think about how much you are contributing to the forum. How will you understand that you are getting noticed by other higher-ranking accounts? Well, you will see everyone engaging with your comments or posts, which should encourage you to continue your passion for this forum. By continuing this good work, you can improve your ranking and merit both very quickly and without paying attention to it. It's all about providing value.
Keep expanding your knowledgeFirstly, don’t set that mindset of joining signatures and earning more money, but focus on knowing more and expanding your knowledge from wherever you can. Well, you have to accept that joining Signature is a process, and you may know that those signature campaigns don't accept newbies, so if you want to be eligible for those campaigns, you must have a higher-ranking account. As a newbie, you need to create quality posts, just like those higher-ranking accounts, while maintaining good relations with those other accounts. Don't spam just be yourself and respectful to others. It's a process of learning, so keep enjoying the process; I am sure you will be successful.
Share your knowledgeAlways remember that if your information benefits someone, you will be applauded greatly by this Bitcointalk community. But don’t worry; you don’t need to have tons of information or experience to help someone. Even though you have to start everything from scratch, you should still try to maintain professionalism in your speech. Just express something that you feel and keep things moving. I understand you may not be a trading, blockchain, or technology expert, but don't be worried. Just imagine where you are right now; other lower-ranked people are chasing you. You are also an important thing in this community. So don't hesitate to pass on the knowledge you have. Be confident. But remember to contain your comments or post discussion within the topic. Don't share any unwanted thoughts; otherwise, your post will be deleted by the moderators.
Find satisfaction in your current level of successEven after following the steps I have mentioned above, if the outcome doesn't satisfy you, don't be sad or gutted; rather, enjoy it. You have learned a lot in the process. I am sure you know that good things come late. Just enjoy this moment as you now know what your responsibility is on this forum and many other things, but don't think to yourself; you are the best. Be self-critical and improve yourself with every opportunity you get. At the end of the day, knowledge is more important than anything.
I hope my writing helps someone. Thank you for reading. Peace🧘♂️
Thank you for sharing this tips, my own tip for you is to be yourself in the forum, be original and don't fake it, make the forum your comfort zone regardless of the backlash I've got from other users (I wouldn't blame them though)
I'd like you to make a better thing out of the negative replies, work on the quality of your posts, be consistent (only you alone can tell why you haven't been active for a long time so I won't judge or make you feel bad and it) don't feel bad buddy because you will get more of the backlash if you fail to learn. It is a tough place my friend, learn before you teach. Like I said, be original and don't fake it.
