Topic: Merit Tips by mk4 - page 2. (Read 1062 times)

In this case both "not unnecessarily long" and "not necessarily long" are actually viable.

And since I'm in no way an English/grammar expert, I did a bit of research nalang to confirm if I'm right/wrong and it looks like my statement was fine. If I misunderstood what you're trying to say feel free to correct me.

Two formal books that used the same statements. Click on the screenshots to view the link.

You can also add these to the list.

• Read and Understand.
  Karamihan sa mga shitposts, nanggagaling sa mga posters na nagpopost agad-agad without even reading the entirety of the topic/thread.
  People need to understand na may mga users dito sa forum na sadyang iba ang nilalagay sa topic title sa kung ano ang topic mismo ng thread.
  Most shitposters kasi, topic title lang binabasa; ang resulta, redundant post, or napaka-off topic na reply. 
  Kaya if you want a high possibility of gaining merits, make sure to read and understand the topic you're responding to first.
• Reply only on topics that interests you.
  There's nothing wrong with learning more, pero kung nagsisimula ka pa 'lang, it's best to post and reply only on topic na kung saan ay may interest ka, sa topic na knowledgeable kana.
  This may be a "Bitcoin" forum but there's a ton of other topics in this forum that tackles different niche and interests. Search around. 
  

I have read other posts na din regarding merits and how to earn such pero I think iba pa din talaga kapag galing sa kapwa Pinoy. Primarily because mas madaling maunawaan yung mensahe na nais iparating.

This is really helpful and if you don't mind guys, I'll just add some of my thoughts.


I remember the first time I joined this forum, I was clueless. I knew nothing, not even a single fact, about bitcoin. So I did my research. As op have said, the basics. Dun lang muna ako sa kaya kong maintindihan. Step-by-step kumbaga. Kasi, along the way naman, madadagdagan ang mga matutunan mo through your interaction with other forum members.


Another important fact! Sources make your post more reliable and believable. Aside from that, kung di naman sa utak mo originally nanggaling yung idea, might as well recognize the author or the website para naman di tayo maakusahan ng plagiarism. Also, learn how to paraphrase. Don't depend solely on copy-paste.


(With all due respect, op. Maybe you meant "not necessarily". I just noticed a bit of redundancy there. Peace.)

In other words, brevity. It's not always about being lengthy. It's about the content. Remove the unnecessary and irrelevant statements and just highlight your main point.


Give reasons why your point is sound. But also make sure that it is logical so that the reader can follow your train of thought. And don't forget #3.

Yes, parang nakikipag usap lang. After all, we're here to communicate and express, and not to impress.

I also want to share what I've read sa isang post dito sa forum (forgive me if I cannot remember who said it but feel free to remind me guys so I can give credit where credit is due). He said, "if you want to earn merits, don't think about merits." Point is, focus on yourself, on how you post. Improve. Learn more so you can share more. Once you do that, everything will follow. Even merits. So, kalma lang.


Again, such a helpful topic kabayan!
Stay safe everyone — sa Covid at sa bagyo.

Totoo lang gusto ko yung 2 sentences lang.

Pero dahil hindi ako ganon kagaling sa English ay humahaba para lang mapaintindi ko yung opinion ko.
Oops, pang 3rd sentence na, tama na yan. 

Salamat sa tips kabayan.

Most likely not, pero minention ko to dahil dun sa isang reply na nakita ko a few months ago(if I remember correctly). Something something about a banned/accused pinoy member, and ung reply is something like "bakit mo nilalaglag ung kabayan natin?" or something like that. Gusto ko sana hanapin pero mahirap ng kalkalin. 

Sa tingin ko naman may mga hindi nagbibigay ng merits dito dahil lang gawang Pinoy pero maganda na din na mabasa ito ng mga madalas magreklamong kulang daw sa suporta dito sa lokal.

Para iwas din sa ban for plagiarizing. May naalala akong user na nasabihan din ng ganito dati, buti mabait yung local mod natin at hindi pa siya na-ban. Paalala lang din na huwag lang mag-post ng kung ano-ano (yung tipong hindi mo naman naintindihan) tapos lagay lang ng source....then submit topic sa mga merit giveaways.

---

Allow me to add one more, Be consistent sa pag-post. Huwag yung tipong mag-post ng isa tapos lalayas na, ito madalas gawain ng mga typical spammers. At least build some kind of reputation dito para makilala ka by continuously engaging in quality discussions.
 

Maraming salamat sa impormasyon kabayan, bago palang ako sa forum na ito at gawa ng pagbabasa sa mga iilang thread nalaman ko na mayroon palang board para sa Local kaya naman natutuwa ako dahil ang buong akala ko halos mga international people lang yung mga kasali dito pero nang makita ko ito nagulat ako na napakarami palang pilipino dito.

Gusto ko lang I-generalize yung tips mo kabayan, para makakuha tayo ng merit kailangan natin makapag ambag ng magandang impormasyon dito, kailangan yung impormasyon na kapag nabasa mo ay masasabi mong may laman talaga at binigyan ng effort sa pag gawa ng thread, kailangan natin ng malawak na kaalaman sa bitcoin o kaya naman sa crypto world ng sa ganun makagawa rin tayo ng maganda at maayos na thread.

Salamat sa advise kabayan, madami akong pagkakamali sa mga nagawa kong thread kamakailanmayroon doong plagiarism, pinapahaba lang pero di naman ganun ka useful yung thought at minsan mema mema lang, pero nang mabasa ko ito nalinawan ako sa aking pagkakamali at gusto ko na baguhin yung paraan ng pag gawa ko ng thread dahil hindi talaga useful yung mga yun lol.

Narito ang mga ilang kadahilanan kung bakit hindi maayos ang nagagawang thread:
1. Hindi gaanong maalam tungkol sa bitcoin o kaya crypto world. May mga alam sila unti pero hindi sapat iyon para makapag share ng magandang impormasyon o kaya naman may nakits silang impormasyon pero hindi nila mapaliwanag ng maayos dahil di sila gaanong maalam tungkol dito.
2. Kagustuhang makakuha agad ng merit kaya panay gawa ng mga thread ng hindi pinagiisipan (sorry sa term pero I am one of that).
3. Tinatamad, isa ito sa dahilan din para sakin pero kung sakaling iisipin natin kung gaano ka worth it ang kaalaman na malalaman natin, at ang result ng kasipagan natin sa pag gawa ng mamagandang impormasyon paniguradong di tayo tatamarin.

Thanks for the effort making this tips for all of us, this is for all the rank in bitcointalk, even myself, I am a Hero Member already but I am not earning a lot of merits, TBH, I am always impress with your posts, maybe if I have more time to spend, I'll be able to be more constructive posters like you.

I hope this will be put as a sticky thread. 

Yep. It's not super easy, but it ain't hard either.

While having your own "style" is not really 100% necessary, dahil most of all ang importante in the end is ung content, yes, having your own sort of "style" of saying things might help significantly. Kumbaga sa mundo ng libro, gaano man ka-informative at ka-ganda ng knowledge ni binibigay ng libro mo, pero kung pangit ang pagka-sulat, it won't gain as much traction.

Thanks and I appreciate it, but you're giving me too much credit lol.

Thank you for sharing some tips sir! You are a good model for Filipino users in this community.

Actually, hindi na mahigpit talaga ang merit system para sa mga baguhan. As I have seen sa mga merit source and other legendaries, binibigyan talaga nila ng merit yung mga quality post even if you are a newbie or a higher rank.

Masasabi ko din na sadyang mahirap din talaga gumawa ng isang quality post. Minsan, kailangan mo talagang gumawa ng thread para lang mapansin ang idea na gusto mong ibahagi. Kailangan mo din talaga ng research, understanding and time to share quality post in this forum.

Yes, hindi naman talaga assurance ang pagpopost ng napakahahaba para mabigyan ng merit. Ang members kasi ay nakafocus sa tinatawag na content over porma.

In my own case, I did a lot of post, I don't think think that some of them are irrelevant or unuseful even to the newbies. I have shared what I've learned in trading, tips and so far. Pero wala, yung akala ko na malalim kasi sakin, basic na lang sa iba.

But 1 day, I followed some techniques and strategies to make your post attractive (thanks for the thread made by cabalism and finalshot about tips on making a quality post). Marami din akong realization kung papaano umatake ng panlasa ang mga good quality poster dito. And from that, I gradually realize how to attack the eye of the audience.

Proudly to say kahit na in small amount, I got 40 merits when I came back since April, 2020. Yes, that is only a small amount of merit compared to others. But, you will be satisfied when you will receive merits because of your post. I am also glad that merit system for me works out. And I am glad to say that I captured the eye of cyrus and suchmoon from one of my post.

Yes, para sa iba maliit na bagay yung achievement ko sa ngayon. But I am eager to continue posting and be a senseful member of this forum. Kahit na mahirap, kakayanin basta tyaga at determinasyon lang.

One tip also I can say, given na kasi sa taas yung iba:

Impression:

Gaya ng sinabi ko, we should have our own style to attack a certain topic. We have to realize that everybody who are posting or making a thread has higher IQ. But once you caught their eye probably, that will be a win-win situation for you. We have also need to take our reputation in this forum because some of the users are watching us. And if they see you that you are a quality poster, they wouldn't hesitate to send you the right numbers you deserve for.

Dumugo ilong ko. Haha.

Kudos to mk4,
One of the brilliant members in btt.

Sayang kabayan out of gas na'ko para magbigay. Bigyan sana kita lol  . Kiddin' aside, thanks for taking care of us pa rin to grow up with this simple thread.

Additional rin siguro 'yong best representative per board, and 'yong capable of gathering users na ma-engage sa thread na gagawin niya?. Dunno but I think incentives 'yon? May nabasa lang ako na case sa removal ni iansenko ba 'yon? Though he's a good poster. Here's the link. Am not totally certain ah, peace .

Going back, may gusto rin ako idagdag. I may not be in the place to say this and medyo ironic kung sasabihin ko 'cause I am still on the process pa rin naman of growing up here. But whatever, I wanna say this either way.

• Don't make generic post/replies - like if may nag ask what bitcoin is then sasabihin mo it is a cryptocurrency and such.

'Di pa naman name-mention 'to right? Or baka may na misinterpret ako from the list above. Ayon lang siguro napansin ko sa karamihan sa users and even I myself. I am not trying to say na mag-stand out over the others (kasi natural na mangyayari 'yon). Put some difference lang and standing out among the others would naturally come.

One last thing to add na rin. Hindi 'to necessarily need para maka-earn ng merit but an advice lang para tumagal ka rito. Have fun lang while staying. Don't ever let the bad feeling of not receiving any merits spoil the fun. That's it!

Stay safe rin kabayan!

You are really good poster and we can really observed that as you are part of one of the popular Signature campaign and we all know na good poster lang ang natatanggap diyan.

The list you make is concise and direct to the point. Marami ang nahihirapan sa mga Pilipino, makakuha ng merit dahil sa totoo lang hindi naman talaga madali makakuha, but as per your guide kung gagawin lang naman talaga nila ang best nila and ippriority ang learning kaysa sa earning hindi malabo na mabilis lang silang makakaproduced ng merit to rank up.

Ive started as hunter upon joining here, and I realized na mas malawak pala talaga ang forum outside sa simpleng airdrop and bounty. So I try to make up sa mga hindi ko alam, like pag attach ng mga image, codes, and etc.

I agree with this, Dont spread your eggs on one basket ika nga. Take it as bonus na lang yung earning dito aside sa employment or business na we have IRL.

---

Anyway nice suggestion and thanks for this, sana tumataktak to sa maraming low rank na pilipino and maging inspiration ang mga katulad mo na user dito.

Una sa lahat, I want to make some things clear:

• I'm against account farming. Kung nagpapalago ka ng multiple accounts para makasali sa maraming campaigns(bato bato sa langit), deseve mong ma-ban dito sa forum.
• Against ako sa pag-gamit ng Bitcointalk solely para kumita lang ng pera. Keep the earnings secondary, and keep the passion for Bitcoin first. Look at the potential earnings only as an extra bonus.
• Against ako sa pagbibigay ng merits sa kapwa pilipino solely dahil lang sa pilipino ang isang tao. Let's keep nationaility and race out of the equation. Your post deserves merits? You receive merits. Your post doesn't deserve merits? You don't receive merits. Simple as that. Hindi porke kabayan tayo e dadayain na natin ung systema.
• Walang isang tamang paraan para magpalago ng account sa Bitcointalk. Ito ay opinyon ko lamang.
• Pasensya na kung taglish ako lagi. *lol*

So, bakit ko ginawa tong topic na ito?

• Para matulungan ang ating kababayan. Knowing na it's safe to assume na marami saatin ang walang trabaho ngayon dahil sa pandemic.
• Para sanang maalis sa utak ng mga tao na spammer ang ilan sa mga pilipino dahil dun sa recent controversy concerning Polar91.
• To overall increase ung reputation ng mga pilipino.
• Boring sa bahay at kailangan ko na magpagupit dahil nagmumukha na akong wolverine.

Anyway, eto na ang iilang tips:

1. Know little to nothing about Bitcoin? Go do some research first. In the first place, nasa Bitcointalk forum ka. Kung wala kang masyadong alam tungkol sa Bitcoin, bakit mo sinusubukang kumita ng pera agad agad? Parang isang high school graduate na walang working experience na gusto agad maging CEO ng isang malaking kumpanya. (over-exaggerated, but you get the point)

Kung tingin mong kailangan mo maging expert sa Bitcoin para kumita ng merits, nope. You only need to know enough. Kung tutuusin ung basics lang sapat na eh. If you're not even willing to learn the basics, probably go try earning money in some other places instead.

2. Add your sources. As much as possible pag may sinasabi ka sa isang thread or reply, add your sources kung maaari. Having sources simply gives your post more validity. Though syempre, piliin niyo rin ung sources niyo. Wag ung kung ano anong random website lang.

3. Make your posts in-depth, but not unnecessarily long. Pag madalas kang magbasa basa sa forums, halatang halata ung mga ibang post na pasadyang pinahaba lang ung post para magmukhang mas "constructive". Trust me, nahahalata ng karamihan iyon. Kung sapat na ung 2 sentences na sagot, then keep it at 2 sentences! It's the content that matters in the first place, hindi ung length.

4. Expound. May nagtatanong kung anong magandang wallet gamitin? Sagutin niyo ng maayos and give your reasons kung bakit un ang suggestion niyo. Wag ung susuggest niyo lang ung Electrum tapos sasabihin niyo lang "not your keys not your bitcoin". Add more details. But then again, wag ung pasadyang pinahaba lang ung post.

5. Be more "organic". Based on my experience, mas maganda ang feedback sa posts pag ang writing style mo e ung parang nakikipag usap lang sa tao, compared dun sa posts na nagmumukhang kinopy-paste sa isang article(kahit na hindi). Take note, walang masama sa pagiging masyadong technical at formal sa pag gawa ng topics at replies. Again, opinyon ko lamang.

"Quick" final thoughts.

If you need to try so hard to earn merits, most likely baka hindi ka qualified to earn merits in the first place. Kung mapapansin niyo, ung mga ibang malalaki ang merit count sa Bitcointalk, parang ang casual lang silang nagpopost pero angdaming nagbabato sakanila ng merits. Bakit? Simply dahil mataas ang kaalaman nila tungkol sa Bitcoin to the point na magaganda lahat ng sagot nila tungkol sa mga topics kahit walang ka effort effort ang pagsagot nila.

Second, please don't make Bitcointalk your main source of income. Maganda man ang opportunities dito knowing na nasa isang mahirap na bansa tayo, take note na masyado tayong nakasalalay sa Bitcoin at sa Bitcointalk. Though wag naman sana, some time in the future, possibleng bumagsak ang presyo ng bitcoin, at possible rin na mamatay someday ang Bitcointalk. Pag nangyari un, paano na? Ang experience mo lang e magpost sa forums at sumama sa bounties?

Anyway, may mga harsh truths man, take it as inspiration. If you think you're probably not qualified, try to learn the ropes muna. Think long term and don't rush in.

Habang kumikita ng extra sa Bitcointalk, try to start other online(or offline) businesses rin para naman ma-diversify ang income natin at hindi tayo umaasa sa iisang industriya at iisang website.

Lastly, best of luck sa lahat, and keep safe mga kabayan 🇵🇭.
