There are several helpful topics:

Bonus:
It is a collective topic from @LoyceV. You should spend minutes or hours to find out:
[GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?)
There are also different approaches to 'legally' earn merits:
- Contributing to the forum discussions with constructive, helpful, on-context uniqe - if possible - threads. (sounds boring, right? I believe it is one of the most boring recommendations because you can see it many times in the forum).
- Making statistical analysis on many aspects of the forum. For example: Merit distributions, merit abusements, data storage sources for later use, etc.
- Etc.

As I see you can get merit if somebody like your comment or post and give you merit. If you want you can buy account with certain rank here.

Actually, more like the magic of your brain, your hands will only type what your brain comes up with   and true, you have to write something meaningful and relative to the topic been discussed and with some luck someone might see it and merit that for you 

Meaningful and helpful posts will get merit. Don't spam, read more and post less.

Getting a merit should need an extensive research and would need a very helpful and effective post of all. Thus, it would speak on the whole issue, suggestion, and guide to this forum and the community. However, recently some of those high ranks would have to make a merit on their less rank account in order to attain the highest level; thus, even when the post is not as quality as it should be. So, right now, there are flaws on who gets the merited.

You need to write exceptional posts that people will reward merit that you will receive.
It sounds like hard thing to do, but more you know about bitcoin and more you are here on forum chances of doing that without thinking increases greatly.

When we talk about Merits in Bitcointalk.org we are referring to:

1. Merit - the credit we need to rank up (Visit Meta board for it)
2. Merit - now we have project that will be having their coin with "merit"

I figure you mean Bitcointalk ...

Actually, being concerned with what Merit is and how it is awarded on this forum right from the start is good, since you can avoid many of the common errors made on this forum, which head you completely in the opposite direction.

The basics that you need to grasp is that, in order to be awarded Merit, your posts need to stand out a bit from the average post, transmitting something that seems constructive, interesting, controvertíal, knowledgeable, or whatever it may be. The important thing is to focus is on investing time on your posts, and not posting just in order to increase your activity. Documenting yourself and being able to give a personal view on a given subject is appreciated, whilst non-contributive onliners will never ever get you any merit.

Bear in mind that all your posts count, helping to build your persona through your posting history. That is very often looked at by merit awarders, so even if you make a decent post, having a crappy posting history will likely get you nowhere.

Do not post in megathreads, as they are considered basically spam threads and merit awarders rarely go into those swaps at all. Visibility is a feature, and good posts in megathreads will render invisible.

99,9% of the times, bounty hunting is an enemy of merit. Unless you are rather exceptional, here again a posting history constructed by multiple bounty reports says very little for your persona, and you will very likely be ignored meritwise. If bounty hunting is your core goal, forget merit altogether, as you will never receive enough to rank up.

There is an overall shortage of sensible merit in my opinion (founded on what I’ve seen through statistics). This is also an increasing opinion amongst the higher ranks, but so is the fact that there is a lot of spam all over the forum. Spam will likely bury some good posts, but you need to stand out a bit to be merited since merit is rather picky, possibly due to it’s scarcity.

In summary, put effort into your posts. A decent amount of effort will likely be spotted, but no effort is just skipped at the speed of light.

Merit awarders are not magical creatures that roam the forum. They are people like you and me, and award merit because they believe it helps the forum overall to contain spam amongst other things. This is rather time consuming, so all in all this works both ways, as meriters would rather find decent posts to merit than waste their time.

A full explanation of how merit is generated can be found here: re:Who can award merits.

if you really want to earn merit then read these articles seriously...

merits are given by the people who have merits for the useful and good posts,remember only 50% of of his/her merit can be given by the person to the other.Hope this helps you 

It is merit in bitcointalk but I don't think there is a merit in bitcoin. Merit is earned base on your output on this forum by posting a quality and educated post which will earn you the merit by people who have it in stocks.

First of all, you're not earning merits over Bitcoins but Bitcointalk (this forum)! Don't adjoin both of them together as they're not related to each other in any way.

Second, if you're interested in earning merits, stop thinking about it and start working here by learning more and more, gain better knowledge about each of the concepts here that you see and try to understand what does it literally mean. That's how you will EARN merits, by working for them being completely selfless. People here give good merits to posts that possess an information that is much better and newer or at least more informative than others, so don't worry. Forget about them and just put more efforts in improving your quality as well as make on-topic posts.

What's problem with merit system ? I have visited your profile. You have not yet post your own. All reply you have given that's look like pure spam. Most of reply on bounty thread. So how you are expect merit? Let me know what are useful post on your profile that you are deserve merit ? You just come here for earn money. Nothing els.

Get a measure is an unattainable dream. Therefore, we work and earn pennies since the appearance of the merit

If you make a good post and people in above hierarchy likes that post, they may grant you 1 merit. This is how this works and there is no other option. So impress them all with the magic of your hands and get the merits

I just found myself losing money in this market and have achieved nothing

Thankyou for the advise but who is going to give their merits to you no matter how valuable your comment or opinion is

Merit does not earn, it is an expression of trust and support for your statements.

I don't know, you have what or share up for all people.
