Creating a topic is not as easy as it looks. Am running low on ideas; with this one having to literally source for contents no one would have seen or given a second thought to. With having to ensure I also avoid the pitfalls of plagiarism or spam.
These days, with so many topics and discussions held here, I wonder what topic it is, that I would create that hasn't been created already or the kind of discussion that wouldn't head in same direction with answers of old.
Where can I get good quality materials and topic sources from?
How do I tailor a discussion to get the right answers?
You might be able to bring up the latest news regarding economic discussions as was done by @Hydrogen on the economics board accompanied by his views and opinions, but before you raise the latest news as a topic of discussion, you should first understand what will be discussed in the forum. so that the discussion can proceed according to the topic.
If so, you need to always be updated about the economy in various parts of the world and understand what is being discussed.
Or other recent news such as developments in the adoption of Bitcoin and Altcoin projects, but you also have to know where to place the topics that you will discuss according to the discussion board.
Don't focus on creating topic threads to earn Merit, but focus on contributing quality discussion to the forum.
The merit will come according to the quality.
