50,000 Points in One Month! Are You Kidding?

I try...

What points?

No.

Who do you think I am, Praful Thakkar? I probably don't, but I do my quota at a minimum--answer at least 10 questions, comment on at least 20 posts, try to post 10 per week, enter the contests/challenges I'm interested in. I don't ask a lot of questions. Occasionally I write up a review of a product or service. I follow the people I'm interested in. The remaining points come from people liking your stuff and following you and commenting on your posts--that's not in our control. If figure somewhere in the vicinity of 30,000 points per month is totally respectable.

I'm not doing every point activity out there. I do a lot when I have time, but lately my time is being spent on buyers and sellers. 

I do better than most on this but I could do better.

I try.

Russ, I do not as I don't post that much.  I will occasionaly report a spam comment for a big, fat FIVE points.

I figured out that slow and steady is a good strategy to building points. If you log in every day and write four comments, that's 200 points a day -- 6,000 points a month -- 72,000 points a year.  Then add in a few blogs, a few Likes given and received, a few Questions asked and answered, and voila`!  100,000 points a year is a very reasonable goal.

I know I dont.  I dont spend alot of time on AR though.  I think its important being out in front of people face to face.  I dont spend alot of time online here or on FB.

I know I'm not. Very busy and traveling in my market. I don't have the time as before it seems. I usely limit my self to about 45 mins per day. 

I try to get 10-20 comments in each day. I reply to each comment I receive.  I average about two posts and one Wordless Wednesday each week.  No, I'm not getting the max I could be, but I'm doing as much as I feel comfortable with.

Not after losing so many during past changes  /  updates made.

No...for us, points are not the point...time and topics and marketing dictate that...recruiting members will enable you to pile on points...or doing the maximum of whatever is allowed...blogs,  questions, comments, answers.

No I don't get them all.  I do my quota of comments, answering questions and that is about it.

No, I'm definitely not.  My blog is generating so many calls and biz that I don't have time.  I'm doing less than 20 comments a day and prob. only 3-4 posts a week and doing a bit of Q&A.

I'm prob. only doing 1/2 or less of the contests.

But, one thing I do have going for me is invite points, as I have a few members who I invited who are kicking butt, so I'm probably getting between 3,000-6,000 pts from that each month.
