Other Points

Go to the top of the page and put your curser in your name. You will get a drop down menu and half way down you will see points.  All you need to know is in that tab

The answer to accumulating points is a single word: ACTIVITY !

By taking a "walk in the Rain" EVERY day, you will gain points but more important, you will gain knowledge.   At first it can be difficult but perseverence will pay off in the long run.   Being consistent will increase your SEO and the added visibility can increase your business.

Over time, points are nice but your ACTIVITY level is most important !

Just go to point breakdown & you'll get an idea.

The important thing is to be consistent.

Looks like you got a pretty good answer already Coal, welcome to Active Rain.

Coal,

So many gave you the answer you need.  I can wish you a great week ahead. A

Points give one the incentive to be a frequent and consistent blogger.

The goal is 500,000 pt or more to not pay for AR subscription. You need to blog 1538 days with one blog a day to attain that level.

I have checked your profile.  I suggest you get a website. The blogs and website work hand to hand. 

Points are earned for almost every activity. In fact if you are agressive, you can earn almost 50,000 points in a month.

Under your name, click points.  There is a breakdown link at the top of the points page, in the paragraphs there.

See answer provided by Melissa Jackson and the extra input by Mimi Foster .

Larry Johnston spell it out pretty good.

Looks like you got your answer ... and then some. Ain't AR great?

What Melissa Jackson said!

I think many people have covered how to score points but i have one tip to help you get those points adding up. Be active everyday. Write a blog daily. read and comment on at least 20 blogs per day and check out the q and a page. 

Melissa nailed this one for you.

Just look at the current schedule.

It was nice to see so many people respond to this message.
