ONLY TOP CONTRIBUTORS read please!!?

Question

Girls and guys how did you become a top contributor?? I wish i was one any tips???

Answer 1

I don't think they ever said exactly how many best answers you need in a category to be a "top contributor." I suspect it varies from category to category depending on how popular the category is. Just pick a category that you're good in and answer A LOT of questions in that category and you, too, can be a "top contributor."  Don’t believe people when they say “just answer 50 answers in 30 days” or stuff like that. Yahoo keeps it deliberately vague so they never promised an exact figure to anyone. It may, as I said, vary from category to category.

However, I have a rough idea of how long it takes to become a top contributor because a friend of mine made it after she answered all her questions in only one (1) category for a month in order to earn that badge. She doesn’t log on as often as I do so that only amounted to about 85 answers but she made it. She had a 30% “best answer rating.”

It’s been said somewhere here on Yahoo that you need at least 10% of those answers to be “best answers.” It may take weeks of answering a lot in a category so be patient, Rome wasn't built in a day.

While I made it to “Top Contributor” in two weeks of answering regularly in certain categories, I do log on every single day. It’s harder to make it to Top Contributor if you only log in now and then or, when you log in, you don’t answer a ton of questions.

Just remember, concentrate your energies on ONE sub-category. Don’t answer all categories say, in Health, but concentrate on Alternative Health or Women’s Health or Men’s Health or Diet and Fitness. PICK ONE SPECIFIC CATEGORY AND STICK WITH IT! The biggest mistake most people make is they spread themselves too thin.

But, when you make it, watch out for people like this:

There are people on this site who look for any excuse to say mean things about Top Contributors or report us.

Answer 2

Yeah, what she said. Just keep answering those questions!

Good luck!

Answer 3

I'm not a Top Contributor, but I used to be one. I lost my badge because I started answering in P&S too much. I had a badge for Fashion and Accessories. How you earn a badge is you just have to keep on answering in one specific category and you have to have 10 percent best answer in the category. Just answer a lot in only one category and soon you'll get it. Don't do P&S though, you can't get badges for that and it's addicting, lol :]
