How do you earn more points on Yahoo?

[Simran]

Hey! I'm just new here, I would luv sum more information on how to earn points: how yahoo keeps track of my points, how I earned them, and how many I earned. Also, is there a way to add your own profile picture? I saw it only had one option, which was to connect to Facebook. And if there’s anything else I should know, please let me know…
Thx everyone!

You need 250 points to move up to the 2nd level. These suggestions will get there in 3-4 days maybe sooner. To move up and earn points answer lots of questions, the maximum you can do every day, that's 20 at your level, you get 2 points for each so 40 points per day, always trying for best answer they give you ten points. Before posting a question do a search , searches are free, asking a question costs you five points, be sure to return and pick best answer that way you get 3 points back. Be sure to vote for undecided questions, you get a point for each vote so up to 25 points each day.As you move up in levels you acquire more participation privileges.At level 2 You can answer more ask more, vote more and post hyperlinks, for subsequent levels do more of the same.

level 3: 1,000
level 4 2,500
level 5: 5,000
level 6: 10,000
level 7: 25,000

your profile picture.


Yahoo no longer provides avatars however you can create one from other free sites like the links below, there are many more on the internet.If you are on wireless you must wait until you are on a computer.

Choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar you had saved to your pc.
Create a personal avatar below or one of many other avatar sites, not a moving or large one, right click and save it to your computer pc.
Check the first one to make a cartoon of your own photo.
