To reach level 2 you must have 250 total points. If you drop below that you will again be on level one. You may answer and vote on 20 questions a day giving you 2 points and 1 point respectively. Once you reach level 2 you will be able to rate others with a thumbs up or down but you will receive no points for that. You will get nothing but your own satisfaction for reaching the next level and helping others in the process.\n\nThe link will explain the point system to you.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_sy...\n\nThe way I figure it, if you answer and vote on the Max number of questions you can it will take...\n\n2 days to get to level 2\n8 days to get to level 3\n8 days to get to level 4\n3 weeks to get to level 5\n40 days to get to level 6 if you only answer and vote on 50 questions (remember that's 2 points and 1 point respectively, so mix it up however you want)\n4 months to get to level 7 (if you follow the above 50 question rule)\n\nThen of course you need to eliminate the top leaders if they keep going like they are. (20,000 points per week, sheesh)\n\nGood Luck!

Depends how fast really, really fast is, because if you want it like NOW!, then you need to find a scratch ticket, but that relies on odds, but if you want money in like a month, EARN IT LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOBS.

You get 100 points when you first start.  Each time you ask a question, you lose 5 points.  Thus, when you asked your "first real question," you actually lost 5 points, and your total amount of points was 95.  It may have seemed as if you had gained 95 points from the question, but you actually lost 5 points from your total of 100, and you will lose 5 points for each question you ask.\n\nTo gain points, you have to answer questions.  Each question you answer gets you 2 points, and each "Best Answer" (chosen by the asker) that you get is worth 10 points.  If you pick a "Best Answer" for one of your questions, you gain 3 points.  You can pick a "Best Answer" after the question has been posted for 24 hours.  Thus, the way to maximize points is to answer questions and get "Best Answers."

Points are the incentive for people to answer questions, rate and vote, basically to participate. You can see the points you have on the top (where it says "Hello ---- | Points: ---"\n\nAfter you reach certain numbers of points, the amount of stuff you can do on the site increases (you can ask more, answer more, vote more, rate more)

Well I suppose you could but what is the point ( no pun intended) in just gaining points. I have a very low opinion of those who do anything to gain points. Two points please

The points are a form of reward for participation. As you gain points, you advance in levels. At higher levels, you gain the ability to participate more (ask, answer, and rate more questions, etc.). At really high levels, you can get featured in a section of Yahoo Answers or even on the main page. In the Taiwan version of Answers, this has included pictures and a mini-interview. So if you get enough points, you can become famous, kind of like a rock star of knowledge!

Here's a breakdown of the scoring system: http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=ApsI0C6bJpcrAdnhIvylGJAezKIX\n\nPoints don't really mean a whole lot except to tell you who uses this service the most. For me, it's a challenge. Can I answer enough questions to get to the next level? You lose 2 points when you ask a question, but if you pick a best answer, you get them back.

Earning points occurs naturally while we're trying to answer questions and help other people. However, at times points seem more appealing that that. They call out to people's competitive spirit and encourage them to stay up all night on Yahoo! Answers.\n\nOf course, when you're getting started, points serve as a basis for determining what your daily limits will be for answering questions and otherwise participating on the site, so it's good to get up a few levels so you won't end up hitting your limit just when there was one question you really wanted to answer.

Remember this. Merely answering 350 questions might fetch you those 700 points. But then you cannot answer more than 20-30 per day. So how to make it to Level 3?\n\nWell, if you choose your questions properly and answer it with utmost sincerity you will get 10 points for each. I got 100 points from this over this weekend. Now I have only 300+ points to score to reach Level 3.\n\nIts not just abt answering, its about answering well!!...
