Hi @Netizenbd for me the secret has been making edits. Those are also 5 points each, e.g. correcting business names, choosing better categories or removing closed shops.

You might also want to check out some podcast episodes (link in my signature), such as ‘Level 5 in a day’ or ‘Level 10 in a month’. Those have loads of tips.

Just post a photo or vidio its makes you earn many of point

Hi @Netizenbd Hello and welcome to our community! First of all, you can earn different points from various activities, such as adding photos, commenting, and editing. However, my advice is to focus on how you can create higher-quality content rather than rushing to earn points and level up quickly. Good luck!

Hello @Netizenbd, why do you want to reach Level 9 quickly, and how quickly do you wish it to be? I took 9 years, and for part of that time I wasn’t even trying. Apart from the useful response by @JanVanHaver, and the caution by @Gezendunyali, here’s a brief comparison between your profile and mine:

  • Although you have more Reviews than I do, you have too many Ratings for unreviewed places.
  • You have 4 times as many Photos as I do, but less Videos.
  • There’s opportunity to use more Captions with your Photos.
  • I have 3 times more Answers than you do. You can increase this by interacting with more places. Perhaps your numerous photos came from a relatively small number of places.
  • You only have a tiny number of Edits, so you can use that type of contribution to earn more.
  • Adding Roads is an opportunity, as you get 15 points per approved road as compared to 5 points per photo. Unfortunately, the approval rate has been slow in the last few weeks, so it takes some patience.

Not only that, @tony_b and @Netizenbd. What immediately caught my eye are many duplicates:


While you can quickly earn more points, you can easily quickly get banned too, since this is against the rules. So, it is better to visit more places and make sure not to post duplicate or redundant photos.

I just found out, I have ~10% more answers than Tony. Perhaps not only because I visited more places than Tony, but I don’t wait to get pushed for answering questions. Instead I watch daily the Contribute panel and click on Help other by responding … and also More ways to contribute ….

Hi @Netizenbd
I have 1.5 million points, but leveling up was something that never came to my mind.
I simply contributed, in the ways that I like more. Once I had 600 road approved in one day (9000 points) but sometimes I just add a photo in a week.
Honestly, IMHO, before to think about how to level up you should consider to level down a bit, by removing the thousands of duplicate photos you added (the ones mentioned by @WilfriedB are just a small example) and to start to think as a real Local Guide.
As many said, there are a lot of ways to contribute and to get points, but the question is: how do you like to contribute? Follow that way, and do it in the best way, as a real Local Guide.
In this way for sure you will level up, while following the actual path your best option is just to become quickly a “former” Local Guide

I just want to tag you to answer this question, @JanVanHaver, but you’ve already answered it! :laughing:

Editing information would be useful. You can try it from your neighborhood and hometown. You can find plenty of places within a specific category right in your own town. In my case, Indonesia has a vast number of mosques and musallas, even in rural areas. I decided to edit the information for many of them because they serve as vital local points of interest, especially for navigation.
