The best way I know how to raise your reputation is to have good interactions with other Steemians and get upvotes - and it's best by commenting on other people's posts, in an intelligent way. Not just saying, "Hey, man! Nice Post!" There's plenty of stuff on here, so just stick to commenting on topics you like - what you do & what you know about. It takes time. Always make an attempt to credit other people for anything that you copy/paste. The best content is original content that you come up with on your own.
