@fdrcamb519 Earning community rewards is based on your participation on the community. Loosely it would be based on posts, bravos and solutions but its your overall participation and contributions that are taken into consideration.
When you first start out here its very difficult for you to help others you're new! So it starts with you reading the different help articles, the posts and threads that other members start and/or reply to and as you explore the community you begin to ask questions about how certain things work (like this question you've asked), your self serve account, renewals, promotions, a phone issue or different ways you can pay for your plan. As you learn you'll switch from asking the questions to help answer them. Even if you don't know the answer....type it in the search bar and press go....a slew of posts with solutions will pop up and you'll find out the answer for the next time someone asks the question.
All of this kind of participation goes into the calculation of the secret formula of the community rewards. If you spend an hour a day on a regular basis you have a good chance of making it into the top 50% or top 25% and recieve $1 or $2 in rewards. If you enjoy helping people out and you want to put in a lot more time and effort you could achieve the top 10% or possibly higher. If you're off work due to COVID-19 then you have some time to see what it takes.
It's nice to save a buck or two off your bill but working one hour at minimum wage will earn you what a top 1% badge earner spends a minimum 100 hours a month on here helping out.
