Hey everyone, I'm really new to all of this and I want to start earning brickpoints but I can't find any place that tells me how many I have already.  Do I start earning them the moment I opened an account?  Or is it something that I have to sign up for?  I'm confused and just need some advise!  Thanks!!!

You are already earning BrickPoints as soon as you sign up to Brickpicker. You can see your current total under your avatar when you post or in your personal profile page: http://community.brickpicker.com/user/7214-balmer1995/ (You can access this on the upper right corner of the page) There is a tab for Brickpoints.

 

There are multiple ways to earn BPs. Some of them include posting, submitting articles, reviews, blogs and some others.

 

Welcome to the site!

I believe it goes like this:

 

post: 1 bp

start a topic: 2 bp

get a like: 2 bp

comment on blogs, pictures, etc.: 1 bp

Update something on a product b=page (there is a link in the middle to add things like weight) : 5 bp unless set is before 2001 - then 10bp

Write an article: up to 500 BP

Write a review for a set: up to 250 bp

 

I think those values are right but they could vary.

 

Time to time Ed and Jeff also give you extra ways to earn bp as well.

I thought if you start a topic its 5.

You can refer to Ed's Blog Post

you can also get Brickpoints by adding information to the database:
