<p>🌹Start Small, Build Often</p><p>Don’t just read or watch tutorials, make things. Build tiny projects (a calculator, a to-do app, a landing page). Every project teaches you more than 10 hours of theory.
</p><p>🌹Learn to Google Like a Pro
</p><p>Most of coding is problem-solving. Get comfortable searching for errors, reading documentation, and using Stack Overflow.
</p><p>🌹Write Clean, Readable Code
</p><p>Comment your code, use clear variable names, and structure it neatly. Future-you (and teammates) will thank you.
</p><p>🌹Understand the “Why” Behind Code
</p><p>Don’t just copy-paste code from tutorials. Ask yourself, why does this work? That’s how you level up.
</p><p>🌹Version Control is Your Friend
</p><p>Learn Git and GitHub early. It’ll save you from losing your work and make collaboration easy.
</p><p>🌹Join a community
</p><p>Engage with other devs on LinkedIn, Twitter (X), Discord, or local meetups. You’ll learn faster and stay motivated.
</p><p>🌹Don’t Fear Debugging
</p><p>Bugs are normal. Treat them like clues. Every bug you fix makes you a better developer.
</p><p> 🌹Be Consistent, Not Perfect
</p><p>Code a little every day. Even 30 minutes of daily practice beats a once-a-month coding marathon.</p><p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
