How i get Promoted to be MVP member

Hussein Salman

I need to know how can i get the promotion to be a MVP member for Microsoft.

Is this related to Number of points earned? Suppose i started this year, how many points should i earn?

Is it related with the articles quality, no of views, or just posting an article that illustrate specific topic would be counted.

Thanks,

Hussein Salman

Support your peers.Provide accurate, useful support in whatever format fits you best. You'll find most of the MVP's that show up here are authors, presenters at conferences, lead user groups and many run their own dedictaed support sites or blog.Bottom line is be active in the community. There's no magic number or something you can do to be awarded an MVP status.
In essence, if you're working to be an MVP you probably won't ever get there. If you're doing the things characteristic of being an MVP, you probably aren't concerned about being awarded. If the award changes your life in any way, you probably didn't deserve it to begin with.

Well. First of all, Microsoft MVP is not a "Promotion", it is a "Recognition" for your technical excellence and sharing your expertise with your technical community.

You should CONTRIBUTE! No Shortcut! Also there is no measurement. In my experience, Don't expect the MVP award. Just do your community contribution "consistently". Contribution included become a member of a forum, blog about that particular technology etc., If you contribute well your work is recognized by the MVP award.

For MVP award, you can nominate yourself or you can nominated by others. The below URL gives a nice explanation.

Hi,

While there is no benchmark for becoming an MVP, in part because it varies by technology and its life-cycle, some of the criteria we evaluate include the impact of a nominee’s contributions to online forums such as Microsoft Answers, TechNet and MSDN; wikis and online content; conferences and user groups; podcasts, Web sites, blogs and social media; and articles and books. Each nominee's contributions are compared to those of other candidates, and active MVPs receive the same level of analysis as new candidates each year.
