Tips and Tricks:

- Use a tool like Shutter to annotate your screenshots and show the answer in steps.
- Cross link and refer official Ubuntu documentation and resources. The best answers have many references.
- Use the social media buttons to get your question out to the wider community.
- Continuously update your answer to improve its quality so your answer receives more visibility on the site.
- Don't just answer the question. Go above in beyond by explaining how you solved the problem, and take this opportunity to teach a user how to find this kind of information.
Pitfalls To Avoid:
- Many questions are low quality. A great answer needs a great question, so concentrate on finding a highly voted unanswered question to answer.
- Many poor questions are just duplicates of other more established questions. Double check with a search before you invest time in a great answer; it can be frustrating to waste time writing a great answer to a question that will be closed or removed as a duplicate.
- Don't link to random blogs or websites. Those resources are typically unable to be reviewed and updated by the community and often have out of date information.
