If you look at your profile, the number right next to your name in your profile. The reputation score is how people get to know where you are in regards to how trustworthy you are. High reputation scores are perceived to have quality content and that's because they have been upvoted a lot. To raise your score, you have to get more upvoted on both your posts and your comments.

#2 Getting more upvotes is also another easiest way to raise your reputation score.

Remember to add good quality comments that are going to add value to that post, that way you'll get increasingly more upvotes and you'll make more as well. This is one of those pieces to the puzzle of Steemit that you need to know before you make your first post.

Get to know other people and comment on their blogs. Reply to their comments and you're going to start building that relationship but also this is going to help build your reputation score. The more votes you get the higher your reputation score goes. Everybody when they first join Steemit starts out with a reputation score of 25. As you go out and your comment and reply to people's post and get familiar with Steemit. Your reputation score is going to rise as you get more upvotes. This way when you do make your first post, your reputation score is going to be higher than somebody brand new, just joining in and going in to make their first post. The reputation score translates into people looking at you. Your first post and you have a higher reputation than somebody brand new. They can see now that you've spent some time and thats more than likely the content that you're producing is quality content.

You can actually get a negative reputation score. I've seen a negative 10 before. The reason is you put out junk content. Your content gets flagged, meaning downvoted so you're not only making less but your reputation score goes down as well. If you see someone with a reputation score with a negative sign beside it or that they have a reputation score below 25, you know that they're been flagged and downvoted for what they've posted, what they've commented or what they replied. That's the importance of the reputation score. You can see by their score what kind of content that they've been producing.
