Yes. Ask questions. Asking questions gets you rep (and quite quickly too, if your questions are voted up).

- lyudmil 16y agoValid, but asking questions is hard to do consistently. I've only ever asked questions if I've been unable to deal with a problem. Answering questions is something I can do on my own time because it's fun. Answering questions is what draws me to the Stack Overflow community. The way I view it it's just a particularity of the way Stack Overflow has been set up. I think cletus is correct - rep cannot be your goal or you're bound to get frustrated as the OP found out.
- BrianLy 16y agoWhy not ask questions that you've solved yourself with much effort and googling? That would mean that that knowledge is captured on SO for easier access by others.
