What are all the ways to increase readiness?

Question

What are all the ways to increase the readiness factor for the war with the Reapers?

Answer

Readiness is managed via the Galaxy at War system and I'll go into the specific ways to earn readiness below:

Single Player

War Assets are the part of Galaxy at War you colelct in Single Player. Simply purchase War Assets with in game money to earn varying amounts of readiness, rated by Military Strength. The wiki pages list the Military Strength of the various war assets. Some assets require certain conditions to be earned.

War Assets are not Readiness, but instead their effect (Military Strength) is multiplied by Readiness.

Multiplayer

Playing Multiplayer earns you various rewards that increase Galactic Readiness, such as Promoting a character to level 20 or simply completing missions. Apparently, even failing a multiplayer mission increases your readiness 2-3%.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator

This iOS game will help you increase Galactic Readiness if you link the games. From EA's press release, via Cult of Mac:

Inspired by the deep and immersive Mass Effect 3 universe, in Infiltrator players will help to free prisoners from a hostile Cerberus base and will receive rewards for collecting evidence of Cerberus’ crimes along the way. Every completed rescue and intelligence discovery in Infiltrator will increase a player’s Galactic Readiness rating directly through the Galaxy at War system in Mass Effect 3.

Mass Effect Datapad

Datapad is a free iOS app that will allow you to monitor your Galactic Readiness and will involve minigames which may increase readiness. I don't have the app or much info about it yet.
