The primary source of experience is destroying, banishing, thwarting, befriending, or otherwise "beating" monsters for 100XP per HD.
Finding money or treasure gives no XP award. However, if treasure is spent on Mythos-related extravagances, 1XP is earned per 1GP 1sp spent. Examples include hiring a seer, purchasing rare incense for a non-Sorcerous ritual, or constructing a temple to Cthulhu.
The DM may award XP bonuses for clever problem-solving, good roleplay, or in some cases, merely surviving an encounter with a powerful supernatural being.

I think it's just a full night's rest at home.
Grats! Though... the extra level hasn't seemed to do much for Shade's HP rolls. Just bad luck, I guess.

Oh, bother. What's the leveling matrix for sorcs again? I couldn't find it on any thread, except where it says sorcs need 3K to get to second level.
(And why on earth didn't I just go as a straight fighter?? I'd be 3rd level by now!)

The party defeated 90 deep one slavers, 1 alpha deep one, 1 deep one bosun, and 1 giant sea slug in a ferocious battle at sea!
Your new XP totals are:
Breath 7297 6897 [4 henchmen to 1st level]
Fated 6951
Minion 6527 6127 [bumped 4 henchmen to 1st level]
Shade 7375 7275 [deep one to 1st level]
Gunnery 3855
This gives everyone enough XP for 3rd level with the exception of Gunnery at 2nd level just shy of 4,000. Fighting-men need 8,000xp to reach 4th level and sorcerers need 12,000.
Remember that you may sacrifice XP to level up your henchmen. Every 100xp spent will bump one of your henchmen from 0 lvl to 1st lvl. Please indicate if you are doing so, and I will make the adjustment to your XP total.

Just a buck fitty away from level 3, even, WotE! You'll pass up Shade, Breath, and Minion in levels in short order, too... |

For their active participation in slaying 2 titanocobras, 800xp each to Breath, Fated, and Shade.
New totals:
Breath 7777
Fated 7791
Minion 6127
Shade 8155
Gunnery 3855
You may allocate some of these XP to your henchmen, if you choose (or keep them all for yourself).
A reminder that Fated needs 8,000xp to become a Hero, and the sorcerers need 12,000 for the rank of Banisher.

Just enough for everyone to level up... welcome to Heroic-tier Chainmail Carcosa!

Shade wants that level, so he'll only give 400 XP to his deep one minion.

So noted! The henchmen appreciate receiving even a small share of the XP, it improves their loyalty.

Massive XP Update
For defeating L'juy the Giant Zombie Botfly the active participants earn 600xp.
190 zombies at 50xp each equals a whopping 9,500xp!
Split between Apothecaria & company, Breath's henchwomen, Fated's henchmen, Shade's Deep One that comes to 2,525xp each.
Grand Yet Mystifying aka Reggie 0xp
For destroying 1 zombie earns 50xp + 10% prime requisite = 55 unallocated xp!
5 yellow men 0xp each
Apothecaria 0 xp (needs 1,500 for 2nd level and 3,000 for 3rd)
earns 2,525xp for her part in the battle to distribute as she wishes
5 henchmen, 0xp each
Breath of New Moon 12,037xp
plus 2,525 unallocated xp for her henchwomen only
Devil Maw: Fighter1; 180xp
Blasphemous Blade: Fighter1; 180xp
Serpent's Scion: Specialist1 180xp
Dream Stalker: Specialist1 180xp
Fated to Die: 11,781 xp
plus 2,525 unallocated xp, henchmen only
5 ulfire men, 0xp each
Shade of Evermore: 12,035 xp
plus 2,525 unallocated xp, henchmen only
Deep One: Fighter1, 500xp
House Rules on Henchmen XP
100xp bumps a henchman to 1st level in any class. Beyond 1st they advance on the same XP chart as PCs (xp needed for 2nd level: fighter 2,000, sorcerer 3,000, specialist 1,500). Henchmen must be of lesser level than your PC (a 1st level PC can only have 0 level henchmen). Henchmen XP do not need to be allocated immediately; they can be kept in a "pool" for future distribution (for example to "buy" a high-level henchman at some future date, or to get your next PC started when your current PC kicks the bucket). A henchman can be immediately promoted to PC (and claim any unallocated xp from the pool) if your main character dies (or you may choose to roll a brand new PC inheriting the pool). Having leveled-up henchmen, or unallocated XP in your pool, provides an insurance policy that in case your PC dies, your next PC is not starting from 0xp.

Reminder of a house rule: You can earn 1xp per 1sp "wasted" (up to the amount required to gain 1 level) on Mythos-related donations/extravagances such as constructing a temple to your favorite deity, commissioning a blasphemous work of art, or secretly aiding the Nyarlathotep Society.

Deep will reach 2nd level after his next rest cycle (and be grateful to his Master for the opportunity to better serve him).
Shade acquires [brown]Sgt. Cannibal[/brown] as a loyal henchman. 500xp is good for 1st level (and then some) in any class; do you choose Fighter I presume? The [brown]Fine Brown Cannibals[/brown] (currently a little the worse for wear) do not count as Shade's henchmen but will be more or less loyal to their Sgt. so long as they are well treated and fed (in other words they are Mercenaries).
