BallHype Blog

Someone asked us last night what the proper etiquette was for hyping up your own posts on Ballhype. He writes great stuff, but hasn’t been submitting his stories regularly to the site. As the HR department at my previous company told employees at review time, You Own Your Own Development. As in, don’t expect us to promote you without you working your tail off and telling us why we should care.

At Ballhype, we make self-promotion a lot easier with various blogger tools. We encourage you to go ahead and submit your content, keeping a couple of principles in mind:

• Submit your best stories. Stuff that you’d want to read if someone else had written it. Because let’s face it, we all have off days.
• Hype up other people’s work. Either vote for them if they’ve already been submitted, or if you’re the first to come across a great story, hype it up! Surfacing quality content for the community is what will attract new readers to the site and your own future posts. Besides, helping other bloggers out is the nice thing to do, and people notice.
