Building your reputation
There are 2 ways to build your reputation.
1. Tell a great story
I know that's simple, but its true. Each pod has a rating option as well as comments. You can't rate your own work - well, not without cheating and rating yourself anonymously but... well... You wouldn't be so shallow as to do that, right?
Write great content and, if the community likes it, you'll get great ratings. Write content people want to talk about and you'll get comments. Simple as that.
2. Help others get better
The second way to build your reputation is to build others' capability. Rate their work, comment on their writing, drop by their page and give them some feedback - build a reputation of building others. We are all helping each other to tell the story!
Where does my reputation show up?
There are a number of places your reputation will show up:
- On your profile page (where it will also show the number of pods you have writers)
- On the writer listing page (which is alphabetical)
- On the top 10 writers page (if you've earned that!)
- At the foot of any pod you've written (which you can always access via the 'My pods' link)
Can I quickly check my reviews?
Yes, you can read the reviews people have given you and those you've given to others at the 'My Reviews' link in the User Area.
