February 26th 2007 16:13
I have tried to stay up to date and involved with the recent web marketing crazes and new media ventures that have made some serious headway.
What am I talking About?

Link Exchanging
Social Networking
Working From Home Opps
etc, etc.
I've come to some serious thoughts and insight into how to market yourself, your company or your writing through use of snowballing your web identity. By snowballing I mean getting your name out, through use of multiple web venues and building a snowball of exposure through cross linking, useful information, networking sites and free portfolio sites.

I always bookmark my articles/websites/blogs, but I also bookmark other things I think people would find interesting and I try to think about the type of site it is. Like digg.com, they really like controversial, techie, stuff. Technorati likes blogging news and podcasting. Stuff like that. Plus it helps if you "digg" or vote for other people's links too....
Thank you for the comment! I'll try and post some more ways to market as a writer
