Freelance Writers--Ways to Market Yourself

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?
I'm talking about:
Social Bookmarking
Free Blogging Sites
Paid to Write Opportunities
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.


Social bookmarking is also one of the most incredible ways to gain exposure and more page views, it's snowball marketing at it's best because the more people who agree with your bookmarks, the more your page views will grow exponentially.

Here's a recent article with all the important social bookmarking sites on it:

Social Bookmarking Your Freelance Work


While marketing yourself and building your exposure, keep in mind that it may tak e a while to start seeing the fruits of your labor. This is another reason why I call it snowball marketing, because once it starts to get some speed and bulk it grows faster and faster...

Social bookmarking is kind of one of those things that you have to build up a reputation for bookmarking really helpful sites. Especially now with the competition.

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

I've been using Associated Content to gain exposure for my stuff - writings, mostly. But i've also put up some pics using their slideshow feature and it's great. I've been contacted by several people about gigs and I am starting to feel the impact of using Associated Content.
Check it out. www.associatedcontent.com
You can submit content in any format - pics, vids, writings
