gaining exposure within writingcom

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

Dear Writing Reader, One of the most popular questions from Authors on Writing.Com is: How do I gain exposure on Writing.Com? In this letter, I will provide numerous tips for increasing the amount of exposure you receive on Writing.Com. Tip #1: Utilize Our Newsletters! Every week Writing.Com sends out over 140,000 issues of its 13 various newsletters. Each week, Newsletter Editors ask for questions and feedback from their readers. Each week we see many of the newsletters “Ask & Answer” sections go blank! Get easy, quick exposure by emailing Writing.Com Newsletter Editors and asking them questions to be included in their next issue. Subscribe to newsletters that cover your favorite genres. Email the editors with questions pertaining to the genre, writing style or topic that Editor chose that week. In most cases, you will find your name, your question and a response in that Editor’s newsletter the following week. Readers of that newsletter will, more than likely, check out your portfolio! Tip #2: Review, Review, Review! Reading and rating are very important for writers, but when it comes to garnering eyeballs for your own work - nothing beats reviewing. When you review another author’s item, invite that Author to your own portfolio. Most of our Authors will be more than happy to check out your portfolio, since you were so kind to take a look first! Review, review and then review some more. Correspond with other Authors on the site and you’ll be surprised how many more views your items get! Tip #3: Plug Yourself In! There are many In & Outs and Message Forums that are geared toward giving Writing.Com Authors exposure. Most of these are run by Authors themselves and receive heavy traffic. Writing.Com itself provides one that is linked from the “Item Jumps” pulldown menu. Plug yourself without shame; utilize The Shameless “Plug” Page. Don’t be shy; start posting in message forums asking people to visit your portfolio. Tell readers a little about yourself, your portfolio and your writing style; you’re sure to gain new readers! Tip #4: Win Exposure With Contests! There are many contests run by Writing.Com members, as well! Participating in contests does not only give you the opportunity to win Gift Points, but also provides a free stage for you to flaunt your writing to others who are entering or judging that contest. Contests are easy to enter, give a wide variety of assignment and provide GREAT exposure whether you win or not! Participate in contests! To start, you will find some by visiting Writing Contests Writing.Com!. You can also visit the “Contest” sub-type link from within the Static Item listing page. Tip #5: Get BidClicking! Now take the Gift Points you just won in the contests and Sponsor your items with the Writing.Com BidClick System! My recommendation is to use the Genre and Item Type sponsorship opportunities. Extremely popular genres like Romance/Love, Action/Adventure, and Fantasy can be sponsored for under 25 Gift Points (or 1/4 of a penny)! Placing items within applicable genres will generate highly targeted readers who are more likely to read, rate AND review your item; and it costs FAR FEWER Gift Points than the main Sponsored Items column! If you want instant exposure to all of our visitors, you can bid a higher Gift Point price for the Sponsored Items listing. This listing is shown on the right-hand side of every page and is seen by every visitor to Writing.Com. We’ve seen items gain over 100 ratings in less than 24 hours when sponsored there! Sponsor items within the Genre or Item Type listing pages. For even more exposure, try out the Sponsored Items area. For even more information on this, read The Writing.Com BidClick System! I hope you found useful information within my letter; good luck and have fun! ~~ The StoryMaster (19) Did you find this article useful?

how to write an article for your niche product

Tuesday, April 27th, 2004

Congratulations!! You have found your niche product. That’s fantastic. The tricky bit is over and you’re nearly walking on the path to making some extra cash. This is always an exciting time just after you have discovered a hot niche market that has low competition and a starving crowd standing right in front. Exciting times ahead. So to get you on that path as soon as possible ill now quickly go through how to write a kick ass article and a profitable one too. Attention Grabbing Headlines. When someone searches for your article and see its listed the first thing they will see is the heading. For this reason headlines are VERY important. This will make or break your articles as far as getting views. Usually once you have submitted your articles headline you can’t change it, so you have to get it right the first time. Since the whole purpose of a headline is to attract attention, think of what grabbed yours in the past. The Article Body. The main reason for article marketing is to steer the reader through the article straight to the back link to your site or affiliate site. Your article must be entertaining enough to keep the reader reading or simply presell your product or service before getting to the back link. When trying to create interest there are no general rules but basically if you give them relevant information and keep them entertained they are probably going to read your article. Keywords. Use specific keywords or phrases that people use to search for anything online. Keyword density is the amount that a certain keyword is used per 100 words. Keywords are very important because they are still the main way that people search for anything online. Putting your articles within those relevant search words means they will be found by your target market audience. Don’t put too many keywords in otherwise it will look spammy to Google. Using your Recourse box. Since the whole idea of having your recourse box is getting people to click your back link it is a “call to action”. After the reader has been guided through the article and presold too much extent as possible regarding what you have to offer there should be a clear call to action in the recourse box. Example: “If you want to learn more pick up your FREE eBook here”, not “CLICK here for more information”- Boring Snoring! Use relevant information, keep the reader excited, find your keywords, get an eye grabbing headline and use your recourse box properly and just let the words flow. These are the main fundamentals to writing any niche product articles if you follow these everything will be cream cheese. I have had success in various avenues online. I now guide people to online riches and help them choose the most profitable options out there today. Qualify now for a FREE Money Making Shortcut! Quit Stalling Find a Market Niche Today!

means diamond rings the ultimate wedding ring for the modern man

Sunday, April 25th, 2004

Men’s diamond rings are becoming more and more popular with the modern man. As more men celebrate their marriage by the wearing of a wedding ring, men’s diamond rings are fast becoming the new men’s fashion. And there are different considerations for a man’s wedding jewelry than for a woman. The wearing of a wedding ring by a man is a reasonably new phenomenon. It is only really since the second world war that the wearing of a wedding ring by a man became common. However it is taking off now, as are diamond men’s rings . So for a woman the choice of wedding ring needs to accommodate the fact that it should not overpower her engagement ring. Whilst there are some magnificent diamond wedding rings for women, they should always be more understated. Small diamonds, and with more of the impact of the ring coming from the ring itself rather than the diamonds. And if she has a magnificent engagement ring then there is no need for anything but a simple understated band for a wedding ring. But a man needs to approach his wedding ring quite differently, hence the popularity of diamond mens rings. Mens diamond wedding rings are larger and more noticeable than womens rings. And as there is no engagement ring, the diamonds go on his wedding ring. This is the only ring on his hands, perhaps the only jewelry that he will ever wear. So it needs to tell the world exactly who he is. For this reason mens diamond rings often feature such modern ring materials as Titanium, Platinum, Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre. Two tone yellow gold and white gold also looks great. These rings are also much wider than you would expect for a woman’s wedding ring. This is to make sure that a mans wedding ring is in keeping with a mans (normally) wider hand, and also to allow room for the features of the ring and to add the diamonds. Mens diamond wedding rings are much more ornate than a womans wedding ring. But the most important part is still the diamond or diamonds. A mens diamond ring with one or more stunning diamonds cannot be matched for style. It says volumes about the man. It makes a clear unambiguous statement that says “I’m married, and I can afford a fantastic diamond ring like this”. Mens diamond rings are unequalled for style, class and flair. The modern married man should not be without one. Did you find this article useful?

how to pump out articles in less than 30 minutes

Saturday, April 24th, 2004

Now there are many benefits to producing your own articles for any body planning to do any kind of internet marketing out there. The pluses to having your own fresh articles on the internet far outweigh the amount of time it takes to get skilled at producing such articles for yourself. I mean you could spend money and buy your articles from websites such as associatedcontent.com and forums where freelancers advertise their articles writing services such as the warrior forum. The thing about this is that you pay about $3-5 per article when you could easily pump out good quality material, filled with your personality and your twist on things for FREE! Here are a few of the benefits to using articles to promote your websites or products: Having articles submitted to article directories creates a lot of quality backlinks to your website, causing your search engine PR to go higher. This could be done over and over again as there are many search engine submission websites ready to take your article as long as its original content. All the links are also going to come from popular websites that get a lot of traffic so your ranking will go even higher as you keep submitting more and more articles to many websites! Your articles will have a greater chance of being read if you submit to certain directories such as ezinearticles.com and amazines.com and you would be surprised how quickly your articles can show up among the top in google.com search results. Having a lot of keyword targeted articles out there all linking to your website or blog is one of the best free ways to boost traffic to your site. The articles also help to establish your expert status among surfers who will look to your content for advice and solution to their problems. That’s a very powerful way for establishing readership and gaining return visitors. Even the big websites that spend millions on advertising also spend money hiring writers that produce articles and little information products that keep people interested. No on to how to get these things out with lightning speed! The first thing to understand is that you cant force your brain to perform in ways its not designed to. I mean you have to actually know something about what you’re writing about. Not much, but just a little bit. You have to commit to doing research on any topic you’re interested in so you actually have something to say. I had that problem before when I tried to write articles about things that bored me to death. Kind of slowed me down along my internet marketing career because I then disliked the task of writing for a while simply because I picked the wrong things to write about, nor did any research to gain at least an opinion about it. Do your homework! Article writing is mainly about your keywords and title. The body needs to be created around the title of your article, which is the most important thing to think about if you’re an internet marketer. The title has to make people want to read your article, while being focused enough to make it easier for you to stay on topic while writing. The title has to also attempt to solve a problem or fulfill a need people have. The best thing I can say for now about pumping out articles with quickness is to write as if you were talking. It’s not an essay or a research paper, just an organized string of your opinions and what you know about a specific topic. Keep it fun and interesting, and write what you would have wanted to read when you were doing research. Keep Reading on my blog and also learn how you could be spitting them out as fast as every 15minutes, the lazy way! why-not-make-money.blogspot.com/2008/06/create-articles-fast.html

want to start a freelance writing career in 2010 how to advice from an experienced freelancer

Thursday, April 22nd, 2004

Freelance writers can travel when they want as much as they want; they can work from anywhere as long as there’s an internet connection; they can work in their pyjamas; they can pick their kids up from the bus stop; they can shop during the middle of the day when stores aren’t crowded; they can charge what they want… and they can live life on their own terms. These are just some of the benefits of being a freelance writer. Who wouldn’t want this life? Starting a freelance writing career is easy. No, achieving success as a freelance writer is not easy - but it’s dang easy to start, which is where most falter. Following are four things to do if you are serious about starting a freelance writing career in 2010. 1. Decision Time: Decide if you want to do it part time or full time. If you have money in the bank and can float yourself for a couple of months, you can start full-time, if you put in the (marketing) work. 2. Time Block: If you’re serious about finding success as a freelance writer, you’re going to have to be a master time manager. How much time each day do you plan to devote to your dream? And, an hour ain’t gonna cut it — sorry. You need at least 2; 4 would be better - if you’re starting part time. If you’re starting full time, go all out and put in a solid 8, 9 or 10 hours. 3. Formulate an “Action” Plan: As in, formulate an action plan. Many would call this a “business” plan. I hate that phrase because it’s a lot of work for a business that most never even get around to starting. That’s why I like the phrase “action plan.” This means it’s something you’re going to put together and follow through on. Included in this will be things like which niche you want to specialize in, how you’re going to market, budgeting for getting your website done, getting on a timeline to get your writing samples in order, coming up with a pricing chart, deciding which services you’re going to offer, etc. 4. Implement Your Action Plan: This is where many fall down. Well really, from the emails I’ve gotten over the years, it’s the previous step that many never complete. They get to sidetracked trying to make everything perfect before they start. This is procrastination at its worst. And it can halt your success as a freelance writer. Other freelance writing dream killers are: Freelance Writing Dream Killers: Things That Masquerade as Progress, But Really Aren’t “Research”: This is in quotation marks because plenty of wannabe freelance writers spend so much time fooling themselves that they’re making progress when what they’re really doing is stalling. You may: “Research” other freelance writers’ websites to get ideas on what you want yours to look like; “Research” other freelance writers’ writing samples to see how to write yours; “Research” the type of equipment you’re going to need for your “eventual” freelance writing business; “Research” (read) articles on how others have gone about making their freelance writing dreams a reality; “Research”; “research”; “research”; “research”…. until you have information overload and haven’t accomplished crap! Don’t let it happen to you. If you do the four things outlined above - and avoid the freelance writing dream killers, before you know it, you will be making a living as a freelance writer. It’s not hard, but it does take consistent effort. About the Author: Yuwanda Black has been a freelance writer since 1993. She has published 16 ebooks and is the voice behind InkwellEditorial.com, the authority website on how to start a successful freelance writing career. On the site, you’ll also find instructional ebooks on how to become a freelance writer, freelance writing ecourses, first-hand advice on how to land writing jobs — and a lot more.

freelance writing jobs helpful tips to become a successful freelance writer

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

When the Internet was first introduced, its use was commonly focused on spreading information to the rest of the world. But now, the Internet is capable of providing a steady income at the convenience of your own home. It was then that the concept of freelance writing jobs was born. Considering the number of writers on the Web practicing their trade, not all of them can brag of success and profit. In fact, many of these individuals fail to understand the factors involved in freelance writing jobs; thus, they only get mediocre success that is not enough to achieve the goal of making a sizeable income. Computer Savvy The first factor that affects freelance writing jobs is how literate you are when it comes to computers. You need to be familiar with the tools of the trade and how it can affect the success of your venture. For starters, freelance writing jobs require familiarization with word processing software available today. Word processing can be easily described as an electronic pen and paper that allows you to write content easily and then edit to clean it up without spending much time and effort. Another way is to look for the information you need on the World Wide Web. If you are not familiar with the topic assigned to you, then you need to look for one on the Internet that will help you create quality content that will please your client. For starters, you might want to make use of Internet-based tools, such as search engines, plagiarism checking tools, and so on. Quality Content It is very important that you always turn up quality work if you want to stay longer in this type of business. In truth, freelance writing jobs are ideal for writers that can provide quality and informative content consistently. If you are still quite new in the writing business, then you might find it difficult to come up with quality content that your client might like. If such is the case; it is advisable to scour the Internet for other works with similar topics. Never plagiarize. Don’t copy them word for word; but instead, read through their content and understand how they are constructed so you can have ideas on how to come up with your own. Deadline Aside from quality work, freelance writing jobs require prompt submission. Avoid angering your bosses by submitting quality articles way past the designated date, or time, of submission. If you miss a deadline, then it is a sign of sloppy, unprofessional work ethic — and that would reflect badly on your reputation. Freelance writing jobs could be a reliable source of income if you’re doing the proper steps. Good luck in your writing endeavors!

The best way for a new Internet marketer to begin his career in internet marketing is to start by writing articles. Article writing is one form of “bum marketing”. You can write an article and make money in article marketing without spending money for advertising. It is not a fast money making method, but it is long lasting. As long as there is an Internet, your article will still be somewhere in that cyberspace. Here are five ways to translate your thoughts and feelings into words that sell. 1. Write from your own knowledge base. This is the easiest and best way to start. Your reader will sense your confidence. He will be more likely to read through to your link and click on it. 2. If you want to sell a product in an unfamiliar niche, do research. There are journals, books, magazines, and then there is the Internet. You can find an unlimited amount of information on any subject from anywhere in the world. The Internet knows no boundaries. Do not copy the information, but rather gather facts that you then put into your own words. 3. Read what other authors write about your topic. You can learn what to do and what not to do. The easiest way to learn from this technique is to ask yourself if you would want to sign your name to that article. If the answer is yes, then study that article for content, word usage, grammar, and title. Chances are others will want to read that article too. If the answer is no, ask yourself why you would not sign your name to it and note those reasons. You can avoid making the same mistakes. 4. Read your article aloud. How does it sound? This can help identify weakness in the flow of the content. It will also show you where you may have left out a word. When you read it silently, the eye often sees what is not there. Words like “the”, “and”, “a”, and “an” are skipped over and sometimes left out of your written text. 5. Remember to look for these misspellings: “your and you’re”; “there and their”; and “its and it’s”. There are many more hints and tips that can help writers improve writing skills and earn more money. This short article touches only the surface of the art and craft of article writing in internet marketing. Besides learning the art of writing, you must learn how to market your product with your words and you must learn how to market your own article. Do you want to learn more about article writing?
