On Writing: Promoting Your Work in 2009
More promotion ideas and suggestions, more ways to showcase your work.
Are you a serious writer or poet who is publishing on the internet with Triond, Bukisa, eHow, Helium, AC, or elsewhere?
Are you finding yourself with less time to write as you are putting it all into promoting your articles or blog? Perhaps I can help.
Opportunity
Recently, myself, Lauren Axelrod, RJ Evans and other writers from various sites began building a network of blogs with the addition of guest articles. The way it works is the blog owner publishes an excerpt or your full article(with your links and byline) on their blog and then promotes it along with their own work. I know this is an age-old practice but it creates a “social networking” community where people of like interests are more likely to read and promote each others’ work.
This also creates an opportunity to build your readership, the readership of your sites and those of like-minded writers and provides us a chance to revive some of those articles that didn’t receive much exposure when first published.
Niche Marketing
In my article “Plagiarism and Promotion: Ideas and Suggestions“, I talk about the web of plagiarism that has been sweeping several writing sites and how I have become a victim of this myself. I also discuss different ideas on promoting your work, one of these being to join a community of writers and post on niche sites.
Why So Many Topics?
My blog has a wide spectrum of topics because I have a wide variety of interests and cannot pin myself down to one topic. In simple terms, I would much rather have two blogs and many sites that I write for, than 12 interconnected blogs that I cannot keep up with. Therefore I have created many topics on one blog and offer guest articles from other writers as well. There is more information on submitting your articles located on my blog and other links in my profile.
Here’s wishing you all the best and happiest 2009!

You’ve been busy, Michele! What a great idea to network!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:08 am
Sounds great Michele! I thing you’ve got a tiger by the tail.
December 31st, 2008 at 8:55 am
Hi Michele, this is a great bit of advice, I just don’t have the knowhow on doing blogs. I have a website in the works, but not much of a following yet as I’m still trying to finish my project first. Thanks for sharing this though.

Like Adam, I don’t have the know how for blogging but wish I did as this sounds like a splendid idea.

Your post is a great one. Even though it is not a new concept, I think you have a wonderful plan to implement writing and your other talents through it’s birth. You have such strength so will do well. I will be looking at your blog with interest. Happy New year!

It sounds great, I am considering joining.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Thanks for the props Michelle. I am trying to add as many writers as I can to my blog as well as links to the triond main site and other pages to encourage people to check out sites that may have never heard of like notecook, socyberty, etc.
It has been a true joy being your friend. I think you are one of the most supportive and positively gifted writers I have met. I look forward to a happy friendship.

Thank you for sharing this article. I feel blessed to be your friend. I mentioned to Lauren how unselfish and supportive you have been in helping me and she said “that is how she is, a wonderful, caring and supportive friend”.
Bless you and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Thanks everyone! Adam and Christine, the beauty of this is you don’t have to know anything about blogging, you just provide the link to your article and to your profile choice to the blog owner and they can do it for you.
Francois, Deb and Abdul, I would be happy to post your work. You are all wonderful writers in areas where I lack the motivation to do the research.
Lauren and Chris, I think that you are both wonderful friends and I am happy to help in any way that I can. I don’t know if I am completely unselfish, because I do want to showcase my work as well and gain more exposure. I just think it would help if we all band together and promote as a network as well as individually.
I would be happy to post work for any and all of you and many others on triond. You are all talented writers and great friends.
Once again, Happy New Year!
