Promotion Is Free - New Series

Posted on 03 June 2008 by Sharon

Self promotion doesn\'t have to break the bank.I often get questions from new writers about how to get the word out that they are there and available for writing work. This topic has been coming up a lot recently, so even though it’s been covered before, I thought it was time to revisit it.

From my experience, when you’re starting out as a freelance writer, you don’t have a big budget to take out full page ads to proclaim your arrival. That’s why I’ll be concentrating on the free promotional methods that worked for me when I started freelancing. I won’t stop there, though, because there are a few new outlets that I think any writer starting today would do well to consider.

I’m going to keep these posts short, concentrating on saying what the promotion method is, how to do it successfully and any pros and cons. By the end of the series I hope you will have a few methods that will help you to make the next leap in your freelance writing career. If there’s anything you particularly want me to cover, feel free to let me know in the comments. And for those of you who already know all this, feel free to chip in with your stories on which methods have worked for you. Look out for the first post tomorrow.

    I’ll be following this series with interest, Sharon.

    Will you be also considering the time each process takes? Beginning freelancers are usually horribly short on time, and it’s their major ROI factor — it is for me, too.

    Cheers,

    Tracy

    That’s a good suggestion, Tracy, which I’ll attempt to incorporate.
