Promoting your work matters

While it is fun to think that you are going to write the next great novel, most freelance writers are going to spend hours a day working on their online content on paid to write sites, paid to view sites or their own blogs. However much you enjoy writing, chances are that you are going to grow discouraged if you do not see results from your writing. Not all writing sites pay up front payments, instead they depend on page views to generate income for their writers. This is not all bad, but this is where promotion comes in. ...

Twitter HashTags – Effective use

One of the best options that many freelance writers and bloggers are discovering is Twitter. This powerful social networking site is becoming a great way to increase steady readers to a blog. Those who are using online content sites are finding that Twitter also provides them with great opportunities for increasing page views which in turn increases their revenue. HashTags are a community generated method of drawing attention to a specific word or group of words. They have been used for things like tracking hurricanes, donations, and even for getting groups of people involved in a single conversation. In...

Twitter is a great social networking site and it’s ideal for those of us who need to promote our work in order to (A) find more work or (B) earn more money. Like everything else that you find online, Twitter is also ripe for abuse. While it may be tempting (especially if you are using an automated program) to log in and retweet a number of items in a single batch (or schedule them to be re-tweeted), do not do this without looking at what you are re-tweeting. Things that can go wrong Once you develop a following on...

For many Bloggers, freelance writers and article submission site writers, Twitter has become the tool of choice for promotion. Like every other form of promotion however, it takes time. The time you spend on Twitter really does depend on your level of commitment to your marketing. But, this is where it gets interesting. Nearly every user that has indicated they use Twitter for marketing, they are showing increased revenues. Not small amount of revenue either, in most cases at least twice (and typically more) than they were making before. Time Robber There are a number of challenges you can...

I am not going to pretend that I’m an expert on Twitter. Far from it – in fact, I’ve barely crossed the one month mark using Twitter for anything. But, there are some things that I have learned that I hope can help others and save them some of the grief I have experienced in getting started. A) Your time - Before you start marketing on Twitter, establish how much time you’re willing to spend working on your Twitter account. Read my prior post regarding Twitter tools and decide which one works best for you. There is no doubt...

There is little doubt that Twitter is a powerful social networking tool. Just ask any of the Helium Writers who have accounts and are using Twitter to promote their articles. There is one major issue with Twitter however, you can waste a lot of time that you might otherwise be able to be making some real money! Not that you are not going to make some money promoting on Twitter, but don’t spend a ton of time using only Twitter as an earnings avenue. I’ve had the opportunity to check out several Twitter tools over the last month.There are...

Just like any other internet site, you have to use common sense on Twitter. There are thousands of Twitter users who are selling something – you can find them very easily. They are promoting MLM programs (which personally I detest), they are promoting Affiliate Marketing programs (and someone is making money from these, I don’t know who, but someone is). Everyone has something for sale. I’m not an exception to that rule – and I won’t pretend that I am. Recently I’ve been promoting an iPhone Application on Twitter. However, I have no vested financial interest in this application,...

If you are a member on Twitter, you might be having some struggles trying to determine who all these followers are and where they are coming from. Join the club! I’ll talk about identifying Twitter Follower “Types” in another post, but in this post I am going to talk about who NOT to follow and who you might want to consider unfollowing. If you are like me you’re getting a hundred emails a day from Twitter saying “This person is now following you”. Go to the link that Twitter provides you but before you agree to follow PLEASE look...

Twitter Followers – Branding

A couple of months ago I started watching Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as potential sources of new traffic and earnings. Frankly, I’m the skeptical type. I have to see that something works before I jump in with two feet. Any of you who have read my blog posts here or on my other blog know that I tend to be practical with my time, I don’t go for pie in the sky and I don’t believe it’s possible to make a million dollars sitting on your rear end and doing nothing. So let me introduce you to Twitter and...
