Think of your writer’s Web site as the hub of your freelance writing business. Whatever you’re doing, you should be adding it to your Web site.
For example:
* Add queries you’re sending out to magazines
* Add book proposals you’re shopping around to publishers
* Add news about your latest gigs, and your latest products, if you’re writing ebooks and reports (as you should be doing, for passive income.)
I see many writer’s sites, and few writers make the most of their sites.
It’s vital that you get as much content on your site as possible. Each page on your site operates as a gateway for clients to find you. Have as many gates as possible.
If you’re a Web writer, this is even more important. Not only should you have a “hub” site, the center of your Web writing, you should also create new sites for each ebook or other product you create.
BIG TIP: Add your LOCATION to your site
Where are you? Whether you’re living in a large city, or on a farm in the middle of nowhere… No matter which country you’re in, the publishers, business people and agencies in your area need writers.
It’s blindingly simple to add “New York”, “Sydney” or “Dublin” to your site’s pages.
People looking for writers will often add a location to their search query, and even if they don’t, search engines like Google use geo-targeting. That is, in response to queries, they take the searcher’s location into account. So for people in Your Town in Your State, and Your Country, you may well be the writer who pops up as the first offering on the query results page.
Use your writer’s site as the center of your freelance writing business, it’s vital.
