Working on Self Promotion

I spend a fair bit of time on self-promotion – or at least I did before I got so busy writing. One of the things I find is that I try things and create profiles, then lose track of where they are. So I created a little ready reference for myself, which I plan to add to as I take up new writing and promotion opportunities.

The other good thing about this list is that when I go to a new site, I can create a profile in seconds. I use the intro from my main site and this list to let people find out more about me while I’m filling in the details. It’s in three sections. The first is a list of the places where people can see my work. Of course, since I do a lot of ghostwriting, almost half my work isn’t there.

Where I Write:

  • doublehdesign.com
  • Sharon’s Writing Lab
  • Freelance writing advice blog
  • Writing Life blog
  • Lifetips.com
  • Freelance writing on Inspired Author
  • My freelance writing lens on Squidoo
  • My SEO lens on Squidoo
  • Ifreelance profile
  • BloggerParty blog
  • Free to reprint articles on EzineArticles

The second section is my recent publications. Of course I’ve got articles going back nearly 20 years in other publications, but people want to know what’s up to date.

My Books and Publications

  • SEO Tricks
  • Prepare To Die
  • Writing Lab News

The final section of my quick ready reckoner is borrowed from gracepub, who suggested somewhere that this was an easy way to let people find your stuff. This is where the benefits of article marketing really pay dividends.

This doesn’t have all my work by a long shot – and after this week’s efforts I’ll need to do some updating, but it’s a useful promotional tool.
