Weekly Newsletter for Freelancers
You need an identity on the web especially when you are a writer. Your audiences, your clients and the publishers should be able to discover you easily on the internet. If it becomes difficult for them, then you are really losing a valuable marketing opportunity.
The only real solution for your online identification is that you must have an authority website of your own. Yes, people can discover you from the other’s sites where you regularly post. But, a website gives authors credibility and it acts as their home on the web.
If you want to write a non-fiction book or a novel before writing it you need to cultivate your audience. This is not really possible on other people’s website as it does not allow you to build your own authority.
This will be the place where people will find your details, your writings and your books. Your own website helps you build your authority. If you are not too sure about how to go about building an authority website, here is the step-by-step guide for you.
Motivate Yourself!
