2 Free Effective Marketing Tips for Online Writers

Following is an in-depth look at two time-tested, free marketing tips for new and/or online freelance writers. I think it helps to know why a marketing method is effective. That way, you’re much more likely to stick with it instead of just doing it because everybody else is.

Although there are many ways to promote yourself as a freelance writer, your budget will dictate how you market. Getting familiar with free and low-cost marketing tactics means you will always be able to market your services – no matter what your financial situation. Read this in-depth tutorial here.

So, if you have a question you want to ask me, send it in [info [at] InkwellEditorial.com]. I'll answer as many as I can (in truth, I'll try to get to all of them). If I don't have the answer, I'll tap some of my sources (time permitting).

NEW SERIES: Freelance Writer's Technology Month

As I said in my last post, I’ve dubbed November Freelance Writer's Technology Month. What’s this all about?

A Solid Week of Research into How to Make Real Money Online as a Freelance Writer

Recently, I spent a solid week – 50-60 hours – researching how people make “real” money online. I’m talking long-term, sustainable, pay for healthcare and retirement money. To do this, I went back to basics. I forced myself to forget what I thought I knew and approach everything fresh.

As I wrote about in this article, Why Freelance Writers May Be the Poorest Internet Entrepreneurs, freelance writers are not very good at embracing technology.

Sure, we may get as far as learning a little HTML code, scan and upload images, and even create simple logos, but we don’t get much beyond that. Once I started reading, practically all of my searches took me to some internet marketing guru’s site.

Invariably, I’d find a discussion about some piece of technology that would give me a eureka moment. That’s when I knew that I had to change the way I went about my business.
