This is a single serving from the book Writing Online by Sean Platt for those who only need specific information. If you want the full book, you can get it here. http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Online-ebook/dp/B0055LHDQ8/
The world of Twain, Hemingway and Salinger no longer exists.
Though the home row may still mean everything to a modern writer, marketing has never been more important. And the sharpest marketing tool in the modern writer’s box is a blog. A writer without a blog is handicapped when finding and cultivating an audience of eager readers.
Whatever type of writer you’re aiming to be, you must establish a strong online presence. But that won’t come without work or learning to effectively navigate the online space.
You don’t need to be ridiculously gifted. A good writer can make a great living if you can write with clarity and think BIG. But you’re unlikely to succeed if you can’t draw a crowd. It doesn’t matter if you want to be an ace copywriter, ghostwriter, or grant writer; write novels, magazines, or screenplays; become a marketer, coach, or consultant, you must make yourself known online, even if it’s just within your niche.
It isn’t enough to be a great writer. In today’s world, successful scribes know how to command attention. A good writer with an earned reputation will have more creative control, freedom, and opportunity than a great writer who doesn’t know how to effectively mine the many freely-available online tools.
“The Writer’s Guide to Blogging” gives you everything you need to get going and get noticed.
