With desire and well-directed effort, a good writer can end up with a variety of work. However, as we know, there is much more to the writing biz than the meat and potatoes of the actual writing. Research, record- keeping, finding markets, composing and sending queries, dealing with rejections and self-promotion all factor in, and it all takes up a great deal of time. But the actual money, and the greatest satisfaction, comes from the writing itself and seeing your by-line posted on some well- trafficked site. So, the question becomes, "How do I make more time for writing and spend less time on the "other stuff'"? That "other stuff" is vital to being a successful writer, so the trick is to find the easiest and most simplified ways to accomplish the "not writing stuff." I have given it much thought - and spent a great deal of time - and as a cyber-writing veteran I have discovered there is timesaving value in search engines. Eight years ago I would not have believed that the time- consuming search engine could be my friend. But now I know better! * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/general/search_engines.html 10 SIMPLE WAYS TO EXPAND YOUR SUBSCRIBER LIST by Catherine Franz Category: Promotion - http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion Here are 10 ways to expand your subscriber list: 1. Keep your subscription form easy to find on every webpage. Preferably, add it on your navigational bar. If the form is to large for the bar or page, add a hyperlink and send them to a popup or a separate page so that the previous page on your site doesn't disappear. It is easy for them to return. 2. Not only must the form be easy to see, it also needs to be easy to read. Label each field. I've seen a few where I didn't know what to enter. Be kind to computer readers suffering from dry eyes, make the font large and easy to read. 3. Do you write your own ezine articles? Add a "please subscribe here" line to your byline. Begin the line with a benefit they get from subscribing and then add a few invitational words along with a URL hyperlink. Example: "Learn more about this topic. Subscribe to [name of your ezine] by visiting...." * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/promotion/subscribers.html ARTICLE WRITING: EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW, I LEARNED FROM MY ENGLISH TEACHER by Glenn Beach Category: Technique - http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique By now you probably understand how important writing for trade publications is to establishing credibility in the home business world. On to the first hurdle: how do you get past that HUGE writers' block? How do you know what to write about, and how do you make it unique, informative and interesting? Remember how you resisted writing those reports in school, insisting that you would never need to know how to do that in "real life"? Welcome to the real world of business writing. Your English teacher gave you the bare bones: pick a topic, research, take notes, make lists and an outline, write a rough draft in your own words, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. Don't forget introductory paragraphs, summaries, footnotes and bibliographies. * Read the rest of this article at: http://www.wordpreneur.com/technique/article_eng.html ------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT E-FACTORY.COM - http://www.e-factory.com 100% free and useful articles on how to build, run, and grow your very own Internet enterprise!
