First, I wanted to share the banner I made to promote this blog. It was requested by my friend, Jo the Great, so she could share this blog with all her readers. Thank you Jo! Here it is.
If you’re more graphically inclined, this image would be great to use to promote Freedom Writing. Of course, text links work just as well. If you do like it, let me know.
It takes a delicate hand to promote your freelance business effectively. Personally, I don’t visit a lot of social network sites. The more I subscribe to, the more I tend to goof off. I do use stumbleupon, as well as plurk. Beyond that, I comment on relevant blogs, to perhaps interest them in checking out my blog. I’m also working on an About the Author page here, to promote my writing services. I plan on adding more promotional activities to my arsenal, as time allows.
Have any of you used creative ways to promote your blog and/or your freelance business? I’d love to hear your suggestions. This seems to be a pretty popular topic right now, as two of my favorite freelance blogs have something to say about it. Problogger.com has 13 Ways to Promote Your Next Blog Post, and Freelancefolder.com has 6 Simple Ways to Promote Your Online Business Offline. Check these posts out, and come back to tell me what works for you, and what doesn’t. Or maybe you have some new ideas that aren’t listed there. Share them with us, and we’ll all benefit.

You know, from what I’ve read, building up your blog is good in a lot of ways. Having an established readership looks good when querying agents, and often agents will google your name and see what you’ve written already. If it’s something you’re interested in, you should really check out some of these tips!

K–would you like me to try to add your banner to my site? I have never done so before, but I can’t imagine it would be that difficult. Let me know.
Cheers,

Sure! If you have any trouble, let me know. I know a little about HTML. I like your site, would you like me to add it to my (developing) link love area?
Thanks for stopping by!
