Although I assume that there are many people who do this, I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who has set up a website to promote their writing? If so, then what kind of things do you include on your website to try to promote your writing?

Hi there, Yes I do have a widget in my blog and each time there is a new article for Triond my widget gets automatically updated. I also promote a great many to sites, like stumbleupon, delicious. Twitter, facebook, etc... The main articles I routinely write I do not promote as they are specifically assinged to me for brand new websites, in which I get a fee per article.

That is pretty cool. I had never even thought about using stumbleupon before. Perhaps I will give this a try with some of my own work. It couldn't hurt anything to put some work on there. Thanks for the comment.

Marketing yourself on facebook is a good idea. I do this every now and then with some of my writing. I just try not to do it too often. I am afraid that I would start to annoy some people if I put too many status updates up about my writing alone.

I have my blogsite. It is for the benefit of people appearing for examinations. People come, spread words and more people visit. another option is to visit others blogs, comment so that they also visit yours

I just purchased my domain name and activated it this morning, but I haven't added any content to the site, yet. When I do add content, it will be excerts from the books (and links to purchase them), short stories (in full or partial) and a little information about me. I might also put some current projects and/or up coming releases. I'll probably have some kind of feedback or comment forum as well. Don't know if that's what you were looking for, but I hope it helps. :)

I used to write a lot of poetry on a site called 'Writers Network' where you can share and view others work as well. It's mainly for poetry BUT.. I have seen a few stories, lyrics and articles around on there. It also has many users and is brilliant for feedback :)
