Ways to promote your work

Web Writers Cafe was started to help not only myself, but others too, gain exposure for the work that we do on the Internet. To receive that extra exposure it will be slow at first but with time will grow to a decent and steady traffic count.

Over at ProBlogger.net, Darren made a post earlier this year on "How to market your blog in the year 2007." This is a great article for anyone that is trying to get noticed on the web and it is the blue print that we will be using here at The Cafe to read the word. ProBlogger also lists blogging jobs that you may be interested in, so stop by and stop often.

The article gives you "41 ways to kickstart your marketing efforts" according to the post which was written by Tony Hung. This article will not only work for your blog, but it will work for you to promote your work on AC or Helium also. So print it out and start promoting your work, we will so the same here at The Cafe.

Going on vacation?

Our latest submission comes to us from Kristina, a Content Producer at Associated Content. Kristina has offered up a few travel articles that have been recently published.

My family happened to visit two of these destinations last year on our summer vacation and these articles would have come in handy then.

Adventures in America: Riviera Maya

Adventures in America: Wisconsin Dells

Adventures in America: The Black Hills

Thanks for the submissions Kristina and I hope everyone enjoys them.

The last article that I submitted to Associated Content was finally approved and with an offer. It was a small offer, but at least I earned one.

I have only received one submission to put someone's work on display, so I have decided to go out and find one for us to look at. This article is on the front page of Associated Content. I do not know the criteria for putting stories on the front page, but I believe that this story, even though it is a interesting subject, is not front page worthy and definitely not worthy of the 4.9 rating.

I am probably the last person who should be talking about spelling as I would be lost without my spell checker, but this author probably should have used one. There are a couple of spelling errors and used "effected" in the place of the word "affected." Simple mistakes but ones that should not be on the front of Associated Content.

Also, it seems that he was just rambling at the end to fill space as he really didn't say anything in the last few paragraphs. That is my review of the article, now tell me what you think!

First writing submission

I have received Web Writers Cafe's first writing submission and it is a request to post some poetry that he has written. I will post a link to Poetry Anon's poems below and a link to his blog.

I really do not know much about poetry, so I will let the Web Writers Cafe readers comment on Poetry Anon's work.

The Fat Man, with Glasses

Against the Odds

Balance

Thanks for the submission and letting us share your work.

Search before writing

In my last post I linked to the last article that I had written. Since then I have been waiting for the article to be approved and an offer made. While I was on the site, I did a search for the keyword of the article, which was FreeCycle, and it returned 75 articles with FreeCycle in it.

With that knowledge I am not expecting a big offer, if any. So lesson learned about what else one should do before starting an article.

Welcome to the Web Writers Cafe

Welcome to the Web Writers Cafe!

As a new web writer I have found that getting your work out on the web is critical to the success of your writing, at least the monetary part of it. So I have started this blog to have all of my articles linked to from one central point.

I am also hoping for your critiques and suggestions for the articles that I post and in return, I am asking you for links to your work so they may be critiqued and commented on also. There is a link in the right sidebar to send me the info you want to put in with the post. I will also post tips and tricks that I find as I scour the web.

So pull up a chair and your favorite beverage and welcome to the Cafe.
