Schedule "Writing Maintenance Day" to Promote Your Blogs, Artices, and other Online Writing.

Organize Your Writing Projects 

As you begin working on multiple writing projects, it's easy to loose track of what all you are doing well. There are many different ways to organize your work, and starting to use Google Documents and Google Notebook. I really like the features of Notebook and am still using it, but unfortunately they are no longer working on it or accepting new sign ups. I'll look for a similar free online service to suggest here later. With documents or an online notebook you can organize what you're doing in a fashion that you can access online from anywhere, and share easily. It's also useful as a way to preserve your work, just in case your personal computer fails or you have to move suddenly. Life throws us many curve balls- and backing your work up online may help preserve your writing.

Schedule time to Promote Your Articles and Blogs

If you have online blogs or post articles online, you should work towards making it easy for interested people to find the material they're looking for. Regularly make sure your new articles and more important blog posts are indexed as pages on search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. ( Links to these and several others are in the right side bar of this page ). There are also many other ways to promote your writing. Post links to it on Facebook and encourage your friends to read and comment. Many people also use Myspace, Live Journal, Gather, and other social networks. Social networking can really help promote your articles and blogs, but only if you are involved. More people are likely to find your articles and blogs if you are also reading what other people post and commenting on some of it. Community spirit drives a lot of mutual appreciation and recognition. You can also use Stumble upon, Linked In, Shooving, and other places that allow you to share pages and links with a wide audience of readers.

It will probably be very useful to keep a swipe file, make time for free writing, and at least once a week do some "Writing Maintenance" in terms of promoting your content.
