Every writer today needs an effective website as part of a complete marketing plan.Take charge of your online presence and create an effective website this year. Anyone can do it, but is it a good idea to start a blog, or to create profiles on the various social networking sites? Unless you have a cause or a niche topic that cries out for grass roots support, a blog might be a little awkward for a writer, especially if you write fiction. How often do you have something worthwhile to say? Does anyone care that you're having a muffin for breakfast? Blogs are set up for frequent postings and also for comments from readers. Your blog will not gain much attention if you are not getting good participation from your readership. To get there it takes a lot of time and marketing yourself on other blogs. There are other more static social networking such as Facebook that provide contact and incoming links to your website, but don't require the same frequent updates that a blog would. I don't know about you, but extra time is rare. Question for you: How do you make use of social networks to complement your website and not waste oodles of time? If you've found a good strategy, please let me know.

Here's an idea: Here's a good reminder article published in The New York Times to watch your online presence. Anything you say online might be considered to be part of your résumé. If you feel that you "have" to rant about something off topic or something politically sensitive, then create a different persona for that purpose. One that can't really be aligned with your professional status. ~ ~ ~
Great ideas for your web presence.
