Press Release Body: Dear Writing Reader,
Here is my top five tips for increasing the amount of exposure to anyone\'s online
Writing Portfolio:
Tip #1: Add your Online Writing Portfolio URL to your email signatures.
The simplest way to promote your Portfolio\'s URL is to add it to the email signature
of any and all email accounts you have. With just a few minutes of your time, you\'ll
turn any correspondence you have into referral generating machines! Here are a
couple quick examples:
Tip #2: Link to your Public Portfolio from your homepage or other sites you control.
Next on the simplicity ladder is linking to your public portfolio from your personal
homepage or business website. You can provide your site\'s visitors with a text link
or create a logo for your online portfolio.
EBay and other auction sites are also great places to get added exposure. The next
time you list something for sale; don\'t forget to add your portfolio URL and you\'ll
have your site\'s visitor count on the rise in no time!
Tip #3: Directly invite family, friends, teachers, coworkers, publishers, agents,
editors and more to visit your online writing portfolio.
Inviting your own family and friends doesn\'t always have the highest appeal... After
all, it's not necessarily their opinion you want and you can ask them to read your
writing any time you want. But, reading something online is different and often
opens up someone to provide a better and more realistic critique of your work.
Plus, these real life contacts may be the one to forward your portfolio URL to
someone else\'s friend or family member who lends that helping hand or offers the
right word of encouragement to brighten your day.
Teachers, co-workers, editors, publishers and other associates are also great people
to refer!
Tip #4: Create business cards with your online writing portfolio URL and hand them
to friends, associates and other people you may meet who are interested in reading
or writing.
Anyone can create their own business cards. The least expensive route is to purchase
ready-to-print business card paper sold at stores such as Staples, OfficeMax,
Wal-Mart and others. The paper is heavy cover stock and is perforated which makes
each business card clean and easy to separate! If you\'d like the whole thing done
for you, Staples, Kinko's and others business shops offer complete and inexpensive
business card creation services.
When you design your own cards to hand out, include basic information about your
portfolio. Your Portfolio URL and email address are two things that everyone should
include. You might also include a \'tag line\' about your writing style or favorite
genres. For example: \"Specializing in Horror and Science Fiction\" or \"Writing
Romance and Mystery Novels of Young Adults\" or \"Featuring the action packed
adventures of \'Jack Rubble\'\".
Tip #5: Include your Portfolio URL when posting in relevant newsgroups, groups or
discussion forums.
There are countless online gathering places that focus on specific genres such as
romance, sci-fi, fan fiction... or more general writing such as poetry or short
stories.
Remember: Internet etiquette states that you should not post in a newsgroup or forum
unless your post can stay on topic. Bulk emailing and other \"spam\" like tactics are
NOT acceptable and will not be tolerated by most websites and webmasters!
