Using Social Networks to display your work

I know a lot of us are on twitter, myspace, ning, facebook and many more. The reasons we join all of these social networks is different for each person. But each writer should know that social networks can help display your work.

On most of these networks, they offer blog space. Use your blog space to post poems, chapters of an upcoming book, news on what you are up to. Make your blog active. Don't just use it every now and then make it active so that people can get used to seeing your name displayed on the new activity section.

You can also invite your friends to view your newest writing. Utilize that space. It can also work for your business; using it for updates and news on your business. Even if you have a blog space on your personal website, using a blog on a social network is a way to bring readers to your personal website. Some networks such as ning, allow you to write things or post things into a space on your page. Use that page to display a chapter from a book that was just released. Then at the bottom, post a link to your website to view more.

Myspace allows you to post bulletin's. Use that space to post info, a poem, or news that you want readers to know. This will get them to your blog and to your website.

Post blurbs on twitter about what's new and make sure that you keep your account on all of these social networks active and up-to-date. Keep yourself involved in what's going on.

This will help you get your name and work out there. Utilize social networks and all they have to offer. You don't have to befriend everyone. Your social networks can be for marketing purposes only. Whatever the reason you choose to be apart of a social network, be sure that it helps you in your writing career and utilize all it has to offer you!
