As a freelance writer, a large aspect of the career involves promoting your name. This can be done in a number of ways.

Socializing is a great way to get your name out into the writing world. There are many socializing sites you can use to accomplish this. A few of the sites I use are twitter, facebook, and myspace. Socializing is very easy to do. Simply join and participate in writers groups, forums, and discussion boards.

Promoting your self can also be done by creating a web site. My website has increased the traffic to my online work and has helped me make many new contacts.

Business cards are also great to use. Many sites often have deals to print free cards, all you have to do is pay for shipping. Business cards with your writing information on it can be handed out whenever the situation presents its self.
