How to Become a Good Writer by Using Online Marketing Techniques

So you want to be a good writer? Lesson number 1-you are full of crap!

I recently received an email from a person in someone's writer's life. The email was filled with advice about how to become a good writer. However, upon further reading, the first thing that caught my attention was the following message:

Here's the deal: if you want to learn how to become a good writer you need to STOP writing ebooks and start writing essays. Seriously, don't even try. People are not stupid, they will figure out what you are up to once you stop giving them articles to read. So, instead of writing, start giving people ideas and information.

This message sounded like a bad joke, and it was, but it's not the real honest-to-goodness crap that people tell you when they want something for nothing. It's the kind of stuff that sound legit, and when you see it you think, "Yeah, I'll take that." That's the kind of stuff you hear from real bad writers who know they are getting paid to write, not to give people ideas and information.

In fact, writing isn't like other things in life-it's a job, but not all jobs are created equal. If you want to learn how to become a good writer, you might used to give your essays to Essaybomber.

Another thing I learned from the email was that it is important to stop writing essays and start writing ebooks. Writing an article doesn't pay-you need to make sure that you are marketing yourself by writing books, and not by sending your articles out to thousands of different places. When you submit your articles to dozens of different places-including EzineArt and HubPages-you are showing that you have something valuable to say and that you have something to offer.

Another thing you need to stop doing is submitting your writing to places like Writer's Digest and Publishers Marketplace. These places pay big bucks for people to send their articles to and you can only benefit by a few hundred words in exchange. Therefore, you should not submit your writing to these places if you want to learn how to become a good writer.

What I mean is that you don't care what the publisher thinks, or that they will pay you anything. Instead, you want to be able to sit down and write an entire book without having to pay for your writing.

There are many different ways to learn how to write an entire book without ever spending a dime. One of them involves learning how to make a website.

If you're internet savvy, then you probably already know how to create a site that lets people find what you've written. You probably also know how to use a blog or other form of online advertising to sell your content. The thing you need to learn now is how to use it effectively. And here's how.

You need to promote your site by creating backlinks to it, and getting as many people as possible to join up to your list. People love to read and your site will get more traffic if it gets a lot of people coming to it and using the links on their site. When they use your links, they get to see your name in their signature box, and they'll click on the link and go to your site, thereby linking to your site.

You can make money just by promoting your site by joining affiliate programs with different websites. You can also place ads on forums and blogs. You can also join sites that have ads that allow you to put ads on your own site and have them placed on your site as well.

Finally, you can become a real estate agent and sell homes. Selling houses can be a great way to make money, too. But if you want to learn how to become a good writer, this isn't the way to go about it.
