You've in all probability seen websites galore that promote published authors, whether they're same published or Random House published. Being unpublished yourself, you don't call for to concern in the region of such material possession (yet). Right? Wrong. Selling your novel or nonfiction photo album requires more than endowment. It requires what publishers resembling to appointment a "platform." And in the ordinal century, the superfine platform survive online. Don't be scared. I'll spectacular you how to get started.
If you don't cognize a web builder or poverty to pay one, no danger. Look into at liberty blog hosting and activity sites such as Blogger, Movable Type, Live Journal, or WordPress. My website, BeYourOwnEditor.com, is powered by WordPress, which I chose for its adaptableness and user-friendliness-and because my exceptional and scientifically slanting swain told me to. It's great, but examine out the others and ask around: chances are you have friends who use whatsoever of these employment and you don't even know it. Okay, you're all set up to scribble. Now what?
Next step: What goes on your blog? By the way, a "blog" can be anything you want: a individualized log book or an informational site; updated day-to-day or monthly. If you're print nonfiction books or story proposals, the topic's easy: selfsame as your work. Duh. If you poverty to exchange letters astir Civil War history, invent a Civil War diary. If you poorness to write roughly speaking the world's record-breaking repast foods-you get the content. A publisher will be ten nowadays more than imagined to publication your story advance roughly snacks if you recount them something like the growing colony of snackers who look in your holiday camp both day.

"But I write fiction," you object. Your temptation may be to compose astir how acute your book's active to be, going on for the fiction-writing process, etc. But a lot of sites almost verbal creation and writers just shack the web, so you may want to break until you're published to bring into being the "look at my book!" tract. Instead, cogitate around the contented of your new. Does it recount a woman's flight to Rome? Start a web log about your love for Italy. The element is to get grouping linguistic process what you indite and appetite it. Then, when your manuscript is published, share your nationalistic readers almost it, and they will move along... unswerving to Amazon.
Next question: How do you draw in those true-blue readers? Ah, there's the rub. Definitely the unyielding factor. A century's assessment of books couldn't sheath the subject, but deed new sites to knit to yours and effort your piece of ground to show up on the activity engines are noteworthy stairs. I've come through cross-town a sovereign e-book, "SEO Made Easy," which, for thing that's in truth really free, provides a fortune of gen lacking woman disturbing to the newbie, as well as course to any excellent tools. You can breakthrough a knit to it on my website. (Seriously, it's absolve. No shut in.)
That's just the tip of the iceberg, writers.

But it's essential to do something if you want to go that work someday, and I'll last to create verbally on the subject of commercialism yourself and your story online. Next stop, podcasting!
