Writers Have The Upper Hand On The Internet
AUTHOR: Marsha Maung
If not for the internet, many of us would never have made it as writers. Some of us would probably be stuck in a boring job in a kitchen or driving trucks from state to state or teaching in a kindergarten. Whilst there is nothing wrong with those professions, it’s wrong when deep inside, there’s a dire need to write and share what we know or a story with everyone else through the written word. Writing is like an itch. It needs to be scratched.
With the internet, writers get the chance to test-drive their skills, practice and get advice, promote ourselves, express our feelings and also start a business. Many writers can’t imagine what life would be like without the internet.
Of course, there are many other ways to promote oneself without the internet but let’s face it, it would be far less effective. And of course, photographers get quite a bit of help from the internet as with many other types of businesses.
But because the internet is a world where the written word is the leading reason why people can find you online, suffice to say that writers have the upper hand. If you could write a decent piece of work, you can use it to promote yourself via various methods. Almost everything is reliant on the written word.

Search engines rely on the words that you have placed on your website or pages to rank you. So, with that said, regardless of whether you’re a company selling mobile phones or a freelance advertising consultant, you need words to promote your services. Generating eyeballs (views, for those who don’t like the word eyeballs) from a website or a blog that you have created does not end when it’s done, you see. You need to get people to find you and come in and there’s no better way (videos and pictures are quickly catching up, though) to bring attention to yourself than to write nice pieces consistently.
So, don’t forget to write for yourself and promote your services regularly. Before long, other types of online tools will take over and writing to promote your writing services will be rendered second-rate method. We need leverage on our upper hand as writers while learning new tricks like creating videos and snapping nice, illustrative pictures to promote ourselves in the cyber world.
