Excellent article. I have long been searching to network with other freelancers on several of the more popular social bookmarking sites to market my own content, and in turn help other freelancers do the same.

This is an area where networking for self-marketing really works. I do, however, find establishing freelancer friends and contacts on those sites to network with a difficult task.

(Possibly because everyone uses a pseudo name because they don’t want to constantly “digg” their own work?)

I would just like to say that I have been reading this site. It has great tips and valuable info. I would also like to say that both Angela Booth and Jeff Herring inspired me into freelance writing. I wrote articles for Helium. Jeff Herring is “The Internet Article Guy.” He signed up for a social network site. This social network site is called “Ning – Create Your Own Social Network!” It is for “Authors, Speakers, Coaches, and Podcasters.” A freelance writer could open their own network there and promote their work, etc. The URL to Ning is http://unlimitedspeaking.ning.com/ Just thought I’d share that with you for people who have not heard about it. Personally I have not signed up yet but am looking into it.

I only blog on Tuesday and Friday so blogging does not take up valuable job hunting and article writing time. Recently I signed up for MyBlog Log, Blog Catalog, Technorati, and Twitter so far. I will be looking into the others also.

Thanks for all the great info. and promo tips.

Hi all,

Have been considering getting involved in blogging for a while and after reading the helpful advice above thought it would be rude not to leave a comment – my first ever.

Thanks for the tips
Belly

I use almost everything listed here. I tried the social bookmark sites, but didn’t do too well with them. I think my problem is that, other than blogging, I don’t utilize the options the way I should.

Perhaps I’ll give the social bookmarks another go.

@ Hazel: I use blogger and have no complaints. It’s free.

Added bonus: it’s owned by Google, which means your blog shows up higher in their rankings when someone does a Google search.

Thanks for all the great blogging tips and encouragement — I’ll start putting down some ideas while I work on the technology …

Any tips about that? Free options would be good, but I could put a little into it if there’s a good reason.
