The Golden Pencil: The Freelance Writer’s Resource

Setting Up or Tuning Your Writers Website

by Anne Wayman on November 8th, 2007

Freelance Switch has a good post called: The Power of the Pre-Write: 5 Things to Do Before You Create Your Freelance Business Website. While I don’t much like the term, pre-write, the planning the article suggests makes sense, and the tips can be used to tune up your website as well as getting ready to create one.

My favorite sentence is “Make sure to inject keywords—but not to overdo it” under Get Noticed. Since you’re selling yourself as a writer, writing clearly is probably the most important thing you can do. Forcing keywords into any block of text may get you seen by more people, but if your site doesn’t read well, what’s the point?
