Richard Ridley's Self-Publishing Tip of the month

Have you written an article today? I know you've written a book, and you're eager to move on to the next one, but you're missing an opportunity by not branching out to other mediums. There are tens of thousands of ezines, blogs, and web sites looking for material to include on their sites. I dare say they are hungry for material.

As a published author, you almost have a professional obligation to feed them your words of wisdom. With each article you publish, you increase your visibility and establish yourself as a writer. You are building credentials that will help you sell books. Spend some time Googling topics and genres that are relevant to your book. Invariably, you will find more web sites than you can click on. Most of which not only want your clever insights and input, they need it. What are you waiting for? You can write. They need writers. It's a match made in heaven.
