Want more writing jobs? You can have them when you make the most of your writer’s Web site. In this article, you’ll discover five tips which will help.

As a freelance writer, you have unlimited opportunities to turn your writing skills to profit and make a great income.

However, I teach writers, so I know that getting writing jobs is often a concern, both for new writers, and those who are established. It shouldn’t be. Your writer’s Web site will help you to land all the writing gigs you want.

Here’s how to make the most of your site.

1. Add More Pages to Your Site

The more pages on your site, the more chances people will find you. So add pages to your site - the more the better. Each page is an opportunity to grab traffic from the search engines, and traffic means writing jobs.

2. Add Your Location to Every Page on Your Site

Even though the Web is global, people think local. Editors, publishers and other clients feel more comfortable dealing with a local, so add your city, state and country to every page.

As an added bonus, the search engines use geo-targeting, so when someone who’s local to you types “writer” or “freelance writer” into a search engine, your site, or rather one of its pages, may be the first offering on the results page. Voila - instant traffic.

3. Promote your Site, Online, and Offline

Promote your site in any and every way you can. The more promotion, the more traffic. The more traffic, the more income… You can get free advertising via the online classifieds, but there are many other ways to promote your site.

4. Use your Site as the Hub of Your Writing Life

Think of your site as the hub of your writing life. Add magazine proposals you’re shopping around to the site. Add book proposals. Add information on what you’re currently working on.

The more pages, the more traffic. Remember this, and prosper.

5. Join Social Networking Sites - Add a Link to Your Site Everywhere

The “social Web” is a boon to writers. Join networking sites, like Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Add links to your site, or sites. Any traffic you get is wonderful, and the longer your site is online, and the more links to it, the more traffic you get and the more writing jobs you’re offered.

Your writer’s Web site is the most important tool you have to ensure your writing success, and a wonderful income. Use your site - treasure it, and you can turn your writing into a great home business.
