Writing With Purpose

Wow! I have been so busy! Yet, I can’t believe I have neglected the blog for a week! I was so faithful about adding something every day. I must apologize. I need to get a calendar set up, so I don’t forget what is important.

But, during the past week, I have been working in the back end of freelance writing and learning how to change and add to a WordPress blog. It is something different. I think the knowledge will help me in the future. I’m even thinking about taking some programming classes.

Can you imagine being able to tell future clients: I can build your website; then, I can populate it with good, solid content, before I use my marketing skills to advertise it all over the Web?

Seriously, if you really want to make it in this business, you will need to diversify. I have said it before, and I will say it again: the competition is getting tougher out there, because more people are turning to the Internet as a source of income-you and me included!

So, now you know what has been keeping me busy. But you need to know about the great new advertising tools I have found. Of course, as usual, I am looking for the freebies.

I found a site that will help you create banners for FREE. In addition, it will give you the html code to plug it into your site, or wherever, so you can benefit from it immediately. http://www.snacktools.com/ It is great fun!

I made this banner for advertising on another site in just a matter of minutes. As you can see, you can also create banners for your own site, to make a point or catch the readers eye. Although the full size will not embed into this post, check out the right side of my blog and you will see a simple flash banner that will lead you to Living with Cerebral Palsy.

You can also make banners to insert into emails, to send a personalized greeting card to someone. You don’t necessarily need a website of your own.

So, forgive me for neglecting my blog, and have fun with this new tool I have found to ramp up your advertising campaign.

Do you have any cool advertising tools that you prefer?
