The Importance of a Freelance Writer's Personal Web Page

Whether you're a freelance writer specializing in catchy slogans for advertisers, one who dabbles a bit into the world of finance, or a poet looking to publish creative works of the heart, a private web page to display your work is of the utmost importance to your success. Why? A targeted link to your page will grant prospective employers an online portal to your resume, not to mention that any of your published works on the World Wide Web are just a click away.

Another key aspect of having a private web page is the fear that many employers and clients have when it comes to downloading files. Viruses are more common than ever, attaching themselves to word documents and other file types, many without the sender's knowledge or obvious approval. Potential employment and money in your pocket could very easily be lost due to one's refusal or inability to download a file.

Writer's collections scattered all over the Internet can be brought together into one place when a freelance writer has a specialty web page devoted to their writing. No matter the genre, a link to a page with this sole purpose will pull everything together to give your clients a quick view at your works. It's much easier to keep track of a website via a bookmarked page than a lonely piece of paper on a desk or in a file.

To detail, add a photo and/or customer reviews to your page to make your page truly your own. The ability to blog about specific topics on your page, whether its about current events that you feel strongly about, yourself and your different writing styles, or the even the movie you went to see this weekend with your personal review of the new little bistro that just opened on the corner- blog your brains out and get people coming back to your page to see all about you and your writer's life. Themed blogs have been known to make a few extra dollars for the authors when Google AdSense is brought into the picture. This pay-per-click group of advertisers is more than happy to pay you for any potential business you bring to their site.
