How to Publish Your Work and Earn from Your Writing- Options for Self Publishing

Have you finished a novella or novel, or maybe a collection of poems that you want to publish? Have you wondered how to go about doing so?

It isn’t easy to write a novel and for some of us, the mere length can be intimidating. Sometimes we aren’t even sure how to begin telling the story we want to tell. Sometimes, once we’ve started, we don’t know what turn to take next in the story. We fight it out until we know what to write next and eventually, we have a completed work.

Then comes the next obstacle; getting the text published. There are many options available to do this. None of them are easy. None of them is guaranteed to bring us sales. None of them comes without hearing the word ‘no’ at some point.

If you decide to self-publish, you should know that the famous author, Zane, also self-published her first book. You can work with print-on-demand companies such as CreateSpace and Lulu. Lulu will accept any file format and does the work of converting the file to Acrobat. CreateSpace only accepts files which are Acrobat ready.

CreateSpace has the advantage of being associated with Amazon. It is owned by Amazon. You can also create an e-book and sell your work as a secure download on the Internet. Check out Clickbank or Amazon Kindle to learn more about handling the commercial side of this.

If you choose to find a publisher, prepare a synopsis of your manuscript to go with your query. If you already have this, read it through again to make sure it is sufficiently descriptive of your work and what makes it special, without being too long.

In fact, your synopsis shouldn’t just be sufficiently descriptive. It should grab the attention of the editor-not by being outlandish but by having the characteristics that the particular editor is interested in.
You’ve spent time writing a good story. Spend the time to ensure that the introduction to that story gives it a chance to be looked at. If you don’t want to work with editors yourself, consider working with an agent.

Benefits of the Linksmart Keyword Discovery Tool: A Google Adwords Alternative

The Linksmart Keyword Discovery Tool is one option to consider if you are looking for good ways to find keywords for your content. Recently, Google stopped offering their Adwords tool and released the new Keyword Planner. This tool might take some getting used to.

Linksmart’s tool can be used to improve engagement on sites that you already publish on. It provides information that helps you keep visitors on your site longer and that in turn increases the chances of visitors taking an action that brings you profit. For example, they are more likely to like your content and become a subscriber, or make a purchase of a product that you offer.

Webmasters sometimes try to improve engagement by changing the design of their site. While this helps, it is not always necessary. There are also instances where you just aren’t interested in altering the code on your website. The Linksmart tool comes in handy here, since it allows you to avoid making changes to the code. However you still reap the benefits in terms of how well visitors interact with your content.


So What Exactly Does the Linksmart Keyword Discovery Tool Do?
This tool allows you to find out which of the clickable links on your site are performing the best. Many online publishers link pages within their site to each other. For example, a page on blue cheese may be linked to a page on cream cheese. However, you may not be sure how many visitors on the blue cheese page actually click through and go on to the blue cheese page.

Getting information on which links are performing will help you to find new revenue opportunities. If many visitors are interested in clicking a link on Cashel blue cheese, some of them may be interested in buying Cashel Blue Cheese, or getting on an email list that offers them coupons for Cashel Blue Cheese.

The tool was only recently released in the last few weeks of July. Using it will help publishers to better understand which keywords their visitors are interested in. Linksmart's Keyword Discovery tool also provides ideas for which phrases should be linked to and identifies undiscovered opportunities that already exist on the site.
