Searching for Writing Opportunities
Last time, I mentioned that opportunities are not always as attractive as we might wish them to be. For example, working as a writer to support yourself may mean choosing a lifestyle somewhat different than what you now have. If you didn't like what I said there, you may like this even less. Homework!
There are two kinds of Internet and, if you wish, paper (library books, magazines, and newspapers) searches I'm going to suggest as exercises in finding opportunities.
The first is to see who the leading online publishers in your field are.
How?
Start with the website alexa.com. This site ranks other websites, although websites without much traffic won't show up here.
In my next post, I will show you how to find information on alexa.com about sites in your niche. However, as an Internet user myself, I remember things better if I figure them out for myself. So, if you're like that too, go ahead and start exploring what alexa.com offers. There is information on there specifically about the leading hunting and fishing websites, and using that as an example, that's what we'll look at next.
We're examining opportunities for your writing business, and as part of that, we're looking at who is using content similar to what you created or can create.
