1
Start your own blog
Most major writers maintain their own blogs, where they publish their writings and allow readers to go through articles, or a few chapters of their books. If you possess good writing skills, you should create your own blog, and keep adding new posts to it regularly. A great method for self-publishing, a blog will allow you to garner readership, stay in touch with readers, and get valuable feedback, providing you a great opportunity to enhance your skills. -

Upload an e-book
If you have written an entire book, you can easily upload it on your website, and promote it through different means. Write the e-book in Microsoft Word, and convert it to PDF format after thoroughly erasing the errors. If you are a renowned writer, you can earn a lot by putting a price on your e-book. However, for new writers, it is recommended that the e-book be made available for free downloads, so that more people read the work, and the writer builds a fan base and makes a name for himself/herself. -

Use social networking websites to promote your writing
Social networking websites like Twitter and Facebook have become increasingly popular, and in addition to serving as a way to interact and keep in touch with friends and relatives, are used by many individuals and businesses for promotional means. You can use them to your advantage by sharing your work on Twitter and Facebook, and urging your friends to read it. You can also request your close friends to promote your blog or article on their Facebook walls, in addition to publicising it yourself. -

Join public pages
Most social networking websites offer public pages, where you can interact with millions of people and share a variety of things. You can share your writings on these pages - this is a great way to get free promotion, not to mention thousands of hits on your blog or website.
