A website for a writer must be attention-grabbing

We who write need to have websites to advertise our work whether it be blog and content writing, novel writing, or article writing. We who are serious about the work we do will want to share our writing with others. After all, we didn't write it for ourselves. Writing is a communication tool! It implies that we are putting something out there for others to read.

A writer's website needs certain characteristics - such as a bio, writing samples, and sales pages. I've discussed the basics of webdesign for writers on How to Create an Impressive Writing Website and given examples on Websites For Writers.

If you're serious about being a writer, make yourself a website. It may not be the greatest creation at the beginning, but over the months and years you can add to it.

You could start with a one-page brochure website - perhaps including only a photo of yourself and information on your current writing projects. Next, perhaps a bio page. You could write about yourself and tell people why to feel compelled to be a writer. People want to know.

Next perhaps a blog would be a good addition. Tell people about what you're writing as you write it. Blogs are great fun but do require upkeep. Frequent blog postings are very much appreciated by your friends and family.

Writing is an awesome hobby and an even more exciting profession. Once you start bringing in the bucks thanks to your writing you will value your writing website as a necessary professional writing tool.
