Another place you might like to promote your work is on a popular site called Squidoo. It already has good rankings in search engines, and with a little keyword research, and making the page look interesting with pictures and content…which for a writer should come naturally…you may be surprised at the visits that you will receive.
One poetry author that is using Squidoo is Dell Ann Ray – she has a sample of her poetry on the topic of foster care, and interesting way to share about something she cares about. As she continues to update and add to her pages, they will increase in the rankings and receive more and more visits.
