30 Technology Tips for Writers — Publish every day

This month, I’m providing a writer’s technology tip-a-day (along with other posts) to help you in your writing goals.

Today’s tip: Publish every day.

If you are a writer, you need to publish your work. One of the ways to publish every day is to write articles for your blog. It has almost become a requirement to sell a book. And it certainly helps to drum up business.

But best reasons to publish to your blog have nothing to do with selling a book or drumming up business: it’s creating the discipline to write every day.

Publishing every day helps with everything:

• Publishing every day helps define your unique writing voice
• Publishing helps build an audience for your work
• Publishing to an audience is different than writing for yourself. Your writing will change as a result of consistently writing for an audience.
• Publishing helps market your work because your work is on display for everyone to see

Perhaps you need not write every day as much as publish in your blog every (week)day. Many of my articles are, in fact, written ahead of time and time-stamped with a future publishing date. But the benefits of publishing every day are the same.

Having your own publishing platform that allows you to connect with your audience every day is a great use of technology.
