When you design your own cards to distribute, include basic information about your portfolio. Your portfolio URL and email address are two things everyone should understand.

For example: "Specializing in the horror and science fiction" or "Writing and Romance novels for young adults" or "With action-packed adventures of" Jack Rubble. "

The display URL of your portfolio on public message boards non http://www.100earningtips.com, clubs and discussion groups can provide huge amounts of interest. There are countless online gathering places that focus on specific genres such as romance, science fiction, fanfiction ... or more general such as writing poetry or short stories.
