New Resources for Bloggers, Authors, and Entrepreneurs

Just recently, I discovered two great resources for networking with published authors, aspiring authors, and getting your great content in front of millions of readers. I’d like to share a little bit about each one and encourage you to sign up if you feel it is something that will help further yourself and reach your goals.

Associated Content

What is it? From the website, Associated Content is:

AC’s platform enables anyone to participate in the new content economy by publishing content on any topic, in any format (text, video, audio and images), and connects that content to consumers, partners and advertisers.

Who is it for?

Contributors:

Contributors benefit in three major ways beyond the opportunity to publish: fair payment compensation, online discoverability and distribution through our partner sites. Anyone can become a Contributor. Associated Content publishes authentic, useful and informative content on nearly every conceivable topic, produced by real people sharing real-world expertise from diverse perspectives.

Advertisers:

The depth and breadth of our library is the perfect match for our partners who desire authentic content for their own websites or to advertise against at AssociatedContent.com. If we don’t have the content you need, our Contributors can quickly and affordably generate credible, engaging content on any topic.

My Opinion So Far:

Within the last 4 to 5 days since joining Associated Content, I have already received a warm welcome into the community, received great comments on my articles, and have started to network with other authors. I will write more on this as I spend more time in the community and continue to contribute.

Visit Associated Content, join the community, and continue to build your brand today!

Authors Den

Authors Den offers a unique opportunity to connect with publishers, published authors, and readers all in one place. Have a book you want to promote, Authors Den can help you make that a successful campaign. With over a million page views a month, this social networking site offers a great opportunity for authors to connect and build their readership and brand.

My Opinion So Far:

Having just signed up on this site, I haven’t had any interaction yet. I have heard people who have signed up and have seen an immediate impact to their traffic on their other sites so we’ll see. While that is not my primary reason for joining, it is another source of good, targeted, free traffic to market to.

Are you already  a part of these communities? If so, find me and add me as a friend and I’ll add you back. Look forward to hearing your comments on these communities and what strategies you use for networking, building your brand, and continuing to expand your readership.
