Ask yourself, mainstream or specific areas of interest?

Assess your inclinations, your passions,your hobbies, your beliefs, your social,religious and economic outlook. Make a list. In your career, what is your area of expertise? Do you write reports at work? Do you keep a journal? A diary? You're already a writer!

The internet is open to all segments of society and to people from all walks of life. Access is not limited to the technologically inclined. It is no longer as initimidating as it was when the information superhighway first opened in the 20th century. People are less apt to admit their computer illiteracy, rather, more members of our society are learning how to navigate the cyberspace.

Learn about the basic rules of writing for the web. Cyber readers tend to be fast thinkers, speed readers, with only seconds to spare.If you want to grab their attention, remember, you only have precious few seconds to do it.

Take heart. You already know this. You love to see your by-line. The web will help you get your name out there. The more you write, the better you'll get at it. Technically, if your work gets published on-line, you are considered published.

Only thing, writing for the web for the countless e-zines and newsletters and websites is not for those who intend to make a living from their writing. Not at the start.

If you are willing to write and submit your articles for free, don't miss out. For the aspiring writer, it is a good way to start. The more you write, the more exposure you will get, readers will get to know your name. Writing for the internet helps to drive traffic to your website.
