Writing-World - the site for freelance writers

Writing Sites We Like: ProBlogger

A site, not so much for writers in general, but for those who want to make money from blogging in particular, Daren Rowse's Problogger will need no introduction for those of you interested in blogging.

I've been reading Problogger avidly for well over a year now, and never cease to be amazed by the way Darren consistently managed to deliver useful, original content and advice on the subject of pro-blogging. The tone is open and honest - Darren has famously talked about how much money he makes from various sources - and this is just a great resource for anyone who wants to work online  as a blogger.

An absolute must-read.

Writing Sites We Like: Copyscape

Having been the victim of plagiarism myself, on more than one occasion, I thought it was only right that I make Copyscape the first in iour new series of Writing Sites we like.

Copyscape exists, in short, to try and beat plagiarists. By entering the URL of a page on your website, it will search for copies of that page (remember to search, not just using the URL of your homepage, but with the addresses of specific pages, too), allowing you to hunt down the people who are ripping you off, and put them to rights.

Well, OK, that last bit - actually getting them to remove the stolen copy - can be a lot more difficult. But finding out who the thieves are is a very good place to start, and you may be surprised when you run that first search.
