Freebies
I’m a sucker for anything free. I just get this wonderful feeling that I’ve got the better of someone – so who cares if it’s a nameless, faceless someone? If there’s a sale, that’s where I am and when I’m back home I wonder what on earth made me give into temptation and pick up the things I did!
Can you wonder how my eyes lit up when I saw that Google was giving away free websites? Not one but 5 of them. Sure there are a number of places in the virtual world where you can go get a free website. But this was Google! I just had to be there. So off I went and registered. It’s called Page Creator and you’ll find it if you go to your Google Accounts – you know where there’s more freebie stuff like Picasa and the calendar and more.
Well, it’s as easy as pie! Just go in there and pick a template and start writing. Then hit publish and whoa! you’re out there making a mark in the virtual world!
So many people who write swear by their blogs. But if you have something to sell – say, like me, you’re a freelance writer – the Page Creator is a good place to start. No hosting fee, your choice of templates is right there in front of you and all you need to do is type in or copy-paste your stuff and in a few minutes, your whole portfolio is on the Internet for anyone to see.
Now any work I apply for, I add a link. My Google link. I know all the person has to do is to click on it and it will take him straight to my site and it will give him a fairly good idea of what I am capable of writing for him. And of course, it’s free. Major advantage!
