Making good use of your bookmarks toolbar
Hang on a minute – have I strayed into computer lessons here?
Well I suppose I have in a way, but this has every relevance to your writing, so bear with me! It just occurred to me that this is a little memory trick I use to make sure I check out certain websites every day, so I thought I would share it with you to kick off a whole new week.
If you come across a website or page you like, you can save it as a bookmark, right? Okay, well you can also save it on your bookmarks toolbar. And this is a very good thing to do with writing websites that regularly feature new jobs for writers. I’ve got the Firefox browser which I would thoroughly recommend, but you should be able to do this whatever browser you use.
Are you making the most of your browser?
Let’s say you try and remember to check sites like Elance, Get A Freelancer and even Craigslist for writing jobs each and every day. It’s not always easy though is it? I mean let’s face it, we all have regular lives and sometimes our writing can get pushed to the back and forgotten.
Enter your bookmark toolbar! Make sure that every site you check regularly (or keep meaning to check regularly…) for new online writing jobs is saved to your toolbar. That way you will see them every day and check on them without having to write yourself notes to try and remember to do so.
It’s a very simple thing to do, and you only need to bookmark them once. But once you have, you will remember to check them regularly. And that could make all the difference between getting those writing jobs and missing out.
Why not go and bookmark some sites now?
