BR Writer’s Tips Vol. 4: Promote Yourself

Written by Ryan Alberti

The question:

How do I get my writing featured on Bleacher Report?

The fourth answer…

4. Promote Yourself

Writer and article rankings on Bleacher Report are based largely on audience response. The more readers you draw and the more fans you attract, the more prominently your writing will be featured on the network.

The practical implication here is that you’d do well to promote yourself however you can. And don’t be shy about it. Tell your friends about your articles. Get them to add you as a Favorite Writer. If you know a fan site that posts referral links, submit your work for consideration—anything you can do to get your name out there.

There’s no substitute for exposure, is the point—by any means necessary. All’s fair in love and cyberspace. The only thing holding you back is your own ingenuity.

    What if I don’t know a fan site I can Submit it too?

    I’d recommend researching your options via Google or another search engine. You’d be surprised how many diehard fan communities there are out there—the key is being diligent enough to find them. The harder you look, the better off you’re going to be.

    I know more about writing than I do sports. Hell, I know more about movies than I do about sports. But I DO know that when I have an opinion about sports it’s quite pointed and specific. So, we’ll see.

    Sounds like B/R may be a fit for you, Jack. Please let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns going forward.
