Three Writers Resources You Need to Use

In todays world, writers have a plethora of utilities and resources available to help you gain a strong foothold on their potential markets. Being an aspiring writer, I currently use all of the services listed, and find them to really help me to improve as a writer, and a business man.

1. Helium.com

Helium is an ingenius writing community, capable of helping to stimulate the creative juices of anyone. Essentially, you browse through the list of topics available to everyone. There is an endless amount of topics, and if you don't find anything that interests you, you can start a topic of your liking. When you choose a topic, you are then included into a pool of other people writing on the same topic. You will then be rated by the other writers in the community against other articles in your category. The higher the rating, the higher the value, the more you make. I love this site, and it can really help you find your voice, and refine your work against others writings.

2. Triond.com

Similar to helium, but not as in depth, in my opinion. You upload articles or pieces you have written and they are avaialble to be picked up by different publications, online, or maybe off, and used for profit. You make a cut, and are paid through paypal.

3. LuLu.com

LuLu is your one stop shop for free self publishing. Whether is is a book, photographs, music, or anything in-between. The downside is that you lose about 60% of your sale to LuLu, but they empower you to have your products available for sale, whether it be download, or hard copy.
