Writers’ Roundup: March 2

I’m back from Nicaragua and reuniting with my Google Reader!

Here are a few links to start the weekend:

• While I was gone, Tom Ewer shared a really cool list: 100 blogs that will help you leave your work behind (including The Traveling Writer!).

• Hopped on the Pinterest train? Over at Copyblogger, Beth Hayden shares some ideas of how to use the platform to market yourself or your projects.

• At My Name is Not Bob, a (long and complete) list of this year’s best blogs for writers.

• Thinking of creating a paid newsletter? Read this advice from real estate marketer Ricardo Bueno first.

• Take the first steps toward working for yourself with the help of writer Chris Guillebeau, who shares tips from his blogging community, as well as his own experience.

• While I was traveling, a piece of mine ran on Problogger that some of you might be interested in: A Tale of Two Ebooks. Explains why one of my eguides has done well, while the other hasn’t.

• Finally, if you have an idea you want to turn into a business, check out Brazen Careerist’s (my client) new bootcamp, The Big Idea, which starts Monday.

Enjoy your weekend!
