Platforming is critical per the publishing crowd and I think it's a good idea to start building it as soon as possible and gain some early on name recognition. George Hi Earl,

I appreciate the comments. Platforming is critical per the publishing crowd and I think it’s a good idea to start building it as soon as possible and gain some early on name recognition.

You did a fine job of answering the question. Your point about blogging on both is good. Blogging keeps the sites fresh and up in the search engines a bit. As always, thanks for coming by!

The purpose is to let people know me the writer and I have a blog attached to show case my writing skills. I am now thinking perhaps I should put together a different site which I can make sort of a personal site to share me with people. I think you are right, and I am thinking also I should put together sites for my other freelance actives.

It's main focus is for potential clients to see my work and possibly for new clients. It has a place for my work, testimonials and a way to contact me. I think that's fairly focused. I'm sure it could use some work though. I think the main goal of it is to show my authority in writing and build some credibility as it also has a semi personal blog with it. But I think your on the right track though with seperating yours. Your author site should just be about your projects and novel writing and what not. While your other site would focus on getting work. Anyways, I say blog on both. I have two sites, one my main blog (The OMV), and the other my portfolio site. On The OMV I blog at regular intervals. But on my portfolio I only blog once in a while. It's just another way for people to get to know me a little better and show my authority in writing. Of course everything is always a work in progress, and things may change down the road. And I'm not sure if I answered your question or not, but that's where I'm sitting and thought I would share it with you. Well, I have a portfolio site atm.
