As for Google, grab your places profile to enhance local search www.google.com/places - that way you are more likely to show up in local listings eg searches on Brisbane writers cheers Jon Really great list Joanna, and I like how you’ve backlinked to your own articles :)

A friend Sam is putting some feelers out for Wikipedia for me - apparently you can't write a page on yourself - but presumably you could write about a specific topic. I guess it is a community like any other. Thanks, Joanna Thanks David – I have started tentatively with YouTube but am intending to expand my video presence in 2010.

I've just signed up for YouTube [next week's challenge is to get a video up!] The rest of the list gives some more targets to plan in [already there on facebook and twitter]. It's interesting what you've noted about notability and wikipedia - what about if you've a specific topic that you can launch as a page, and where you may be referenced? ...something to explore! Thanks too for you article on 3 Steps to Start your Author Platform. It's a useful reminder to go one step at a time as there seem to be so many options available.

In that case, I LOVE user generated content. I'm on FB and twitter all the time. I'll enjoy watching you get notorious from this side of the globe. :-) Beth Joanna, thanks for the definition.

So is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc - so most of these sites do have user-generated content. Hope that explains it! I also want to add that my friend Sam has told me re Wikipedia that you have to be notable http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability and they need externally verified sources etc. So I won't be getting on Wikipedia until I am a bit more notorious! Watch this space :) Hi Beth – the user-generated content is precisely the sites listed – i.e. wikipedia is all user generated, not done by a company.

Beth - I know you have started already! Paul - so true! It's amazing how that has changed - now anyone can be on there, you just have to be found. Sam - I was going to try and do it myself, but perhaps need to find someone else.Thanks for the comment. I shall try DIY first. Thanks guys.
