Start your own online column today

Newsvine has made it simply easy to become an online columnist today. From seeding favorite links and news articles to publishing your very own column. Newsvine has a place for every online blogger.

The best part Newsvine shares it's earing with it's most active and productive members.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A nich column or idea
  • create a group
  1. Step 1

    Once you register and become a member. Decide on a niche column or types of news or information you want to write about. An example would be Breakfast Bloggers Column. " Small town news in large media."

  2. Step 2

    Create your own group like the Breakfast Bloggers group on newsvine.

  3. Step 3

    If you decide you do not want to submit some small town news or articles on newsvine just seed a link.

  4. Step 4

    Seed a link? When you visit the Newsvine site your notice a tab that saids seed. it's just another term for bookmark. It's like digg.

    *Warning do not self promote your own articles or links.* Newsvine will suspend your account.

  5. Step 5

    You should however be seeding the articles you read on ehow.( Other than your own) Just by submitting article and seeding friends links and articles you do earn a little extra cash.

  6. Step 6

    The internet is full of social book marking websites and places for you to start your column. I use mine to tell our small town news that just is not worthy of national publication or media attention.

    It's our way of letting the rest of the world know we are still here.

  7. Step 7

    Click the share button o this article. Than click more. You will see about 50 different book marking sites, Newsvine is one of them. The ones I use most are Ask and Reddit. I do seed my ehow friends articles to digg and newsvine.

    Even if an article has been dugg you need to digg it too the more diggs the better the chance at being displayed on the entire website.

Tips & Warnings
  • Write often write well, share other works by using the bookmarking sites provided by ehow.
  • Never self promote on newsvine the others are ok.
