    I have this crazy idea. To write my days as a college student. I had sooo much going on in the first year and I think it would be cool to write what I do and stuff like that:)

    I don;t expect to get any money or anything...but it would be really cool if I know ppl read it.

    How can I promote it...or spread the word? Thanks

    P.S: for those that are interested: http://collegechronicles.blog.com/
    I may get a domain and move it if it gets some readers.

    Its will be very difficult to promote it as people won't take the risk of time they spend on reading a book/biography unless you are a famous writer. It takes years to gain the popularity so that people know about you.

    One of the easy method may be word of mouth and start with telling your nears and dears first.

    instead of only writing everything down. Try a vidoe blog (vlog) on youtube. they tend to get visitors because everyone seems to want to see anyone talking about their life. try that and then post the link back to you blog in the description, then have people click it when your done with your vlog...just a thought.

    I am not very good at talking. Also I leave and study in a non-english speaking country. + other obstacles that make me prefer writing.

    Talking is much harder than writing. Its getting over the fear of writing. I personally suffer from that right now, but Im tyring to find a way to get around it.

    When my vlog is started Ill be sure to let everyone know where it is...so you can check out my life.
