Journalisted, E-byline, Retaggr and other online promo tools

If you are a UK-based journalist, you want to be on Journalisted

Journalisted will carry a profile, plus links to articles, to websites and social presences of any UK journalist published online

That's my Journalisted profile above.

Journalisted is an initiative from the Media Standards Trust, which has set out to index all prominent journalists in the UK.

They’ve done this automatically for those who are published regularly in national newspapers' online versions, and for BBC news reporters

If you fit that category you’ll probably find a page exists for you, with your work neatly listed. You can claim that page and add your own content and links.

If you haven’t been automatically indexed, you can apply to them for listing. Anyone who is published online, including students journalists are eligible

Here's their invitation to students:

Here’s part of what they say abot this initiative:

“The site allows you to:

Search articles published on UK national newspaper websites and BBC News by journalist, news outlet, subject and key word
Read all articles by a particular journalist
Find out further information about a particular journalist – such as links to a personal website or wikipedia page and, in some cases, an email address
Compare a journalist’s articles with those of other journalists who write about similar subjects
Contextualise articles, by seeing blogs that have linked to it and comments people have left about it
Find similar articles to the one you’re reading
Set up alerts to tell you when your favourite journalists have written something new”

Add your biog and links

As well as your articles you can add your biography and links to all your sites and social presences.

As they say: “Would you rather your future editor saw your Facebook page, or your Journalisted profile?”

E-byline

E-byline is designed to bring publishers and freelances together

Here are the benefits they say freelances wil get from it:

Ebyline Freelancer Welcome Video from Ebyline on Vimeo.

Here’s a recommendation from Media Bistro

There are four reasons freelancers (and editors) should take a look at Ebyline:

1. You can upload text, photos, video and audio

2. It’s free

For freelancers, the site is free to use. Once you apply and are verified as a freelancer, you can pitch or receive assignments.

3. Content is available “a la carte”

Ebyline allows freelancers to upload individual stories or other content and set the pricing themselves. Editors can also buy one video or photograph from a specific freelancer or even from another publisher.

4. The invoice process is automated

Sometimes it can take months for freelanceres to get paid. Ebyline automates the invoice process so a freelancer receive a check as soon as a week after submitting content.

Findstringers

Findstringers is “a freelance journalism marketplace”

It's still in Beta stage but I think it's worth signing up for.

Retaggr

I really like Retaggr

It's a little app that you can link to wherever you have a presence on line.

When browsers mouse over the Retaggr logo, up pops your full profile. It’s great for places where you post content regulrly - your blog, say - but don’t necessarily have the space for your full personal sales pitch

Mine looks like this:
