I would also recommend checking in with favored journalists over time and trying to form a relationship with them. Once you become more than just an anonymous press release source, you've got the upper hand. About the free press release sites -- I've used them once or twice for link-building purposes. As for getting actual media coverage, I think they're pretty worthless. Great tips. I would also recommend checking in with favored journalists over time and trying to form a relationship with them.

I think the most important point I take from this, you mention toward the end: the harder you work and the more you work on your marketing angle and your press release, the better your business or blog will do as time goes by. People (me included) think that somehow things happen overnight on the web--since we are accustomed to everything moving faster. The same tried and true tenets of business still hold strong.

Actually I am not going after my passion, but going after getting paid to exist as myself. It's not easy. Celes is great for making your think about ways to notice that you can use your passion to live your own life and do whatever you want. She's proof and there is nothing better than that. I'm working on helping people start an unconventional photography home business - All the while, I am trying to start my own. I word for the biggest bank in Canada and it's been growing quickly in the USA. I will follow in the footsteps of many of the people commenting here and the deadline is May 2010 for me. I will have to write this topic down to revisit in time. Darren, also love how you give the opportunity for people to guestpost. I am trying to go after my passion.
