    Well said… persistence is key, from everything to finding ideas through the writing and rewriting and on marketing.

    Just read my guest post from the other day for a glimpse at my persistence. Dog with a bone? Try Killer Attack Dog Taking Down Its Next Victim.

    I bought Jake's book – The Science, Art and Voodoo of Freelance Pricing and Getting Paid – because I know I need to figure out how to negotiate. (Hey, I got a $2 item for $1.50 at a garage sale a couple weeks ago…my negotiation skills are already improving.)

    Building relationships has really helped my business. Just this week I reached out to a university editor and asked if she would e-introduce me to one of her colleagues, and she did. Nothing has come of it yet, but yesterday she passed on another project to me from outside the university because she knew I was looking for this type of work. It pays off to get to know people and tell them what you do!

    Amen, Anne.

    Paula, I need you to help me negotiate my next car deal. LOL

    Ashley, good for you for asking! And for following up — that's key!
