1. I will no longer send out press releases. Instead I will send out "news" releases and do so at least once a week.
2. I will commit to take the time to personalize my pitches with several different versions of the news releases to the niche media I am sending it to.
3. I will make a habit out of not pitching to bloggers, but will converse with them instead.
4. I will develop PR campaigns that tell a story with an innovative and/or compelling angle.
5. I will utilize social networking and the blogosphere with transparency, not as just another venue for press.
6. I will commit to being an active listener to my client, to the consumer, and throughout web 2.0. Listening leads to questions, questions lead to conversations, conversations develop relationships.
7. I will commit to making 20 phone calls per day.
8. I will commit to setting micro-goals that are achievable on a weekly basis so that I don't sabotage my motivation to succeed.
9. I will focus on quality exposure for my client instead of quantity.
