Hello Ramon:

There are always freelance writers in the area. Look one of them up and approach them about the possibility of doing an article. Clearly, you need to have something to say and work that they can photograph, etc. I have been in several articles, but never the sole focus. I plan on moving in the next couple of months and will try for one or two sole focus articles when I get to my new place.

As for business cards, here is mine:

I went for a full color coated card with as much pizzaz as I could get. People need something to remember you by, so my advice is to spend a little more on your card. I did mine at a place called Sir Speedy who farmed it out to a large printer out of state. I paid about $150 for 2000 cards which is not too bad for full color.

Hope that helps!
