If I'm wanting publicity for my website business, say, is it enough to point out it's run by a local woman? The website itself isn't locally oriented in any way.

Another thing I've been wondering about is playing up my "disability angle". I'm torn about whether this is a good idea, but it seems that "local bedridden woman can't even go outside to see her garden, but earns money selling tshirtss all over the world" is much more newsworthy than "local woman sells tshirts on website". Am I right about that, and what would the negatives be of putting in the disability stuff?

What paid off for us was persistence…we sent the PR, followed up with an email, then followed up with a phone call. Once we had a relationship with the local media we found it much easier to get the published.

Great article,
