Hi Andrew, it takes time, just hang in there.  As far as the free advertsing pages, you can keep trying those but they don't work very well.  What I suggest is to try and do some ezine advertising when you get a little extra money.  Also you can try multiple income streams as I do and advertise in those places.  I built a samll one page website where I do some of that advertising and I use ezines to promote.

Geneoloy list definetly work, but you will be spending many hours on the phone and you need to be sure that they are very good list.
