A few observations:
 
[B]1 - Private freerolls FTW.[/B]  Most of the open-field freerolls that sites offer have terrible structures where you've gotta run like god for five hours straight just to make two bucks.  Private freerolls (like the Cardschat ones) typically have smaller fields and often have money added.  They're the ones where you've got the chance to cash for something like $20 or $50 (or maybe more) and actually have a shot at building a real bankroll.
 
[B]2 - It can take a really long time.[/B]  Like anything it's a function of volume: if you play eight hours a day, six days a week and you're a winning player to start with then obviously you'll see results a lot quicker.  But if you're a casual player it can take months or even years.
 
[B]3 - Stop playing MTTs.[/B]  MTTs are about as high-variance as you can get.  This is fine if you're rolled for them and obviously they provide you with a chance to make some serious money if you win them.  But if you're trying to grind your way up from nothing the variance will kill you.  You want low variance and a relatively constant, steady return on your minimal funds so stick to either ring games or SnGs.
 
[B]4 - Know your best games.[/B]  Kinda follows on from the previous one - know which games you're best at and stick to them.  If STTs are your thing and you win at them then stick to them.  Don't worry about how other people did it, just go with what works for you.
 
[B]5 - Be militant about BRM.[/B]  Goes without saying, I guess, but don't be tempted to take shots at games you're not rolled for or blow money when you're tilted and you know it.  Those are luxuries you can enjoy when the consequences aren't going back to zero and starting over.
