The fastest way is start your own company and name yourself CEO.


Ha, my first thought.

And actually what I did when I formed my first company. I had two plastic cards designed, one for me as "CEO" and another as a press pass with me as "Chief Editor", which actually got me into some expos!

Blogs were new and people didn't know how to treat these "online magazines" and "journalists".

I even had people from big newspapers contact me with requests to use my online comments in their articles. Good times.

So embarrassing to remember, but I had a lot of fun.

Biggest mistake ever was to not find partners asap.


i like your style. i use to do this at festivals. i would jump up on stage behind any band and pretend to be with the band. it worked. the following year i realized i could make an online magazine and become press, so i did and the next year i got in half price, press pass, and a table. wild ride


I’m an astronaut then.


Hey Jeff, didn't know you were on HN!


So funny that they didn't mention that option.


Probably even easier than that since it seems like half the people getting involved in MLM scheme suddenly title themselves CEO.
