This Week in The Hound House:
Bogie and I love Muttland Meadows dog park. On our first visit,
we met an adorable little French poodle named–I swear I’m not
making this up–Humphrey Bogart.

1. Why You Make Me Grateful
======================================
This Thanksgiving, I’m thinking of all the reasons why I’m one of
the luckiest and most grateful Publicity Hounds on the planet:
–You share your best tips, resources and success stories for
this newsletter.
–You’re constantly teaching me new things. I love your “Joan,
did you know that…” emails.
–You keep me on my toes and let me know when I screw up.
–You comment at my blog and on the other social media sites, and
share YOUR best tips there.
–You pass along this newsletter to your friends and business
associates.
–You send hysterical dog jokes, quotes and videos. (Keep ’em
coming.)
That’s just the short list. Thank you for being part of my
community. Have a great Thanksgiving, and keep the four-legged
hounds away from those turkey bones.

2. Host Your Own Webinars
=====================================
Hosting webinars has become such an integral part of my business
that I hope you’ll consider making them an important part of
yours too, especially if you’re an expert in a subject and your
followers look to you for help.
I was scared to death when I started hosting them. What if I
click on the wrong button? What if people can’t see my screen?
What if my PowerPoint slides won’t advance? What if my mind goes
blank during the call?
All of that has happened to me, and it’s all part of the learning
curve. But you can avoid a lot of the mistakes I made and learn
all about webinars so you can hit the ground running and have a
new revenue stream even before new year begins.
Join me for a two-part webinar series from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Eastern
Time on Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 28 and 29, when I present
“How to Host Webinars And Sell Them as Profitable Products.”
You’ll learn tips for creating the registration page, and the
product, using 1ShoppingCart and your own website platform,
although you can use any cart you wish. You’ll also learn how to
use GotoWebinar, the best webinar platform for many reasons.
If the time is inconvenient, sign up anyway because you’ll get
the replay, the handouts and all the bonuses within 72 hours
after the second call.
Important: If you register, you must “save your seat” twice in
GotoWebinar so you can attend both sessions. Full instructions
are on the thank-you page.
The first 20 Hounds who act quickly can save $10 on registration
by typing the word “WEBINAR” (NO QUOTES) in the coupon code
box and hit apply and then recalculate.

3. Small Business Saturday
====================================
If you own a small business and you’re doing something really
special to celebrate Small Business Saturday this week, on Nov.
24, call your local newspapers and TV stations and let them know.
This special holiday that encourages people to shop at local
businesses offers opportunities galore for publicity and
promotion. I’ve listed my best ideas at my blog at
http://publicityhound.net/?p=13348. Add your own in the Comments
section.

4. Hound Video of the Week
====================================
This one is titled “The World’s Most Funny Dog Video.” And it
just might be, with more than 26 million videos on YouTube.(If
you’re at work, turn down the speakers.)
