\ndingy room in my basement. Despite my best attempts, it still
\nlooks like a dingy room in my basement. Plan B: I bought a green
\nscreen and lights on Amazon. I’d love to hear your tips<\/a> on
\nchoosing backgrounds that work best with green screen videos.<\/p>\n
\n1. Use Pinterest as a Blog Magnet
\n======================================<\/p>\n
\nblog from my Pinterest board on “50 Tips on Free Publicity” at
\n http:\/\/pinterest.com\/publicityhound\/50-tips-for-free-publicity\/<\/a><\/p>\n
\nboard. Then I hover my cursor over the image and click on “Edit.”
\nIn the link window, I type or paste the link that leads people
\nback to the blog post where I’ve written more on that tip, and
\nthen “Save Pin.” This is a two-step process and I don’t know of
\nany shortcuts.<\/p>\n
\nMastermind coach, has forced me to blog nearly every day. Almost
\n1,100 people are following the board.<\/p>\n
\n2. Bloggers: Your PR Ambassadors

\n4. Hound Joke of the Week
\n====================================<\/p>\n
\nexcerpt from the book “Alfred Hitchcock” A Life in Darkness and
\nLight” that explains how Hitchcock directed Sean Connery on the
\nset of Marnie:<\/p>\n
\n‘adjustments and suggestions’ (Connery’s words) in the rhythm of
\nscenes–which, according to one Connery biographer, largely
\nconsisted of advising the actor to shut his mouth while listening
\nfor his cues, and inserting ‘dog’s feet’ into his lengthier
\nspeeches.<\/p>\n
