\n1. Opportunity for Experts
\n======================================<\/p>\n
This week, I became one of the nine PR experts on a new question
\nand answer website called 1Q9A.<\/p>\n
If you’re a true expert in your field, and not just someone who
\nclaims to be one, you’d be smart to jump on this, too.<\/p>\n
1Q9A covers 90 different professional fields, each with a panel
\nof up to nine experts. Once a week, one question per field is
\nselected from the public for each of the category experts to give

You can hear my answers along with some of the PR industry’s top
\nprofessionals every Wednesday at

\nsubscribe to new answer alerts or or submit your own question.<\/p>\n

\nnever had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures
\noff the walls. I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the
\nnight for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog

\nstay here, too.”<\/p>\n
