This Week in the Hound House:<\/p>\n
I’m sick of tending to my mostly scorched perennial gardens. Just
\ngive me a pumpkin to carve.<\/p>\n
======================================
\n1. LinkedIn’s Money-back Guarantee
\n======================================<\/p>\n
Who doesn’t like a money-back guarantee?<\/p>\n
If you’re on LinkedIn, that’s exactly what you get when you try to
\nconnect with journalists by using a little-known tool.<\/p>\n
Without the tool, you can join groups they are in, assuming that
\nthe Group is a good fit for you, too. One of the most valuable
\nfeatures of Groups is that you can communicate with the entire
\ngroup through a status update, or with individual members who are
\nnot connected to you.<\/p>\n
With me so far?<\/p>\n
Here’s where the tool comes in. If you want to connect with a
\njournalist and offer her story ideas and sources within the
\nindustry she covers, but she isn’t in any groups you’re in and she
\nisn’t connected to you, you can spend a few bucks to get her
\nattention without spamming.<\/p>\n
If she doesn’t respond, you get your money back.<\/p>\n
Wayne Breitbarth will explain how to do this, and demonstrate
\nanother fabulous LinkedIn tool he uses to get booked on radio
\nshows, when he’s my guest during the webinar from 3 to 4:15 p.m.
\nEastern Time on Thursday, Aug. 30, on “4 Secret LinkedIn Power
\nTools to Connect with Journalists and Put Money in Your Pocket.”<\/p>\n

\n2. Free Social Media Call Monday
\n=====================================<\/p>\n
\nto create a social media strategy, and told you how to grab the
\nbonuses and cool software he’s giving away, several Publicity
\nHounds said they either missed some of the videos or didn’t have
\ntime to watch them all, and asked if I’d summarize the key points.<\/p>\n

\nwebinar from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, Aug. 27.<\/p>\n

\ntime having “conversations” that are unproductive and unprofitable.
\nHe’ll explain his three solutions.<\/p>\n
\noffering you, for free, to attract many “followers” that convert
