Hound Video of the Week<\/p>\n<p>This Week in the Hound House:<\/p>\n<p>I love long holiday weekends. But the short weeks that follow are<br \/>\na bear. Racing to play catch-up.<\/p>\n<p>======================================<br \/>\n1. When There&#8217;s No Time to Blog<br \/>\n======================================<\/p>\n<p>I started writing this newsletter three hours later than usual<br \/>\nthis morning because of a computer glitch and had almost no time<br \/>\nto blog.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s no excuse.<\/p>\n<p>I remembered a fascinating infographic I saw on Friday about 100<br \/>\nWords Every Expert Author Should Know. I even commented on it,<br \/>\nand I checked back during the day to see how other people had<br \/>\ncommented.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to share it with you at my own blog to show you how<br \/>\nquick and easy it is to use someone else&#8217;s infographic, with<br \/>\npermission, and crank out a blog post in less than 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/blog\/do-expert-authors-need-to-know-this-list-of-100-words\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can see my post, and the list of 100 words here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you missed Saturday&#8217;s newsletter, I linked to another blog<br \/>\npost I wrote in record time on <a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/blog\/5-more-things-you-didnt-know-about-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;5 more things you didn&#8217;t know<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/blog\/5-more-things-you-didnt-know-about-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> about me&#8221;<\/a> and it even includes a fun video for all you<br \/>\nMouseketeers.<\/p>\n<p>Both are examples of super-fast posts you can write off the top<br \/>\nof your head, with little or no research required.<\/p>\n<p>They are two of the 21 shortcuts I&#8217;ll share on Thursday when I<br \/>\npresent the webinar <a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/shop\/21-ideas-for-quick-dirty-blog-posts-when-you-dont-have-time-to-write-a-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;21 Ideas for Quick &amp; Dirty Blog Posts When<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/shop\/21-ideas-for-quick-dirty-blog-posts-when-you-dont-have-time-to-write-a-webinar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> You Don&#8217;t Have Time to Write&#8221;<\/a> from 3 to 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time on<br \/>\nThursday, May 30. In addition to all my other tricks,<br \/>\nworkarounds, quick fixes and time-savers, I&#8217;ll send you 10 fill-<br \/>\nin-the-blank templates that will let you fly through a post in<br \/>\nrecord time. Just use my format and cut and paste.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get the templates, as well as the video replay and all the<br \/>\nother bonuses, within 72 hours after the call.<\/p>\n<p>So if the time doesn&#8217;t work for you and you can&#8217;t attend live,<br \/>\nregister anyway and you won&#8217;t miss a thing.<\/p>\n<p>====================================<br \/>\n2. Old vs. New Media Relations<br \/>\n====================================<\/p>\n<p>One big mistake people make when self-promoting is lumping<br \/>\njournalists who work for traditional media outlets (newspapers,<br \/>\nmagazines, radio, TV) into one category, and online journalists<br \/>\nand bloggers into another.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t do that because many newspaper reporters, for example,<br \/>\nalso blog.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s one of the biggest changes in media outreach in the last<br \/>\ntwo decades. Another is the proliferation of &#8220;new media&#8221; like<br \/>\nbloggers, podcasters, ezine editors, LinkedIn Group moderators<br \/>\nand discussion forums. All have the ability to reach very narrow<br \/>\naudiences.<\/p>\n<p>When iAquire.com asked me to comment on the difference between<br \/>\nold and new media outreach, I said yes immediately. The responses<br \/>\nfrom the nine other publicity and PR experts they asked were<br \/>\nfascinating.<\/p>\n<p>Read them all, including the one-paragraph summary at the end, at<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210415182752\/http:\/\/www.iacquire.com\/blog\/ask-an-expert-online-media-relations\">&#8220;Ask an Expert: Online Media Relations 3.0&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>These major changes are all reflected in the fourth edition of my<br \/>\nebook, &#8220;How to be a Kick-butt Publicity Hound.&#8221; I&#8217;m launching<br \/>\nsoon, and I&#8217;ll offer Publicity Hounds a special deal on the book.<br \/>\nStay tuned for more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>====================================<br \/>\n3.
