\nThis Week in the Hound House:<\/strong><\/p>\n
My family can’t agree on what they want to do when they visit me in a few weeks. I think the guys will end up doing the Miller and Sprecher brewery tours in Milwaukee. The girls will cruise down the Milwaukee River and onto Lake Michigan aboard the Edelweiss, a fun tour boat. I have a special surprise for them, too, but I can’t mention it here because they peek at this newsletter. I’ll be sure to fill you in after they leave. It’s pure Wisconsin and if you visit here, it’s worth a side trip.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
1. Build a Raving Fan Base<\/h3>\n
Setting up a business online is the easy part.<\/p>\n
Attracting thousands of fans and giving them time to know, like and trust you takes patience and perseverance.<\/p>\n
I know. I\u2019ve been doing this for almost 20 years.<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s always a temptation to sell, sell, sell right out of the gate. That\u2019s why I watch people like Danny Iny of Firepole Marketing. He’s the guy I’ve been emailing you about the last few days.<\/p>\n
Danny has built a very successful business online in only a few years. In just one year, his revenue jumped from $237,000 to $680,000. He did it by laser-focusing on his target audience, and giving away mountains of high-value content at his website and in the dozens of killer guest posts he has written for popular, high-traffic blogs.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, he\u2019s going to share more content during a free training session on how to build a raving fan base that buys more than $250,000 of your stuff\u2026per year. It\u2019s called\u00a0\u201cPassionate, Purposeful and Prosperous…This Year!\u201d<\/a> and it\u2019s at 1 p.m. Eastern Time (10 a.m. Pacific). That’s Wednesday, Sept. 10.<\/p>\n
Register for the free online workshop<\/a>\u00a0and receive three free gifts. You’ll get a follow-along workbook you can use during the workshop to get the most out of the training. You’ll also get a handy flow chart so you can see how to build your business, and a list of technology tools so you know exactly what to use.<\/p>\n

2. 72 New Magazine Titles<\/h3>\n
You’d never guess the magazine industry is hurting based on the 72 new titles during August.<\/p>\n
Twenty will be published regularly and include Cyclocross, Mega Truck, At Home and Intercourse (it’s not what you think). The other 52 titles are all special editions.<\/p>\n
You can see them all courtesy of Samir Husni, aka Mr. Magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n
I’ve been urging you create a tips lists (5 Tips on How to…) and submit them to magazines. Editors love publishing these short items that fill odd-size holes on a page.<\/p>\n
Learn how to milk every tips list for all it’s worth when you grab the webinar replay of\u00a0“17 Ways to Use a Tips List to Make It More Powerful Than Ever.”<\/a> It comes with a time-saving bonus package that includes 3 templates for tips lists so you don’t have to start from scratch.<\/p>\n
3. Free Wikimedia Images<\/h3>\n
Wikimedia Commons celebrates its 10th anniversary with a reminder that it has more than 22 million images ready for you to use.<\/p>\n
It’s the world\u2019s largest freely licensed educational media repository.<\/a><\/p>\n
Learn more about the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest<\/a>. Submit your photos until the end of September.<\/p>\n
You can find the\u00a0complete collection of images,<\/a> grouped by topic.<\/p>\n
4. Hound Video of the Week<\/h3>\n
Thanks to Publicity Hound Cathy McLane of Minneapolis, Minn., for\u00a0“Run, Walter, Run!”<\/a> This Labrador, once unleashed, makes a wild dash for the water. You’ll feel like you’re riding on his back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
