    This Week in the Hound House:
    \n<\/strong>
    \nI’m stashing away the $60 I made selling my castoffs on Friday and Saturday. Then I’m raising my right paw and swearing, “I will never again waste time and energy on a rummage sale.” Funniest item we sold: A hot dog toaster, with two slots for hot dogs and two slots for the bun. Item that provoked the most comments: a black rotary telephone from the 1950s. Lots of parents asked their kids if they knew what it was. Not one kid could identify it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    1. Find Email Addresses in Seconds<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    You have a newsy story idea to pitch to a blogger or journalist but you can’t find an email address.<\/p>\n

    Find it within seconds using Email Hunter, a nifty Chrome extension that will save you hours of time.<\/p>\n

    Let’s say you’ve added the extension and you want to pitch an idea for a guest blog post to Copyblogger. But you’re not sure who to contact.<\/p>\n

    Go to their website at Copyblogger.com. On the upper right of your screen, click on the little red icon you see above.<\/p>\n

    It will return a list of 11 email addresses. To the right of email address, you’ll see the number of sources with a drop-down arrow where you can click, and learn more information about that person before you pitch. This is the part I love the best. It helps you research the person you’re pitching.<\/p>\n

    You get 150 free searches a month which is plenty for most Publicity Hounds, or you can add a paid upgrade. This tools also works for newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations–anywhere you want exposure.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to Publicity Hound Joel Friedlander<\/strong> for this tip.<\/p>\n

    To do: Add Email Hunter to Chrome<\/a> and start hunting!<\/p>\n

    2. Amazon Success Toolkit<\/h3>\n

    \"CreateSpace<\/p>\n

    Why does Amazon, the world’s Number One online book retailer, make it so bloody difficult to understand how to sell and promote your books in their store?<\/p>\n

    I find the massive labyrinth so frustrating and daunting, that I’ve bailed out more than a few times. \u00a0And then there’s CreateSpace, Amazon’s print-on-demand division.<\/p>\n

    That’s why I was so excited when Joel Friedlander<\/strong> and Tracy Atkins<\/strong> asked me to review the Amazon Success Toolkit, a first-of-its-kind training package that walks you step by step through how to list your book on Amazon, CreateSpace, \u00a0Kindle Direct Publishing, AudioBook Creation Exchange, and Author Central.<\/p>\n

    They’re introducing it with a free call this Thursday, May 12, at 4 Eastern<\/strong>, on “Uploading Your Book to CreateSpace: The Step-by-step Amazon Success Toolkit Method.”<\/p>\n

    Knowing how to list your books corectly, and take advantage of all the bells and whistles, is the first step in generating free publicity.<\/p>\n

    To do: Register for the free call<\/a> and get one full hour of training and 30 minutes of Q&A. This is the product I’ve been waiting for, and I’m giving it four paws up–way up–and also promoting it as their affiliate.<\/p>\n

    3. Use a Quote to Paint a Picture<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    When AMC Entertainment merges with Carmike later this year, new CEO Adam Aron<\/strong> wants to appeal to millennials by letting them use their phones to text in certain sections of a theater, or in an entire theater set aside for texting.<\/p>\n

    I love the quote he offered when interviewd by Variety:<\/p>\n

    “When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear, ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow.'”<\/p>\n

    That’s a sound bite–perfect for TV or print interviews, press releases, media kits and any type of promotion. It’s the opposite of the boring B.S. quote from the CEO.<\/p>\n

    To do: The next time you quote yourself, use a quote that paints a paint a picture in the reader’s mind.<\/p>\n
