\nwhere you can really flaunt your expertise.<\/p>\n
\nsoon as I created my Quora account last week, my email inbox was
\ninundated with messages saying people are following me on Quora.
\nThat says something about the popularity of the site.<\/p>\n
\nanswers created, edited and organized by everyone who uses it.
\nQuora wants each question page to become the best possible
\nresource for someone who wants to know about the question.<\/p>\n
\nwith this site. It’s quickly gaining considerable traffic,
\ntraciton and attention. It’s used by journalists and boggers as a
\nresearch tool. If they’re looking for an expert on your topic,
\nand they like your answer to a certain questions, they might use
\nyou as a source. I give four more reasons to use Quoara and you
\ncan read them at my blog at http:\/\/publicityhound.net\/?p=7658<\/p>\n
\n2. My Facebook Fan Page is Back!
\n======================================<\/p>\n
\na few months ago, along with my more than 2,500 fans.<\/p>\n
\nabout my dilemma when somebody retweeted me. He emailed me, asked
\nme to make him administrator of my Fan Page, and within a few
\nhours, he solved the problem and brought the page back to life.<\/p>\n
\nwrite an article about what you can if this happens to you. Do a
\nGoogle search for “Facebook Fan Page disappeared” and you’ll see
\na long list of frustrated, angry people, many of whom still
\nhaven’t found their pages.<\/p>\n
\nme at JStewart@PublicityHound.com<\/a>. And then check out Dave’s blog
\nat http:\/\/www.likeable.com\/blog\/<\/a><\/p>\n
\nsocial media and not seeing a return on their investment. My
\nstory is one of the best reasons why I actively participate in,
\nand teach, social media.<\/p>\n

\nabout publicity, promotion or social media.<\/p>\n
\n3. Raise Your Klout Score
\n=====================================<\/p>\n
\nabove, I was fascinated by the post “All About Klout! 5 Ways to
\nRaise your Klout Score” at

\nyour influence on social media sites. Go to http:\/\/www.Klout.com<\/a>
\nand type your Twitter handle. Within seconds, Klout will return
\nyour influence score. You can see on a small illustration which
\nof four areas you need improvement.<\/p>\n
\ncompetitors.<\/p>\n
\nThe tips at the Likeable.com blog are even better than the tips
\nKlout gives at its own blog.<\/p>\n
\nfrom folks on Quora.<\/p>\n
\n4. Heads-Up for Event Publicity

\nclub’s day-long gardening seminar, planned for Feb. 26. We didn’t
\nfinish the registration page at our website until the end of
\nDecember which seemed like enough time–a full two months before
\nthe event. But to get the event listed in several local
\nmagazines, the page should have been completed by Dec. 1, the
\ndeadline for inclusion in the Feb. issue.<\/p>\n
