    This Week in the Hound House:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"twins-birthday2\"Here’s Great Aunt Joan with twins Lilly<\/strong> and Alena<\/strong> before their big birthday party on Saturday, wearing their pastel-colored tutus made of voile and ribbons. Mom baked two gorgeous cakes with hand-piped pink roses. The babies stripped down to their diapers and we sang “Happy Birthday.” Then each baby attacked a cake with her bare hands, and icing went flying. After the 10-minute “cake mash,” Mom deposited them into the bathtub and hosed them down. (If these were my kids, we would have gone to Chuck E. Cheese.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    1. Share Your Blog with Facebook Groups<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    From fashion and beauty to sports and gaming, thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of Facebook<\/strong> users gather in special interest groups to learn more about their hobby, passion or business topic.<\/p>\n

    Are you among them?<\/p>\n

    Groups can be ideal for sharing your blog posts as long as you’re careful to share other people’s content more than you share your own.<\/p>\n

    Katie Harrington<\/strong> of WildeWords.ie recommends you join the top five Facebook groups devoted to your topic. Spend time watching the conversations before you start posting because different groups have different rules. Some designate a specific thread for blog posts. Others allow only certain topics. Some groups require admin approval.<\/p>\n

    To do: Read her article “5 ways to get 1,000 views of your next post.”<\/a><\/p>\n

    2. It’s Time for Your Predictions<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Grab your crystal ball and predict what 2017 will look like for your industry.<\/p>\n

    How will the new year be affected by President-elect Donald Trump, a GOP-controlled legislature, the stock market, higher interest rates, technological advances or social media?<\/p>\n

    Create your own content that explains your predictions, or pitch the story to journalists who cover your industry or as a guest blog post. You can even present it as a tips list.<\/p>\n

    To do: Follow my step-by-instructions on “How to Use a Tips List to Promote Absolutely Anything.”<\/a><\/strong> It comes with a giant bonus package that includes 3 tips lists you can use as a template.<\/p>\n

    When it comes to skills you need for publicity, copywriting is right up there, near the top of The Publicity Hound’s priority list.<\/p>\n

    Knowing how to write convincing copy means you can encourage people, with the same phrases and techniques other top copywriters use, to do exactly<\/strong> what you want them to do. That means prompting a journalist to call you for an interview. Or writing copy on your Amazon product page that’s so compelling, customers whip out their credit cards with little prodding.<\/p>\n

    One copywriting trick uses the Zeigarnik Principle<\/strong>, named after Bluma Zeigarnik<\/strong>, the Russian psychiatrist who concluded that the human mind cannot stand unfulfilled curiosity.<\/p>\n

    “If you think you’re safe with expensive home security systems, just wait until you learn what a Cleveland woman found in her basement two days after installing an alarm system…News at 11…\u201d<\/p>\n

    It’s one of five techniques and more than 30 tips that Tom Antion<\/strong> teaches in his free training “Copywriting 901: The Fast Track to Writing Words That SELL.” Writing sales copy does NOT require writing talent because it’s a very different type of writing than what you’re use to. It does require discipline. I took his course twice.<\/p>\n

    To do: During this slow holiday week, set aside 90 minutes to watch the free training<\/a> using this affiliate link.<\/p>\n
