=====================================
\n1. Install Google’s +1 Button
\n=====================================<\/p>\n

When Google, the King of Search, gives Publicity Hounds an easy
\nway to let our websites and blogs stand out, we need to embrace
\nit with all four paws.<\/p>\n

The newest tool is the +1 button, shorthand for “this is pretty
\ncool” or “you should check this out.”<\/p>\n

It’s already popping up on websites and blogs, including my blog
\nat http:\/\/www.PublicityHound.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works.<\/p>\n

When you install the code that makes the button visible on your
\nown site, people who like your content can click on it and tell
\nGoogle and others that they’re recommending it. It’s Google’s
\nequivalent of Facebook’s Like button.<\/p>\n

But here’s the really powerful part. When you recommend somebody
\nelse’s content, your photo shows up when that person’s website is
\nlisted in Google’s search results. Your photo will show up only
\nif you already have a Google Profile.<\/p>\n

Do these four things today:<\/p>\n

–If you don’t have a Google Profile, create one at
\n https:\/\/Profiles.Google.com<\/a><\/p>\n

–Read more about the Google +1 button. The FAQs are at
\n http:\/\/www.google.com\/support\/webmasters\/bin\/answer.py?answer=
\n1140194<\/a>. You can find a video and a helpful tutorial from
\nFrancisco Rosales at the SocialMouths blog at
\n http:\/\/socialmouths.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/02\/the-google-plus-1-button\/<\/a><\/p>\n

–Install the button at your website and blog. Or save yourself
\nthe headache and have your webmaster do it for you.<\/p>\n

–Start recommending content you see elsewhere by clicking on the
\n+1 button.<\/p>\n

It’s too early to tell how successful the button will be, but
\nbecause this is from Google, you still ought to try it.<\/p>\n

=====================================
\n2. Inventory Closeout
\n=====================================<\/p>\n

I’m removing 20 products from my invbentory, and this is your
\nchance to grab ’em before they’re gone.<\/p>\n

They include CDs, electronic transcripts and tips booklets. CD
\nand transcripts, regularly $39.95, are only $5 each, plus
\nshipping. Tips booklets, regularly $5 each, are $1.35, and
\ninclude shipping.<\/p>\n

Even though many of the products are out of date, all of them
\ninclude valuable publicity tips. You’d be crazy not to at least
\nlook at the list of titles:
\n http:\/\/publicityhound.com\/publicity-products\/inventorycloseout.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

When the CDs are gone, they’re gone, and we aren’t reordering.<\/p>\n

=====================================
\n3. Facebook & Twitter Training
\n=====================================<\/p>\n

You responded to last week’s call for training topics and by an
\noverwhelming majority, Publicity Hounds want how-to tips on
\nFacebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n

Mari Smith, the world’s Number One expert on Facebook, will be my
\nguest expert during a webinar at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on
\nWednesday, June 29, on how to pull fans to your Faceboook Page,
\nconvince them to interact, and keep them coming back for more.<\/p>\n

“How do I get more Facebook fans?” was your Number One question,
\nand there’s nobody better than Mari to teach you. You can start
\nregistering next week.<\/p>\n

Many Publicity Hounds still aren’t on Twitter. If you are, you
\nmay not know how to use it to build influence, attract a targeted
\ngroup of followers, and sell more products and services.<\/p>\n

I’ll be hosting a webinar for beginning and intermediate Twitter
\nusers in early July.<\/p>\n

If you have nagging questions about Facebook or Twitter, even if
\nyou’re not sure if you’ll attend the webinar, email me at
\n JStewart@PublicityHound.com and I’ll add it to the training.<\/p>\n

======================================
\n4. Write a Book in 90 Days
\n======================================<\/p>\n

Many of my friends have written books the hard way, so I\u2019ve heard
\none sob story after another about how long it takes.<\/p>\n

One author I know spent four years writing her book, and another
\nfrustrating year rewriting, proofreading and doing all the other
\nlittle things associated with finally getting it onto the shelves
\nin bookstores.<\/p>\n

If this sounds like you, or if you want to write a book and avoid
\nthese hassles, help is on the way.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re invited to a free webinar or telephone seminar on
\nThursday, June 16, with host Steve Harrison who will interview
\nAnn McIndoo. Ann has developed a unique system for writing a
\nquality non-fiction book in 90 days.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m promoting this call as a compensated affiliate because far
\ntoo many authors spend far too much time producing books that, in
\nmany cases, don\u2019t even sell. Ann\u2019s system works best for authors
\nwho have written non-fiction books, particularly how-to,
\nleadership, business, self-help, autobiography, etc. It doesn\u2019t
\nwork very well for children\u2019s books, novels or poetry.<\/p>\n

Discover the speed writing system she\u2019s used to help 268 authors
\nget their books done quickly. Register at
\n http:\/\/www.freeauthortraining.com\/call\/?10011<\/a><\/p>\n

=====================================
\n5. Help This Hound, Again
\n=====================================<\/p>\n

I love it when you help other Hounds with their publicity and
\nmarketing dilemmas.<\/p>\n

But my tail really wags when the Hound asking for help uses one
\nof your ideas.<\/p>\n

That’s what Timothy Nishimoto did when, several months ago, he
\nasked for help on how to emphasize food at this wine bar in
\nPortland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

Publicity Hound Michael LaRocca suggested Tim change the name of
\nthe restaurant, and Tim likes the idea. He wants to sponsor a
\ncontest asking people to help name the restaurant.<\/p>\n

But he’s confused about how to create the buzz in the community
\nwhile also coordinating PR. I’ve published his entire question at
\nmy blog, and we’re hoping you can help.<\/p>\n

Post your best ideas and helpful advice in the comments section
