The soap cuts off their oxygen supply. Yesterday, I killed hundreds of these pests and claimed victory, only to return a few hours later and see a new batch of bugs napping. I&#8217;ll be back out there this afternoon with my weapon. See Item #2 below for another way I use dishwashing liquid.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">1.

But some of the most profitable images on Pinterest have nothing to do with pretty photos, cute emojis or eye-popping gravatars.<\/p>\n<p>You can make money with one juicy tip-o-graphic, a pinnable image that includes mostly words, like 10 tips excerpted from your book or speaker presentation, accompanied by a small image of your book cover or your logo.<\/p>\n<p>How does this make money for you?<\/p>\n<p>People click through on pins and repins at an astounding rate&#8211;anywhere from 2% to 25% click-through rate. That means they&#8217;re ready and willing to visit your sales page where they can buy your book or product or subscribe to your email list.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you have a boring topic, Pinterest is the Number One social networking site to be on if you want people to buy whatever you&#8217;re selling.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve teamed up with <strong>Daniel Hall<\/strong> and <strong>John Kremer<\/strong>, the masters of how to use Pinterest as a money machine. Their free training will be from <strong>4 to 6 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, April 26<\/strong>. This will be the most profitable two hours you&#8217;ll spend on training this year. And it&#8217;s free. One lucky attendee will get a social graphic created and posted to their Pinterest Board that has over 1,000 followers. But you must present to be eligible. You will learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How you can effectively use Pinterest even if you&#8217;re not a graphic artist and couldn&#8217;t design your way out of a wet paper bag.<\/li>\n<li>The graphic &#8220;hack&#8221; that practically forces people to notice your pin.<\/li>\n<li>The characteristics of the most shared info-graphics on Pinterest and how you can exploit them.<\/li>\n<li>How a tool-o-graphic was repinned more than 1.4 million times and drove more than 122,547 website visitors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>To do:<\/strong> Regardless of whether you&#8217;re a Pinterest newbie or a longtime user, register for the free training here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>#PinterestTip #Pinterest<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">2. These Power Tools Spark Creativity<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8437 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/tips\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/Creative-Slump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My friends and family make fun of me because I don&#8217;t own a dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p>Let them laugh. Nothing unblocks my creativity better than scraping gunk off the bottom of a casserole dish. When I need an idea for a new training program, a presentation or an article, I squirt green Palmolive into the sink, run the hot water, dig in and start scrubbing. This works almost every time.<\/p>\n<p>When I saw a HARO query recently from <strong>Ann Gynn<\/strong> who was looking for ideas on how to break a creative slump, I remembered the blog post I wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/blog\/how-a-sink-of-dirty-dishwater-sparks-my-creativity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how a sink of dirty dishwater sparks my creativity.<\/a> Indeed, scientific research shows that being in or close to water helps the creative juices flow.<\/p>\n<p>I responded immediately with a short reply and a link to that post. She must have loved the idea because she included my tip in her article, written for the Content Marketing Institute. I was careful to include the phrase &#8220;publicity expert&#8221; twice in my reply. It appeared twice in the article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To do:<\/strong> Read <a href=\"http:\/\/contentmarketinginstitute.com\/2018\/04\/27-ideas-break-creative-slump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;27 Ideas to Break Your Creative Slump.&#8221;<\/a> My tip is at the end.
