Take Advantage of Influencers<br \/>\n==================================<\/p>\n<p>Find an A-list blogger to test your product and write about it<br \/>\nfor their blog, and your publicity campaign can be off to a<br \/>\nroaring start.<\/p>\n<p>Convince an influential author with a huge following to tweet<br \/>\nabout your book, and it can result in a glut of orders.<\/p>\n<p>But where do you find influential people? And how do you know the<br \/>\ndifference between somebody who&#8217;s popular and somebody who&#8217;s<br \/>\ntruly influential? An influential person is often in a position<br \/>\nto tell others what to do and actually convinces them to do it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll explain 11 places to find them during the five-webinar<br \/>\nseries that kicks off at 3 p.m. Eastern Time tomorrow&#8211;Tuesday,<br \/>\nApril 17&#8211;on &#8220;On Target Publicity: How to Find, Capture &amp; Convert<br \/>\nYour Target Market.&#8221; Influencers, by the way, should be part of<br \/>\nEVERY Publicity Hound&#8217;s target market.<\/p>\n<p>If you register, you&#8217;ll be able to watch me use your own target<br \/>\nmarket(s) as examples throughout the webinar series.<\/p>\n<p>Want a taste?

Get in Touch with Ellen<br \/>\n================================<\/p>\n<p>Oprah&#8217;s new show on cable is tanking, and the news is equally<br \/>\ngrim for O Magazine. In the first quarter of this year,<br \/>\nadvertising pages were down a whopping 24 percent. O was the<br \/>\nbiggest loser among women&#8217;s magazines.<\/p>\n<p>Enter &#8220;Ellen&#8221; whose website has 20 ways you can get onto her<br \/>\nshow. Most are of the silly &#8220;send us pics of your misspelled tattoos&#8221;<br \/>\nvariety.
