• Create a new video channel and videos that feature the content from your new iBook and promote it on Youtube.com, Vimeo.com and snippets on Instagram.com and Vine.com
• Set up a weekly newsletter to blast out to your target audience with video snippets you have created on a handy video app like (Animoto.com) and a review of a chapter from your book – promote the links on social media
• Throw several themed “Being Social” parties in a park and invite all the dog owners in your neighborhood to bring their dogs in costume (Easter, July 4th, Halloween, Christmas – according to the season) to celebrate the season and share the latest in dog news –  promote your local food pantry and collect canned goods from the dog owners
• Start speaking at the local Rotary and Chambers to share your expertise and make new contacts for business – talk about your dog parties and get a buzz going that will attract the media to your parties and eventually to your business
