You must fight for every pitch in your business. You are pitcher for your team. Don’t get lazy and think you know how to pitch out of a jam. Plan your pitches according to your market research or your advertising or business plan. Fight for each pitch. Fighting for every pitch is a metaphor for deliberate and proactive action in your business.

You can fight for every pitch in your business in many ways:  Place one more ezine ad  Write one more article  Find one more distributor for your article  Write a rebrandable ebook or an autoresponder course that promotes your products or programs  Contact a website owner about a join venture possibility  Comment in five forums, promoting your business in your signature  Contact old customers to see how they like and use your product, and how you can keep serving them

Fighting for every pitch means you see every marketing activity as a battle that bears on success or failure of your business. So go out and throw strikes!

Articles and product/service reviews Now, this is where a bit of hard work comes in. Your regular site visitors will view you as an authority on particular subjects, so why not write a review on a product or service you are advertising? This also supplies excellent content for search engine spiders to latch onto. We have attracted many visitors to our site using what I call "adarticles".

But there's a catch...... If you are going to use adarticle concept to promote products, you need to believe in what you write. Research product and company well. Contact company and let them know what you are doing and ask for further resources and assistance. Once you have created review, send them link - you may be suprised at response you get.

The information that you supply to your web site visitors will help them formulate a decision, so be honest in your sales copy. If you are successful in this promotion strategy, over time your reviews won't be seen as hype and bluster, but as a reliable source of information - everybody wins!

Email advertising as an affiliate marketing tool Direct promotion via email has boomed over recent years, but has brought with it mountains of spam. If you intend on using email as a method of advertising products and services, ensure you stand behind products you're promoting and make yourself available to answer any questions.

An effective promotion technique we have found is to combine email with adarticle strategy. In our ezine we occasionally put a summary of a product or service, just enough information to stir curiosity of our readers. The summary then contains a link to adarticle on our site. The benefit of this is not only that you have a good opportunity to promote product or service, but while visitors are on your site they may also look at other sections. The advertiser benefits through having highly targeted potential clients visit their site.
