Casual Articles - To Pitch or Release
The Franchise RelationshipIn theory, the franchise relationship is a symbiotic relationship, such as a marriage, or a partnership. However, as often happens, there is a significant gap between theory and practice. What should be well understood is that the goal of the franchisor is the same as any other business entity: maximize profits. Moreover, we live in an era of immediate gratification; therefore, in many business entities long-term plan
Publicists have long understood the value of the pitch and in fact, the pitch is the number one reason publicists are paid the big bucks. Do they have something you do
Copyright 2006 Richard GradyRecently, I wrote about how you need to put in a fair amount of hard work before your online business becomes successful - there is no such thing as an 'overnight success'.Despite this, setting up and running an Internet business is a hundred times easier today than it was, say, five years ago. There are just so many more services and products available to assist you and I got to wondering how much easier things could
For the very same reason that the personal approach works so well on the Internet with consumers is the same reason it works well with editors and producers. Press releases are without a doubt the easier route. Simply write and click send then sit back and hope someone with a valuable title will notice. The hard truth is that getting a press release noticed is becoming more and more of a challenge. Unless you happen to like standing in a very long line and hoping an editor will dig through a very deep slush pile to notice your news, may I suggest a more direct, successful approach to garnering press space? The pitch.
The pitch requires a little more work, research, and preparation but also nets better results. The pitch is really only a verbal press release. If you can get the phone date, you have a better chance of being heard, of personalizing the story, and therefore getting the much coveted time in the media spotlight.

The harsh reality is that most people who visit your web site for the first time won’t buy anything at all. Even if they do stick around, it usually takes a few visits or contacts for anything to happen.They need to get to know you. They need to get to know your product or service. And this can take time, especially if a large exchange of money is involved.To get them to return, you need to get those visitors to volunteer their contact in

If you don't have strong writing skills, or just don't have the time to write, but you have a message to convey in writing, hiring a ghost writer or ghost writers may be your best alternative. While prices vary among ghost writers, selecting one because the rate is lowest is not generally a good idea.The price ghost writers demand for their writing services are generally an indicator of their expertise. You should also look for ghost wr

You are keen to buy a web site business and you have seen lots of them for sale – particularly on auction sites. So how do you ensure that what you buying is really an established site? Here is your check list:1) Check that the domain name belongs to the owner and has been established for a long time. Web sites take a long time to become established. A new domain just won’t have had time to build up links and traffic.2) Check that the domain c

Publicists have long understood the value of the pitch and in fact, the pitch is the number one reason publicists are paid the big bucks. Do they have something you do not have? No. It's a tool anyone can learn to hone. Will you mess up a few pitches? Yes, without a doubt just the same way you messed up a few press releases. The difference is that you didn't hear about it with your press release, which in reality did not help you. It is a tool that will require constant improvement but the rewards and both personal and professional.
So what does a pitch consist of? A pitch contains all the same information that a press release requires but you present it in a less formal way, over the telephone, directly to the editor or producers. It's important that you take the time to prepare your pitch and be able to discuss it without reading it. Research the publications, radio shows, or television spots to be sure that your particular story will fit in with their theme and then either write, email, or call for an appointment to present your story.
Not only does the pitch personalize your story and make you real for the editor or producer but you will also begin to build contacts within the media. These contacts will eventually become professional friends that will smooth the road to greater and greater media opportunities.
