Wishing you more success and less stress in 2009!

Hope you’re having a great week! I’m just jotting down a quick note to let you know that All About Fastpitch finally has an affiliate program set up. Now you can easily refer your friends to AAF with the “copy and paste” links that are provided to you in the new affiliate center.

I was actually surprised to see people signing up already and I haven’t even said anything about it yet. If you’d like more information on how to sign up (for free) and learn how it all works, Click Here to visit our Affiliate Sign-Up Page.

I also have another exciting announcement which I’m planning to make next week (it’ll also be a unique opportunity for a select group of coaches). However, this opportunity will only be announced to our members. If you haven’t already signed up for the Free Fastpitch Membership here at AAF, click here to join now. Then keep your eyes on your mailbox for more information on this rare opportunity. Again, it won’t cost you a dime. Just make sure you’re on our mailing list if you’re interested.

I’ve been working on the site recently and have been doing a few updates. It seems that in the server crash, something happen to my Fastpitch Interview page. That link wasn’t working so I re-did the whole page and it is now back up and running.

Also, we have secured our final Resident Expert. He was actually our Guest Expert for February’s Column, but has accepted the final spot we had left to become a permanent feature on our column. The new Resident Expert is Coach Jerrad Hardin of ChampionshipFastpitch.com. Welcome Coach Hardin!

One more thing, if you haven’t noticed yet, there is a new article up: 5 Things Coaches Don’t Want to Hear. Go check it out on our Articles Page.

There are a few more updates to come and I will announce them in our newsletter. If you haven’t signed up as a Fastpitch Member yet to receive the newsletter, but would like to receive updates and additional tips, please CLICK HERE to sign up.

I hope you had a great weekend ~ wishing you a wonderful week this week.
