Fitness Management

Hi,

Today I have a new resource to tell you about that will stop you
from making the common start-up mistake that KILLS many new
websites...

It's called the "Ebusiness Start-Up Handbook," and it's a
must-read for anyone who wants to build a profitable long-term
ebusiness on a solid foundation.

Download it, and you'll avoid wasting massive amounts of time and
money getting your new business started.

What I like most about this Handbook is that it uses simple
language and lots of examples and graphics to clearly explain the
step-by-step process you need to follow to find a lucrative
online market with minimal competition.

Start your website *without* doing this critical groundwork first,
and prepare for a long and costly battle...

You'll struggle to attract visitors, to get ranked in the search
engines, and to convert the few visitors you do get into buyers.

Worse, you could find yourself going head to head with the
Internet's toughest -- and most well-funded -- competitors, like
Amazon.com and eBay.

The "Ebusiness Start-Up Handbook" was produced by the experts at
the Internet Marketing Center, who have generated over $100
million in sales online, so you know you can trust their advice.

I highly recommend you take the first step toward financial
independence by downloading this Handbook right away. You'll be
giving your new website its best chance of success.

The fitness marketing industry is ultra competitive. If you don't know what you're doing, then you're probably wasting your time and money. Here are some fitness marketing tips that I've used effectively over the last 10 years.

Right now, it's about 1:30 on a week day, and I just started work. Today's workload consists of about twenty minutes of emails, which I just finished. I've also helped a coaching client boost the conversions on her website - before, she was getting about one percent of visitors into her program. Now, with the improvements we made, we should be looking at more like five to ten percent. That took about half an hour.
Now, I'm writing this post and I'll load it up into my email management system. Then, I'll write an article and make a couple of marketing videos, and go through the to-do list for this month. I need to prioritize things to focus on that critical five percent. That's most helping my clients get the most out of their personal training businesses. I'll work on a couple of product launches coming out in the next few months, too. I expect to be done by about 5:30!

The reason I can be so productive in such a short amount of time is because I have a great personal assistant and my wife helps with accounting and administrative stuff. It's vital to have trustworthy people around you. It's important to remember to delegate as much as you can afford to in order to keep your business going.

I currently have about 10 streams of income and I usually don't work more than part time. That's what Internet marketing can offer if you do it right. But if I had to start all over from scratch, what fitness marketing strategies would I use?

1. Set specific goals, have a plan to reach them, and make a timeline.

2. Make sure you always train in a great environment.

3. Boot camps and group training are wonderful.

4. Read blogs with plenty of good information as much as you can.

5. Focus on helping people. Start helping a few of them for free, and have them pay with referrals.

6. Get into the right head space by reading.

7. Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People." Treat everyone the way the book suggests and you'll do a lot better.

8. Take a good survey of your market and learn just what they want. Sell them that, and give them what they need, too, but sneak it in.

9. Get a huge stockpile of real before and after pictures.

10. Make sure you have a well optimized, direct response "greased slide" sales site.

11. Use your main keywords as the anchor text for the right pages and send lots of links to your site.

12. Try dominating organic Google searches with double listings for every keyword phrase. Use every reasonable location for your area.

13. Make sure you get listed at the top in Google locally. Have lots of good reviews.

14. Put up ten to twelve well-written Craigslist ads every day. Use a morning and evening rotation and good direct response writing.

15. Use Facebook ads, too. Make sure you track them carefully and tweak them for the highest profit ratio.

16. Start getting better at your local strategy for Google Adwords. Pay as little per click as you can, but don't let targeted traffic numbers drop.

17. Set up good referral systems. 18. Have retentions systems in place.

19. Document as many aspects of your business as you can. Delegate using that documentation.

20. Network with the people you know you can create good relationships with.

I honestly hope those fitness marketing tips help you and provide you with a better understanding of fitness marketing. Hard work is important, but if you can learn to direct your energy in the most productive manner, then you're better off.
