How To Win a FREE Year of Coaching or One Year of The Market Annihilator

Hi, my name is Chuck I have been training now for a little over 2 years. I train at a small studio gym we don't have very many members there. I am competing with 5 other trainers there & struggling to get clients. check out my website & blog tell me what you think I need to do. Please help me I am really struggling now to even stay in business. I am wanting to start up a bootcamp this spring I hope it will kick off.
Thanks,
Chuck,

First of all your blog showed me many many things that helped me place my website on the first page in google

Everybody knows how important this is.

Your tips are specific and to the point and that's what makes me coming back to your site Chris and read again and again and again.

I need to learn more though. I need to learn what to do now to improve conversion ratio on my site and how to get more traffic.

It's now like sort of video game for me. It's exciting. It's like trying to "kill" as many enemies as possible. You know what I mean. I am not going to kill anybody ha ha… but every day I get up in the morning and check my email to see if there are more members on my site that I could help improve their fitness.

I know the power of the Internet and I need to learn more from you so I can help more people out there. I will teach them how to become fit and healthy. All I need is your mentorship. I would have bought all your products if I had enough money left after investing into website and all the technical stuff. Now my website needs kick in the butt to jump as high as possible and I am sure your program will do it. What would I do with ALL-THE-MONEY I will make? Man,,, I would finally take vacation and take my wife-to-be soon on the nice honeymoon. Then I would invest in the new online business.

I hope you will pick me because I really have a great product for people out there and I am ready to receive some 'love'. I hope this time in my turn.

Thanks Chris

I love all the information you have put out on this website. Through the past year and a half as a trainer I have been riding the roller coaster of success and failure and pretty much it sucked. I have done a lot of research online to figure out what to do to market myself and my personal training business. Over the last few months I have seen more action then I have in the past 2 years. I think all the information on the SEO has been the biggest help. At our training studio we have done all the advertising (paper advertising), and plenty of local magazines, but nothing seems to work. I think the internet is the best and only way to get your name around as the fitness guru. Through posting press releases and other ads online I have seen alot more action. Now after seeing your information on the PPC marketing, blogging, and SEO I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is very new to me seeing your website and trying to put everything together and get there, but I would love to get more information from you, the success you have and had is something I would love to follow! Keeping posting great information!

Chris, the amount and quality of Free content you give out is more than a lot of things I have Paid for! And not just your stuff – you get others to contribute incredible value as well!

Probably one of the most important things I have learned here is to be myself when writing, otherwise it is miserable. You also make seo stuff a lot simpler to manage with your tips on what to concentrate on.

My favorite stuff has been the 7 Things Pick-Up Artists and Savvy Marketers Have in Common, and 43 KILLER Fitness Marketing Tips. Brilliant stuff.

I have also put to use your strategies for me marketing my business and having others fulfill it – best thing I have ever done!

(if only you could have a web department to do all the IT stuff for us =)

Thanks Chris!

Greetings,
At this point I have simply watched the video clips and they all have become extremely useful. I love the outside the box approach and also the obvious, which trainers don't even realize without your help. I always looked at marketing my services believing I knew what my clients/patients wanted. It is so easy to simply ask and do a survey to find out what the clients/patients really want. By using this simple principle my business has grown substantially. I am looking forward to utilizing many other principles you provide to assist me in growing my business to the sky. Thank you so much!

Thank you

I used your tips to secure 3 spots on the first page of google search for "women bootcamps in michigan". I am a pure novice to this internet stuff and have a long way to go. With your tips and mentoring i want to dominate the michigan market and kick every one elses butt. I am 50 years old, been in business 30 years and don't have time to mess around. What will i do with the money–enjoy the rest of my flipping life, give my wife security, and donate my fitness center to my church.

Chris

I haven't been exposed to you information for all that long but have found usable nuggets in everything that you send out! You put out a lot of great and applicable information for free which is something that most in our industry are not willing to do.

The 2 things I have gotten from you that has helped me improve my business has been search engine optimization basics and writing more compelling copy. I am definitely not there yet by any means but have seen my website rank higher in google (first page) for my keywords, both PT and boot camps. I am currently working on getting my WP blog set up and getting started with adwords. Also, areas in which I have gained understanding from you.

I have a great interest in learning more in depth about these online strategies because I recognize the fact that internet marketing is such a powerful time leverage tool. Time is key to me as I am newly married and have loooong honeydo lists if you know what I'm sayin'. I work full time and and run my business as well so creating leverage is key to me in my goal to create lifestyle, which means less work time to me & more dollars in so I have more time to spend doing the things I want to be doing. I believe the Market Annihilator System is the tool that can allow me to create the type of automated leverage that I am talking about.

As far as what I will do with all the additional money, what ever I want!

Thanks for the opportunity!

Chris,

I found your blog about a month ago and have loved it. It is part of my daily reading for many reasons but the most important for is the attitude that you carry and the encouragment to be "BAD ASS" trainers. The one thing I struggle with most is confidence at times because this whole process is overwhelming at times. I starting a basketball development company 11 months ago with 1 player and am now training over 75 players per week while coaching a couple of times. I love what I do but at times am really hard on myself and lately been having some problems with the gym I am in. Your blog gives me hope that one day I can live the kick back life.

Thanks for all you do.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the killer information you give out every time I open my email. What you did was give me the final kick in the A** to get my website up and blog (http://terry-womensworkouts.blogspot.com/). Now I am about to launch my first product. Before I came across you and your products I was thinking way too much and not acting… Although I am not the best web designer or blogger,what i did was put in the basics so that i could build my list and develop a following and then follow up with them. This is just one of the things i got from you… so far it has produced a lot of new business. I have gotten emails from all over the world commenting me on my site… i took a no holds barred approach on some topics (just like you) and women loved it! Thanks… a million (dollars hopefully)

Chris,
I just discovered you last week, but I've already been able to apply some of your advice. I listened to your opening video at a time I was planning an adolescent coaching program. You said you offered your first classes for free for referrals and you talked about the law of reciprocity. It really hit home for me. I am offering the coaching to some kids for free to get the program going and to learn more about what I want to offer in working with them. I really appreciate your guidance and look forward to more good stuff.
Thanks! Alissa
P.S Check out my website, my story is inspiring people but I need to SEO it so I can reach more people and monetize what I offer. The content is excellent. Thanks and I hope I get to work with you!

Chris,
Man what can I say, I've been following the posts and implementing the ideas and it has made so much of a difference! I started my camp last week with 5 people and doubled attendance in a week! I have the first 5 spots on Google and I feel like I'm just getting started! My wife and I are both trainers and we are having our first child in May. I really want to be able to build my business and work smarter not harder. I know having the coaching course would really help take it to the next level, I just wouldn't be able to pay for it right now with our baby girl, Riley, on the way.

Thanks for everything and please pick my name!

Chris,
been following just about everything you write now for about 5 months and I have notes and notes of all the info that you have provided. Just using some tips from the 47 strategies blog that you posted I got two new boot campers and I used your SEO tips to get on the first page of Google for Renton bootcamps.
The truth is I feel like I could do so much more but get overwhelmed with all the things I learn. I only have so much time since I work 40 hours at a bigger gym while also just opening my own facility where I run bootcamps and train athletes.
If I get picked for your program I will make sure I apply everything you are talking about to generate more business so I can transition to just working at my place and freeing up my time, which will help me service my clients better, I can start working on some info products, and most importantly spending time with my wife and family who I barely even see throughout the whole week!
I really do need this and I if I can get in the program I promise to bust my ass and apply, take action on the things I have learned.
Regardless of what happens though, thanks for the info that you have been putting out, as it is seriously some of the best and also entertaining info.

Hey Chris! HELP!!!!
I have been a Personal Trainer since November 2006. I have been sooo busy getting educated the past three years that my business has suffered. I am certified through ACE, I am a rehabilitative exercise specialist and lifestyle and weight management consultant, certified aquatics instructor through the arthritis foundation and I am currently finishing my massage therapy school!!!! Now it is time to get serious about my business and I know that you and Berdros are the two individuals that can help me get where I want to be…..wealthy and lazy…ha! ha!! We all want to have free time to enjoy life!!!I am living from client to client/month to month. You and Bedros Keuilian are my mentors. Because of my financial situation I am unable to purchase alot of the programs that you and Bedros offer….so, I utilize all of the emails that you both send me to the best of my ability! I am currently building my web site by myself and ….it is kicking my ass!!! I know that internet marketing is soo important but I suck at it. I know that I am a good trainer….I have had most of my clients for two years. I need some help and I would greatly appreciate anything that you could do for me!!! Thanks!
Sincerely,

Yo Chris whats up man.

It seems like everywhere I go that someone is talking about how the sky is falling and they are running around like Chicken Little.

Every so often I feel like I might start falling under that trap sometimes to…..but I don't let it paralyze me.

I know the money is not rolling in right now like I want it to be and that I already spent more then I bring in on programs such as the Market Annihilator and others, but I know it is an investment and I truly know that I am going to make things better.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The Market Annihilator as well as reading the Kickbacklife blog everyday gives me the tips and hope and the extra boost I need to keep on keeping on.

With your program I have been learning alot. And although things may be hard and very challenging right now and I may not have the money to implement all of the tons of tips right now, I know I am saving and investing what I can to be able to implement the tips.

I believe you have the ultimate online fitness marketing program out here and I hope to continue following implementing the tips you bring us.

And I hope to one day meet and kick it with ya crazy off-the wall ass one day.

Check out what I have done with my bootcamp site so far.

I know I haven't implemented many of the tips you offer….but that is only because of some crazy debt that I am in right now, but that doesnt matter….I know what I have to do and the economy or anyone for that matter will not stop me from my goals and my success. Our success!

http://www.Bootcamp2GetInShape.com

Chris,

Beyond the x's and o's of strategy and implementation there are certain intangibles I have learned from following your posts and advice.

Above all else be yourself. ALWAYS. I used to write content that may have been correct – but did not show people who I am or what I am all about. You taught me not to care about what other people might think and I definetly learned to be consistently unashamed as to what I want to share with my readers.

Supplying sound fitness "advice" and giving the skinny on what it actually takes to get it done can be two very different things.

Quality content is an absolute must, of course, because without a personality behind it the information is like reading another newspaper article about the economy – same old crap wrapped in different paper.

I may not be experiencing killer numbers – yet – but by following your lead I know for a fact that I have loyal followers, because I hear from them and their feedback makes every word I write worth it. It is then that I know I am making a diffence.

With Gratitude,

Dave

Hey Chris ,
I'm am super motivated. I want to thank you for taking my motivation to the next level. Since I've been reading your emails and using the Market Annihilator Program made a complete shift into learning everythiing I can about marketing. Unfornutantely I was unable to keep up with the monthly payments at this time but I've taken enough to get me at least started. I can definitley say I worked around the clock studying between your strategies, Bedros, and Zack Esh. I've been to the Fitness Summit 2 years ago and started my own boot camp. Recently anttended Zack "Kill It Seminar" and registered for Bedros "the Thumb" lol Mentorship Meeting. I scrambling trying to find funds to make it to the Summit this year just to meet you. I really don't think that it's going to happen though. To be honest, i have a stronger connection to you. I have the same passion ,same aggressive attitude towards life, same hunger for success and I also ride a motorcycle. I just need a little assistance from you, that will take me over the top. I can't sleep some nights just knowing how close I am. Thanks for everything, I'm out for my hunt looking for a location to run my boot camp.

Chris,

Wow… this competition is awesome. Thank you for putting it out there.

Just a quick background on me. Originally from Australia I got myself a Canadian girl, traveled back and forward from OZ(75000 miles all up) eventually moving to Toronto (April 2008) with basically my suitcase and clothes on my back and stayed at her place for a bit before getting my own. (we are still together and although its bloody cold here, all is great) Upon coming here I Got back into Personal Training at GoodLife (like Ballys)and first few months was a real struggle. Since Ryan Lees Bootcamp I have linked up with soo many great ppl in this industry. This eventually brought me to this blog, and Chris McCombs.

After seeing the kind of value Chris was delivering at this blog I jumped on board for Market Annihilator. What an AMAZING program.

Through Market Annihilator ideas from Kick Back Life and a fellow fitness pros assistance, I have achieved the following page and position rankings on Google with these key words…

Fat Loss Tips for Women: Page 1 position 3
3 Top Fat Loss tips for women: Pg 1 No. 1 & 5
Womens Fat Loss Videos: Page 1, no. 1, & 2
Womens Fat Loss Series: Page 1, no. 1,2,4,5,6 and 8
Etobicoke Personal Trainer: Page 1 no. 10
Personal Trainer Etobicoke: Page 2 no. 1
GoodLife Personal Trainer: Page 1 no. 7
Personal Trainer GoodLife: Page 2, no. 1
Womens Fat Loss Tips: Page 2, no. 5
Toronto Fat Loss: Page 1, no. 3
Fat Loss Toronto: Page 1, no. 7

I have done this through ideas I got from some of Chris' posts at this blog, as well as tips from MA.
For example the post Chris put up for Killer Fitness Marketing Tips.. I took this one step further and had fellow fitness pros guest post on my blog. A series of Videos or Vlogs with them sharing their best fat loss tips for women, and 3 things to avoid.

I also took some tips from MA when Chris spoke about the importance of Offline Marketing. I am currently doing this with My GoodLife Giveaway. I am putting up $1000 worth of PT to members in my gym. All they need do is fill in the entry form, and answer 3 questions on my Blog. This builds up credibility and visibility within the gym, and boosts my rankings in Google for the keywords GoodLife Personal Trainer and Personal Trainer Etobicoke (my local area) so it's somewhat of a blend of offline and online techniques.

Even when I get out of GoodLife, there are thousands of GoodLife members locally and if they seek a trainer in GoodLife and I come up in Google, then there is a great chance they will seek me out regardless of the fact that i may not be there.

It has certainly not been an easy road making the big move from OZ and starting from scratch. Thanks to Chris McCombs and others, I have achieved more in the last 6 months than the last 6 years.

Within the next few months I am making the jump from employed position at GoodLife to running my own Bootcamps. It's a steady transition thanks to a non competition clause that prevents me from almost doing anything outside of GoodLife. (I get fired for running bootcamps as an example) Having said that, the wheel is certainly turning. The grapefruits are strapped on and I have a specific niche that I will be targeting and with the help of MA and this blog I have no doubt I will dominate this niche and the Bootcamp Market in TO and after the past almost year of hard slog, really start to see the fruits come to bear.

I also have a monthly dvd and print newsletter in the works, as well as a micro membership site, and my first info product. First things first and that's the bootcamps.

Thanks again Chris for putting this out there, goodluck to all of you guys and I wish you all the success you can handle in 2009. And then some.

Cheers,

Chris, I am a current Market Annihilator member and would like to win a year of coaching.

Results I've gotten from the Market Annihilator:

Currently getting an average of 4 new personal training clients a week from your "stealth" craiglist strategy. It worked the first time I tried it. I barter it out just like you advise.

I also use the sneaky google local trick to rank # 1 in google local listings, which brings in another 1-2 clients a week.

Plus three of my sites are now on the top of page one of google for many of my most important terms. It's hard to tell exactly how many clients this gets me, but it's quite a few.

I have surveyed my market the exact way you suggest in the program and now have much better conversions, because I talk about what they really want not what i think they want or should want.

The Market Annihilator paid itself off within one month for entire year and has allowed me to go from approx 48k per year to six figures. ( $9510 a month now and growing)

My goal now is to build my business to seven figures in 2009. I have no doubt that with your mentoring i can do it.

I will give approx 10% of the money to help starving children right here in America. when i was young we didn't have a lot of money and i know what that can be like, so I really want to make a difference right here in the USA

I believe you have to give in order to receive.

I also believe one has to take action in order to get results in anything in life. When you teach something in the Market Annihilator I almost always I act on it and I will do the same with your coaching program should you choose to award me the winner.

Even if you don't choose me, thank you for everything you have helped me achieve.

Sincerely thanks,

Ron
Certified Personal Trainer

I signed up for the Market Annihilator when you first put it out. I had only been following you and heard about you maybe a month earlier but I saw the content you were putting out. Law of reciprocation, I had to pay you back! I was actually still in university at that point and just training a couple hours here and there so I didn’t keep up with the new content you were putting out. I actually took out a loan just to purchase it the program! But I finished school in December and got back on track a few weeks ago and things are finally starting to roll. Right away I bought a domain and got a guy to develop my sales page. I wrote the sales copy myself based off of tips you had given out in the first couple months of the program but I will be getting a copywriter to revise it once I get the money. So I have my basic sales homepage developed and up with a blog (which still need revisions and layout changes), I am advertising online at elance and guru.com to start getting my back end pages written for me.

I just started reading Cialdini’s book you recommended (almost done) and like you said I am now understanding much more why and how certain tactics are used when advertising or trying to make a sale. And seeing the tactics I’ve been victim to. I have not benefitted financially from the program yet but I know it is coming. My marketing and website knowledge has increased dramatically and I am only about halfway caught up in the program.

You give out wicked info and I love the way you put it out there. Since getting back into the program I have definitely taken action on everything you have said. Things are just running slow on the tech side. Camera is broken so just waiting till its fixed so I can start getting testimonials and putting video on my blog showing people who I am. But I could only imagine what it would be like to work with you and learn from you. Without market annihilator I would have been completely lost on where to start and even how to start but you make things so easy and walk through them step by step. Let alone actually working with you one on one!

This is the new age and you have to be on the internet giving high quality content if you want to succeed and become a 1%’er. I am just starting into the social networking and haven’t used it properly but just listened to your interview with Tousignant and his tips are what I’ll be starting today.

Once I get some money the first thing I want to do is pay off my debt from school and then get rid of my POS car. Console is busted, heat doesn’t work, paint chipping and rusting and list goes on. Then I’ll take a vacation and start outsourcing more so someone else can do the work for me!

I would love to be able to work with you Chris and get the chance to have a real business mentor. Thanks for what you have helped me with already and I know there’s more to come.

I'm new to your information, but not to the fitness game. My partner, Joe Garcia, and I opened our fitness training studio in 2003 and have since been able to create a great facility that is often called "The Best Kept Secret in Town." We were recently voted one of the Top 5 Personal Training gyms in Los Angeles.

The profitability has never equaled the praise, though. The term "Best Kept Secret" is as notable for the "Best" as it is for the "Secret." We don't want to be a secret anymore. Our product offers a tremendous value to the public and deserves to be wildly successful. At the outset of our business I spent a lot of time trying to build up our online presence, but in the course of working in my business I forgot the importance of working ON it, and let that practice fade terribly. As a result, we're playing catch-up with regard to dominating our market area online, and that is an unacceptable situation for a brick and mortar business that has been open for 6 years.

We have always been on the edge of "breaking out." It's time for us to make it over the edge and experience the success that our company and clients deserve. We just need a little help.

As for the question, "What would I do with the material rewards," that's easy. I would sleep better! I would know that the reward is proportionate to the quality of my company. I may be in the minority, but I'm not interested in a 4 Hour Work Week. I love working, but I want to work from a position of inspiration instead of desperation. I want to take more vacation time. I want to expand and grow my business. I want to improve and streamline my business so that it continues to provide a greater and more rewarding experience for my clients, staff, partner, and me. I want more funds to enjoy the things my wife and I like to do outside of work. I'd like to mentor and teach. I'd like to enjoy the rewards that I believe the quality of my work deserve.

Your program seems ideal for achieving the online presence that any successful company must have in the tech-age.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,I just wanted to say that your videos and kick back life has indeed helped my business on the internet,but mostly it continues to motivate and kick me in the ass each an everyday to continue doing what I do. I'm also very appreciative of your no nonsense style. I want to say this because I've been in the industry over 20 years and still find your information valuable. I can also relate to your own personal story becuse mine isn't so different. I was raised on the streets of the South Bronx in NYC amongst the pimps,dealers, hustlers and murderers that inhabited my hood, and was able to get out.I've seen what drugs and that type of environment can do to people from first hand experience.I can go on and tell you about the amount of friends and family who have done time and never escaped the life,but I just want to say that statistics don't tell you all of the stories. I have beaten the statistics, a young hispanic male from the ghetto should never have seen as many birthdays as I have.
Even though my father was locked up during some of my prominent years growing up, I drew strength from my mother's perserverence and work ethic, and I always believed that I didn't have to be relegated to a life in the hood. There was so much more out there that I could get a piece of. I believe that's why I'm still around today, and successful within my field. From the South Bronx to Master Trainer, author,trainer to professional athletes, featured in dozens of national magazine publications,news telecasts and owner of a very successful personal training center in Colorado. I think I've done well for myself. I'm not writing this for any free gifts or mentorship,I've mentored and given back to many young successful trainers in my day. The reason I am writing this is to inspire and will other young men and women that may be in a similar situations to keep fighting the fight, and that good things do happen to good people who are willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Stay strong Brother, and keep doing what you do and how you do it.

Best of luck with your candidate search.

Chris,

I've always been skeptical about long copy websites but I went through yours to get on MA and haven't regretted it one second.

My story starts when Kaiser "F the gym" Serajuddin makes me dump the gym – and I can’t thank him enough for it. Once I was independent all the traditional marketing and prospecting seemed so 'intangible' to me that I wanted something proven to work. Hanging up my business card at the grocery store didn’t feel right, and that's when MA came.

So far I’m amazed by how in-depth this program is. I’m taking action on all the steps and for some cities I’m already on Google’s 1st page.

I'm not going to lie by telling you that I got dozens of clients out of it, and that money is falling out of the sky, because it isn't yet. I just started independently 3 months ago so all is still a work-in-progress for me.

And at the moment I'm still in the trenches with a million things to so. For the next few weeks I’ll be optimizing all my city pages for their specific keywords of "Personal Trainer (city name)".

Besides that I'm riding the 'law of reciprocity' phenomenon as I'm training many people for free – just like you did when you started. Though all my friends are calling me nuts for doing this, I can see how this tactic will bring me large income in the end.

Also, and I don’t know if I even should be at this stage yet, but I try to wear the entrepreneur hat as much as I can….though, the 2 things holding me back are:
-1- It's counter-intuitive (Rookie Entrepreneur mistake of wanting to do all by myself – “The Lone Ranger” as Bedros calls it)
-2- $ is low right now (already on a business loan) so I want all my article writing to come through bartering (and I need someone that'll give me guaranteed unique content).

Now with this said I'm confident I'll be successful within a year. It's not the money – it's the lifestyle that I'm in this for.

Also, my compliments to Ron T. – those are some insane results you got, keep up the good work.

Hi Chris,

First off, no matter how strong of a seller you are. It doesn't mean jack if you can't attract people, let alone the right type of people to your service. I'm new to your services so I haven't had the pleasure of immplementing a lot of your proven tactics to attract loyal cash paying clients.

My name is Michael Hamlin and I've been a fitness professional now for almost 7 years. I've gone through periods where I've made 75,000 to 100,000.00 as a personal trainer but I've also had plenty of times(well most) where I've only mad made 30,000.00 per year. I know I'm a great trainer and I have a before and after book 2 inches thick to prove it but when it comes to marketing I keep tending to fail backwards instead of forwards.

I'm positive that being a member of your marketing Annihilator program will help complete me as a fitness professional. I'm tired of having an income stream better than 90% of most personal trainers one year and then close to living out of a box the next. My marketing is killing me.

If I were to be picked as one of the lucky winners for your program I would take full advantage of your services to grow my business to it's full potential. There is so much I want to do with in the fitness industry from starting a successful boot camp, to creating my own fitness info product but most importantly, just to be able to stabilize my one on one personal training business would be a blessing in it self. Thank you for your time and in all that you do.

Chris,

Dude, where do I start? Man, to be honest, I have to physically remove myself from the laptop cuz I can't stop checking out your site. I'm still new to your stuff and the content you give us is incredible. It keeps getting better. I really can't believe you give so many damn golden nuggets.

Marketing my business online is so important because that's where the money is. 90% of my clients come via Google. I WANT MORE!!!! The advertising pubs in my market are all folding and I hate working with them anyways (they blow). Google isn't going anywhere and I want to annihilate all my competitors and dominate my market while I sleep. The biggest reason is, I am GOOD at kicking back and enjoying life and I want more time to do it. I have an incredibly smokin-hot A$$ wife (just check my site), I live at the beach…nuff said! She is starting on her master's next year and she deserves not to worry about moolah.

What am I gonna do with phat stacks of cash from Market Annihilator? I'm paying off the plastic, finally…College was fun fun fun. I'm bringing my wifey out to Cali. She's been dying to hit Socal. Putting money away for my future family…it's almost baby-time.

I own 50+ domains (ready to conquer!)and I'm primed to annihilate my market online in everything fitness. Man, if you choose me I will ABSOLUTELY utilize all the goods you share. I've already built time into the day to implement your strategies. I want this so bad, if you pick me I will stop by your casa when I'm in Cali and personally wash and detail your rides………SIKE, I'll have so much extra scratch, I will pay someone else to do it for me so we can 'kick back' and live life.

Thanks for everything!

Marketing a fitness business online is crucial because so many people turn to the internet for information; probably more than any other source. I would use this information to build an affiliate marketing website. The reason I would promote other peoples products is because I want to have an internet based business because I’ll be traveling for the next few years. Plus, I have used all of the products I would promote and I would only promote the products that are tried and true that come from people on the top of their game. (Eric Cressey, Mike Robertson, Craig Ballantyne, Alwyn Cosgrove, Mike Roussell, John Berardi, Jason Ferruggia, etc)

Since I won’t have my own “bricks and mortar” business for a while, I still want to help as many people as possible. I want to supply people with the information they need to make the right decisions when it comes to training and nutrition. Too many people (especially women) still engage in exercise (i.e. long, slow cardio) that doesn’t bring them any closer to their body composition goals. I have important information that needs to be shared, and I know I can make a big impact, especially with the female population. Women need to know that it’s okay to lift heavy weights. They should be determined to do bodyweight chin-ups, dips, pistols, and push heavy weight. Women need to know that they don’t have to spend any time on machines doing endless cardio. Women (and men) need to know how to get more results in less time. There are too many important things in life to do; no one should stress over finding the right training and nutrition programs. I strongly believe that I know who the best of the best are, and these are the people I want to promote. These are also the people I will learn from.

With the money I would make from an affiliate website, I would continue learning and improving my craft. I would travel to gyms of experienced strength coaches (I FAST, Cressey Performance, Results Fitness, etc) and increase my knowledge. The more I learn, the more I can share. I would also continue to test out my own training methods on people and create my own info products. I will create products specifically for women: and I know I will help many. I want to help women realize their true potential in the gym.

Hi Chris,

I have only been fortunate enough to have been a part of your blogging advice for the last month, but during that time I've already been able to apply some of your advice and i am glad to say i am already number 1 with google for my Bootcamps in Australia.

After reading some of your material and learning how to write specific content for the website and how google picks up the wording has been invaluable.

Also after taking your advice we set a new budget for google ad words, and even though we are spending an extra $400 per month, we now average up to $1000 per month in increased income for my business( great to be able to do that and really do nothing for the extra income to our Bootcamps).

I listened to your opening video at a time I was planning our upcoming Bootcamp season here in Australia. You said you offered your first classes for free ( or get current clients to bring a friend for FREE), which we did for the month on January. I am pleased to say that this also took our Bootcamp numbers of referrals from 19 for our last 12 week program to 48 for this 12 weeks ( a total increase in income of $12900 not bad for 12 weeks!!!!).

I believe marketing your fitness business online is super important as it can really become a great way to generate a steady income whilst giving you more time to focus on other things in th ebusiness( or relax if you like).

With the extra income we will make my goal is to open 'The Succeed Child Care Learning Centre' here in Australia which is a complete different world to other child care facilities.

They will receive lessons in fitness, cooking, prosperity( teaching them they can be, do or have anything they desire), gratitude, NLP, meditation, amongst many other things.

Our focus for the centre will be working with some of the fantastic programs around the world at the moment like 'The Secret' ( which we have distribution rights for here in Australia)etc….

I really appreciate your guidance and look forward to the very basic down to earth information that you provide on a regular basis.

Many people choose to not give out information like you do for FREE for fear they may lose work, but they do not realise the more you give out freely the more it will come to you.

Regards,

Scott Williams

Hey Chris, thanks for all the value. As far as I’m concerned, you’re already giving us so much for free it’s ridiculous. You must be crazy.

I am 25 years old. I quit my job as a trainer at a gym 6-8 months ago and started my website http://www.workout4results.com. I thought I would be successful right away. Bad idea, lol. To be honest, it was perhaps the worst decision of my life. I was a train wreck and lost my girlfriend, my money, my job, and even my health for a month. I was selling coupon books door to door and had to humble myself in some serious ways to survive. Things were hard because I was and I still am a full time student at SJSU. I was trying to do too much with no money☹

Fortunately, I graduate this semester! I have a steady source of income working a J.O.B. Anyways, I learned some valuable things from your website and I still believe I can be successful. I have applied your idea of training people for free for referrals, many of your videos, and I even had a question answered by you specifically on how to make my website better.

My plan is to make a paid for site that allows members direct and quick access to individual experts in specific fields. I have even talked to successful entrepreneurs here in Silicon Valley about my idea and they liked it. No personal training whatsoever! This is all web based. I don’t want to train anyone personally because this is money for time. No Thanks…

Once I get together with someone who can really help me, I will make bank with my website idea. I will have people following my program at personal training studios across the country. I will use the money to pay off my two school loans, move into my own pad, get a car that won’t break down on me, and I will go on a vacation. Yes, a much needed vacation. I will become one of the greatest entrepreneur minds on the planet.

Yes, I am crazy. Yes, I will do whatever it takes. Yes, it is only a matter of time before I make this work. Why not now?

I can relate to your old lifestyle,(my old). I've been getting info from you and bedros for some time but:
I've gotten lost in the vast sea of awsome info that you guys have given so I end up picking bits out. Partly due to the fact that I'm so busy spinning my wheels trying to get up to par and ahead. I just started facebook yesterday and I came home to 22 emails for it. I started a blog as per you ,but again spinning wheels so I cant get regular content on it. Trying to pick a starting point seems to be a challenge. Like getting to the food store to buy some f@#!ing soap and you don't know where to start so you go with the same old shit!!! Yeah! I have gotten good response from the ideas but there in the back ally and I need to get them up front. Only because people have said to me so often: I "smart as F#@!". But I suck because I might be able to sell a raft to drowning man. Help man! I love the industry and I wont give it up but I don't want to "police" the drunk and disorderly by night either. Getting a little tired of that.
Thanks for your help thus far.
In good health. Alan Alansbodyrevolution.com

Hi Chris,

Your information is straightforward and sensible, but of course its absolutely useless unless its put into action! And unfortunately that has been my problem lately. I've oversubscribed to far too many 'How to' guides, filled notebooks with pages of grand ideas, domain names, and dreams, and maxed out credit cards; but until I can laser in on one idea and get started I'm dead in the water. I love what I do, but I need to get systems in place and train instructors before I start dreading the 5am wake ups and have it ruin my enjoyment of the business. I've been searching for a mentor to take my business to the next level – hopefully you can help Chris.

Damn you Chris,

I gave the day off to my assistant Julianna and now you take this day to ask for a comment.(she usually types everything for me)

I am way too busy to comment on every blog. I wasn't going to comment on this one. It takes me a long time as I can't type worth a crap.

But my conscious wouldn't let me. I had to leave a comment to let everyone know that your program is already paid for itself 10 fold.

I don't want to sit here and keep typing about specifics things that I learned from you because that will take me 30 minutes the way I type.

No offense Chris obviuosly I am not trying to win the contest here becaue you already thought me pretty much everything I need to know. I enrolled in your super advanced program. (But for some reason I still think that you have a few more tricks up your sleeve you bastard)

It's a no brainer, what if I told you to give me $200.00 and I will give you $2000.00 GUARANTEED in one year. Who wouldn't take that deal? Well that's what I think of the Market Annihilator program.

Damn it Chris I am going to get carpel tunnel from typing all this.(Where is mu assiatant)

P.S. To all trainer reading this I DON'T GET A DIME ENDORSING THIS OR ANY PROGRAM. I just tell it like it is.

Hi Chris,

I am in your Marketing Annihilator program. We just talked the other day via phone for one of the bonuses. The first great tting you tought me was how to make my website more simple and how this would get me more contacts and prospects.

Since then I have been just making some small changes in my front page. I added more before and after photos, eliminated the navaigation bar etc. (I would be more detailed but this wasn't free information) I am getting a client a week on average from my website. Before I did this tweaking that you recommended I was not getting any reponse from my site. I was very frustrated back then but now I am excited finding a new prospect each and ever week!

The next thing you have taught me is how to advertise effectively on Craigs List..I just started doing this and am already get responses!

Marketing your business online is crucial and most trainers still do not even have a website in my area! Marketing face to face is good, but there are only so many hours in the day and your website and online marketing can market for you around the clock! Do you ever think how many prospects search online each day?

If I would win the coaching it would be great because the stuff online and the Marketing Annihilator is new to me and sometimes I have to watch the videos 2-3 times for me to understand everything and put it right into action. Having the step by step walk through would be a huge lift in my business and finally take me to the level I know I can be.

thanks Chris! For everything and the your consideration!

Hi Chris,

I am a current member with Market Annihilator and am loving it. I am a mum with 3 children under the age of 9 so in order to be able to find the time to study your content, I stay up really late at night and get up hours before daylight. I remember I didn't even know how I was going to pay for your course when I signed up (I had already signed up to Boot Camp Blue Print)but I read your story about how you studied, got coaching and just plain worked hard, and I knew if you could do it, you could teach me how I could do it.

I am all about having a kickback lifestyle – to me that means having multiple streams of income that are systemised. In the last 12 months I have launched my boot camp business and now have 10 camps. I am about to launch a membership website in my area of expertise and the information you have provided about how to dominate google has given me an action plan. I cannot wait to get it up online. I have plans for another 2 membership websites, a teleseminar product and plans to double my boot camp business in the next 6 months.

Along with Dan Kennedy, Frank Kern, Jeff Walker, Jim Labadie and Pat Rigsby, you are an essential part of my education. I want to thank you for all your posts. Even though, technically I am not your target audience, I learn so much from your blog posts and look forward to more in the future.

Hi Chris
I have been reading your Kickback Life blog because it has provided me ideas on how to market and get clients for my women boot camp in Perth, Australia. And I'm a member of your Market Annihilator as well which has been instrumental in my bootcamp business. The program had helped me get my Women Bootcamp on the 1st page of the google for Perth and I can never say enough how your critiquing of my Perth Women Boot Camp website has helped. It was disastrous but you were very kind to put it in a nice way to me and I appreciate your unbiased opinion. With the website completely overhauled, I'm getting hot prospects that turns up at the boot camp. In the past, people just called and never turned up. Joining your Market Annihilator definitely has been the turning point for me. It was extremely difficult before because I moved from Singapore to Perth, Australia and has no client base and know nobody at all.

Hey Chris

My name is Michael Rinsler-Let me please say this- we have had some e mail contact in the past. You warned me about Jeremy from Fitness leads. I called him on it- and he gave me some b.s. about having a falling out with Bedros- bottom line- still never received leads. I have been a personal trainer for 28 years. I had received my start at the famous mens Mid-City Gym in Manhattan- when I first joined there in 1980 as a member- I was a skinny 158 lb kid- after learning from the owner- Tom Minichiello- how to train myself- and saw the confidence it gave me- I knew what I wanted to do with my life- I wanted to help people get in shape- body and mind- . I started working there in 1981- and I was cleaning mirrors- making protein shakes- putting away weights-and also- when new members signed up- I would give them 3 free training sessions (as Tom taught me how to do custom program design)-bottom line- We never heard the word personal trainer ever in 1981- so -even though I was doing it- I had no idea what it was called- because the word was not even "coined" yet-we called it 3 free training sessions with a years membership- but- lol- that was what it evolved into- so you could say I got into it into personal training in its infancy. Chris- I paid my dues- as alot of your people entering this contest of yours have- and I have had a hell of a lot of hard luck and major money promlems as I am sure lots of your contestants have.I am no different- and am not looking for friggin pity. since my divorce- most of my money has be givin to my ex for child support. I want fight for custody-and need to make lots of money-for a top lawyer- and Chris- I do not mind hard work- I work many hours as a home trainer and I am burnt out-at 53-I need to work smarter -not just harder. I know everyone talks of the internet- and from signing up on your e mail list- I know one thing you speak of that is so important- that is marketing. I am the worst businessman-and want to do multiple streams of income-as you say- and I know you have like 10 trainers working for you- and you have alot of free time to live life- well- I bought courses from Allen hill- Jim Labadie- Rocco Castellano- and believe me- they were great courses- my problem is- with all my personal nonsence going on- it is hard for me to read and follow- I need classroom instruction. When I first heard of your program "Market Annihilator"- I was so excited- thats what I needed excatly to take me to the next level- but then I saw the cost- and I am sure it is worth 20 times that- but it wasn'tgoing to happen now-then I got Jim Labadies e mail- about the "Fast Track To Fitness Millions"- the 3 day event being held in New Jersey- and once I saw you were going to speak- I went friggin nutts- and said I gotta go- saw I could make 4 payments of 50 bucks-and last Friday- signed up for it- gave my down payment of 50- and my main guy to see was you- I dig your style- you are a real person- and you have had your hard times as alot of us- but- it made you stronger- I even loved the part of how you will probably be dressed- dude- you are real- you can wear your t shirt and flip flops and shorts- you have nothing to prove to nobody- you made it- I want to hear you speak- and take a ton of notes since I could not afford your system at this time- now today – I get your e mail for this contest- and again- I know you will have a ton of entries- But I am just as deserving-I paid my dues for many years-and need your 12 month program to take me to the top of my game. I promise you this- I will treat your schooling as if I am gettin a masters deree at Harvard- and do whatever it is I am asked by you- You have to show people you give a damn- and prove yourself- and I need you Chris- a street guy like me- to Mentor me. A guy can only be kicked down so much- and I am done with bein down-so- all I ask is that you please consider me for your contest- Livin in NY- money is tight- and I need to do this for me- and my 7 year old son- thanks Chris for your consideration- and look forward to meeting you and shaking your hand in New Jersey at the end of May- very sincerely- Michael Rinsler

Hi Chris,
Let me start by saying that my life has changed dramatically since I first ran across your blog.

Here's what has transpired since finding your blog in October.

October
Read your post on your blog describing how you originally built your business by training people for free.

Thought about it and said: "What the hell, I'll give it a try."

November
Marketed a free group training series for the month of December.

December
Started December classes with 7 paid clients and 18 "freebies".

January
Retained my 7 original clients and added 8 more paid clients from the 18 freebies.
Total of 15 paid clients.
Also, offered recurring billing at the beginning of January, which most of the clients opted for.

Used SEO tactics for generic listings and started utilizing craigslist.com to generate leads from the internet.

February
Utilizing market annihilator and your kickbacklife.com website.
Have 7 new paying clients and 2 more 1 week free trial prospects obtained in the month of February.

I've gone from 7 paying clients in December to
22 paid clients in the month of February.
Most of which are now on recurring billing.

In other words, I tripled my business in less than 3 months.

I've done everything that you have asked me to do and took massive action to implement it.

I have even read the books: Influence, No BS Marketing to the Affluent, and The Game (felt weird buying that one).

I want to win the year of coaching. I'll do everything you ask and take action quickly.

Thanks Chris for everything.
Your systems work… and they work extremely well.

Chris,
I had seen your name attached with many events put had never thought about getting an internet presence so I never read any of your material. Yesterday, Alwyn Cosgrove was helping with my sales copy for my website and had suggested I look at your materials. I am a former fat boy that has lost over 100 lbs and your wesbite was exactly what I wanted to convey to prospective clients. I spent about an hour looking over your welcome page and it obvious the attention detail. I am awaiting the Sports camp empire with your information and to see your presentation at the Fast Track to millions seminar. Working with Alwyn's mentor group has improved my business and would love to have the opportunity to work with you on building an internet system for my business.
Regards,
Darren Garland

"Oh, Diane has so much potential". I've heard this throughout my life. Potential is NOTHING unless you tap into it, just like an idea. You tap into an idea through marketing, marketing, and more marketing. Chris, I finally got it from just being exposed to you and your teachings for the past three months.

I've been a personal trainer working full-time for the past 11 years coming from a non-fitness background — plus-size fashion model with one of the best in the world in NYC and opera! I know it's a strange mix…but I finally found my passion and it's in fitness specifically empowering women through body transformation — fitness and weight loss. My passion has inspired me to have endless product and service ideas and I finally went ahead and launched a boot camp for women in the fall. Boy, the realization that marketing is EVERYTHING slapped me in the face. I not only have great ideas but I'm always bombarded with opportunities. From having a QVC contact (who chooses products for the show) who came to me about wanting to talk about my boot camp idea to being asked to host a Wellness Weekend at a five star resort by the resort owner in Costa Rica to working with a friend to launch her Online Weight Loss Program for her network of over 35,000 members to having a friend who has been a big PR person in the Sports/Entertainment Industry then just last week another friend came up to me wanting to partner with me to open up a one-on-one personal training business in the city. The bombardment is insane!

But I figured out it's not just about having the contacts. I don't want to be a public fitness star. It's not about being the center of attention. It's about tangible results in business. What I'm getting from you Chris IS that — tangible results and knowledge applicable to getting results in business and that is by far the best opportunity I can use so far. I will take advantage of my other opportunities but building a following, a network, is extremely important and gets me a lot of leverage when I'm in front of these contacts.

I finally got my weight loss blog up (catering to a very specific niche). The technical stuff really got to me but I DID IT and I still have some hair left! The site needs a lot of help — cornerstone content, etc. but it's up and I'm so proud that I did it. The information that I get from Market Annihilator blows me away and at times can be very overwhelming and cloudy but I plan to plug away and eventually the clouds will part seeing clear skies. It'll only be a matter of time.

Thank you so much Chris for helping me and others launch our dreams.

Diane Williams

YOUR PROGRAM SUCKS!!!
Chris your programs…all of them suck the life out of any other programs out there. I've just started following you information and I'm trying to use as much of the free material as I can. All I can say is that it's amazing! I've studied all the other fitness internet marketer "experts" out there and you stand head and shoulders above them all.
I'm looking forward to seeing you live at the Fitness Business Summit in May. Hopefully I will gain a better insight as to what it takes to improve my fitness and financial situation.
I want to win your coaching program….so I'm telling everyone I meet that "YOUR PROGRAMS SUCK!!!!"
(Of course I then have to explain that I mean that in a good way.)
Keep the great material coming. It's exactly what the fitness industry needs.
Thanks

Hey Chris,

Let me tell you how I got to where I am now. I was an unmotivated, beer drinking, fried food eating(Micky D's and I had a long relationship) 285 pound guy during college and early post college. I never worked out in my life. I'd get tired walking up the stairs! I would think and sweat! and I was only 21! Growing up in the inner city was a challenge. I ran the streets and hung out with some hardcore cats!!
I had no direction in life until I was told to join the gym (doctor's orders)and was exposed to not only working out but I also saw a different lifestyle outside of the hood!
The Market Annihilator program has helped my partner and I focus a lot more on the business side of Personal training, the right way! I've added two camps to my schedule, am sending out bi-weekly newsletters filled with the content that my clientele desires and outsourced some of my blog work which will also be loaded with the hotness!! The program is really pushing me in the right direction and helping me to leverage the market in my area! I'm even writing a book!!
Thanks for everything bro!
You really helped me see, even more, the power of the internet and the right way to dominate it!

Hi Chris,

I was thrilled to find your website a few weeks ago. I've implemented some of the things I've read, and have had at least some interest in my business. I had no interest whatsoever before. Receiving your email regarding this opportunity was the best of them so far. Even better would be to receive a notification that I won ) Does it help me if the 19th is my birthday? (just kidding)

I just moved down to San Diego, after training in Orange County for 4 years. Before moving I landed several training jobs, only to find out later for one or another reason they were just ridiculous situations. Feeling desperate, and knowing that I would have to find a whole new client base regardless, I decided to start my business. I'm excellent at networking, but I'm having issues turning those opportunities into profit.

My favorite place to train is outdoors, in parks, at beaches or even back yards. My greatest stregth is my creativity, my clients really enjoy seeing what I'll come up with week after week. Not to mention I get results. So when I thought about starting this business, I decided to always incorporate the things I love about training. However, I've spent more time staring at my computer screen than I have the views of the city while training. I want to change that, but don't know what I'm not doing.

The one skill I seem to lack is the marketing knowledge to start landing clients via online marketing, or even neighborhood marketing for that matter. I'm struggling to get each client, and a few weeks ago when I found your website I had almost decided to get a job and give up on the business for now. Once the idea actually hit my subconscious, I hated the idea, and I decided it was time to put my researching skills to the test.

I've been reading, taking notes, watching all your videos, and checking out your colleagues sites as well. It's an amazing group, and I truly have learned alot. I developed a website, using templates, and tried to incorporate all the ad words suggested in several of your posts. Signed up for Google Adwords, and listed myself on their Google Local Advertising. The business listing I posted on Yelp now pops up 2nd on the list when you type in "fitness balboa" You should have seen me dancing around the house when I saw that one :O) It wouldn't have happened without my incorporating the techniques you suggested in your initial video. I have tried to incorporate everything I can afford, and have done everything I can that is free.

While I have been working hard, and doing everything I can, there's a lot I'm not doing. The clients are not knocking on my door, and because of that I do not have a steady income from this business yet. I want one, a good steady income – my goal is to hit a 6 figure income by 2010.

I offer several items. One that I'm very successfully promoting and landing clients for is my monthly Health and Wellness Consultation. Its not even listed my website! I'm doing something right, but honestly I couldn't tell you what it is.

I hope you'll consider me for this prize. I work very hard to learn and achieve success, and while I'm thrilled to have just found your website, but to receive your assistance and have those clients start rolling in would be AWESOME!!!

You dominate, and I'm ready to dominate too! So…when can I get started :O)

Bonni

Hey Chris

THANK YOU !!!!!

Ok so I'm a year and a half into my business,I'm on your mailing list, I know of you from PTU and I've loved listening to your webinairs for the BCBP program. I haven't even begun getting into all your amazing technical content yet.

BUT even with out all that…here is what I've learned
from YOU

I love your stuff for a few reasons:

1. You are easy to listen to because you are YOURSELF
and have no BS….who wants to listen to some boring person!

Lessons I've learned from you?….not everyone has to like me so don't try to please..BE YOURSELF, write like you talk, talk like your a confident superstar and wear your comfy flip flops whenever the hell you want!

2. Leveraging your time…a kick back life is definetely where I want to be so I'm going to work my ass off to get there. I'm on the Freedom 35 plan (6 years)to be financially free to enjoy!

Lessons learned from Chris: I leveraged my PT time and moved them all into Group sessions, they pay less per hour but train more and that EQUALS more $$$$

Second, I went after all the big talkers in my neighborhood to be walking billboards (hairdressers, realestate agents, teachers, spa ladies) and filled my group peronal training classes… Thanks!

Thanks so much for rocking the marketing world I can't wait to meet you in NJ at fast track to millions

I LOVE everything here so far and would LOVE to be in the market annihilator program.

I've got what it takes and the will to work HARD!

Chris, man I don't know what to say. I guess I can sum it up in a short sentence or 12:

After applying what you've taught me I now own pretty much own the whole first page of google. Well, 8 out of 10 slots for my main keyword, at least when I last checked. But hey, I won't be satisfied until it's 10 out of 10. Going from $39.00 for an entire hour of training to now upwards of $237.00 for training just 40 minute group sessions and I now take off completely 4 days each week.

Chris's coaching and Market Annihilator program are without a doubt the best investment I've made into my business, paying itself back 10x every month. You have truly given me the shortcut to Fit-Biz success saving me years of trial and error.

The only thing I don't like is the possibility that my competition might find out about you, can we split a deal if you take your site down? Probably not, okay.

I just feel bad for any trainer or instructor who doesn't take advantage of Chris's programs and coaching.

Zach Hunt

Hey Chris,

My story is simple. I need more clients. Currently, I work for a company that feeds me clients. Lately, the feed has died down…even during the busiest time of the year. This leaves me with three choices. I can quit, wait for clients to slowly trickle in, or go out and get 'em myself. I choose to go out and get 'em myself because I love what I do. I only need help getting started.

I just recently started a newsletter and online training. This weekend I plan to start a blog. What I need is the know how to funnel prospects my way. Eventually I want to open my own studio. My first step (as I see it) is to develop a demand for my services.

I live in a town that is wide open for the fitness industry. Obesity is a HUGE (pun intended) problem (I live in the south) but there is only one fitness professional in town that seems to get it somewhat. I plan on adding my name to that short list.

If I could afford your program, I would have already jumped on it. One day soon, I will be able to afford it, but I won't pass up an opportunity to get it for free. Hopefully you'll pick me but if you don't, I'll most likely join on the next go round. See you at the top!

Hi Chris,
I'm a fat loss expert in Sydney and gradually getting more and more proficient with online marketing through Craig B, the PTU team and your tips. I came across you on PTU and ventured over here late last year.

the biggest thing I have learnt from you is how to run a blog that has personality and compels people to leave a response whether positive or negative.

As a result, I signed up for your kickback club last when when it launched and have a guy putting the finishing touches on moving my blog over from blogger to wordpress.

I am making 2009 my most productive year, especially online and through my press releases alone I am starting to command a bit of good google rankings for various keywords.

thanks for your stuff mate, keep pumping it out and i'll keep on reading and applying.

cheers,
Daniel

Hello,

My name is Deborah. I have been a trainer for almost 8 years. It has been hard since I moved to L.A. from Arkansas because there are so many wanna be trainers here…I have just drained myself trying to be the best and be above and beyond the trainers where I train and teach bootcamp and cardio kickboxing classes. I struggle day in and day out, trying to figure out how I can move to a different level of training to help people reach goals. I am always trying to reach out and help some people without charging a dime. I am so frustrated with myself knowing that I have so darn much to offer, but I don't know how to get there and I feel like I could just go over the top if I just had a chance. I have a huge amount of love for training and helping people reach goals, but just stuck in a rut.
If I had this chance to get this kind of coaching, it would put me on a great state of mind, and a level that I never thought that I could reach on my own. I would have already bought all your stuff if I could afford it..Everytime I read something of yours, I get so excited and then I think, you can't afford it so stop. I have lost some self confidence here lately and in a rut of do I keep doing this or do I just give up…I love training and don't know anything else and don't have a love for anything else but this. Just give me a chance and I promise you that I will make your business proud that you chose me to give the gift to.
Thank you for this chance….

Chris,

I swear this post was meant for me. I have had what one would call a “tumultuous” year. I owned a health club in the Boston area up until September of 2008. We had an awesome sports performance business and did anywhere from $25,000 – $60,000 per month just training athletes. In addition, we built up a $30,000-$40,000 per month personal training business with only 1,000 paying members. Sounds decent right?

Therein lies the problem. We were in an overloaded market and the membership numbers were just not there. We had the sales systems and personnel in place, but it was all too little, too late. Financial details aside, we had to close our doors.

Only one person got stuck holding the bag. Me. So there I was, solid reputation, no job and one gigantic six figure debt. So I quickly reestablished myself at my home studio and got to work. I was quickly as busy as I want to be with clients, but am still trading ‘hours for dollars’. This pace will NOT take me to where I need to be.

I had zero knowledge of real marketing, but began following Jim, Nick, and Pat’s stuff along with your internet marketing info. My background as a system and network admin geek will be invaluable here.

Within 1 week of putting an account on Facebook, I now have an inexpensive web designer putting up my site (main site and boot camp site) for short cash. I have my accounts established on all current sites will be driving folks that way to find out more about me. I am already establishing revenue through the internet via my Prograde promotions in my newsletter. Multiple revenue streams are poised to follow. I already have 35+ athletes signed up for my summer session, all through on-line newsletter efforts.

Additionally, I got a press release in the paper this week in advance of my first ever Boot Camp for the town next week. More importantly, I now know I have a shot.

I am not a Market Annihilator member at present only because I simply lack the capitol to do everything at once.

I firmly believe that by employing the correct techniques, I will erase my debt, crush my local competition, and start living the life I should be. All in short order.

I suppose if you are looking for a challenge along with the person with the experience and motivation to carry it out, you got it.

Keep up the great work.

Art McDermott, CSCS

Hey Chris,

My name is Kevin Valluzzi. I've been a trainer for 10 years now and have recently been reading your blog for the last couple of months. I have been to the Ryan Lee bootcamps, Phil Kaplan's seminars, Craig Ballantyne's seminar, IDEA conventions, etc. I have worked in a gym, done one-on-one in home training, and am starting a bootcamp class in an upscale area of Bergen county, NJ.

I have a self published book, "Stop The Fitness Confusion", as well as an e-book, "Busy Woman Fitness".

I have been featured on Channel 7 ABC News, in the USA Today, and on several radio shows across the US. I am also shooting a fitness segment for Channel 9 News and FOX 5 News next week. So far all of this publicity has done NOTHING for me!

I have 2 small children and GOD BLESS my wife for sticking with me throughout these trying times in my own little "fitness world". I don't want to paint a horrible picture and give my sob story but the truth is that I am strictly trading my time for money and I am barely paying the bills each month. I have had ups and downs and the last few years my yearly income has declined each year.

My wife was recently diagnosed with a degenerative retinal disease which has affected her vision and thus is no longer able to continue her career as an English teacher. Although she gets disability money each month (basically only half of what she was making), this puts the onus on me to really support the family.

I can't begin to tell you how ready I am to stop trading my time for money. I am dying to make money from the internet. The internet is the future, I realize that, and I want to be a part of it. Marketing on the internet is not only more cost-effective than traditional marketing, but I realize that it can reach far more people. I don't really know how to get started with it but I do know that I NEED TO GET STARTED!

I plan on using the information in the market annihilator program to get my bootcamp programs overflowing with clients and even forming a waiting list. I also plan on using it to sell hundreds of thousands of copies of my e-book and paperback book. I plan on getting more publicity and turning it into more sales, more bootcamp members, etc.

Now the fun part–what will i do with the extra money? First I will buy a bigger house for my family and I. Then I will look into buying a house down at the Jersey Shore (right on the beach–this has always been a dream of ours). We will take 4 vacations a year. I will buy a large flat screen TV. I will also spend some of that new money on educating myself even more with fitness business products.

Well Chris–that's what I have for you! Thanks so much for putting on a contest like this. So far I have really loved reading your blog and all of the great information you put out. And I will continue to be a loyal reader regardless of what happens from this contest.

My email address is; kevin@thefitnessleader.com

Thanks again Chris,

Kevin Valluzzi, B.S., ACSM

Hi Chris,

I'm Carlo Selorio from Sydney Australia. I'm currently getting my qualifications as personal trainer here in Sydney.

I've just ran into your blog as I was preparing myself in advance to be up in running when I get my certications in Personal Training.

I was working for one of the biggest retail companies in australia when they decided to let go of me and my team. Its been tough financially for me since I'm providing for my wife and 14 month old baby boy Ethan.

I know that I can dominate and a have a six figure income when I implement your marketing tactics.

I'm already ranked 2nd in google for Fitness Training Authority and I'm targeting a few more keywords to rank first in a few more targeted keywords in my area.

Thank you for considering me.

Regards,
Carlo Selorio

Hi Chris,
My name is Chelsea Cooper, I have been following your blog for a couple of months and I love the practical information. YOur videos are great and informative and the way you partner with other successful entrepreneurs in the fitness arena is very motivating. The 5 things Successful Entrepreneurs have in common is something I look at everyday to remind what I should be doing.

I actually heard about you from Bedros, because I subscribe to his newsletter. To be honest it seems a little overwhelming to me when I think about getting a blog maintaining it, and still training everyday.But I know that once I actually do it, and dive into im going to be fine. And I also know that the internet is the present and the future.

I do have a website and I'm on facebook and some other social sites, and I have a Newsletter, but I know I am not using them as effectively as I should. My business is doing well, but I am a one 'woman' show, so if I dont show up I dont get paid. I think you said thats not a business its a job. and I want a business, and I do see my business growing but I dont want my hours to increase.

I am very dedicated to helping my clients and love fitness and seeing how it transforms lives. I know with the Market Annihilator System I can help more people, and learn alot as well.

As for what I will do with all the extra cash. I want to be able to help my parents with there bills and living expensive. they have worked hard all there lives, and I want to give back. So thats what I will do with some of it and the rest maybe take a couple of trips

Keep sending great information and I'll keep using it!
Take Care!!
Thanks Again,

Chelsea

Personal thank you cards really work. I run and own a small and personal fitness business and work one to one with clients and I also do group fitness in Boxercise, with Kick

Oh I'm from Scunthorpe, England

Hey chris,

Ive been following your blog for quite some time now. I also follow you on twitter. Im 20 years old and been a personal trainer for about 3 years now. I worked at a health club for 2 and a half years and until this past december I decided to go on my own and run bootcamps. Now they're not thriving, but they do pay bills. I feel with your help they will be thriving. I moved to the big city from a small town of about 9,000 people. Im trying to make something for myself and family back home. I just pulled out a small loan to be able to see you and the rest at summit. Its hard being young in this industry especially going agais 20 yr vets in this city. I live in San Antonio TX. Thank you for the opportunity. I appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jonathan Acosta

Chris,

Why is marketing online important? Best way to reach the maximum amount of people for the time and money spent -hands down.

How will I use the program? I'll use the program to help me dominate my market and keywords. I am on the first page for most of them, but only #1 for a couple. That sucks! I'll use it to achieve excellence in my copywriting and conversion. And I'll use it to build my business to the point I can work when I want and with who I want.

What will I do with the money? Whatever the heck I want! Specifics? Pay off all my debt, including my mortgage. Buy my wife that Red 65 Mustang Convertible she always wanted. Make sure the kids in the youth center have what they need. After that? Take my Night Train out to SoCal and see what McCombs is really up to.

Make It Happen!

Dean

Just found your website yesterday through Jim Lambadie and it got me totally fired up!
I immediatly made a blog, wrote my goals down, got a YouTube and facebook pace. Cant wait to make your advice work.

Greetings from the netherlands,

Yara

We virtually have no web presence and desperately need help. Today's market, while presenting unique challenges, is still full of people who want and need our help. But with the extraordinary cost of traditional advertising is is becoming more difficult to get our message out. Please help.

THIS SITE CHANGED MY LIFE!

It`s actually not a kiss-ass stategy.

Im a Norvegian strength coach besides my studies of osteopathy.

Well, my business started more as a hobby, but after reading this site I realized that I had to change several aspects of my life to actually REALIZE my passion for training and LIVE by doing what I love to do.

Marketing is only one piece of the puzzle and Chris has thought me a lot about copywriting, making killer headlines, etc. which has made a huge impact on my business when I put it to life.

But THE most important valuable lessons has actually been how to structure the day and get the most out of the time used on the business. After reading recommended books, like "The Power of Full Engagement" and the "4 Hour Work Week", this has changes drastically.

MY EYES FINALLY OPENED AND I STARTED TO SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Norway is a small country, and for every 1000 possible prospects you have in the states, I have about 1. That`s actually not far from the truth.

Even so, the stategies used so far have blown me away and now my email is going through the roof.

My dream is my own gym, but beside my studies I dont have the solution for this today, so I hope the program could give me that opportunity.

Best,

Eirik

Chris,

First I am a new trainer, and bootcamp owner/instructor.

Second, my previous career was as an IT guy. I have recently connected with Kickbacklife.com and several other sites and learned more about internet marketing & specifically making cash on the internet in the last 90 days than I did in my first 12 years in Internet development.

I am diving right in and have launched 3 sites in the last 30 days learning in trial by fire at the moment. I am geared up to attend the Fitness Business Summit with you in May.

Don't ask, don't get right…

Please consider me for the Market Annihilator program.

Hey,
i am new to your site but i have been following it for about a month now. Great info and just awsome strategies to follow. I work inthe fitness industry and have been a personal trainer for years. I have worked at the most corperate facilities adn just harted it. I hate the meetings I hate the repots and the "corp" structure. Its all BS butt kissing and noone cares about the next guy. Training is my love , as well as my Girlfreind and family. I also love Surfing and skateboarding and grew up on the lower east side on NYC going to harcore shows at cbgb's.. so obviously i dont think with the mainstream. I was kinda "moved"out of my last trainig job because i was working only 4 days a week but pulling inthe most cash for the company. Shows you how they just want to use us like hampsters on a wheel till we tire out and then move the next guyor girl in. Now i run a health club THE WHOLE DAMN THING. I love it because i run it my way BUT its not mine. So i started running my Crossfit. Were not open yet,. but soon. I need to learn your structure for internet marketing so i can run my crossfit make my money and not be there 24-7.m I love being my own boss i love going to work in boardshorts converse and a punk t shirt throwing around the iron pumping people up and talking about what i love. I need your system so i can make 6 figures go to costa rica surfing come back and still make it. I am a trail blazer, a dirty bird, a raven.. I dont mind being the guy in the front line taking it on the chin. But its now my time to make the moeny for me for my future family and for a life that i deserve. Lets get moving dude i should win and you know it.

Hey Chris, I'm Emily from Tennessee. I've only been following your blog for a little while now so I haven't had a chance to implement any of the things you talk about… yet.

I've been training a little over three years. I started in a large franchised gym (not fun), then moved to a smaller community gym, and last year went out on my own (and I absolutely love being my own boss). Right now I train my clients in their homes and take all the equipment with me.

I'm currently pregnant with my first child (I could have him any day now) and I really value my family. From what I've read you are the same way… My husband is a teacher, so we don't have a ton of cash lying around and with a baby on the way we have to be really smart with our money.
I'm not a fan of leaving my son at a daycare all day while I go off to work – life's too short and kids grow up way too fast for that. I want to raise him and see him grow up. So, my main goal is to get to a point where I can work minimal hours during the week, make a significant financial contribution to our family, and still see all the major milestones in my son's life firsthand.

My other main goals for my business are: to make enough money to pay off my family's debt so my husband doesn't have to get a second job, build up a much larger client base, and eventually get to a point where I can open my own small gym and run it the way you run yours, Chris.

I know a decent amount about marketing offline, but I have a hard time with the online side of things. I don't even know where to start with regards to making a website and things like that. There's a lot of info out there and it's hard to know what REALLY works and what doesn't without spending a fortune on trial and error. I know your program is the real deal and could help me in this area.

Since my time is about to be very limited with regards to devouring as much marketing information as you did to learn all the things you've learned, it would be really beneficial to learn everything from your program and not have to bounce around from program to program. And since we're financially strapped at the moment, the free part doesn't hurt either.

Thank you so much for this opportunity and for the consideration! Whoever wins this is getting the deal of the century!!

Thanks a ton,
Emily Wells, CSCS, CPT

Hey Chris,
Love your stuff man, I keep in touch with what you are doing at all times. Your Market Annihilator has me very interested. I have been following Bedros for couple of years and that is how I came across your stuff.

I am located in Omaha, NE and I own the largest boot camp in the tri-state area. We train on average about 120 people per month. We have rocked the internet marketing around here for the last 4 years but competition is getting steep. I need to keep learning and pushing the limits of our in-bound and out-bound marketing.

On top of that we are opening a new training facility in May that is sure to rock this city. My goal is 7 figures but I am going to need your help to do it. I would appreciate your consideration for the Market Annihilator.

Thanks for your insight,
Corey

Hi Chris!

I'm new to your stuff but you come highly recommended by Bedros so you must be very good!

Marketing my business online is super important because online marketing systems work 24/7/365 and don't require sick pay or benefits. When I have a great site with high rankings and tons of visitors who convert to clients/customers, I can make $$ while I sleep by selling health & fitness e-books, products and services. I understand that I need to have multiple streams of income in order to live my dream and having a strong presence on the internet is the gateway to creating HUGE streams of revenue for me (also I'm scheduled to start my lease for my new group training studio May 1st and will be opening up my services to more than 6 times my current client load. The sooner I get near full, the sooner I will hire training staff to help me change my corner of the world, so I can take a much needed vacation .

I will use your Market Annihilator Program to be on the top of the first page of the search engines for local training studios & nutrition programs, dramatically increase my web-presense & traffic, educate, educate, educate people on health & fitness, dominate my market and enter WDM (as Bedros coins it). I will market small grou training in my studio (eventually multiple studios), summer bootcamps, e-books, corporate fitness systems, nutrition programs, and natural nutrition supplements for starters. Then I will continue to think about how I can improve my business daily with your help and guidence.

Whawill I do with the $$? Hmm…So aside from a great 2 week vacation I will take in Australia/New Zealand, I will buy myself a nice Harley to take a long road trip with some friends!… And buy a ski-sin/ski-out winter cabin in Sun Valley, Idaho…. Of course I'd like to give back to the community and create a huge public awareness program stressing lifelong healthy nutrition and exercise habits vs crappy fads and quick-fix pills.

Basically, I will use your Market Annihilator Program to create the kick-back life and find balance!

Thanks so much for this opportunity!

PS. If you check out my current website, you'll see I need a lotta help!

Hey Chris,
I believe that I have what it takes to be your next star pupil. I have the desire, the experience (13 years training), and the location that will take me to the high 6 to 7 figure income that I deserve! All I need is a plan, and I think that you have that plan. I know that the internet will play a big role in reaching these goals that I have. I am starting to put together my social proof sales copy, something that I learned from you….this is very powerful stuff, and my competition won't stand a chance with their crappy brochure style websites. I am just now starting to incorporate small and large group training, and I feel like an idiot for not doing this 10 years ago. 1/3 the cost to the client and 3 times the amount of money for me! Genius!! I would love to learn how to outsource my training like you do and only train when I want to. Chris, I'm your man, and I'm ready to Annihilate my market in the ATL!!

To introduce myself briefly, I’m Rebekah, 23-year old female from St. Petersburg, Florida – and I have just recently tapped into the Fitness Industry. After losing 45lbs myself, I learned how fitness can not only make your BODY look better, but how important “loving oneself” really is for your self-esteem. Through my own personal journey, it was almost like a wake-up call to become a trainer. I had always wanted to be a teacher – however, I also always loved the idea of “business”, so I will went after a degree in International Business in college.

In order to get started in the fitness industry- I obtained my certification and began training in an all-female gym. However, every moment that I walked into the gym, my mind was turning with ideas on how “I could do something better this, and how I could make more money by doing this”. Entrepreneur-ism is in my blood.
By marketing my fitness business on the Internet – I will be able to increase my cliental and make a name for myself within my community. I hope to incorporate my own personal training methods and hold Bootcamps throughout the week. Each day, I wake up and think of new and innovative ways for my business. If I was given the opportunity to use the Market Annihilator program – I would simply KILL IT here in Florida. With the all the expertise included in the program, I would be able to take my “love for training” and my “passion” for the field and dive head-first into my business.

Once I join, and I’m making more money- you better believe I am going to open up a studio for my clients. Afterwards, I’m going to tap into the Fashion industry (another passion of mine) and dive head first into that – hoping to create workout clothing that is attractive, yet comfortable too. In addition, I would love to compete in a Fitness Competition myself.

When I began my journey at the all-female gym, my fitness director sat me down and said “If I had to say something about Rebekah, I would say that she is the only person that has come through this program who utilized EVERY SINGLE tool we gave”…

I will not just read through your program if given the opportunity – I will absolutely 100% implement it into every action that I take.

Chris,

Thanks for holding this contest. I think like a lot of your current MA members, I've gotten my investment back many times over already, not just in money generated, but in time saved. And to be honest, I'd be posting that even if there wasn't a contest. Your program is AWESOME!

Before I was at the mercy of the SEO "Experts" that were changing me a friggin' arm and a leg every month and then telling me to "be patient, but write me a check for next month…"

I've been able to implement some of your tips right away and see significant changes in my Google ranking literally overnight in some cases. Other good stuff has helped add multiple links on the Holy Grail of the Google first page!

Pretty damn cool…

But, I'll be honest, I'd love to learn more BUT I have a couple of problems…

Reason #1 My dog (now) three-legged dog Chompers has a HUGE-@ss vet bill from last month. Poor guy managed to get hit by a car and the vet had to cut off one of his back legs. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but it was his right leg and he's blind in the right eye (long story, but there was beer drinking and bottle rockets involved…)

So what's the deal? a three legged dog that's blind in one eye? I grew up on a street with a old guy (Mr. Hayes) that had a dog just like Chompers…

Well, the problem is that the blind eye and the missing leg are on the SAME SIDE…so everytime I take poor Chompers out to do his "stuff", he can't see any trees or bushes out of the blind eye, only the other side – so you can see where this is going…poor Chompers sees the bush out of his good eye, AND THEN TRIES TO LIFT HIS GOOD LEG TO PEE!

It was really funny the first three or four times he fell over, until I realized that he was actually peeing all over himself…which really ticked off my old lady. She's pushing me to get rid of Chompers and put him down, but he's an awesome (three-legged) pooch (even if he does smell like piss)

Reason #2 – My old lady's mother also just moved in with us. Now that may not seem like a bad thing, but she's crazier that bat sh^t…little old Japanese women with no teeth and totally demented. Walks around our cramped 1 bedroom apartment and keeps screaming at poor Chompers in some type of pseudo-Japanese lingo. Which is kind of cool 'cause her lips keep moving and don't always match up with her voice, JUST LIKE IN THE FRIGGIN' MOVIES!

The downside, it that she literally scares the p^ss out of poor Chompers. I came home last night and that poor dog is hopping around the room howling and yapping while crazy-@ss mother-in-law is makin' like Bruce Lee and trying to karate-chop poor Chompers in two. Honest. I'll be posting the video on YouTube later to prove it…

So yeah, I got a three-legged dog and a crazy-@$$ mother-in-law. I need all the help I can get…

Hey Chris,

I have to say the number one thing I got from you that has helped me kick ass is the google business listings. It was a huge oversight on my part. Now I'm the number one bootcamp website in my market. My site is getting constant traffic and I'm getting new leads everyday! Even the jerks that copied my model and piggybacked the name of the camps are getting left in the dust!

I have to say I've been following your blog for quite some time now and I love the laid back kick ass feel. I wanted to join the last Market Annihilator Program program but those pesky $400/month student loans are a bitch! I've been training for six years now, I own my own PT business and I've been managing a couple small clubs for the past two years.

You see I live in the frozen tundra of Fargo, North Dakota, and the whole internet marketing thing really hasn't caught up to the business here yet, so that's why taking advice from your blog allows me to soak up all the fricken internet glory up here and I must say its fun dominating a market. I continue to tweak and touch up my sights and I got many more project in the wings waiting to take off and be on top thanks to your awesome stuff.

Thanks Chris!

"CRIPPLED EX-BOUNCER DODGES BILL COLLECTORS BY CHANGING STATES AND STARTING A TRAINING BUSINESS THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY UNTIL A CRAZY EX-POT DEALER REVEALS THE SECRETS TO KICKIN' ASS AND GETTING SOME MOTHER-F*CKIN' MONEY!"

(Aight, yo. I told you on Twitter this was gonna be a long one…)

First off, before I was a personal trainer I was a bouncer. Then I did some math. I’m a big dude, but let’s figure there is one guy out of a hundred tougher than me.

I bounced out from 5-15 people a night working in rough bars. Let’s say 5 on average. That means once every 20 nights I was getting my ass kicked. Since it didn’t happen that often, I knew I was in for a fall sooner or later.

So I look like what I am, a scarred up dude who has been hit with beer bottles and pool cues, knocked out while I was pissing at a urinal (still gotta use a stall), and stayed out 7 nights a week until dawn.

In short, not someone your average mom would look to as a trainer.

I managed to talk my way into being the strength and conditioning coach at a private volleyball club in exchange for being able to train clients during the day when the facility was normally empty.

But without the bizness skillz, I wasn’t making it.

Started a morning bootcamp at 5am. But with no car, I was getting up at 2am to WALK 6 miles to the gym (at 5,000 feet elevation)(in winter) to teach my HUGE bootcamp with 4 whole clients paying $90 a month.

I grabbed a few personal training clients here and there, but only signed them up for a few sessions a month, with no contract.

Average monthly income: $600 bucks. Rent and electric: $550. That meant I was living off of garbage from 7-11 because after walking 12 miles a day I didn’t feel like the couple extra to find a supermarket.

Oh, and there were a few months where I didn’t have electricity, either. (Cold showers at 2:15am before I walked to a job that didn’t pay my bills. Not fun)

Right, I also lost my bank account and maxed out my credit cards. Means if I was going to change things, it would have to be with free marketing.

Then Jim Labadie mailed out Chris’s Market Annihilator launch stuff. Hilarious, content-filled videos from another guy who was unemployable and so had to start his own business. My kind of mentor.

Watched all the videos, read almost all of the blog stuff, listened to the audios, and then started looking for whatever I could find for free from the resources he mentioned (no bank account, remember!).

Started a blog. Added some “social media sex appeal”. Got some clients in for consultations from that, but I couldn’t sign them up.

So I re-read “How To Overcome Common Personal Training Business Frustrations.” Chris recommended improving sales skillz.

Someone paid me 60 bones to help them move for 12 hours one Saturday. My options: Get some booze or give it to my girlfriend to order Bedros’s Close Clients System. One would help me forget my situation for a while and the other would help me get out of the situation for forever.

Wasn’t even a tough choice.

Now I can close packages. That one piece of advice from Chris, to improve sales skillz, has already improved my life.

Then I’ve put everyone on EFT. I don’t have that much coming in, but for the first time EVER, I know I’ll have enough to cover my rent for next month. That is so cool I can hardly believe it.

Everyone has always told me not to do anything for free, that it devalues my expert status. Follow Chris and Steve Hochman’s advice, I’ve signed on some “human billboard” clients for free, in exchange for referrals and great testimonials.

(And two of them are models that are going to let me use their photos)

These free sessions are generating a few leads every day, because I ask them to post about me on their myspace blogs and facebook statuses.

Switching to half hour sessions has also completely revolutionized my day, and I make all of my human billboards double as coaches to take people through the warm-ups and cardio stuff. (Learned a LOT about this from a bonus video Bedros makes available to his Close Clients customers)

I’m now paying 26 bones for referrals, cash, as soon as someone signs. My two secrets for this are cash in the mail that day, not a discount on next month’s training or a check at the end of the month. They get a wad of cash with more refer-a-friend cards inside.

And the 26 bucks? It’s in $2 bills. So when they pay for something and the cashier asks where they got the weird bill from, my referrer can tell them about my bizness.

One of the posts on Chris’s blog talks about sending a lotto ticket with a “Thanks A Million” note to new clients. I’m sending mine to their workplaces with the refer-a-friend certificates AS WELL AS a note that if they win, they have to sign up for my Lifetime Luxury VIP membership for 20 grand.

The Lifetime Luxury VIP Membership is a “red herring” to distract from my fees. It will go up as soon as I have more members. Probably no one will go for a lifetime supply of all my services and training and classes, but if they do, I can just figure their upkeep into my overhead and have a 20k bonus to either grow my business or invest in lifestyle.

Why the red herring? Well, personal training with me is like 300 bucks a month, when the gym down the street sells monthly memberships for $10. I have to make the 300 look cheap so I place it next to a $20,000 item.

New clients also have to sign a sense of humor agreement. I send a photocopy of their agreement to their work along with a list of “jokes that might get you in trouble.” And a refer-a-friend card, naturally.

Oh, I’ve worn a cape that says Super Luke and taken pictures. Next on the list are certain days each month where anyone can bring a friend and I dress like a different musician and the music rotation is filled with their music. (For Jimmy Buffet day, we’re going to have protein margaritas afterward.) I’ll take pictures on these days and then send them a copy to their work.

I’ve put in place an unheard of solid platinum you’ll see results or your money back double guarantee.

The first is a 30 day no questions asked. Here’s my plan to keep those refunds to a minimum (besides results and excellent service, of course)

Day 1: Pile of swag to take home. Cookbook, nutrition log, stretch manual, home routine for off-days.

Day 3: Stick letter talking about soreness and wanting to quit.

Day 5: Thanks a Million letter to work

Day 7: Shopping list and one to give to a friend

Day 10: Old newsletters

Day 13: Importance of social support report, with a note to give their friends

Day 16: Note extolling all the cool stuff about my bizness

Day 20: Seminar handouts from an old speech I gave (“Others paid over a hundred bucks for this info, but I want you, my valued client, to have it for free”)

Day 21: Bring a friend coupon.

Day 23: Look for an importance announcement in the next few days postcard.

Day 25: Tell them I’ll send them a SUPER GIFT in just two weeks (Yes, that is a week after their 20 days is up. If they quit, they won’t get the gift! C’mon, I should win for this tip alone)

Day 27: Note telling them how awesome they’re going to look in a few months.
Day 30: Before-and-after photo packet

That’s in addition to phone calls, texts, emails, etc.

Your advice to carry a flip cam is GREAT! I used pretty much all of my discretionary funds from 2 months to buy the cheapest one at Best Buy.

My videos are now ranking high for my keywords on google, and I found a lot more kw by going to the direct response fitness websites you’ve mentioned and looking at their source code.

(Still don’t have a way to pay for a real website or email service yet, but I will soon and then I’m going to KILL everyone on google with this stuff!)

I recorded me talking about my guarantee and sense of humor agreement and put them through tubemogul. My blog is getting traffic from these videos, but I’m just getting started.

Also started a big fat systems binder after reading the e-myth books you recommended. Marketing systems, training systems, etc. I am creating fill-in-the-blank call to actions and headlines after reading everything by John Carlton and Eben Pagan I can find (If you’d introduced me to these guys alone, it’d be worth a TON of cash. Just for the heads up)

Working on creating “portal programs” to get people in and get them to know, like, and trust me. Four people have already asked to reserve spots for a $400 once a week nutrition class that will run for 3 months (ending before memorial day).

I hate talking on the phone, but I’ve been calling people and telling them how awesome I am. I’ve gotten leads this way. A big deal is ignoring the discomfort from going outside my boundaries, just like I’d ignore a pebble in my shoe. (A lesson from “The Game” another book Chris recommends)

There is a lot more I’m doing (free Saturday bootcamp, partnering with businesses, sandwich board at the nearest intersection, flyers all over the place, introducing myself to strangers, etc. Massive action, yo!) but those are the big things. Just having enough coming in to pay the rent and eat something NOT from 7-11 has improved my life tremendously.

What would I do with the coin from killin’ it with the market annihilator program? Spend it on drugs, prostitutes, and making illogical bets on Mexican Cockfights.

Probably waste some of it too….

Chris,

I joined your Market Annihilator through the Boot Camp Blueprint. To say I have been blown away is an understatement.

Let me rewind…September I was overworked underpaid and was fed up with my job at the health club of over 3 years. That is when I went to the Ryan Lee Boot Camp and shortly after joined the BCBB. Pat, Nick, Jim and BJ pointed me in the direction of your MA program…one problem…I WAS TAPPED! I didn't have the $1 in my account to join the special for BCBB members! I WAS BROKE! My account was in the negative. I was worried I would miss the window!… So finally I got paid and my account was no longer in the negative. I joined! Can you believe I could afford a DOLLAR! Neither could I!

So what did I do to make more money?

I quit my job as a trainer at the health club and launched my own fitness boot camp biz.

Shortly after I launched a free blogspot blog and using many of your You Tube tricks quickly gained numerous spots on the first page of google for "Boot Camp Simsbury" and "Simsbury Boot Camp"

One of my videos or PRs or blog posts now control the ENTIRE page of google for "boot camp simsbury" or "simsbury boot camp"

My website was recently completed (last Thursday) by Allen Hill (guy rocks!). I used your headline tips for my main page and the opt-in rate for my 2 week trials has been MONEY!

Before I ever had the site up I went from 31 campers at my first camps Jan. 12 to 75 campers last week. All in less than 1 MONTH! This is mostly through referral marketing. I was honored by being named PTU Member of the Week 2 weeks ago but have not stopped there.

I have begun to use your tips on outsourcing small tasks to clients…I have a client who recently created all of my labels from a FREE mailing list of over 4500 I received from a client. Another client is doing biz to biz phone calls for me. I have asked all my clients to look for another evening location for my camps as I am OUT OF ROOM!

And that takes me to today…I am going to be moving in to my own killer warehouse space that I will call MY HOME! I WANT TO KILL IT! I have another PT biz next door and another down the street and my old health club up the road…I WANT TO ANNIHILATE all of them.

I need to dig into dominating my web presence!

I am working on two info products to launch next month and want to make sure I do this RIGHT!

I not the most computer savy person and do well with a Coach (the whole athlete thing). I know with the extra push nothing will get in my way.

Chris, I am SICK and tired of watching my mother struggle to make ends meet.

I am SICK of hearing about the ECONOMY.

I am sick of being in debt.

My company is only a little over a month old and I want to do everything in my power to create a lifestyle I can enjoy. Train 20hrs a week and the rest runs on outpilot is what I WANT…I want to spend more time hanging out with my 2 yr. old Boxer Bruschi (Pats fan!)

I want to take all the money from this program and….

Pay off my $65,000 college loan debt.

Pay off my $6,000 of personal debt.

Give my mother a lump sum of $ to help her retire EARLY

Call my brother the United States Marine Sergeant Robert P. English and tell him that he doesn't have to reenlist just so he gets a big money bonus, that his brother will take care of him.

Help my family whenever I can!

I want to buy my OWN place and stop renting.

Buy my father a NEW Harley (though he loves his 83' Shovelhead Police Edition w/ straight pipes!)

Chris, I could go on and on about the things I will do with this opportunity.

You tell me what to do and I will make it happen!

Thank you for this opportunity!

Hello! First of all I will say all the tips I've been reading about i've been implementing with results that swing up and down. I just started my BootCamp program Feb 2, 2009 with 1 client after posting flyers and word of mouth advertising! I was down at first but then I realized: 1. " hey I have a great product that everyone looking to get in the best shape of their life needs but doesn't have!" 2. Although I'm training in Temple Hills, MD my only client was traveling from Baltimore, MD-which is about 45 minutes away. That let me know something; that either I was onto something and it was signs of what was to come or I just lucked up to snag this 1 client. Well I started training her as if I had a room full of clients to train and I stayed positive-and then it happened! 1 by 1 the people started showing up. I started receiving calls from my ads on Facebook and Craigslist. I even made me some signs (couldn't afford to buy signs) from poster boards I bought from Staples and hung them all over town. Some folks ripped them down but I still have a few that are still hanging up and calls are coming in more and more! I ran a Valentines day 2 for 1 Special to drive more business and when nobody took advantage of that promotion I decided to run the promotion through the end of the month. Now the phone is ringing, the emails are coming in and slowly but surely the people are coming in and signing up. I'm gaining business off of referrals but I know if I was to win this contest somehow it would help to take my business to the next level! I'm the only trainer as a matter of fact I do it all! I'm a 1 man show and I need some help-but I have $0 working capital to purchase any of the programs. I'm taking advantage of all the free information and advice you're sending out and it's helping me but I know it's so much more! I WILL PROGRESS AND BUILD THIS BUSINESS TO BECOME ONE OF THE BEST PERSONAL TRAINING/BOOTCAMP WORKOUT STUDIOS ACROSS THE LAND! New Life Fitness Concepts where we train your mind as well as your body is here to stay!

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hi Chris,

I'm a personal trainer in Sydney, Australia. I've visited your website and blogs many times but what caught my attention was your latest vid on "applying for a PT job". It made me realise how easily we are placed into a category based on appearance and "what we do or have done in life", rather then focusing on the Who We Are! From the comments I have read, your purpose in life is to help, motivate and lead others. Being a holistic coach as well, I know the importance our way of thinking, or more importantly, our shift in thinking, can help us all live a healthier and happier life.

Your program has come very very highly recommended by a "mentee" of yours – Adam Toohey, the thunder from down under trainer based in Toronto. I only just spoke to him today and he had nothing but praise for you.

Apart from working as a PT, I am running a women's outdoor training business with a partner. However, I am just about to kick off another business focussing on women, bootcamps and adventure tours! I need MA to kickstart this new business with full force from the word go.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Susan

This may just be the most popular PT post on the web right now..

Hi Chris,

I've been reading your blog for a few weeks now and the information you give out is great.

If I was to get a free year of coaching I would definatly put it in to action.

My site ranks on the first page of google for my area but I'm not seeing the return from this. I would say my copy sucks but I'm not sure how to improve this.

I am picking up clients (slowly) but its not enough for me to feel comfortable, I feel like I'm living client to client.

Maybe its the area I'm in, that shouldn't be an excuse but I'd like the chance to be shown that its not.

I'm not one for going on about this or that but I would put 100% into the program and you would not regret it if you chose me.

Hi Chris
Yet again you come up with the goods and dangle a carrot that’s on sted’s
Why am I up for it? my reason is pretty simple.
I need help. Big style!

I have two sites up and running at about 20% of their potential and one other product that is 70% finished. The reason being, as a full time College Lecturer, part time Gym Supervisor and father to a junior motorcycle racer, time is scarce. In my head and on a little paper I also have 2 hugely potential niche fitness businesses that are just busting to get out. I read your articles, Blogs and watch your video’s I love your style, honesty and sticking it to the man attitude. I have learnt so much about what I need to do from both you and Ryan Lee but I always seem to be two steps behind where I need to be at
My businesses will be successful of that I am positive and I will one day be in a position to quit my job (pissed off does not do justice to it). With your personal coaching that day will soon be here. Your offer is awesome, too good to be true (apart from the fact it is true) and would provide both of us with something real special.
Keep up the great work; you are an inspiration to us all.

Cheers

Mike

We now routinely dominate the the Google search page for our main keyword Rancho Cucamonga Boot Camp usually holding 8-9 of the top 10 organic free spots and 35 of the top 40 spots.

Are boot camp is only 3 days a week, we make over 6 figures a year.

We now are doing local retail interviews, walked into a wine shop, did an interview with the owner and they sent the link out to their email list (2000 subscribers), we put in our pocket about 1k from new sign ups for camp the next day

We have no sales process, we never speak to a person until after they have paid for and signed up for camp. We do no personal training of any kind.

http://www.SeeItAsPerfect.com is the latest project we created and essentially we have a text service the sends out eating reminders (every couple hours) to our clients, That creates a buzz in their offices because everyone wants to see what the text diet has for them today.

We have learned from you to think farther out of the box

Thanks Chris,

Tony
See It As Perfect

Two wonderfully gifted trainers, one of which is also a massage therapist, are partnering to open a fitness facility in my area. They have put their faith in me to handle marketing and day to day operations. Because of their passion, I completely believe these two have the talent to make our community a better place. I want to make them succeed. I want them to be able to focus on what they love, by giving them the confidence that I will be handling my part. Your program can do that for me.

Hi Chris

Thanks for having this competition. It gives me the opportunity to try and get into your program.

I have been personal training for the last 2 years at a club which has 21 trainers so there is major competition to get clients. I would like to have a different edge to my competition. Living in Cape Town, South Africa the exchange rate is quite steep at R10 to the dollar which means signing up for your program will be quite expensive for me. The online industry with regards to personal training has not taken off here and I would like to tap into the market with your program as I feel it would allow me provide something different here in Cape Town.

Kind regards

Leor Williams

I've known about Chris for a year or so.
Every time I read Chris' stuff or listen to his talks, I feel 100 times more enthusiastic about succeeding. In the nicest possible way it gives me the firm boot up the backside I need to keep going. The testimonials from a range of different people prove to me that I'm not alone in my frustrations in this industry, and they inspire me to persevere towards more success.
I live and work in the North West of England. It is cold, dark and windy most months of the year. I need all the help I can get to make this business work. But I will.

I think marketing my fitness buisness online is important because…

- I can reach more people for less money.

- It is more efficient and cheaper than standard print or media advertising. Ex- pay per click. I only pay for people that finds interest in my service. No click no pay. LOVE IT

- More and more people are using the internet to get their information. I can reach more people that are looking for my specific service. It's Like having someone walk into your door and tell you they are ready to buy some training. Doesn't get any easier to get a qualified lead. With a lot of testimonials and some decent copy. They're going to be mine.

- Most important the internet is here to stay…then so is internet marketing. The internet has changed the way people shop for tangible goods AND services. More and more people are getting connected to the internet everyday.

I have just started using … and am going to continue to use the market annihalator program to…well to ANNIHALATE my market! I am going to wipe out any guessing or any question about who to go to for boot camps and personal training…

With all the extra money I am going to make I will do several things.

Well as for the next year I will…

- Get more mentors so I can continue to annihalate my market…and then some.

- Invest it back in my buisness to make more money

In 3 years I will…

- Have helped changed more lives than any other personal trainer in my area.

- Be going on vacations whenever I want.

- Spend no more than 15 hours in my buisness.

In 5 years I will

- be continuing all of the above

- showing other trainers that they too, with a positive attitude,a plan, and most important ACTION… can get what they want out of this one of a kind industry.

Thanks, O

I think the biggest thing that I've taken from your blog is to be PASSIONATE about living the life you want while truly HELPING people.

When I first saw your videos, I was thinking "Man this guy is just being himself." I'm WAY more drawn to that then all of those polished sales videos I see all over the place. You know the ones where some guy comes on with his quaffed hair and sparkling teeth? I HATE that crap.

I stopped trying to be perfect, and started DOING things. Sure I've got a lot of work to do, and things aren't perfect, but I'd still be procrastinating on every project if I hadn't seen, by example, what you do with your own business and products.

Who cares if my sales copy isn't quite right or if the layout of my site is a little off. I actually wrote sales copy for my boot camp AFTER READING YOUR SITE. I went out and filmed my boot camp, and now I've got a really cool training video on there. I WASN'T DOING ANY OF THAT BEFORE I read your blog!

Talking about how screwed up your life was is a huge inspiration to me. I had a pretty screwed up past and it makes me really FREAKIN' PASSIONATE about helping my clients. I want to give back what I've learned about life to those people. I don't want them to feel like crap or think they're losers – which many of them do when they first start out.

I can't do that if people don't even know about me or my business.

When I read your blog I ALWAYS want to jump on a project. Sometimes I don't even finish reading a post before I start coming up with a million ways to improve my business. My google ranking has gone from non-existent to the front page for two out of three search terms that I'm targeting – just by making a few adjustments!

Technical info is great, but without the EMOTIONAL INVOLVEMENT in my work, I wouldn't do nearly as well. I'm freakin' inspired man! I want to go out and crush my local market!

I don't want to worry about whether I'm going to eat from month to month, or whether I'll have the money to buy T-shirts for my business. I want to thrive so that my clients get the best version of me (and my future employees) that they can! I want to be able to take a day off, travel for the first time in my life, and save money for a future family!

I can't thank you enough for the info you've already given out. I signed up for the Kickback Lifestyle Club and already went out and found two people that are going to help me run my boot camps! I'm about to write my first ever employee manual!

I've already gotten 5 new clients in the past month from just offering to help people with training in return for referrals. Your stuff works!

You're FREE info has already made a major impact on my life. Thanks man!

Chris,

Before I get into why online marketing is important for my business I need to share my story with you. For the last 6 years I was always working FOR personal training studio's or health clubs and struggling to make ends meet.

Things got even more difficult financially when my daughter was born in 2007. I had a dream of owning my own studio but was making only $20/session working FOR someone else's studio, commuting 2 hours a day to and from work and working 12+ hours most days of the week.

I was leaving for work when it was dark while my wife and daughter still slept. I returned home when it was dark and past my daughter's bed time. I never had time to spend with my family nor the money to support them.

To say this also put a strain on my marriage would be a gross understatement.

I decided this was not the life I wanted and rather than lose my passion for what I love to do and be a slave to it working for someone else who controlled my future, I would have to take control of my future.

In a few months I built up my own core group of clients who wanted me to train them but I had no studio location nor would any of the local gyms allow me to do this.

So, I was offered a chance to train these people in their own homes. Making this change allowed me to more than double my income immediately. I also am able to pay my bills and have cut my work hours in half. Best of all, I'm saving money to reinvest in a studio by next year and I now have a business I can proudly call my own.

I've only been doing this for a couple of months and have already added 2 new clients. My goal is to get 10 more clients this year which will increase my income to $100k. I've never made more than $20k in my life.

This is a goal I completely plan on achieving.

So, why is online marketing important for me? For a number of reasons.

I don't get what you'd call "walk-in" clients off the street. But, most people use the internet when looking for information such as personal training. So, a strong online presence in my niche would allow me to really dominate my area for my services.

My clients refer me to people and it would help if they could go online and find me to get an idea of who I am and how I could help them.

Online marketing would allow me to get targeted leads for my services and then build a list of contacts through e-mail offers or a newsletter to keep me in front of them. That's a lot easier than trying to go door to door every few weeks asking if they remember me.

Online marketing would allow me to reach way more people without wasting all of my time or money on expensive advertising offline. It would free me up to work on other aspects of building my business.

As for plans for all the money I can make I will be able to re-invest in my business by:

-establishing a location for my first studio
-invest in my education to grow my business (seminars, hire mentors, etc)
-ultimately franchise my business

In 5 years from now I expect to have a successful franchise and help struggling personal trainers (like I used to be) become successful business owners and live the life of their dreams.

Chris, after reading your blog posts, articles and watching your videos I am convinced that your Market Annihilator program can help me accomplish all of this and more.

Thanks for all the information and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Kevin Yates

Chris,

Where do I begin……marketing is definitely my achilles heel in this business. Being able to participate in Market Annihilator would be a godsend for me because I definitely need help in this area.

I've been a training people for 8 years now and quite frankly, I'm tired of trading time for money. I'm also an accountant for the City of Detroit, which makes it very difficult to fully concentrate on turning my business into a real business instead of just "another job".

As you probably know, Detroit is an economically distressed area and most of the people who live in the inner city don't have the necessary means to afford professional instruction. Also, Detroit is consistently ranked as one of the fattest cities in the country every year. I want to make a bigger dent in that stat than I'm currently making.

I would like to transition from just 1 on 1 training to semi-private training and boot camps. Your program would definitely give me the leads I need to do that.

Semi-private training and bootcamps are more affordable for people in this area and no one is really reaching out to this demographic. Obviously, I'd like to consistently get qualified leads from people who can afford me but I also feel that there should be options for people who are a little further down the economic chain.

Being a participant in your program would allow me to:

-Gain the necessary tools I need to move towards generating enough income to quit my job.

-Change my business structure the right way

-Help as many people in inner city Detroit as possible

-Too many other things to name

Thanks for this opportunity

Reshawn

To begin with I want to say that I have just been exposed to your work and I definitely wish I would have known about it sooner!

I know without question that to have the success that I want to have in my business I have to have a powerful web presence and be able to attract interested leads both to my website and to my blog. Even though I have only gotten the opportunity to read through a few of your posts so far I can easily see that by using your methods I will get a tremendous amount of leads to my site! I am right in the middle of building my website so now is the absolute perfect time to learn the things your teach. With your system I believe that I can set it up to start dominating my market through the internet from the start. Ultimately, I love that being in this business we are given the opportunity to truly make a difference in peoples lives and the more people I can reach through the internet and other marketing the more lvies I can change.

I know that the money that I will make is going to make a tremendous difference in my life. I have been working for a fitness company for the past couple years building up all of their programs and making them money, but I have been doing the math lately and realized that with my own business I could work half the hours and make easily twice or three times as much money. With your help I am going to be able to quit working for "the man" and get the opportunity to see all of my hard work really pay off. I have also started to change the way I think about things because I have gotten very serious with my girlfriend and am at the point that I want to ask her to marry me, but I simply can't afford it right now. I have a certain life in mind that I want to be able to live and provide for my girlfriend and future family and I have to make a change right now to make this happen. I can't be the guy who works 60 to 70 hours a week to support a family that I never get to see. I know that by using the internet and your system in particular I can build a business that I own instead a business that owns me.

Sorry this turned into kind of a rant. I have just recently realized that I need to make a big change in my life and it all kind of came out as I started writing.

Thanks for the opportunity and one way or the other I am definitely going to start using your techinques to start building my business and my better life!

Chris I would have to tell you that with the Market Annihilator I sleep better at night knowing that I have this information at hand.

I am probably in the most competitive fitness market on the planet New York City and I have no problem getting 4-6 multiple listings on page 1 for my blog posts and boot camp videos.

When I started using wordpress and uploaded my template my site was actually down for 2 days but using your information not only did I get my site up but I jumped up 2 ranking for NYC Boot camps.

I am even creeping up the ranking for NYC personal trainer and I don't even do personal training anymore.

My site is basic I mean uber basic and not as flashy as some of the other boot camp websites in NYC but with the sales copy and my message my target demographic of no nonsense women age 25-40 immediately gravitate to my site.

The one thing they all say is that "you come off as real and you seem to be the solution to my problem without not trying to be too salesy and hype (hype does not go over well in NYC they just want the meet

google search results…

"nyc boot camps"

rank 3 and 4 video rank #9

"boot camps in nyc"
rank 2, 3, and 10

The saying is true if you can do it in New York City
you can do it anywhere. I am not a native New Yorker but I fully understand why that phrase was coined because competition is 10 times tougher and I am not worried one bit about the online competition in my demographic.

Thanks Chris for all that you do man.

I really appreciate it as it has made a difference in my business and personal life.

I haven't used any of your products yet but would really like to drive more traffic to my website/blog, improve opt-ins to my email newsletter, and start getting more business through the Internet. I believe it is the wave of the future and need to improve that marketing reach to increase the business for my training business, Bootcamps, and sport camp businesses.
The extra money would be used to travel more with my wife, spend more time with family and friends as well as investing more in other aspects of my businesses such as educating/training my staff, equipment purchases, etc.

Dear Chris,

I thoroughly enjoy your writing and can hear your voice in my head every time I read through your site!

First, let me take the opportunity to thank you for making my dream come true! I remember the first time I met you. We were in a friend of Sarah’s apartment and I asked you what you did. Before we were through, I was saying to myself, “I’m going to be a personal trainer like Chris Mccombs.” A couple more meetings and you got me rolling on my own like a real natural!

When you gave me the phone-sales script, all I had to do was read it off the freakin’ page, and clients would schedule an appointment, come into the gym, and sign up! It was too easy! Then, I remember one coaching call where you told me to “hound” my current clients for referrals. Well, as soon as I got over my fears and lack of confidence, I found that it really works! But, I think the coolest thing you have shown me is to be “fucking confident—even if you don’t feel like it!” Well, it works.

As far as the money goes, money doesn’t really motivate me. I’d rather have time than money. You know me; I’m a professional beach bum! Now I’m only training 11 hours a week, instead of 14, and making more money than ever before! But, I do like to give to charities, others in need, and I love paying for dinner and buying drinks for friends. I have started a personal goal that I call the “million-dollar giveaway” where I track how long it takes me to give away a $1,000,000 free and clear. 2020 is the projected completion date, but now that I’m following your advice, it may be sooner!

Since I’m recently engaged, my fiancé and I have dreams of doing much traveling. When before I thought that was a pipedream, now I see it as a soon reality! Follow your sheer marketing brilliance, and the small guy can be up there at the top.

Although I don’t see you much anymore, it’s been great to see Sarah. She always brightens my day and brings warmth and a smile to the gym. She’s a sweetheart; you sure lucked out!

These days, I’m saying, “I’m gonna be a marketer like Chris Mccombs!” This isn’t the longest post on here; however, it is the most sincere. Chris, you have made my dreams come true, and continue to do so! It’s all because of you, bro!

Thank you!

Your friend,

Davey

Well, here we go Chris.

Honesty out on the table, I have only scratched the surface of the Annihilator Program.

I got in when you first opened the program and was looking at going gun-ho. I started devoting my time toward other aspects as well to build my business such as landing public speaking engagements, going out and introducing myself to local businesses, and creating and posting flyers. The web presence was still something I knew have to done so a few weeks ago I took a step back and burrowed my way through the material.
Once I got started I really dug my way in. Right now I am putting out blog posts on a regular basis and getting the process down on how to really incorporate who I am into my work. I now see the blog is that outlet needed to get out my information through good stories that hopefully will catch the glimpse of others in my industry.
Without a doubt, everything that I had tried in the past I had to learn on my own and it put a freaking “scare” into me. The Annihilator program breaks it down each component into easy to understand pieces.
I know I still have a ways to go but now I am incorporating several websites where I can use one solely for the purpose of selling and the other for instruction. New websites are coming up for me in the near future with all the tips and tricks I have learned through the program. With all the money I am going to be making with the use of the program, I am going to have to take a trip to Hawaii or possibly Tibet. I always wanted to go there. Thanks for your help Chris and thanks to an awesome program.

Hey brother; glad I discovered you. It reassures me that I can realize my dream of becoming a $$$ succesful personal training business owner when I see a cool "average Joe" dude like yourself with a ton of ambition and drive to succeed. Thanks for the motivation and I look forward to all the great info I will recieve!

Hi chris,
My name is Diego Colon. I have been working as a personal trainer for a little over two years. I work for a corporate gym which i hate. The company I work for doesn't treat it's trainer very well which makes us struggle to get clients. I am tired of working long hours and not having much to bring home besides some gas money. I am tired of struggling to put food on the table for my family. If I won I would like to start my personal training company and book myself solid (with your help of course). While having new leads constantly coming in because I am that in demand. so that by end of the end the day I could work less while making more money.
