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.

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,

isPermaLink="false">http://www.kickbacklife.com/?p=393#comment-1366</guid> <description>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&#039;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 &quot;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...
&quot;nyc boot camps&quot;
rank 3 and 4 video rank #9
&quot;boot camps in nyc&quot;
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.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.kickbacklife.com/?p=393#comment-1365</guid> <description>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 &quot;the man&quot; 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&#039;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&#039;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!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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!</p><p>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.

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&#039;ve been a training people for 8 years now and quite frankly, I&#039;m tired of trading time for money. I&#039;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 &quot;another job&quot;.
As you probably know, Detroit is an economically distressed area and most of the people who live in the inner city don&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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

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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;m saving money to reinvest in a studio by next year and I now have a business I can proudly call my own.
I&#039;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&#039;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&#039;t get what you&#039;d call &quot;walk-in&quot; 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&#039;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</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris,</p><p>Before I get into why online marketing is important for my business I need to share my story with you.
