Fitness Affiliate Product Marketing Guest Post by Ryan Magin

Unlike most people that try to make it on the Internet by making their own product I want nothing to do with that, I hate customer service, dread emails, and really would rather kick back behind the scenes and collect my paychecks.

So how does one do all this and still make money?

The Answer is simple… Affiliate Marketing. I sell fitness products as an affiliate on the internet.

Now if you’re new to the Internet you probably aren’t familiar with guys like me who find products that sell, set up some review sites or write some emails, drive traffic to them, and people buy the product and I make 75% affiliate commission…

Its like magic they deal with shipping, customer service emails, and anything else involved with the process and every week I sit back and collect my check. To me this sounds like a no brainer, Remember the old saying “If You Cant Beat Em, Join Em” well

I came to the realization About 6 months ago that I am not going to out market Joel Marion, Vince Delmonte, Jason Ferruggia, Lean Hybrid Muscle, or any of the other powerhouses that are killing it in the fitness industry.

So I said to myself “why not just figure out new ways to sell their stuff?” … so that’s what I did. I sell their fitness products as an affiliate an make a nice commission, they get sales, a we both make money… it’s a win/win situation.

Now your probably wondering what kind of income one can earn as strictly an affiliate?

I’m going to get to that in a second, but first I want to tell you were I came from and why I chose this path to make my living.

About 3 years ago I was a door and window salesman at Lowes Home Improvement center making on average 50-60k a year.

Now at 21 years old I was living the life…

buying stuff I didn’t need…

…spending money at bars…

blowing it on girls… you name it I probably spent money on it.

But after 5 years of that slowly everyday I went to work a part of me was dying inside…

I hated being there for 10 hours a day selling stuff I could give two shits about.

So I did what most people including my parents called crazy…

I quit, walked out with no plan but a huge smile on my face.

I immediately went to work to find a new way to make a living and that was group training, you see I already was addicted to the iron and figured training people would be awesome, so I got some certs and was training them out of my garage. Well beside the 2 friends I was training I was still coming up way short on the income train and needed more clients.

Hers comes the internet, now everyday I was spending countless hours in front of my computer and while I should have been reading blogs like Big Chris’s and learning how to generate more clients to train, I was delving into the amazing world of Internet marketing and the endless income it can produce.

So after realizing I didn’t have as much passion for training others as I thought I delved into the world of product creation and information marketing, I made a training DVD To help BMX racers get faster on their bike.

This by no means was a huge success but it taught me what was possible when you make a product put it on the internet and you make money while you sleep (this just might be the best feeling in the world).

One thing about that market is that most 16 year old bmx riders don’t have credit cards… wish I woulda thought of that in first, but oh well, I made some nice sales and learned some major lessons…

… the main one being find out what people want and sell it to them.

So instead of making my own fitness or musclebuilding product I put my ego aside and started pushing other peoples stuff. This has treated me well so far, because as of right now I can honestly say I make a fulltime income on the internet. In the short time of 6 months I have gone from making next to nothing online to making an average of 75 to 100 bux a day.

Is it millions? nope not yet at least , but every month my number per day is increasing and will be at 6 figures in no time.

So now that I ‘ve told you why I think affiliate marketing is awesome… here are 3 tips on how to get started making money as an affiliate…

Step 1: Pick a product you know people are already buying, if your into building muscle Triple Threat Muscle by Jason Ferruggia is a good one and so is Vince Delmonte’s No Nonsense Musclebuilding.

Both of those pay 75% commission and are very good products.

Step 2: If you have a blog, make sure you do a really good review of whoevers product you decide to promote and if your feeling ambitious buy the product and make a screenshot video review and put it on youtube… here’s an example of a good review blog: Jason Ferruggia

Also make sure your blog is clearly designed to generate leads (aka emails), and include your product in a 4 email promo once they enter their name and email (for an example of how to capture emails check this page I use – Muscle Building)

Step 3: Take Massive Action… after you set something up, work your ass off to drive traffic and build your email list

Here are some of my favorite ways to drive traffic…

• Teleseminars
• Guest blog posts ( like this one)
• Videos
• And articles

Pick one of each and attack it for atleast 4 weeks and then move on to the next.

So lets say you choose video… make 1 video a day for 4 weeks all linking back to your site if you choose articles do 1 article a day, etc…

Don’t expect this to be a get rich over night process because you’ll be highly disappointed, but put in the work and you WILL see results.

Just dont expect anyone to understand you if you decide to tell what you do for a living.

Just smile and say you build websites, work on ebay, or do internet porn , because lets face… thats all anyone thinks the internet is anyway.
