Check out this video about something every serious fitness entrepreneur MUST get good at… it’s one of those “make it or break it” factors in your business

But before enjoying the video, check out what just happened to me…

Ok, so I’m here in Starbucks dutifully working away with my headphones on… and my iphone/ipod is rocking me out full blast as normal… partially because I love rocking out as much as David Lee Roth does… and partially because I don’t want anyone trying to talk to me… so rocking out helps me be more productive on many levels…

But here’s where it gets weird… People are looking at me… which is kinda normal dude to my size and funny haircut … but like a lot of people are looking at me… like everyone … and they look annoyed.

… Now I didn’t know my computer is ALSO cranking on full blast a new sales video I just made for a Fitness Freedom Formula upsell page, and EVERYONE in Starbucks can hear it… except me of course, cuz I’m rocking out with my headphones on… TOTALLY awesome…

Typical Big Chris scenario.

Anyhow, enjoy this video about something you GOTTA get good at if you wanna kill it in your fitness business… ( my assistant went a little crazy with the zooming in and zooming out… she musta been eating those funny looking mushrooms again) (more…)

A Fitness Marketing Video Blog Post from Chris McCombs

An Exclusive 68 Minute Step-By-Step Breakdown of the the Industry’s Highest Converting Most Client-Getting Website

Up until now this exclusive video was available ONLY to Market Annihilator members.

In it, I break down my SocalWorkout.com salescopy step-by-step and exactly why I wrote it how I did.

This website gets TONS of personal training clients into my business.

The thing is, it doesn’t even get that much traffic, sure it does well in the search engines for lot’s of long tail terms, and sure those are mostly from people ACTIVELY searching for personal training in my area.

The truth is the site doesn’t really get that much traffic, but the traffic it does get brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

This is a Fitness Internet Marketing Post By Chris McCombs

Here’s a video interview I did for my Market Annihilator members a few months back and I thought I’d share it with you here on the blog as well… Enjoy

As you probably know, I’m a huge fan of long salescopy and have been for a long time… the best conversions I’ve seen on a sales site ( not blog, but sales site) is from long copy with no nav bar links at the top of the page, it’s worked great for me for years… plus, all the content on the page gives you plenty of chances to stick in a whole bunch of variations of my main keywords, which is great for the search engines.

The biggest problem I’ve found with long salescopy is that it takes a while to learn how to do it properly, and often times people think that if they just make it long, that it’ll help with conversions… but rarely is this the case… bad copy is bad copy and almost always equals bad conversions… that’s why one method I suggest is headline, benefits, video, before and afters with testimonials, and a call to action. Simple and to the point.

Alright, I’ll let my friend Leanne take it from here – her post kicks serious a**…

Have you ever been on a cruise?  If not, you gotta go…  they’re the best deal in town.

I just checked the web.  You could book a 5-night cruise for two people with an upgraded ocean view room leaving from Miami for $600.  That includes taxes and port charges.  Alcohol and gambling are the only items not included.

Did you read that?  $600 for TWO people for FIVE nights!  EVERYTHING included.  And when I say EVERYTHING-I mean absolutely EVERYTHING!

5 nights in a luxury hotel room: A little smaller than you’re used to…but much nicer.  Maid service twice every day.  When you leave in the morning, they’ll clean and set it up for daytime.  When you go to dinner, they clean and set it up for night time-and put a little chocolate on your pillow.  It’s sweet.  Pun intended J

This is a Fitness Email Marketing Post by Chris McCombs

Hey there, hope you’re great…

I’m out in Orlando, just got done speaking at the Fitness Info Summit and now enjoying a few days with my family and the Keuilians and the Hochmans… we all have lil’ tikes and rug rats about the same age… so we’re hittin’ Disney World and all that kinda stuff.

I just wanted to get a quick blog post out to you to help you with your email marketing… here’s a few quick tips…

1. The subject line is what gets the email read… that’s all it’s supposed to do…

Most people are bombarded with emails, so you really need to get your subscribers attention… HOWEVER, the body of the email must in some way be congruent with the subject line… otherwise you’ll probably tick a bunch of people off who will feel baited and switched.

Here’s some of my subject lines that got the highest open rates, now keep in mind these may not work for you because of your niche or personality, I’m just showing what’s worked well for me in my fitness marketing business…

Hey… hope you’re good…

If you wanna get as many clients as possible from the internet, then you’re gonna wanna have web salescopy that converts ( converts visitors into???… phone calls inquiring about your services… or online registrations for your boot camps… or opt-ins to your email list… or money$$$ )

I don’t care if you’re sites are number one in Google, if you can’t convert your visitors into money at the end of the day… you’re #1 listings are worthless…

Here’s a video I made ripping into one of my salescopies so you can learn some of the tips, tricks and strategies myself and other high level copywriters use to convert as many visitors as possible.

It’s 47 minutes long and in it I share a TON of my favorite website conversion strategies…. definitely watch this video…
