Making Money From a Fitness Blog

"Anyone tells you that money is the root of all evil doesn't f*#king have any. They say money can't buy you happiness look at the f*&*king smile on my face ... ear to ear baby" --Ben Affleck Boiler Room Hey there, it's Big Chris... and today I wanna talk about making money... more specifically I wanna talk about one of my favorite ways to make money, and lots of it Now, personally I don't think money can make you happy, but it sure does make some shit easier... First of all, having money solves the problem of not having any money, and that's a damn good problem to have solved Money can give you freedom to do things you could never do without it. Having money allows you to not have to worry about having the bills paid next month It can allow you to own pretty much whatever you want... and while our stay on this earth here may be temporary, it sure is fun to have some cool toys to play with Money can allow you and your family to live in a safe area... to drive cars that are new and nice and reliable... to be able to have your kids go to private school... and basically provide an all around better life for those and the ones you love And if your a guy, money can increase your level of attractiveness to the opposite sex, I mean, as men, two of our jobs is to provide and protect right? Both very hard to do if you have no money... so without it, your value to the opposite sex can diminish greatly... maybe your tall enough, interesting enough, mysterious enough, cocky enough, good looking enough, confident enough and funny enough to get by without any money... but trust me, having money can never hurt in this department. Money allows you to help a lot more people than you could ever could with just your time... you could spend some time each week working at a soup kitchen and help feed a few hundred homeless dudes once in while, but if you donated enough money you could feed thousands or tens of thousands or more EVERY SINGLE DAY if you wanted... while still spending your time doin what YOU want to do. Without money people wouldn't be able to hire personal trainers, eat healthy foods, travel, shop, buy gifts for others, own cool stuff, wear nice clothes, spend weekends in Vegas, hire coaches, contribute to worthy causes, and basically do and experience a lot of cool things that can make life just that much more fulfilling Having money allows you to create a better life experience for yourself and those around you Now there's lots of cool ways to make money.. A few of my favorite are...

A Fitness Marketing Post by Big Chris

Hey there, hope you're having an awesome day... night... whatever is... wherever you are

Ya know, social media marketing can sound "sexy" ... but unfortunately many fitness pros focus on it too early in the game... completely ignoring things like human billboards, ppc, seo, lead gen boxes, free Saturday boot camps that you can easily get in the local media, having a local high authority fitness blog and so on.

In fact, on most trainers list of things to do, "social media marketing" should be pretty far down the list under all the proven direct response client-getting strategies that work time and again.

Video Blogging Strategies For Fitness Experts – Part 2

A Fitness Video Blogging Guest Post by Zach Even-Esh

For fitness trainers who don't like to write, or prefer using video, video blogging is the way to go... in fact some may say it's superior... Zach Even-esh is one of the dudes who would say that, I mean, his video blog is responsible for most of his income ( and he does very well ) ... so he's DEFINITELY a guy you wanna listen to... Here's Part 2 of what Zach Even-Esh has to say about video blogging I'll let Zach take it from here... Ok... Right now my email list is around 14,000. But I have two kids. My wife hasn't worked for two years. I'm selling my house and I'm buying a house double the price. Literally I'll be able to ride my bike to the beach. I've done that with a pretty small list. But number one thing I do is those people on my list, those people that watch my blog, I love them. Like, no shit. I love them and I really want to give them all my best. And that is something that you have to do. I mean, this goes way beyond fitness for me. For me what's deep in my heart is I don't want people going through what I went through. I don't want them depressed. If they're in debt like I was, I want them out of debt.

Hey there... hope you're doin' great I'm blown' away by all the feedback I've been getting from people waiting for Fitness Blogging Profits to come out tomorrow I knew it was gonna be huge, but I had no idea it would have this much momentum going on in the fitness training community... pretty cool to see The industry is starting to realize that whether you want to build your local training business or studio, become a high-paid fitness info-marketer or make money selling fitness affiliate products, blogging is the way to go... so I should have known there would have been this much buzz and anticipation about the program... still, I gotta admit, it caught me a little off guard. And my support staff has been getting slammed with questions about the program so I made this post to answer the most common ones for you... 1. Doesn't blogging require a lot of writing? What if I don't like to write? No worries, there's PLENTY of successful video blogs out there... ...and video blogs are actually easier, quicker and more fun to create Vlogs ( video blogs) are super-fun and a GREAT way to bond with your audience... Gary Vaynerchuk does it and the dude pulls in $60 million a year. I actually love to write, so most of MY posts are written.

Local Fitness Rockstar Strategy

A Fitness Blogging and Internet Marketing Guest Post from Jonas Deffes

Enjoy this guest post from one of my first ever coaching clients, six-figure trainer and "out-of-the-box" renegade Jonas Deffes... How does a guy in a band become a local fitness Rockstar? I have no freaking clue... because I’m not in a FREAKING BAND and I look nothing like a Fitness Pro! But oddly enough I became a six-figure trainer with hundreds of women in my boot camps because I broke the mold on what 99% of the fitness industry thinks trainers should look like, talk like and market like Here's how I did it... 1. Break the mold... Even though I never had a big fat gut or been “out of shape" ... I was very hesitant to getting in the fitness industry as a trainer because I don’t have those big bulging biceps or road map veins all over my body.
