A Fitness Marketing Post by Big Chris

The money is in the list

Well, let me restate that…

The money is having a big opt-in list of targeted subscribers who you have a good relationship with and want to buy what you have to offer… be it personal training, boot camps, fitness info-products… whatever

So how do you build a list?

Well, you send targeted traffic from places like Facebook Ads, Google and JV Promos, to either content sites ( like video content or a blog ) with slick pop-up set to show at just right the time, OR you send them to squeeze pages

Pages where there’s really only one thing for your visitor to do… leave their email addy in exchange for… a free video, a free ebook or report, two free weeks group training, a month of free boot camp… whatever cool thing you can trade them that will help move them from where they are now to where they want to be

Now, these squeeze pages should be simple… the more stuff on the page, the less chance that the page will convert.

Usually I like to have…

Hey there, what’s up and howdy…

After a kick ass shoulders, lats and traps workout done to a constant rotation of Five Finger Death Punch, La Coka Nostra and Vinnie Paz, at levels I’m pretty sure are gonna cause some serious hearing damage, I stopped by my friend Travis’s office.

It’s a super cool place o’ bizness right next to a bikini and biker bar, with a big ol’ basketball game thingy set up right there in the back.

He’s just ten minutes from my house, and I knew he was in the middle of giant launch,in fact one of the biggest launches in history, but he keeps telling me to stop by, so I finally did.

I met Travis at my friend Andy Jenkins house, Travis and his partner Kenny have been working their tails off for the last year to help change the way you and I market our business on the internet and make our lives a whole lot easier.

You see, Travis has a vision and a purpose, something all successful business owners should have ( if you don’t have a vision and a purpose, I suggest you work on that ASAP… get those in place and the money will follow, never put making money first… help enough people get what they want in life and the money will follow)

Travis and his partner Kenny looked at the way people were marketing online, and delivering content, and he know there had to be a better way… FAR too many business owners, fitness pros and internet marketers are completely reliant on overpaid, unreliable web guys and are often held captive by these “techies” waiting for what can seem like ever just to deliver good content and good marketing messages on the internet. ( I’ve waited months for a site to be built before… ughhhh )

For a few years now I’ve been helping fitness pros grow their businesses to the six and seven figure levels, and some of the biggest problems I see is…

Hey there, I hope your doin’ awesome

My good friend Andy Jenkins is launching a piece of software right now that’s gonna make a lot of the confusing internet marketing and content delivery stuff that  business minded fitness pros need to be doin, super easy.

It’s called Kajabi ( which means to take flight )

Andy is actually one of the first guys that helped made me become successful on the web, in fact, a few years ago I paid about $20,000.00 to be part of one of his high end internet marketing programs and today he’s turned out to be a pretty good friend of mine… he’s also been helping me and Bedros a TON with the internet marketing documentary “Add to Cart” that we’re getting ready to release soon.

Recently Andy has been working with two software designers I know, Travis Rosser, and Kenny Rueter, to create a kick ass piece of software that basically takes a lot of the confusing tasks that go with internet marketing, content delivery, product launches, landing page building, squeeze page building, list building, membership site portals and so on,  and has made it all “push button” easy for everyday “non-technical” people like most fitness pros, so you can market your business online as easily and effortlessly as possible.

A Fitness Business Free Report from Big Chris

Hey there, hope you and your fitness business are doin’ great…

As you probably know I own a few different businesses… I’ve NEVER been able to hold down a normal job, I make a HORRIBLE employee and suck big time at following direction… so being an entrepreneur is no brainer for me.

One of my business is a group personal training business I started back in 2003 and quickly built to six-figures relying solely on the human billboard strategy. After a few years of doin’ all the training myself I discovered some different ways to get clients from the internet, in fact I was able to get so many clients from the internet that I quit training myself and hired 15 other trainers to do all the training for me.

I then automated and delegated out every single aspect of that business to where I don’t even spend one minute a month on it now, it runs entirely without me and allows me to focus on other things, like friends, family, fitness and helping other trainers to build their own dream businesses.

I guess you could say I’m a HUGE fan and advocate of internet marketing…. it has provided me with a lifestyle and level freedom that very few people even think is possible… and not a day goes by where I don’t think about how grateful I am to have it so good… internet marketing is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

And what’s cool is, it’s actually super easy to figure out, I mean if a guy like me who spent 15 years frying my brain cells can do it, anyone can, I have no doubt in my mind

Now, marketing a fitness training business on the internet comes down to two simple things…

If you don’t have a Facebook Fan Page for your fitness business… Your losing out on getting a ton of leads and clients.

Currently right now Facebook is pulling in a great deal of new leads for me everyday.

I recently learned several ways how to leverage and utilize my Facebook Fan Page to get me a ton of leads, grow a responsive list, brand my business by being the talk of the town, and be found easily in the search engines.

I believe that social media marketing is becoming more and more popular and as marketers we need to watch and follow the trends that are happening around us. If 500 million people are registered on Facebook and can be considered the 2nd largest country on the planet… Then we all should learn news ways to reach our prospects. Making a fan page and being active on it is one way.

I actually read a ton of books on Facebook marketing and utilized what I learned towards my personal training business. As I applied what I learned, I couldn’t believe how effective social media can help grow your brand equity & get you a ton of leads.

Here are my top 8 reasons for having a Fitness Fan Page:

Hey there, hope life is treating you as good as you’re treating it

This post has some super cool tips and tricks for getting clients from Facebook

But before we jump into the Facebook strategies, check this out… there’s a HUGE lesson in the story I’m about to tell you… it’s a lesson in “posing out” … well… kinda

Ok…

My editor Torry (for the documentary “Add To Cart” I’m making with Bedros about internet marketing) wanted some pics of me when I was a little 14 year old rockin’, bmx riding, snake catching, pot smoking weirdo…  not to say I’m still not kind of a weirdo today, but now I ride a Harley instead of a Mongoose, traded my fascination with snakes in for one of internet marketing, and swapped out the 4 foot bong for my own spiritual path as well as all that cool personal development/ psychology and prosperity mindset stuff…

The hard rock and metal is still there though… Metallica, Tool, Pantera and Eminem are cranked almost daily around here… especially when driving, working, doing cardio or lifting.

So check out this pic my mom sent me for Torry…

Now, a few cool facts about this pic…

Do you remember back in 8th grade when you got passed notes around saying who likes who?

This is a Fitness Internet Marketing guest post by Jedd Johnson of the Diesel Crew. Most days you can find him at home writing about Strength Training, Grip Strength, and other topics related to the Iron Game.

You’ve taken Chris’s advice and begun setting up a website in order to pull in the clients.

You’ve invested time in your site to maximize it’s potential to bring in trainees and you are executing other strategies to keep them with you longer.

So what’s next?

YouTube may be the next step in your journey toward dominating your market and becoming the go-to fitness trainer.

Hello, my name’s Jedd Johnson and I am a strength coach in Pennsylvania. I love doing Feats of Grip Strength, including levering giant sledge hammers down to my face and back to the vertical position. That’s why I chose the words “Leverage” and “Grip” in the title.

Anyway, that is not what I am here to talk to you about. I want to tell you about some ways you can harness YouTube and make it work for you in getting a more loyal following and more fitness training prospects.

Why Use YouTube?

According to Alexa.com, YouTube is the #3 most visited website in the world behind only Google and Facebook and right ahead of Yahoo. So it makes sense to spend some time and put in some effort there in order to use it for getting clients.

The first thing to understand about YouTube is that the scope of what people are searching for is enormous.
