Ok, time go on another RANT!
I'm typing fast and not using spell check cuz I'm friggin pissed so please excuse the spelling and grammar mistakes.
I just had a personal trainer (Who is a VERY close friend of mine) ask me what I thought about a Google SEO (Search Engine Optimization) company that said they could get her on the first page of Google for her key words for (GET THIS) $1,999 a month with a three month cancelation notice clause...
W.T.F.!!!!!
MAN! These SEO scam artists suck... and I'm gonna blow the lid off the whole search engine mystery RIGHT FRIGGIN NOW...

Let's face it, if your not using video in your fitness marketing, you may be kicking your own ass.
There's so much you can do with YouTube videos: Embed them on your site, link to them in emails, Even have them show up on the first page of Google.
I shot this quick video to show you how to get videos on YouTube in just 5 minute.
Enjoy
I just picked up a resume that some trainer left for me. A resume is no different then any other marketing piece - It's designed to sell... YOU!
But here's the problem with this trainer, and so many others... He has NO CLUE about marketing. And what's worse, he probably thinks he's a marketing BAD ASS and it's the economy not his CRAPPY marketing causing his fitness business to take a nosedive.

When I found out that my good buddy "7-Figure Studio Sam" A.K.A. "The Studio Killer Sam" had his own menu in dozens of restaurants all over Chino Hills, positioning HIM as the local expert, I had to find out how he did it.

I clearly remember that empty feeling as I was driving home from an intro session -Those six heart wrenching words rattled around my noggin. "I-NEED-TO-THINK-ABOUT-IT."
And that's not all
There's five more phrases that have had the same instant "buzz kill" affect on me...
1. I need to discuss it with my spouse.
2. I have to check my finances.
3. I can't afford it.
4. I need to see if I can fit it in my schedule.
5. I don't want to start today, I was just "checking it out." (WTF!)
I would much rather have someone say that they didn't like the workout, or I smell, or I just totally suck (Ok, that would be pretty bad too).
But here is the good news.
You are about to learn how to NEVER have that happen again... EVER!
(And no, It does not involve using a 44 magnum) It's actually way simple.

Last week one of my favorite trainers (Who is smoking hot!!!) sent me a pretty crazy text.
Here is what it said.
"Hey Steve, here's the real deal. My boyfriend and I broke up a week ago and I moved out. I've been living out of my car and staying with friends all over Orange County and it's really starting to suck. I need to blow up my business HUGE in the next 3-6 weeks cuz if I don't by then, I'll have run out of places to stay. Can I do this and will you help me?"
So I did what anyone in my position would have done... I told her she can stay with me (Kidding)
I said I would help her create a what I call a "Human Billboard" lead generating email.
Now, for an email to be a lead magnet it has to have what I call the big 3:
1. An attention grabbing subject line. If your subject line looks spamy or boring, it won't get opened.
2. A compelling story. This is critical because it gets your prospects defenses down and softens them up for your pitch. If you don't give your prospect a darn good reason for your special offer, then they will be skeptical.
3. A clear CALL TO ACTION. You gotta tell them exactly what to do, how to do it, and what they will miss out on if they don't do it right away.
I cut and pasted the exact email that pulled $3,315 in 4 days below.
See if you can figure out why it worked so well...

AAARRRRRHHH!
I just got off the phone with a fitness trainer that I KNOW will never make six-figures and MAY eventually have to get a second job...
Why?
Mind set, ego, pride, arrogance, he “knows it all”
So now that I’m revved up it’s time for me to get on my “soap box” for a little rant!
If you have been stuck with the same 6 to 10 clients for the last six months…News flash, what your doing AINT WORKING!
Get some help from people who consistently make 6 to 7 figures in your industry cuz chances are it’s not by ACCIDENT...
If you want to get to a certain income level in your fitness business then follow this 3-step-plan used by successful entrepreneurs.
