Look Outside The Fitness Industry!

Hey Pros,

This newsletter is an important one, so I apologize in advance if it is longer than usual...

Too many of us stubborn fitness pros, myself included, have failed to do what is one of the easiest things to expand the scope of our business:

LOOKING OUTSIDE THE FITNESS INDUSTRY!

What other industries compliment what you do?

Which local small business in your area could you team up with in joint ventures or cross-promotions?

I've been way too "boxed in" for too long, and I am embarrassed to admit it.

I finally wisened up this past month and made two big moves that look to help explode my online and offline businesses by looking outside of the same old fitness realm.

Example#1- KOSS-WORKOUT MUSE: Rapid Fat Loss Workoutphones

As many of you know one of my superstar clients is the CEO of KOSS Stereophones. He is a big-time Workout Muse fan and we are going to be teaming up with cross-promotions of our complimentary products.

Workout Muse is the ultimate digital training system and KOSS Stereophones further automates it as the sound industry's premier headphone company.

What am I most excited about is the KOSS TUGO which is a wireless mp3 headset that will have our WM soundtracks preloaded upon purchase... can't get anymore dummy proof than that baby!

My friend and colleague and member of my Make More Train Less Mastermind Group Greg Justice, who will soon be releasing the most COMPLETE corporate fitness boot camp system ever, is now more pumped than ever because this KOSS-WORKOUT MUSE Fusion will allow both him, myself, and any other fitness pros to pitch The Ultimate Corporate Boot Camp TO GO. Stay tuned for more on this... it is going to change the way our industry does business at the corporate level ;)

Example#2- Get Sexy Milwaukee Boot Camp Goodie Bags

The next one, I cannot take credit it for. It was my partner and sexy girlfriend Naomi who did the deed. Listen to what she did:

"I thought up any local business that is beauty or health related, particularly ones we might have a relationship with (our stylists, corporate fitness programs).

I sent them an email or called them letting them know we are putting together goodie bags for our clients and we would love to cross promote with them. I offer their clients/customers an additional 10% off their first boot camp with us. To do this, I created coupons on cardstock (decent looking but relatively inexpensive), and printed them at kinkos.

Then they tell me what they are willing to provide, coupons, discounts, samples etc.

I arrange a pickup time and give them the coupons and they give me what they have to offer.

So far we have this in the goodie bag as a result:

Get Sexy Boot Camps T's (Provided by us)
Koss Headphones 25% Discount
$5 off groceries at Good Harvest (local Whole Foods-like Supermarket)
Buy one Lunch, get another free at Good Harvest
Buy a pair of Sneakers get a free pair of Feetures! Socks (Athlete's Foot)
Bags from a local salon with product samples and service menus (very pretty!)

Still waiting on a few more things..."

We have already generated a ton of buzz among our cross-promoters that will look to drive more people into our boot camps. For example, "hair man Dan" as he is called, has been showing some of the crazy exercises we do to all of his clients this past wek because he knows that every new client he refers is 25% off on his next boot camp... and he claims that every morning he is liking what he's seeing in the mirror more and more and just loving the workouts!

Also, don't just ask clients for help, ask to help them when you can. For example, one of our long-time boot camp clients finally made it to a workout after missing the first 5 workouts of this phase. I checked in with her before the start of the session to see what was up...

She said she's been struggling to get her new boutique business off and running and it's been very busy and stressful.

I sure as hell know what that's like... man, it's always a challenge, and small businesses need to stick together.

So I reassured her that we would help her out and that she should get some cross-promo material together to throw into our goodie bags. I am also going to send out a newsletter promoting her new biz to my boot camp list.

Why? Because she's a great client and she deserves our help. I am guessing she will have no problem returning the favor, but that's not the main reason why I did it. I did because, no matter how "cheesy" cynical people think it is to help people to better society as a whole, if you show people how much you care they'll go the extra mile for you and your biz, especially when you need it the most... think about it!

Lastly, here's a killer workout video from one of our corporate fitness boot camps using 40-20 Supersets that will give you some great ideas for your group training session. Take a look at what had my clients panting in a pool of their own sweat by clicking the link below:

My Biggest Failure in Fitness EVER!

Back in December of 2007, I originally came up with the idea to start Workout Muse as my first online business.

I had just purchased several new macs with garage band, so I thought I was going to be able to do do these audio interval training soundtracks myself.

I started messing around with it one day and just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Seconds became minutes and minutes became hours... and I was started to get really frustrated and pissed off.

In the end I spent 4-5 hours trying to build the first TABATAS soundtrack.

Honestly... it was the worst thing I have ever done, ha ha.

The music was some free stuff I got off of podrunner and the timing was WAY off.

So, I said screw it!

The next day I made a post on craig's list in search for a sound designer in the local Milwaukee area (this took 60 seconds).

The next day Topher, my Workout Muse partner and head sound designer, contacted me to set-up a meeting (this took another 60 seconds).

We met 3 days later we met and were a perfect match so we started up Workout Muse (60 minute meeting).

And the rest is history!

See what happens when you outsource things that you suck at!

If you want to hear a 60-second sample of the WORST audio interval training soundtrack in the history of the world put together by yours truly, you need to click the link below to download this mp3 because it is friggin' hilariously bad:

http://senduit.com/e64d8d

Now listen to our 4-minute Tabatas sample by TOPHER that is taking the internet by storm by click the link below to download this mp3:

http://senduit.com/5aa22c

What else are you doing in your business that you aren't qualified for and/or don't have time for that is holding you back from the financial freedom you deserve?

Don't be a moron like me... give it to someone else who does it better baby!

FREE Lead Generation Opportunity for Info Products and Boot Camp Instructors!

Hey Fitness Pros,

I hope all is well!

I was recently inspired by Daniel Munday's brilliant idea www.FreeFatLossTips.com (if you haven’t checked this out, you really should) to set-up some online lead generation sites where like-minded fitness pros can “help before they sell!” It will be very similar to the world renown 12 days of Christmas, except we will be adding fresh and original content throughout the year, with the occasionally targeted promos.

I am developing 2 distinct lead generation sites:

LEAD GEN SITE#1- For Interval Training Info Products:

I have already purchased the following urls that will link back to the same site (please feel free to let me know which of the following names below you think is best)

www.FreeIntervalTrainingTips.com

www.HowToPerformIntervalTraining.com

www.IntervalTraining101.com

LEAD GEN SITE#2- For How to Run Profitable Fitness Boot Camps Products:

I have already purchased the following urls that will link back to the same site (please feel free to let me know which of the following names below you think is best)

www.FreeFitnessBootCampTips.com

www.FitnessBootCamps101.com

www.HowToRunFitnessBootCamps.com

So here's the shortlist:

1.) DONE-FOR-YOU: I will be building both websites for all of us to drive tons of targeting traffic to our respective websites

2.) REQUREMENTS- I am looking for the following:

* A FREE report/video/ecourse/audio, etc. that is FRESH, ORIGINAL CONTENT relating to either INTERVAL TRAINING or RUNNING FITNESS BOOT CAMPS (yes, I am more than happy to accept separate reports that I can put on each site so you can build up both your fitness enthusiasts and fitness professionals lists!). For example, I will be proving my 16-Week Rapid Fat Loss Cardio E-Book and Bonus Cardio Interval Soundtrack (among other things) for the interval training site and my TOP 6 RAPID FAT LOSS BOOT CAMP WORKOUT TEMPLATES (among other things) to the boot camp site…

* A landing page link to the EXACT site you want to drive traffic to for visitors to opt-in in order to receive your report

* A Professional Photo of you to break down barriers between you and website visitors along with a brief, concise bio (1 paragraph max, though 3-5 sentences is ideal) saying who you are and what you have to offer - this is your shot to get people to your link (I will personally add your pic and bio to the website)

* It’s your responsibility to ensure that you have a way of capturing leads/email addresses from people who a piece of what you’ve got

3.) DEADLINE: SEPT 1ST, 2008

- I will be reviewing and then accepting all comers on a first come, first serve basis
- Only QUALITY, ORIGINAL content will fly to ensure both sites maintain integrity
- It is in your best interest to get your freebies to me ASAP as I will be adding your bio and links in the order I receive them, and obviously the higher you are up on the page the better chance you have to get more leads!
- As I mentioned, I will be adding material throughout the year amongst several targeted promos, but once a fitness pro grabs a slot on the list in terms of how close they are to the top of the page (where most leads will be generated), that spot is theirs!

In life, as in business, you can either take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, or you can simply let the parade pass you by.

I am looking for the best of the best and any currently successful or emerging fitness entrepreneurs looking to build theirs lists FAST!

Do you fit the bill?
