What's up Warrior Forum. I'm new to the forum but have been checking the forum for a little bit. I feel paralysis by analysis and dont really know where to start. I own and built www.strength-athletics.com and have written a few posts after designing it. I only know I'm interested in making money online but have no idea where to start and what to do. I love designing sites/graphics but have no education or much experience here. I think I'd be interested in IM too. Can you first of all just give your impression on the site? I like fitness and have been researching various subjects for the last two years however no education in this field. I'm starting a Communications bachelor next month so in the meanwhile would love to learn more to generate money online. Is this kind of site good to go with? Should I start from scratch? Any advice/tips is much obliged!

    The site looks good. The only things I'd look at are the social icons in the header from a design standpoint. So Im guessing you want to do ecommerce now? This would be a good strategy as you have lots of good content you could use to promote products. I guess starting out in ecommerce is always tough - choose products wisely i.e that aren't widely available elsewhere and those where you can make a margin after purchase/shipping.

    Find a product your passionate about and go make it. I moved to Hong Kong last year so I could visit factories and make sure the product Im making is good. The less expensive/time consuming route possible is also to use Alibaba or visiting trade shows nearer home. If you can make something under your own brand that no-one else can sell you have an opportunity.

    Hello Josh,

    By having a look at your website the first thing I noticed is there isn't any opt-in form to be found anywhere. I strongly suggest that you register with a autoresponder service like Aweber , GetResponse etc. insert an opt-in form on the upper right side of your blog and start building a list where you can begin promoting affiliate offers from well-known fitness experts like Ben Pakulski , Vince Del Monte, Shaun Hadshall, Tyler Bramlett, Bruce Krahn, Todd Kuslikis and many others.

    Have a look here for example: Vince DelMonte's Muscle Building Secrets and Programs | Vince DelMonte's Muscle Building Tips and Six Pack Secrets Notice how he has cleverly placed his opt-in form on the upper right. I would also advice that you try to model his blog structure.

    Hope this helps!
