Fitness niche list building

8 replies
I'm currently running a fitness and health blog since Monday,

Lionheart Fitness -

It has had 108 views but 0 opt-ins even though though most people get directed straight to my squeeze page. This is very worrying and I know I am doing something wrong, can someone assist me and tell me what it may be? My content IMO is pretty decent it's just the optins which are failing me. My questions are:

How can I get people to opt In?

How can I get more traffic onto my website?

I'd appreciate your knowledge and answers, no matter what my plan is to stick with this and I will not give up! I just need a heads up and some fruitful assistance.

Thank you!

    Your content might be great but I got a damn great pop up in my face before I even got to read anything.

    You need to earn people's email address, put optins at the bottom of each page, tailor those optins to the content

    Btw if it's a new blog are you sure it's real visitors and not bots?

      thank you for your response,

      yes, i was feeling abit half hearted on whether to put up a pop up...i think i'll take it off and see how it goes from there.

      i'll have a look at the link you posted thanks for sharing.

      im hoping it is real visitors, i put up a FB ad and most of my traffic is coming from there

      again, thank you for your response

    YouTube - Film some videos of you performing exercises and how to do "the perfect pushup"... Youtube is a great way to pull traffic magically out of this air.

    If you're still worried, don't - these things take time

    Hi Sajali!

    First of all I love your attitude "I will not give up", yes! thats the right attitude to get what you want...

    Building your lists depends on how effective you can influence someone to voluntarily submit their contact details to your landing page or squeeze page. For squeeze page to be effective, they have to be simple and straight to the point. Offer your visitor a premium or incentive to encourage them to give you their contact details.

    You may try to tweak and test the below:

    Your Headline:
    Your chance to grab the attention of your reader and build curiosity is from the headline. Speak simple and direct. Focus on the offer itself and its benefit to your target audience.

    Video:
    Another component of a squeeze page is Video. You may test squeeze pages with video and one without. Video can increase or decrease response. You can do some testing to see whats most appropriate for you in converting more sign ups.

    Goodluck and hope this help!

      thanks for your great advice Jeng, my attitude comes from my love of the Fitness industry, when i first started out training i told myself i wont give up and now i am a healthy 190lb and currently 12% bodyfat wheras when i started i was very obese and had no hope to become as muscular, fit and active as i am now. so i gather that if i can change my life like this then why can i not change the way i work and earn money with it at the same time...i will not give up until i can start earning from something i now love doing and want to help others change there lives and become a better version of themselves!

      I have 2 ways of optin on my site atm and that is via the widget on the top right hand side which is viewable on all pages and a dedicated page which has the name title as "Free Weight Loss Report" both of the state the following "Powerful, Little Known Weight Loss Techniques" etc etc" i think this is attention grabbing and can build curiosity.

      Video -
      Im actually looking into this, i dont have the best of video cameras but in order for me to make an optin video i would preferably like a really good video with very good camera quiality.

      again, thanks for your response, i hope you read this response from me.
