How to turn my knowledge into money online?

Create an ebook and pour your knowledge in to it. make sure you set an upsell for consultant service.

With your experienced, I'm sure you can succeed.

Internet Marketing dude or like Aswad say create an e book, you can also outsource your knowledge just be resourceful.

Just make sure you understand what the community wants. One problem with being good at something is that you can get blind sighted and not realize what the community wants and needs. Just visit forums and browse different places so that you can gather enough market intelligence and product ideas on what will work.

But as others have said, ebook + consultation is a good way to go.

I know that I could write an ebook, but what then? Where do I go with the ebook, who do I sell it too and how do I sell it?

Like I said, I know a little bit about IM, nothing about site creation and basically not enough to be dangerous (yet)!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

There many ways in which you could start but I'll be brief and to the point. As you already have the required expertise you're one step ahead the curve.

First let's do a basic market analyses.

Your niche: Health
Sub-niche: Fitness & Body building

Feedback: It's a viable niche.

If you go to "google keyword tools" and type the word "fitness" you'll see that there are a lot of people searching for information and related niche products.

You already have some offline clients. Do you have their names, email address and phone numbers? If not I would advise you to start doing so. Create a database with your clients relevant details.

If you don't have your clients' details it's time to start gathering them (this is relevant for offline and online business).


=> Create a digital product - ebook, video instructions, MP3 instructions (or outsource it).

Then you need the following BASIC:

* Domain name => your business address online.

* Hosting provider => where your website will be "housed".

* An Autoresponder => to gather names, email addresses or phone numbers and email people on your database on autopilot.

* Tracking system => to find out how many people visit your website, which pages they visit, which links they click and so on. To give you an understand of how people behave when they vsit your website.

* A website: which could be a blog, standard website, or squeeze page. But before you get a website try to find out which platform works better for your niche.

* Front end product/service. Something of value that will entice your targeted demogrphic to give your their details. i.e. name, email address and so on.

* Backend products/services. On the backend you can offer your product (s), consultancy, or other people products as an affiliate. But they need to be relevant and complement /enhance each other. I'd suggest at leat 5 backend products/services to start with.

* Start promoting your website. You could start with people you already know. Facebook friends (but be careful how you approach it)! Write related articles (or pay someone to do it for you) and post to article banks (ezine articles is a good one). Do related videos and post them on youtube with links back to your site (or get someone to do it for you).

I hope it helps, but if you need further information feel free to pm me and I'll be more than happy to assist provided you give me a glowing testimonial / feedback

Obviously these are just the basics. You could benefit from having a mentor, reading, participating on related forums asking questions and try to put into practice what you learn...

Have a nice day.

True build your reputation first and then people will come to you. What princecapri suggested is also important, don't just write about your thoughts, better find some body building forums and read what are most people looking forward to learn.

By the time you will have the e-book, you can create a website, add a good presentation and some details about your e-book and try to bring people who are interested on body building on it. It will not be easy when you start, but then it will start rolling.

Create an EBOOK. The WSOs need some genuine information and not some rehashed crap.

1. Create an eBook about Bodybuilding
2. Create a website for your ebook
3. Use Clickbank to get affiliates who will promote your ebook
4. Use PPC to get traffic for your site

Here's the story featured by Tim Ferriss about a very successful ebook creator: The Truth About Abs: How To Make $1,000,000 Per Month with Digital Products (Plus: Noah Kagan results)

First, you got the most important tool - the "will" to learn. Have you tried calling for a touch-base with our product creation gurus in Warrior Forum? Visit the Warriors for Hire section and use the "Search" feature for the string "product creation." I'm sure you'll see their contact details.

Chat with them kindly. Warriors are kind and helpful, in general.
Some of these product creation gurus have been ordering their ebooks and report writing needs from me. I just don't want to reveal their strategies. Better to hear it directly from the product creation gurus.

You can convert your expertise into a course of audio, video, text, and motion sensor programs. Create a quality product, promote it on clickbank to garner affiliates, give away handsome commissions to all affiliates and special prizes for top performers.

There are already very successful bodybuilding programs on clickbank. It is a tough niche, so you have to come up with something new and fresh; something groundbreaking. Do you know something about bodybuilding which is contrary to popular opinion? Mike Geary once said that he used controversial articles which proved popular myths wrong and got a lot of success from that. You gotta listen to Geary because that is a product owner in the bodybuilding niche who makes a million dollars per month.

Donmarketer has gave you a large list of things to implement.

from what I have been reading the first thing you want to do is create a 15 page e-book with some good information in and offer it for free in exchange for name and email address and start building your list.

then expand from there

imagine in a couple of years when you can create a new product charge $79.95 then instantly shoot an email off to 20,000 people hungry for the information that you offer because they know and trust you.

you are lucky to have something that you are so passionate about.

Some really good ideas here for you. I would get testimonials and before and after pictures from you clients. At least get some pictures of your clients with testimonials. Then create one or a series of videos and put them on Youtube. Link to your site.
Sounds like you have a lot of knowledge so put that knowledge to work: build a site with lots of good content (articles, video, etc.).
Create a kindle ebook and link to your site in it. Make sure this book is really really good because reviews make or break your ebook.
Create a coaching program and get affiliate to promote it. You can find lots of bodybuilding info product owners on clickbank. Email them and tell them you have a coaching program and tell them you have a high paying affiliate program.
Sky's the limit for you bro.

It would be pretty tough to write a broad-based guide for your entire market. So identify a segment of the market that needs and wants what you can provide. Then write an excellent plan with those people in mind. In other words, what niche within the bodybuilding market is screaming for help? Write for and then market what you've written for them. Good luck.

Take the information you know and create videos or a ebook. however for the niche you are talking about I feel videos would do much better. Create a site around the product and sell sell sell

Ebook is good but video lessons with exrecizes would be a perfect add-on and could make you product unique.

Have you thought of freelance writing for sites such as elance or oDesk? They're ALWAYS in need of health article/body building writers! Clients post these jobs and are often forced to by people from outside of the United States with very little English, let alone body building, knowledge. If you have real skill, try it! And mention that you know about BB in your cover letter. Best of luck!

I agree. Ebook is the best option for you. Create a website that will market your ebook then start promoting your website by posting your link to blogs, forums or discussion with topics related to your product.

Ebooks would definitely be good for you - or you could consider selling online coaching sessions perhaps

I am by no means an expert with anything suggested. When I read your post, I thought about beachbody,the company that does the insanity workouts and P90X and.... there is a method to their madness.
Yep, some claim the money is in the list, so a freebie to give away to build a list and possible future buyers is not a bad idea.

Best of Luck

Build a sustainable business around your fitness
knowledge. If you're good, and good at getting
other people to show results, then you can build
a following. Try to post fitness videos on youtube,
and see if they get popular. Look out for what
people want. What they secretly desire, but don't
say, or don't know about.

I've seen a lot of people build a business like that.
Especially for fitness, you can use a lot of
"demonstration" proof. Do your content marketing
through Youtube and video sites. Build a popular
channel. Then slowly introduce reviews,
cross-promote other Youtubers, and build a
following.

Brand yourself.

Or, you can even do that with a blog. However,
try to leverage high-traffic sites. In your case, it's
probably a good idea to leverage Youtube.

Just a thought.

Always start from what people desire first, though.
Don't sell what "you want" to sell.

Hey man,

You've got some great ideas here from some experienced warriors.

I'd build a squeeze page giving away a free report.

The report should upsell a personalised diet plan.

You could then possibly make a weightloss/ fitness training info/ video product to sell once you build a relationship with your list.

Hope that helps!

This has been really helpful! I think I am going to begin to write an outline for an ebook and then have somebody "flesh" it out for me.

In the mean time, I would like to get an amazon affiliate site up and going. I'm not really familiar with anything, but guess I will learn as I go! Any advice would be amazing!

PS - This forum rocks..........this thread alone has been a tremendous help to me and I'm sure other newbies who are reading! Thanks!!!!!

Create a free report with your knowledge and start giving it out for free to build your email list.

As you build a bigger and bigger email list, offer them valuable fitness tips and also promote relevant offers to them.
