Okay, Rip Apart My Site
I built it myself. I would consider myself a wordpress novice at best.
I have kinda just used the site it as a hobby and to get my message out.
I get about 20-50 visitors a day, mainly from social media, and organic.
I want to take this to the next level, as in to make a serious amount of dough.
I am working on the gallery (pictures of me competing), and also the about me, which will go into my own struggle of being over weight before, etc. I'm going to try and relate as much as possible to my target demo (which is people just getting into fitness).
I know I need to do the following:
1) Entice people to sign up for my list (i only have a few on there now that registered on my site via wordpress) with a free diet or workout program, or something along those lines.
2) Set up an auto responder series giving value, free advise, etc, and softly sell my own products and affiliate products.
I have about 20k words written in a 12 week program book. I had thought about publishing that on Kindle, but I am still up in the air.
I've also thought about publishing Q @ A on YouTube to drive traffic and gain followers.
I have also briefly thought about doing some PPC to drive traffic.
I am currently working on the SEO to rank for online personal trainer, etc.
I am also working on guest posters as well.
So, my questions to you guys is this:
1) As far as my site goes, what do I need to change. Lay it on me, I can take it. New Theme? New Format? More this? Less this? More that? Less that?
2) How would you recommend promoting the site?
The goal is to be able to make a full time living doing this because it is something I am truly passionate about. I know you don't have to be passionate about something to make a lot of money, but I can, that would be preferred.
