Quality Fitness Product created, authority website, what next?

6 replies
Hi everyone,

I recently discovered this forum and have to say, is just as valuable as having a mentor around.

Anyway, my first post, I have created a quality information product. It is a fitness/muscle-building/well being book similar to Vince Delmonte's No-Nonsense Muscle Building book, at least in that category. I plan to sell it for $77, with possible upsells.

I have branded myself well with a powerful company name and slogan, and logo. The logo also has a graphical version of myself in it. I should also mention, down the road i plan to sell apparel with my company brand/logo on it as i think it will do well, many people can relate to its meaning. So you get an idea of where it's going/where it's at.

My main question is; I have a site currently being built for me, containing blog articles, a "products" section, all that good stuff. I'm a member of Aweber, but haven't done anything yet with it. I'm wondering, once the site is up and the product is available, how do I get traffic and sales? This is going in the direction of an authority-type website/brand, and I'm in it for thr long haul. I'd like to eventually do this FT and be able to quit my day job, and focus on continuing to create quality products for people to use and purchase.

Can anyone point me to the right direction or suggest anything, at all?

I'm very new to all of this, so even if it's other advice/tips/things to keep in mind or watch out for, I'd appreciate all of your feedback.

Thanks all!

      I always favor SEO to drive my traffic. Smart keyword research. Onsite silo structuring to pass link juice to each of the pages.

      Good job picking a branded domain. That's the way to go these days.

      Feel free to PM me and I'll get you up to speed.

    Congratulations Ahakimi! Looks like you are a man with a mission.

    Regarding your question, one of the most effective way of driving traffic (and sales) to your website is through posting on related Forums. As your product is regarding "body building", become a member of a few reputed (and high traffic) forums. Then create an account and start helping people out. But DON’T forget to advertise your website in the forum signature. This way, you will come in direct contact with your targeted audience. Also, it is VERY important to post resourceful and helpful replies to queries; otherwise these clicks will not convert into sales. Aim to have an authority profile in some of the forums with most traffic. You can do this work by yourself OR hire a body-building expert to do it for you.

    Apart from that, guest posting on related niche websites is very effective. Reach out to people in your niche and ask them for a guest post, if the owner agrees to publish your post; your site will be introduced to his audience.

    Both of these methods work and are the basics of marketing and SEO in the current time.

    Best of Luck with your website.

    Anything else?

    You want to make sure you are building a list of visitors to your site. Offer a percieved value ebook (training tips, etc) in extrange for them opting into your email list. Thru your auto responder account set up follow up email messages to provide them with qulaity info AND to promote and sell you full course, apparel, affiliate products, etc. Building your list is vital to building a business. Using solo ads (other peoples email lists) can also be very helpful.

    For traffic, ranking youtube videos isn't that hard to learn and is becoming a preferred media platform for audiences.
    Definitely forum posting as well, but in this area of social media you need to start a facebook page as well. While you're at it, post likes and relevant comments on other facebook pages in your niche.

    And of course you'll want an opt-in form on your site, in exchange for say a monthly newsletter. As you build up a list you'll be able to market your services to targeted buyers more effectively.
