Personal Fitness Professional - January 2008 - (Page 24) e internet How to live the Internet lifestyle, help thousands of people and work less | by craig ballantyne exper expertise THANKS sellingyour on the to today’s relatively cheap technology, every fitness expert has the potential to be an online celebrity. From YouTube videos to blogs, you have the opportunity to be discovered by countless potential online customers. Within hours of setting up a website, you could be selling your fitness expertise to men and women from all corners of the globe. While you sleep in America, you can get orders from New Zealand, Japan, Australia and even insomniacs from New York, allowing you to wake up to the same amount of money it would take you all day to earn by training people in person. One of the greatest things about starting an online business is the almost complete elimination of overhead costs in your business. Websites are dirt cheap, and digital products are almost free to create and sell online. You might pay a small percent to a merchant account or other online distributor (such as clickbank.com or 1shoppingcart.com), but the remainder (often about 90% of gross) is yours as profit. 24 NO MONEY? NO PROBLEM! If you have absolutely no budget for a website, the easiest thing for you to do would be to start with a free blog from www.blogger.com — it will help your articles get found on the Internet easily. You can still make money with a free blog by offering your products for sale via offline payment, accepting money through PayPal.com or selling other people’s products as an affiliate. A blog is short for “web log,” which is really just an online journal that you can easily update as much as you want with whatever content you choose. It takes three easy steps to get your blog up on the Internet: 1. Visit www.blogger.com and create an account. 2. Pick a name for your blog — something that represents what you will talk about, such as “PersonalTrainerForFatLoss.” JAN-FEB2008 · WWW.FIT-PRO.COM http://1shoppingcart.com http://clickbank.com http://www.blogger.com http://PayPal.com http://www.blogger.com http://WWW.FIT-PRO.COM
