Develop your business online

More and more Independent Fitness Professionals need to be jumping into online marketing. I’m seeing it everywhere, with a little bit of knowledge and practice you can develop and sell to your client base, e-books, e-courses, DVDs and CDROMS and other information products. As a fitness professional you are an expert you have knowledge and expertise that your clients want and need and are prepared to pay for it. Several years ago it was difficult and took a lot of effort to get a book published by a publishing house. Well now, you can write your own book, convert it to an e-book and sell it online on your website or to your clients. All you need to do is invest some time into writing and researching a suitable book.

Tracy McClaclen wrote her first e-book on Fitness Pilates and sells it to her clients after classes and through her website www.pink-pineapple.com it supplements her income and is a product that will continue to sell year after year.

“So many of my clients always asked me for the Fitness Pilates exercises that they could do at home so I decided to turn it into a book and sell it. It has been one of the most profitable decisions I have made and it only took me time to write and produce”

If you are serious about growing your fitness business and don’t want to spend all of your time and energy teaching 25 classes per week to make a living then you may need to diversify and offer multiple income streams. Your first port of call needs to be website think of your website as a virtual shop, your home page is like a shop window that needs to be changed and updated frequently.

If this is something you want to add to your business, here are some of my recommendations for getting off on the right foot.

1. Get a good web site and learn to update it yourself. You need to have the flexibility to make changes and add things on the fly. You need to be comfortable with the basic technical aspects of the web. And you need to have a site with good content. From there you can add pages for specific online products.

2. Build your email list. Perhaps nothing is more important than this one. You can’t build a big, responsive list overnight, so start collecting email addresses now and input them into an excel spreadsheet. You need to collect everyone’s email address that comes to you or give out your cards and ask your class members to sign up for free to your site.

3. Send out an ezine regularly. No, make that weekly. This isn’t the only way to do it, but you will grow your client list much faster if you send out your ezine more often. The best subscribers actually come via word-of-mouth. And the more it gets out there, the more
it is passed along. Ezine drive online sales. Period. Without my weekly newsletter my local classes and the C2Go website would be nowhere.

Whilst I was planning my website www.choreographytogo.com and working on the technical aspects I began to email out a weekly Instructor newsletter containing news, views, reviews and business ideas. I collected everyone’s email address I could from Instructors who attended my workshops and at conventions. My list started with 50 email addresses and now I have 15,000 subscribers in 3 years.

4. Develop an online product. What will your online product be? As you know C2Go is downloadable choreography, articles, a support system for Fitness professionals, back up for my courses and workshops. Could you develop an e-book, recipe book, low fat cooking, weight loss information, could you develop your own DVD or CDROM?

5. Commit to mastering the ideas and principles of online marketing. Read books, e-books and attend seminars.

This is my model and it works brilliantly. The only drawback is that I can’t develop products fast enough to meet the demand and that I don’t have enough time on my calendar to do more workshops and film more choreography, but I suppose those are good problems to have!

Conference calling and telephone seminars

Large corporations and business have long invested in the technology to provide multi conference calling, which basically is a seminar or lecture conducted by phone where all the attendees use there own phone and hook up to a bridging line to enter into the conference. No more travelling for hours in your car, business cuts down on travelling costs and you can host the call from your own office. I predict that this will have a massive impact on the fitness industry as more companies offer the technology and the costs come down on line rental. Just think you can host your own lecture on weight loss, motivation, exercise adherence or whatever your specialise in and charge your clients accordingly. Here at choreographytogo I have been experimenting on this method of virtual lecture helping Instructors stay focused and motivated as well as given lectures on business ideas and pr for their own business. You can even hook up a web cam and record the event live and steam it on your website.

Audio Lectures

Again audio lectures are gaining popularity on all kinds of websites and the fitness industry will yet again be profoundly impacted by these. By buying a relatively cheap recording device you can set it up to record a phone call thus enabling you to conduct an interview over the phone and record it, change it to a .windows audio file and stream it on your website. I envisage many presenters and fitness experts will be able to stream lectures and interviews in this way so we gain all the latest research and information via that expert’s website.

Mobile Phones/Multimedia messages and Text messaging

Many fitness professionals and personal trainers are using text messaging as way to motivate clients, keep them on track, remind them of appointments and so but with the rise of 3G phones and video messaging the next logical step would be to send clients a mini video of an exercise or routine. For instructors I will be texting 1 minute choreography routines direct to your phone.
Its exciting times so don’t get left behind and move your business onto the next multimedia age.

The website offers choreography downloads audio lectures and virtual seminars and will be implementing broadband fitness TV in the near future. For more information email Rachel@choreographytogo.com

The Law of Attraction only works if you believe in subjective reality (what else is there?). Subjective reality states that the world lives inside your head, and not the other way around. You CREATE the world. I would further that by saying we CO-CREATE our world (more on this later). Now you might INSIST that we live in an objective world, and to that I would say-prove it. Prove to me that I REALLY exist. Sure you could come over to my house and see me working on this blog, so I exist in that moment in your reality. Did I exist before that? You can’t say either way. Subjective reality states that whatever is within your consciousness and awareness exists. Anything outside-doesn’t. Even your thoughts this very second are WITHIN your greater consciousness.

So what is YOUR role in this Reality?

Think of your identity as an avatar in a simulated game. This world is Sim City. For all those who are not familiar, Sim city is a game where you get to create an entire city, and the character that resides in it. Your greater consciousness is controlling your avatar (or your role) in this life. It is my belief that you chose exactly who you wanted to be in this life. You chose the character-blonde or brunette, short or tall, big family or orphan, and the list goes on and on. You chose this character because it best enables you to learn the lessons you wished to learn. You also chose conditions, but as your higher self is constantly connected to your avatar, you can always choose to take a different path at any time. This is the fundamental basis of the law of attraction.

There is No Outside-

What this means is that every person, thing, and animal is a projection of yourself. There is no OUT THERE. What this means is that without realizing it, you have control over all aspects of your life. You have to take full responsibility. Responsibility does not mean blame. There is no blame. The word ‘responsible’ really means your ABILITY to respond. This has been taken out of context because people think that it means responding to external situations. What it really means is to respond to the internal world of feelings. What if you don’t want to believe this? Well, that is fine too, and an ‘objective reality’ becomes your subjective reality. There is a place for ‘objective’ reality in subjective reality, but not visa versa. If you appreciate the idea of subjective reality or just want to toy with the idea-read on.
So everyone else isn’t real?

They are real as long as they exist within your consciousness. They are REAL because they are YOU in the very real sense of the being. The conflict you hold within yourself surfaces in the external world. The love you feel inside is reflected in everyone’s loving smiles to you. Roughly translated, everyone is a PIECE of you.

So what about child-abuse, rape, and other malicious things?

Okay brace yourself-they only exist to the extent that you allow them into your reality. Inner imbalance causes outer imbalances. I also believe that we choose certain conditions to take place before we are born so we can learn certain lessons. However, we also have the power to change this at ANY TIME we wish. We are never severed from the ‘control room.’

So what does all this mean?

It means that we live in a creative world. Our beliefs have creative power. I use the word ‘creative’ in its true form-to create. All beliefs are thoughts, and a belief is a rule you created about reality. Your reality is run by your rules-your beliefs, and all beliefs are choices. It means you are responsible for your life and you are the CO-CREATOR of your life.

What does Co-Creator mean?

I believe that our higher self, our consciousness, is connected to the source of all energy. The SOURCE of our own consciousness. Think about it like this Avatar (the role you play)–>Your Real Self /Consciousness(the one controlling the Avatar)–>The Source of your consciousness. Many, including myself, call this consciousness God. The birthplace of all consciousness is also referred to as the source or the universe. You have complete control over all your creations in the world, but your consciousness is guided by this source. In the most SIMPLISTIC form (high emphasis on simplistic)-you make the wishes, and it fulfills your commands. The source is always connected to you, but you also get to choose how connected you are to it. This is why meditation and prayers are so powerful. The more connected you are to the source, the more able you are to ‘manipulate’ your subjective reality in loving ways.

Every year there are millions of people who accept an early retirement package. This is something they choose due to health, new direction in life, and sometimes it can be because of a change in the company’s direction they are working for. Before you consider an early retirement package you should research all of your options and consider the best strategic plan for your needs. This article will outline the five most common factors when considering an early retirement package.

Key #1 — What is included for compensation?

When you are offered an early retirement package most companies will make an offer to compensate you or even to entice you into taking an early retirement package. If you have put in at least 20 years of honorable service with a company they will evaluate your record and make an offer accordingly.

Key #2 — What type of health benefits will you receive?

With the rising cost of health care you will want to make sure that your early retirement package includes continued health care benefits. You will need to negotiate how much of the monthly premium you will be responsible for. One other key aspect that is often overlooked is your location. If you decide to move out of state or even to a new location within your state will you still have the same coverage benefits?

Key #3 — Will Early Retirement Affect Your Pension Plan?

If you decide to accept an early retirement package you will want to calculate the difference between retiring now and perhaps five years later. How much loss of monthly income will you suffer by accepting an early retirement package?

Key #4 — Will You Be Able to Afford Early Retirement?

Hopefully you have planned ahead and set yourself up for early retirement. If not, you will need to do some calculations and make sure you can afford to accept an early retirement package. It may be a matter of re-adjusting your living environment to enjoy the lifestyle you want to live when you retire.

Key #5 — Will You Be Able to Mentally Handle the Change?

This key factor to accepting an early retirement package is often over looked. If you are used to the daily routine of working with several other co-workers you may find it to be a rather difficult adjustment once you are no longer going to the office on a daily basis. There are many things you can do to reduce the stress of this, but it is something you must consider before you jump on the early retirement package being offered.

Article marketing is nothing new. But applied to affiliate marketing it is the easiest way to make money online. And best of all, you can do it without spending a dime using only free tools available online.

This is all you will need :

- A free keyword research tool,

- A free text editor,

- A free Clickbank account,

- A free Blogger account.

Do a quick search on your favorite search engine and you will find these free tools very easily.

Quick cash blue print :

1 - Keyword research :

Using your keyword research tool, search for low competition keywords. Those are keywords that have at least 300 searches a month and that have less than 5000 competing pages in Google (when entered between quotation marks like this “keyword”). Try to find 5 to 10 good keywords related to the same topic.

The idea is to focus on keywords for which you can get a first page ranking in Google, Msn and Yahoo.

Hint : If you have no idea of which market to target, start by checking popular phrases like : how to, purchase, get rid of, help, cure, tips, etc.

2 - Find a digital product to promote

Go to Clickbank.com and find a product related to your topic. Choose one that pays at least $15 to $20. Generate your affiliate link and write it down or save it in a text file on your computer.

3 - Article writing :

Write an informative article (approximately 400 words) focused on each of your keywords. Put your keyword in the title and in the first and last paragraph of your article. Also sprinkle it throughout your copy. You can also throw in a few other keywords related to your topic. This will help you rank well.

Most important, write a great bio box that will make people want to learn more and click on the link to your blog. Put your keyword in your bio box as an anchor text link to your blog.

4 – Set up your blog.

More and more article directories will not let you put your affiliate link in your bio box. So your blog is going to be your landing page. The idea here is to put up a simple blog that will presell (not sell) your product and make people click on your Clickbank affiliate link to go to the sales page.

Hint : set up a blog for every product you promote and give it a keyword focused name.

5 – Submit your articles to article directories.

You will need to find article directories with a PR of 5 or more. These are the ones Google likes and it will help you get a first page ranking in the search engines and drive tons of free traffic to your blog.

Post one article a day on each article directory and do not post the exact same article to more than one directory.

Hint : Your best choice is Ezinearticles.com. You will need good quality articles, but it is the most powerful directory online. Alternatively you can use Goarticles.com.

6 – Rinse and repeat !

Article marketing is a game of numbers. The more articles your submit, the more money you will earn. But every product is not going to be a winner. Some will do well, some will not. So test a new product every week putting up 5 to 10 focused articles each time.

That is all there is to it. This may seem to good to be true, but it really does work. Off course it will take a couple of weeks for money to start rolling in on a regular basis but the magic of this method is that once you write a money making article it will generate residual income for months and maybe even years — without ever costing you a single dime.

Hiring a good fund raising consultant can be very cost effective in the long run. Too many people try to take on the reasonability of organizing a fund raiser when they simply do not have the proper qualifications to do so. If you need to raise money for any type of sizable organization or charity you really should consider hiring a fund raising consultant.

This article is designed to outline the 7 keys of an effective fund raising consultant. There are many other aspects, but this quick guide will save you allot of time and hopefully earn you more money.

Key #1 — Train and Motivate People

A good fund raising consultant understands the mind set and skills that are needed to have a successful fund raiser. They are skilled in their abilities to teach those within an organization to perform on a designated task for optimum performance.

Key #2 — Create a Fund Raising Plan

Creating a fund raising plan is no easy task. There are several key elements to consider for each individual situation. There are no two plans alike. A fund raising consultant will evaluate your organizations needs, asses the given resources, and implement a successful fund raising plan that works best for your particular needs.

Key #3 — Research Prospective Donors

Most likely you will need to raise some money — to raise some money. This may sound rather redundant, and in fact, it does sound silly. As the saying goes — It takes money to make money, but it does not have to be your money. A fund raising consultant will determine the financial needs based on the fund raising plan and then write and/or call prospective donors to get the fund raiser off the ground.

Key #4 — Set up a Data Base for Keeping Records

You must keep track of all donor information, expenditures, and other aspects involved with any fund raising event. The fund raising consultant will create a spread sheet and keep track of all these expenditures for you.

Key #5 — Conduct Studies

A fund raising consultant can evaluate your area and determine what types of fund raisers have been successful in the past for similar organizations. This can be extremely valuable information.

Key #6 — Conduct direct mail campaigns

If your fund raiser will involve raising money through a mail list for donations the fund raising consultant can implement this process as well. They will prepare the letters, handle postage, and all other task involved.

Key #7 — Help board members understand their responsibilities

The final key to a good fund raising consultant is the handling of board members. All too often there is more than one member who simply does not agree with the goings on with a fund raiser. The trained consultant is good at dealing with these needs and will put out any fires that might arise.

Fund raising consultants should be an asset and not a pain. I hope this article has given you some direction and meaningful guidelines to use when hiring your next fund raising consultant.

Hence, Time Management is an important aspect of our life.

How busy are you? - Your daily Routine

Let’s see, what we (Most of us) do in our daily life. How we are managing our day? As an example, I will take my daily schedule and I am sure that yours too will be closer to that. We spend time in following activities:

3) While having your breakfast, you can also spend that time with your kids and family or listen to songs of your choice.

4) While driving or traveling to your office you can either listen to songs or use your mobile – phone to stay in touch with your friends and relatives through messages and calls. If you are at a senior level and really busy and your office is quite far away…you can also have one meeting in your car. You can also go through few reports, analysis; check those reports and also sign those documents that need your signatures and approvals. Can you do this?

5) In office, you do all of the following things:

7) You can have an important client or business meeting during your lunch.

For discussion / debates with seniors or your peers located at different areas, you can either use the technology of Conference Call or Video Conferencing.

You can also use this technology for Induction, Training and Development and also for Media briefing. If you can solve a problem through a simple message on mobile phone or a simple e-mail; you don’ have to call for a meeting. So, use your mobile phone and internet to help you in managing your time.

9) Along with your second tea-break, you can also have another meeting (Review Meeting) with your team.

10) While moving from one office to another or one department to another, you can also send messages to your family members, relatives and friends and stay in touch with them.

5) They don’t mix their work with family. They don’t carry their work to home and don’t bring their family emotions and fights to workplace.

6) They don’t blame others.

Conclusion

Number of hours in a day will not change. There will only be 86,400 seconds in a day. It is up to you, how you manage and use each of those seconds. One needs to invest each second. As, it has been rightly said, time once passed will never come again. Busy people are very satisfied, happy and do everything that they want to do in their life. Those, who show that they are busy, end up with frustration, burn-outs, stress and most of the time failure in life and profession.

Before I sign-out, I like to share few examples to let you know the value of Time, I studied these examples when I was in school,

To realize the value of one year; ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize the value of one month; ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of one week; ask an editor of a weekly newspaper or magazine

To realize the value of one hour; ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of one minute; ask the person who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize the value of one second; ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of one millisecond; ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you share it with someone special.

Looking forward to your Comments and Feedback

With lots of love, care and affection,

By-passing All the Pitfalls

Are you serious about earning a living through MLM or Network Marketing business? Out of misconception, failure, and bad experiences in their previous MLM ventures some people may have decided that MLM is not a proper way even to earn a decent living, let alone to make it a means to be wealthy. Some other people may have condemned MLM and showed sour face when approached by their friends who invited them to get involved in MLM business.

How and where do MLM get its notoriety from? It comes from misconception and is granted by many MLM’s losers. Some of those people who underestimate MLM and speak bad about MLM may have not even tried any venture in MLM business at all. They just heard about something bad or wrong with MLM from MLM and Money Game’s losers. Out of ignorance, some people associate all rich-quick schemes (such as Money Games, Pyramid Schemes) with MLM or Network Marketing business. This is truly an atrocious generalization. These people are in need of education so that they will find out the real nature and characteristics of a true MLM or Network Marketing business. If you want to get involved seriously in MLM and Network Marketing business and expect to earn better living from it, you have to carefully choose the right MLM company. Spend some of your time on conducting a research about MLM companies you have considered to get involved with. By doing this you will be able to by-pass all pitfalls and serious handicaps that may have failed many people who are now suffering from MLM phobia.

Handling the Hardest Parts of MLM Routines

There are some common reasons which cause people to stay away from MLM business and which are also responsible for failing many who, out of curiousity, have tried to involved themselves in an MLM business for some time. Many people think they will downgrade their reputation and prestige when they get involved in an MLM business because they imagine that their involvement in MLM will require them to go door to door selling products they hate being associated with. This kind of people certainly lack information and background knowledge about MLM or Network Marketing business. If your prospects or circle of acquaintances consist mostly of this type of people, you will need a more educative approach in prospecting them. Supply them with good readers (books, articles, brochures) about MLM and Network Marketing business. Educate them first before trying to sponsor them. Let them know that there are many people out there who make it big through MLM.

-Understanding What It Takes In Sponsoring

To many people who never do a job which requires speaking skills and interpersonal approach, sponsoring is a truly scary thing to do in the beginning. Why are they scared of sponsoring? There must be reasons behind this fear. Each person may have his own reason for fear of sponsoring. Offline sponsoring involves a long speaking activities which includes explaining, describing, exemplifying, assuring and trust-building. When you are able to analyze what you should do in sponsoring, you can prepare yourself so that you can perform well in a sponsoring-oriented activities. Considering the components that make up sponsoring activities, you will realize what you need to perform well in sponsoring. Regardless of whom you are sponsoring, it takes the same mastery of materials and skills to perform well in sponsoring. With the mastery of the materials and skills needed in hand, you only need to adjust your methods and approaches in accordance with the background of a person you are about to sponsor. Of course you will not use the same approach in sponsoring a senior high school graduate as you will in sponsoring a physician. Although you use the same materials and skills in sponsoring them.

What materials do you really need to master to be able to perform well in sponsoring? There are two kinds of materials that you have to master to perform well in sponsoring activities, namely: 1. Materials about your MLM company’s profile and the system of compensation plan and all things related to this, 2. Materials about the products being marketed by the company and all things related them. So, it is strongly recommended that when you sign up with any MLM company, you have to immediately know, at least general knowledge about this company’s profile, its compensation plan, and the products being marketed. If you are not interested in finding out about all this, then you are not joining the company to succeed but to please your sponsor and/or upline temporarily. You will go nowhere beyond being registered as a member. This type of member possibly makes up the highest percentage of all MLM members who will eventually say, “I am not cut out to be an MLM millionaire.”

- Learning to Handle Rejection Wisely

It is understandable and human nature not to readily accept refusal or rejection. Most people will not take “No” for an answer. Basically, nobody wants to be rejected. But it is also the law of nature that there is a “No” to balance a “Yes”, there is a “Light” to balance a “Dark”, and there is a “Good” to balance is a “Bad”. So, considering this law of nature, you must not kill yourself just because you are rejected three times today. Some other people may have been rejected ten times today but remain calm because they know tomorrow they may get 10 acceptances. That is life. To these optimistic people, life is like a turning wheel. You will never be on top all the time. And God is of supreme justice. Succeeding is the right of everyone who struggles for it. It is a matter of time and persistence.

-Duplicating Leaders

Why do people build a network? There must be a reason why a network is so highly regarded by the people who know the value a network. It takes time and energy to build a huge network. Building a network is not a one man’s work. You will never have a huge network if you work alone. It is almost impossible to build a network alone. The more people you have to build a network the easier and faster you can establish a huge network. Duplicating is creating more and more people whose expertise, skills, attitude and action are similar to those of their competent leader in relation to their business development. If one able leader can build a huge castle, a lot more can be expected from more competent leaders.

-Managing Downlines

The longevity of your inflow of residual and passive income lies on your success in managing your downlines. Your downlines are your asset, so treat them as such (See my article entitled “Don’t Let Your Downlines Down” ). Your downline organization is a vital infrastructure of your MLM business. Your business is nothing without your downlines. If you fail in understanding the importance of your downlines, just imagine yourself standing on a roof of a tall building, then suddenly comes a big earthquake shaking and breaking the foundation and the body of the building on which you are standing. What is the chance of your staying alive?

Entertaining and Rewarding Yourself

Are you tired of doing your MLM routines, being rejected, being frustrated because of failure in achieving your own target, and in certain cases being left behind by the people whom you used to introduce to the business. Again, it is a fact of life that at times you have to accept the reality of life. Learn how to appreciate what you have got in your hands, and what God has granted to you so far. You may have achieved more than what your colleagues have, but you do not realize it or to arrogant to say “Thanks!” to the Creator of this universe.

Try to learn from other people who have succeeded. Do not just see how rich they are now, but learn the strategies which they may have shared with million people through their biographies. Did they suddenly succeed out of the blue. You may not realize that you have found the right path to achieve your long time goals. Do not let others steal your dreams or divert your direction. Entertain yourself when you achieve some improvement in you MLM career. Reward yourself for each achievement however small it may be. Thank “God” for all blessing and mercy granted to you, then you will be guided safely to your destination.

A foot corn is a thickening of the skin due to unrelieved pressure on areas of the foot.

It is the tops of the toes themselves that most commonly fall prey to foot corns. It is this area of your foot where pressure from your shoes ultimately will lead to foot corns.

Another known reason for developing foot corns are toes which have become mis-aligned because of the affects of a disease such as arthritis.

Indeed, there are several factors that can come together to create corns on the foot such as; hammertoes, an abnormal gait, bunions, tight shoes, or even a seam or stitch inside the shoe which rubs against the toes can all be a cause of foot corns.

Although not as common, foot corns can also appear in between toes and the sole of your feet.

Certain foot corns can even become woven in with the nerves of the skin. As you can well imagine, these types of corns are more than just a little bit painful and even develop a core which is also known as the root. These type foot corns can also cause swelling around the area of the foot corn.

Studies have shown that women have more problems with corns because they wear more tight fitting shoes on a daily basis.

For the gals, high heels are trendy and they look fabulous, but they can come at a high personal cost to the feet of the wearer… corns.

Women also can struggle with moments of the embarrassment of having foot corns simply because of the type of shoes they choose to wear. For instance, open toe shoes and sandals can show all the flaws of the feet.

Men can certainly suffer from foot corns as well. In fact, the corns that develop on men’s feet tend to grow up even thicker and tougher around the area of the corn than do the women’s. Because of this, men many times have to seek additional treatment for their foot corns.

More often than not, the treatment for a corn is as straightforward as getting rid of the source of the tightness and friction. For temporary relief from the discomfort, the tender area around the skin can be protected by wearing a corn pad.

In addition, it is possible that you can use a pumice stone or some other light abrasive material to file down the corn and relieve the pain.

It can happen that an infection or ulceration of this area of the foot can happen and the subsequent development of unhealthy tissue may have to be extracted by your healthcare provider. In addition, antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate the infection..

A foot corn is definitely treatable and, better yet, can be prevented. Learning so can enable you to avoid future foot corns.

When your feet are happy, you’ll be much happier too!
