What do you plan to do with these blogs?
I see on your fitness website you offer online coaching and an infoproduct.
What exactly are the other two for?
Online coaching is just personal training that happens via internet on email and skype, the goal is to offer personal training in bodyweight and fitness skills.
The info product is for collecting leads(mailing list).
@Carnage-He also has a section for body weight exercise equipment although I didn't realize he sold anything right away. The site looks simple and clean even if a little hard to distinguish what it is for. I would have swore it was just a blog with some fitness post at first glance. I would find a way to make sure your viewers know that you sell these fitness products immediately coming to your site without being to in your face about it. Im sure you can also mention this at the end of your articles as well especially if a specific article relates to a specific product that your offer. Ill go over all three sites again and try to offer more insight. Good job on taking action.
It actually is a fitness blog but fitness blogs can be immensely successful if done right. Blog is only one piece of the puzzle though. Blog is just a way to drive traffic and collect leads, and so is YouTube and other social media.
Right now, we want to make the blog the best resource there is for bodyweight skills, so when people search the terms, they find our site. Almost no one can do what my friend can do, so we have a niche that requires a high level of expertise, which means there is less competition among other "internet marketers".
Our focus is on growth, collecting leads and building reputation. We aren't planning to make any or much money in the first 1-6 months(and we have prepared for this). Many successful YouTube channels took 1-3 years to become popular, and websites usually take a minimum of 6 to 12 months.
We will have a real product(it's in progress) once we get significant traffic and after we have built more trust in the bodyweight community.
Some profit will come from the affiliate links (like the training equipment section and we also have affiliate links in most posts), but we aren't directly asking anyone to buy anything. Visitors will buy what they need and we will merely give them the tools to do so, I believe this is the way to market these days.
Thanks for the great feedback - I try to make the website as clear as possible. In a way, the websites are only going through the first phase of real experimenting.
