If you think the item was damaged in the mail, file a claim. Every time I have filed a USPS appeal, they have denied it. And I...

    It sounds like you are currently in beta and testing before your official launch. What kind of marketing are you going to use to target new members and personal trainers? Also, will you confirm each trainer's certifications?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Another question I have... In a noncompetitive niche, where there is a good conversion rate from affiliate sales, how likely is a content rich blog to grow organically without the help from paying for advertising?
