Idea:
1. Create a squeeze page to capture email addresses
2. Use PPC to direct people to page
2. Email my followers daily with "real" info, provide massive "real" value catering to my specific niche
3. Monetize by offering phone / Skype coaching
That's ALL. Offer real value through email, convert some of these people for 1 on 1 paid sessions. No prepackaged or programmed formula for each individual phone/Skype session, just all out lay it on the line for as long as its needed to offer as much value as possible for each individual. No real website, no Facebook, no social media/anything else. Just a REAL connection with people after I have gotten their email. LEAN.
Personal Strengths: Fitness/health/sports training expertise, working with people, sales, persuasion, writing
Personal weaknesses: Lack of designing websites/squeezepages, copywriting inexperienced
Potential problems:
1. Run out of funds doing PPC because leads may not convert to paying customers right away
2. High PPC costs for fitness/health market? Not sure, anyone have input?
3. Saturated market, information freely available online
4. Lots of personal trainers/websites/e-trainers/bot trainers/etc.
5. No social media may come back to haunt me?
My Competitive Advantage:
1. LEAN
2. Real connection with people
3. Expertise and experience in the field (but no personal training certifications)
4. Real value to offer
Costs:
$~30 for 3 months of webhosting + domain, email, etc.
PPC variable cost (I would probably try out about $70 of PPC, bringing total project costs to $100
Am I going to need WAY more PPC to get more emails, especially with a most likely less-than-optimal squeeze page (because I'm inexperienced?)
Thank you for reading this, please let me know if its something I should follow through on for my own personal experience even if it doesn't work, or if it sounds like a complete waste of time altogether.
