Hi all,
I've been doing some soul searching and after a lot of thinking, I've decided to start a business in the fitness space. The 3 main reasons for this are:
1) I've been lifting weights for 7 years. It's something I'm good at and genetically gifted for it.
2) I can help people and this will give me a sense of fulfillment that I won't regret at the end of my life.
3) There is good money to be made
The only thing I'm hesitant about is what vloggers claim, that you can't take time off from recording at all or the competition eats you and you go broke. Is that really true? They don't say it that directly, but it seems implied in what they say.
So I've been lifting weights for 7 years, but the past 1.5 year I haven't lifted any because of a shoulder injury. Now it's healed, but I have to start all over again because I lost all my muscles. The idea is to have my followers follow me on my journey to getting fit and muscular again, see my gradual improvements and inspire them to get fit too. Like: if he can do it, I can too.
I will create a brand through youtube videos for example.
I would really appreciate some advice on how to this the right way from the start and some general advice and opinions.
For example, what are some advantages and disadvantages of the several monetizing options I have? I could for example start a supplement line from the beginning and sell the supplements I would take myself like whey and creatine (dropshipping in the beginning). That way people will have trust in the supplement because it helped me grow too.
Looking forward to some (harsh and) constructive feedback/advice.
Thank you!
Edit:
I am also going to get a trainers certificate and work in a real gym to learn firsthand how to train people. It's one thing to be able to train yourself, but it's something else to be able to train other people.
