Thanks, just read your thread on the inside. Great job on your stuff too.

What did you to get that much traffic to your site? Are they all SEO visitors? And if so, what is your SEO strategy looking like? I'm trying to understand how you were able to score well in Google in such a competitive niche...

I'm asking you because I'm struggling to get traffic to my blog. I'm at 150 visitors a day which is way too less to be able to sell my infoproduct. I'm working on SEO but the competition is so far ahead that it seems that backlink building is going to take years to even come close to them. E.g. a waste of my time which can be better spent.... What's your opinion on this?

150 visitors per day is actually not bad at all for a website in the Netherlands.

You could start selling an information product today as long as you don't expect revenues in the 1000s per month immediately.

You'll have to build it up anyway.

Hey @piesandak47 , just wondering how stickk worked out for you? Did you hit your goal?

Nope will 100% admit I pussied out. Hit $8k/month. Not much else to say. Although I did pay the guy watching me $1k.

Stickk is cool but it's so easily manipulated. No real sense of danger.

It's really an issue of focus for me and focusing on one thing...the big leverage points in my biz that will increase revenue. I'll update again when I have made some real strides, which by the looks of it, will be soon.

Until then, I'm out.

How many people on the initial list that got you that $7k?

How many people on the initial list that got you that $7k?

About 5k, but a lot were old inactive subscribers.

I was just trying to gauge what type of CTR you had. At 5k subscribers that's a pretty good number of sales.

Congrats on your success.. wish you even more!!

If I may ask a couple questions:

1) How did you drive traffic to your blog in the first place?

2) What did you give away for them to even sign up? (my wife has a fitness blog and email capture seems to be the hardest part for us)

3) Did you have a dedicated landing page for the info product or was it just sold via email?


Congrats again$$

Do you think you could have built your list and product faster than 3 years?

What mistakes did you make that made the process longer?

Thanks for sharing, congrats on the success.

 

[Veloce Grey]

Nice

What format was the product?

 

[piesandak47]

Nice

What format was the product?

Content is hosted in a membership section of my site. Combo of pdfs, excel files, and videos.

 

[The Grind]

Theres a ton of fitness products.

Did you validate your idea for the product before creating it?

How did you make your different from everyone elses?

 

[theag]

Any updates? @piesandak47

 

[Durete]

Interested if there are any updates;

How's your product selling now?
Do you still give any effort in marketing a (now old) product?
Do you have any new products in the line?
Do you use paid traffic by now?
If so, What are the results of that? (ROI?)

Also wondering what site is yours. I follow a lot of health/fitness sites, so yours could be one of them. just out of personal interest.

@piesandak47 hey, I think that your fitness infoproduct can do well with Instagram advertising. There are a ton of fitness influencers that can broadcast your product. It kind of ties in to a site I might be building and would like your thoughts on that? Check out my thread here.

Hey just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us your journey.

There's a lot of actionable steps that you list that I'm incorporating into my business (similar field).

+1 for great info and +2 for not sharing your niche

Business is a journey and takes hard work, not copycatting someone else's fitness business.

This is awesome. Are you getting before and after pictures? You have people like Tracey Anderson, or ItsKayla on instagram killing it with those type of pictures.

Yes I am.

 

[eqttrdr]

Yes I am.

awesome! how did you get before/after pictures when you first started for your launch?

What do you feel is the best way to get before/after pictures after your launch?


congrats again $

 

[csalvato]

Yup totally understand what you're saying.

A few reasons:

- My new product is still going to sell the same market, it's more of an upgrade than a straight up replacement
- Building the software gives me a HUGE competitive advantage over everyone else
- Right now I feel like I'm trying to compete head to head with so many guys in the ebook/infoproduct space. With this product, I'm breaking out into a space with much less competition.
- It allows me to provide 10x more value and it will actually help people get better results
- And just looking at it from a long term perspective, it's better for my brand in every possible way

I'm still building out my current funnel so anything i do between now and my new launch can be carried over and tweaked to fit my new product.

Good luck. To me it seems like a big risk to completely change platforms. The change in platform is essentially a change in market. Infoproduct fitness products are very different to app fitness products.

Good on you for rapidly experimenting. I am interested in seeing how it pans out!

Thanks.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a full blown "fitrocracy" level fitness app.

It's more of an online course with gamification type elements and some workout software.

You guys (piesandak47 and Silverhawk851) are really speaking my language. Great excecution piesandak47.
I've developing a new fitness product at the moment (nearly blew myself up the other day with the prototype ;-) )
Would it be ok to get in touch when it's ready for your opinions?

Thanks

Congrats to your accomplishment!

towards guys who want to lose weight

How big would you estimate the ratio of guys who want to shed fat : guys who want to build muscle?

 

[Yasai]

How have your sales developed over the last couple of weeks? Did you create new products for your customers and visitors to enjoy?

Sales have stayed steady since my last update.

Got sidetracked with my software which has now been canceled for the time being mostly due to funding issues (cost a lot more than i anticipated and the risk is simply not necessary right now).

Yes I am in the process of relaunching my custom fitness coaching next week.

Will post bigger update when i have time.

Whats up!

Do you also post your product on Clickbank so that affiliates can promo it?

 

[Aaronjod]

Hey guys,

Pretty newb question, but what do you mean when you say you bought traffic? How does one go about doing so? Where can I read up on it?
