<p>Early this morning I sent out an email to 8000+ fitness professionals highlighting a friend of mine who teaches fit pros how to &#8220;Grow My Fitness Business&#8221;.</p>
<p>It was a relatively long email compared to what I like to burden our Member Fit Pros with normally <img src='http://tombomar.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> , but I did want to spend some time expressing why I felt this program would be worth a good look.</p>
<p>The program is called &#8220;<strong><a href="http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel" target="_blank">System 5</a></strong>&#8221; and was developed by Chris Fernandez. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally spent time speaking with Chris by phone and going through multiple webinars from his program.  I&#8217;ve also been through similar programs and am very comfortable suggesting Chris&#8217; as one of the best.  Organized, accurate, and related to the fitness industry.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Chris also is tweaking his program as well as customizing it just for <a href="http://www.fitnessprotravel.com/cart.php?type=user&amp;page=accountinfo&amp;aff=9" target="_blank">our fitness professional community</a></span>.  Special content is being generated just for our network along with key additions and angles that make System 5 appropriate for more than just the personal trainer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Group Instructors, Yoga Instructors, Tennis Coaches, Dietitians, or Chiropractors&#8230; System 5 can provide you the edge if you want to grow my fitness business.</p>
<p>Besides the tweaking to meet the needs of all our members he also agreed to provide a couple sample webinars that could be viewed without obligation (at least the first one).</p>
<p>This is what I had primarily emailed to the group about.  A free webinar for those who want to learn a few keys that will help them grow their fitness business.  Even without a business but within a fitness career, there are elements that will help you excel.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">BTW &#8211; I&#8217;ve talked to you previously about <a href="http://tombomar.com/fitness-marketing/fitness-pro-affiliate-marketing/">Affiliate Marketing</a>.  I have set up with Chris an affiliate relationship. To get the last 2 (still free) webinars you&#8217;ll have to register, and yes I do get a commission if you ever decide to purchase System 5, but this product is one of the best of it&#8217;s kind for the Fitness Pro so I had to share.</p>
<p>Definitely worth a free check.  AND definitely something I hope to hear back on from those of you who check it out.  I know Chris will provide any feedback/answers from that webinar page.  I will do the same from here if you have something for me.</p>
<p><strong>Check it out Here ===&gt;  <a href="http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel </a></strong></p>
<p>Besides the fact that I know the quality and work ethic Chris is putting into his program and how that can equate to financial benefit to you, I do have a slightly skewed reasoning for encouraging you to run the program.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I believe it will only continue to benefit our network as the membership becomes aware and then proficient in the many activities you can do there as well as outside on your own.  Blogging, use of Forums, and Networking in a fitness industry only community alone can bring great benefit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">When you also learn how to leverage the authority of being an &#8220;International Presenter&#8221; for gaining students, athletes or clients&#8230; Well, I believe you&#8217;ll have just one more reason to enjoy the travel program.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">As you better understand affiliate marketing and how simple it is to utilize across the internet you&#8217;ll find the ease to use your Fit Pro Travel account affiliate referral program and we&#8217;ll grow the network even faster.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">And, as you put the many skills locally, on-line, and internationally together&#8230; you will generate more income&#8230; and ultimately want to spend more time traveling to more of the luxurious properties offered by Fit Bodies within the Fitness Pro Travel site.</p>
<p><strong>Are you ready to &#8220;<a href="http://tinyurl.com/System5-FitProTravel" target="_blank">Grow My Fitness Business?</a>&#8220;</strong></p>

<p>I manage a few different blogs, and I am no where near a professional writer or creative with the pen (keyboard).  That being the case I often find getting creative with my blog somewhat difficult.</p>
<p>Because of my above mentioned handicap it would be most easy to simply dump the blog idea altogether. But, I&#8217;m told that would be the wrong move by every internet marketer alive.  I also find the specific blogs a simple location to address specific ideas, changes, or issues with our various fitness industry programs.</p>
<p>So, being the resourceful guy I am&#8230; oops, that&#8217;s a different story.  Today I was fortunate to take a look at one of my RSS feeds at just the right time on small business that happened to give a mention to a company with a cool blogging content assistance program.</p>
<p>I was quickly on my way to check out <a class="zem_slink" title="Zemanta" rel="homepage" href="http://www.zemanta.com">Zemanta</a>.</p>
<p>No affiliate relationship or commission here.  I was just so impressed with some of the features in this tool, which I could easily add as a FireFox add-on, that I want to mention it to the Fit Pros who keep track of things we have going on&#8230;. This also makes great worthwhile content for me in making a blog post.  <img src='http://tombomar.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />     I&#8217;m using it on this post and tried it first at our <a href="http://dietgrader.com/healthy" target="_blank">nutrition solution blog</a> site.</p>
<p>Zemanta is a <strong>tool</strong> that looks over             your shoulder while you blog and <strong>gives you tips             and advice</strong>, suggests related content and             pictures and makes sure your posts get promoted as they             deserve to be&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-213"></span></p>
<h2>(From Zemanta) YOUR kind of Assistant&#8230;</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.zemanta.com/blog/zemanta-upgraded-with-new-ui-link-reporting-and-link-building-for-users/" target="_blank">Zemanta bloggers</a> all get a great tool to help them             create content and drive inbound traffic. But, we know             that every blogger is different, so there are different             ways you can use Zemanta, depending on your styles and             interests. If you don&#8217;t see your area of interest             bellow, drop us an email and let us know how you want             to use Zemanta.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are several motivators that may drive a fitness professional to consider becoming a fitness education presenter. They are similar to the motivators for an individual to run this track in most any industry.</p>
<p>For the vast majority, that motivation should not be solely monetary gain&#8230; at least not directly.</p>
<p><span id="more-208"></span>If payment for fitness education presentation is not a likely benefit for you, then why do it?&#8230;</p>
<p>Because secondary benefits of product or service sales, exposure of your expertise to the masses, and authoritative positioning that comes with presenting, provide you plenty of lead opportunities that will pay off down the road.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2009/10/29/5-tips-for-getting-more-leads-from-speaking/" target="_blank">Duct Tape Marketing</a>&#8221; provides us 5 tips for your free presentations pay off big time.<br />
<em>**These tips are appropriate whether you are presenting at the largest of conferences or at a local church.</em></p>
<p><strong>1) Get referred</strong></p>
<p>You can create your own workshop events, but one of my favorite strategies is to approach two potential groups and offer to present great information to their clients and networks. The key here is that you have a topic that is very hot and seen as very valuable. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is not a sales presentation, it&#8217;s an education and value add tool</span>. Approach your two partners with the idea that you&#8217;ll present a great topic, they offer it to their customers, and they get to cross promote to each others attendees as part of the deal. You simply get referred in as the expert. (Every time you do this you will get asked to speak at an event one of the attendees is involved with as well.)</p>
<p><strong>2) Make a deal with the sponsor</strong></p>
<p>You are a highly sought after speaker willing to waive your fee only if they permit your to elegantly reveal that there is a way for attendees to acquire your products and services and that you will also be offering some free stuff in exchange for contact information of those interested in the free stuff. Make it known that you have no intention of selling, merely informing. This approach raises the value of your presentation and gets you what you need as a lead generation opportunity. This can be a deal breaker for you or the sponsor. If you over promote, don&#8217;t expect to get asked back, if they won&#8217;t allow you to acquire leads, don&#8217;t bother.</p>
<p><strong>3) Educate like crazy</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to give away all of your secrets. Some folks suggest you should just tell them what they need, but not how to get it done. I don&#8217;t agree. If you tell them how, some may think they can do it themselves, but those who really want what you have will realize through your specific details, how tos, and examples that you do indeed possess the knowledge and tools to help them get what they want. Educate and you won&#8217;t have to sell!</p>
<p><strong>4) Collect those addresses</strong></p>
<p>In some cases people will rush up to you after a thought provoking presentation and ask how they can buy, but, in case they don&#8217;t, make sure you give all attendees a valuable reason to share their contact information for the purpose of follow-up. You can offer them the slides to your presentation, a free resource guide related to your topic, or a more detailed report based on the topic, in exchange for business cards. If you don&#8217;t have this preplanned you&#8217;ll find you won&#8217;t get a second chance to wow these folks. Of course, I hope it goes without saying that you should also have a follow-up process. Write a hand-written note, add them into a pre-written drip email campaign on the topic, or call them up after the event to measure their engagement.</p>
<p><strong>5) Simple call to action</strong></p>
<p>When I first starting speaking in the manner I&#8217;ve described here, I would pour my heart out, mindful of not selling, and then come to the end and there would be this awkward moment when I knew people wanted to buy something, but I didn&#8217;t have an offer. Well, I quickly learned that didn&#8217;t serve either of us very well. If you provide great information and a clear road map to solve someone&#8217;s problems, you&#8217;ll often find them wanting you to reveal how they could take the next step. But here&#8217;s the key &#8211; in that environment, they want a deal for acting right now. Not every audience or speaking engagement will present this opportunity, but I&#8217;ve found that in a straight free speaking gig, where I&#8217;ve been given permission to introduce my products and services, this 3-step approach is well received.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>a)</strong>tell your audience right up front you&#8217;re going to give them great information and tell them at the end about what you do</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>b)</strong> about half way through, after you&#8217;ve built some trust, take a quick minute to reveal, for instance, a paid workshop or program you have coming up, tell them the price and go on</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>c)</strong> at the end answer questions, make free offers, and, almost as an afterthought, agree to let them also bring a friend to the event you mentioned at the same price if they sign-up today. (You&#8217;ve just made the event half price in their mind, turned them into a recruiter, and given your potential attendee a valuable tool to offer to a friend or colleague) So, all of a sudden, anyone considering the offer is now highly motivated by this compelling change of events. Don&#8217;t hard sell this, simply put it out there and let people do the math. Don&#8217;t risk tainting your wonderful information with a sales pitch, but don&#8217;t leave those who want to buy without an option either.</p>
<p>As a Fitness Education Presenter you have many opportunities beyond being paid for each hour spent educating.  Presentation rewards should be far greater and last far longer than a single paycheck&#8230;. Be the authority.</p>
<p>Be sure to sign up for the mailing list on the right to keep up on many different niches, each of which may be great for serving as a fitness education presenter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a fitness professional the marketing of health can prove very challenging. <img class="alignright" src="http://images.paraorkut.com/img/funnypics/images/t/the_simpsons-12664.jpg" alt="" width="169" height="241" />Especially since this entire subject matter is left as an after thought when it comes to certification training as a fitness professional.</p>
<p>Besides seeking out competent mentors and/or appropriate trainings for marketing health &amp; fitness, it is helpful to look at what larger organizations are doing in regards to this type of marketing.</p>
<p>One example is from the British Government.  The &#8220;Change for Life&#8221; campaign utilizes a well known group of animated t.v. stars to spread the word&#8230; The Simpsons.</p>
<p><span id="more-182"></span>Through sponsorship of Homer and the family the Change for Life campaign is using those who are well <span style="text-decoration: underline;">known as the opposite of health</span> and through  creative graphic morphing, showing how dietary alternatives would make for a healthier Simpson family.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 191px"><img src="http://www.trendhunter.com/images/phpthumbnails/36690_1_468c.jpeg" alt="" width="181" height="141" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Corn Chip Anyone?</p></div>
<p>A second example of marketing health is exampled by the fast food and similar less-healthy industries.  Check out some of the creative junkfood marketing ads <a href="http://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/junkfood-marketing#" target="_blank">at this trendhunter article</a>, that, even though we know better, still get us coming back.  Sexy and economical work for fast food as well as most any other industry.</p>
<p>As a fitness professional, whether you like the sound of selling or marketing, you ARE marketing health.  Without it, no one will ever hear your message.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 258px"><img src="http://www.trendhunter.com/images/phpthumbnails/42574_1_468c.jpeg" alt="" width="248" height="166" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Selling Burgers?</p></div>
<p>Whether you creatively find an &#8220;opposite&#8221; to display how your service can improve the wellbeing of your prospect. Or, you utilize tried and true (sex/discount) methods that are effectively used by the industries we are often struggling to encourage our clients away from&#8230; you have to establish some sort of plan for marketing your health &amp; wellness offerings.</p>
<p>There are thousands of on-line and off-line options for marketing your programs.  But, what is often found among so many fitness professionals is the idea that by building their credentials the clients will automatically come. </p>
<p>&#8220;Build it and they will come&#8221; is rarely the case and one way or another you will need to strategically approach the issue of marketing health in order to reach others with the good word of health &amp; fitness.</p>
<p>Continue your fitness foundational learning, but don&#8217;t undervalue the need to learn principles of marketing and other related business skills.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well&#8230; the test didn&#8217;t workout so well.  The previous tombomar.com was broken. With several clicks of a few buttons and little bit of research for the quick turn around I think we got this back up with the previous posts in tow.</p>
<p><span id="more-144"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ll play with fixing the header to this site soon and see if I can get back on track for all you millions (3 including mom) of followers who like to see what&#8217;s happening with me and my role in the fitness industry.</p>
<p>The one thing this adventure should show any Fitness Professional is that creating a web presence isn&#8217;t rocket science&#8230; Heck, I did it and apparently broke it and now within a couple of hours have a new presence up and running again.</p>
<p>A web presence is essential for any fitness professional. I can work with you to create one, you have a choice of thousands of other independent web programmers you can go to, or like this little site&#8230;  do a bit of research and then build your own, WordPress site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Every year when putting together the details for the <a href="http://fit-beach.com" target="_blank"><strong>Fit Beach Fitness Conference</strong></a> I can&#8217;t help to get a bit excited. <a href="http://fit-beach.com"><img class="alignright" title="Fit Beach Fitness Conference" src="http://www.fit-beach.com/images/fb-flower-logo.gif" alt="" width="303" height="218" /></a>Spending a week with many friends and fitness industry leaders is always great, but throwing in a bit of the Jamaican culture at a luxury resort brings it to another level.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I learn a great deal. I play a great deal. And, walk away a bit sad knowing it will be another year before we run the conference again.</p>
<p>When <a href="http://fitbodiesinc.com" target="_blank">Fit Bodies</a> added <a href="http://fit-beach.com" target="_blank">Fit Beach</a> to their working vacation offerings this provided an added fitness education benefit for the traveling fitness professionals involved in their programs. Working with us, <a href="http://fitlaunch.com" target="_blank">FIT Launch</a>, continued that movement and also encouraged programs that would help the career and business side of being a fitness professional&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-135"></span></p>
<p>The development of the Fitness Pro Travel site took a large step in that direction and introduced the concept of <a href="http://tombomar.com/fitness-marketing/fitness-pro-affiliate-marketing/" target="_blank">&#8220;<strong>AFFILIATE MARKETING</strong>&#8220;</a> to many of you, and several are taking advantage of it now.</p>
<p>With this years Fit Beach we want to expand the Affiliate Program to encourage not only your participation, but also your referral of others to join the fun.</p>
<p>With your Fitness Pro Travel account you have a unique numeric identifier for your account. Simply provide this number to anyone you believe might enjoy Fit Beach and with their entry of your number on their registration form you make a commission from their attendance&#8230;. It&#8217;s that easy.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>OK, I&#8217;m making it even easier&#8230; If you have an account, they can enter your number OR your name to get you credit.</em></p>
<p>You can print and pre-fill the forms with your number or simply tell them of your number through any means you like and send them to the site for conference details and registration.  You decide what works best for you.</p>
<p><strong>BONUS</strong>: Receive your commissions for the referral, but also know that should 5 sign up with your code and you&#8217;ll be getting 100% of your conference registration fee covered.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="http://fit-beach.com" target="_blank">Fit Beach</a>.  Check out how using <a href="http://tombomar.com/fitness-marketing/fitness-pro-affiliate-marketing/" target="_blank">affiliate programs</a> can earn you added income<em> (also click the graphic question mark in the affiliate section of your FPT account)</em>.  And, join us while we train in the tropics this November 2-6.</p>
<p>This <strong><a href="http://fitnessprotravel.com/fit-beach.html" target="_blank">Fitness Pro Travel &#8211; Fit Beach</a></strong> link will break down your commission rates based on your membership level. (10%-30%)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">~~<br />
Keep in mind that nearly all professional workshops include master class portions.  These are ideal and available to registered, non professional, participants as well&#8230; what does this mean to you???</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">That means that when encouraging others to join the fun at Fit Beach, your clients, students, and family should be near the top of your list along with your co-workers.  There&#8217;s enough fun, entertainment and learning for all.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">~~<br />
Send your referrals to Fitness Pro Travel first to register using your affiliate code as well.  Not only will they then receive a reduced conference rate (with the purchase of a paid membership), but you&#8217;ll then carry the potential for other affiliate earnings at FPT.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding methods to having your products and services stick out from the crowd is essential to your business success.  This not always an easy task even with the many on-line and off-line tools available to the modern day fitness professional.</p>
<p>Event based promotions may be just the added boost you need to stand out.</p>
<p>When piggy backing on a known event you can greatly benefit by running your promotion in conjunction with it.  You do not have to be partnered or attached to an event. You don&#8217;t want to suggest that you are a sponsor, creater or affiliated directly with the event if you are not.  But, by running your event parallel to a known event based on the event topic, location, or time you have an excellent chance of bringing attention to your offering.</p>
<p>The most obvious example can be found through the actions of retailers over the years. Christmas, Valentine&#8217;s, Halloween, you name it and they are all over attaching their special offer to the event.</p>
<p>In the fitness industry the most common event that most attempt to tie themselves to is the New Years. It is a great theme of new beginnings that bring in many motivated new clients, students, and members, but if you look a bit harder you may see that these same principles can be used on more than just the holidays.</p>
<p>Consider ways to incorporate some of these &#8220;Events&#8221; into your promotions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Birthdays &#8211; yours, a presidents, a member&#8217;s</li>
<li>Charity happenings</li>
<li>Contest (yours or theirs)</li>
<li>Superbowl or other sporting event</li>
<li>TV show</li>
<li>Visiting Conference</li>
<li>Taxes due date (yes, I&#8217;ve seen this in another industry)</li>
</ul>
<p>The list can go on.  There are many niche events that exist and you can tie the launch of a new product/service, a fitness camp, or a wellness lecture to. Keep your eyes and mind open and you&#8217;ll find some great opportunities to encourage and increase the effectiveness of your promotions with &#8220;event based marketing.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fitness Pro Travel affiliate program was designed with a few thoughts in mind.  As a community member Fitness Pro, I hope you take advantage of the network affiliate marketing opportunity and also investigate further to other affiliate options.
This short video will be a great starting point.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a Fitness Pro <strong>affiliate marketing</strong> may be a totally new concept to you.  Well it&#8217;s not to many in the rest of the world, with thousands even making a career off of these types of offerings alone. <a href="http://fitprobiz.com"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-124" title="busmoney1x1" src="http://fitprobiz.com/imagesfpb/busmoney.jpg" alt="referral money" width="252" height="143" /></a></p>
<p>Judging by the number of questions I&#8217;ve received about adding this to the <a href="http://www.fitnessprotravel.com/cart.php?type=user&amp;page=accountinfo&amp;aff=9" target="_blank">Fit Pro&#8217;s</a> business mix, I have to believe this may be new to the majority.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Selling Other People&#8217;s Stuff&#8221;</strong> is an excellent way to diversify your personal or business offerings, provide valuable related products/services to your clients, and provide you a low/no hassle extra stream of income.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve played with affiliate marketing some and hope the below video gives you a descent overview of what it is and how it works.  The video is a much shortened version of a larger strategic and tactical training module, and it is specific to the <a title="Fit Pro Network" href="http://www.fitnessprotravel.com/cart.php?type=user&amp;page=accountinfo&amp;aff=9" target="_blank"><em>Fitness Pro Travel Professional Network</em></a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-123"></span></p>
<p>The Fitness Pro Travel affiliate program was designed with a few thoughts in mind.  As a community member Fitness Pro, I hope you take advantage of the network affiliate marketing opportunity and also investigate further to other affiliate options.</p>
<p><strong>Why we added Affiliate (referral) features:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Continue to encourage professional network growth</li>
<li>Compensate the membership who already refer 80% of the daily influx of new members</li>
<li>Assist our network members in keeping their businesses healthy through diversification of their offerings</li>
