Fitness Marketing Blog Aimed At Helping Personal Training Entrepreneurs Explode Their Business
San Jose, CA — System 5 Enterprises today announced the launch of a fitness marketing blog dedicated to the fitness business owner an entrepreneur looking for help with their marketing , mindset, positioning and execution strategies as they build their personal training businesses. The blog, which can be found at: www.PTFitnessMarketing.com focuses primarily on the needs of personal trainers, boot camp instructors and those working in the health and fitness industry looking for unique, innovative strategies on how to make more money with their businesses by learning how best to serve their target audience and increase their revenue through effective marketing and differentiation. Topics will be wide-ranging and include: search engine optimization, online/offline marketing, website design, mindset, differentiation strategies, how-to webinars and tutorials on specific marketing strategies , fitness marketing blueprints and advertising funnels, personal training marketing strategies , boot camp marketing strategies, and many others. “When I first started personal training, I knew nothing about how to properly market and position myself to attract the types of clients that I was most passionate about training and make more money in the process,” stated Chris Fernandez, CEO of System 5. “It wasn’t until I had to learn all of this stuff the hard while perfecting best practices that I realized that I wasn’t the only one out there trying to make it as a personal trainer that would be in dire need of this type of information. That was the impetus behind this website.” “In fact”, continued Mr. Fernandez “various studies have shown that over 33% of personal trainers earn less than $20,000 per year in income, and 66% of personal trainers have 2 years or less experience in the field as personal trainers. This large discrepancy shows that there is a huge need in our industry for the knowledge and expertise necessary to run a thriving and successful business, not just learn how to be a good personal trainer.” PTFitnessMarketing.com will deliver actionable and timely fitness marketing and personal training marketing information in an entertaining, informal and personal style designed to make the topics of marketing a fitness business fun and interesting. This includes the use of personal anecdotes, occasional rants and fun-filled posts that will stimulate and educate. Through the content on the website, personal trainers will be able to learn specific marketing and execution strategies to create thriving marketing campaigns and businesses based on real-world and statistically driven information designed to leverage a personal trainer’s best assets into a marketable and recurring revenue stream. A large part of these strategies involve learning how to best market and position a fitness business to attract more clients, turn a higher number of prospects into actual clients and design a systematized business model that can be replicated and duplicated for lasting financial security. Stated Mr. Fernandez: “It’s not enough to just teach a personal trainer how to land one or two more clients. Rather, you have to show them how to grow a real business — from the ground up — to successfully acquire leads all the time, regardless of what is going on in the economy, or within their target niche.” “PTFitnessMarketing.com is a fitness marketing website designed with the fitness professional in mind and specifically to help them achieve not just a higher income immediately from all the knowledge and expertise they already possess, but more importantly, to show them how to properly leverage themselves for the future so that a personal trainer only works because they choose to, not because they have to. That’s the true power of what I’ll be sharing with the industry through this website.” About System 5 System 5 Enterprises, LLC is a company devoted to teaching personal trainers — regardless of background, experience or specialty — and anyone working in the health and fitness industry, how to market and position their business to attract more clients, increase cash flow immediately and ultimately, become financially independent. Please visit http://www.System-5-Online.com for more information. About PTFitnessMarketing.com PTFitnessMarketing.com is a fitness marketing blog dedicated to mentoring and helping personal trainers of any specialty, background or experience level, learn how to market and position their businesses to make 6 and 7-figure income modeling what works based on time-tested successful business strategies.

The Initiate’s Blog $8.95 The Initiates blog is a satirical and thought-provoking yarn about the second coming of Christ. Well, he said he would come back – so no big surprise there, but this time he turns up in Burnley, Lancashire of all places, his first public address being at a Golf Club Society dinner. Throughout his eventful six-month visit His world turns upside down. The wine in a mediocre restaurant is so bad that he turns it back into water. He eats a kebab after a few too many Boddingtons, resulting in the hangover from hell (sorry, couldn't resist), so it's nicely reassuring to know that even the son of God can't come up with the miracle cure for that. As only someone who isn't from our world can do, He provides unique tongue-in-cheek insights into modern life, and reminders of the idiosyncrasies which become obscured by the repetitive daily grind. His FKGs (five key goals) during his six month stint are to develop a VERY limited number of key personal relationships; identify a Plan B location (in case England proves to be a bad fit for the Mission); identify his medium-term modus operandi (i.e. for the following 2-3 years); monitor and gain an in-depth understanding of Earth's key issues, and their implications for the Mission and identify the strengths and weaknesses of Earth's major current religions, and the associated problems and opportunities these offer. |

Blog: CMS $109.93 PMHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Blog:CMS (formerly Nucleus XE) is a content management system written in PHP with a MySQL database. It attempts to integrate several opensource projects into a forked version of Nucleus CMS, including DokuWiki, PunBB, and an image gallery, using modifications written by its primary developer, Radek Hulan. The project is generally considered a premodded version of Nucleus CMS, rather than a full product in its own right. The Blog:CMS home page claims that it is used on thousands of websites worldwide. Hulan started the project after several debates with the rest of the Nucleus CMS development team centering around the revocation of his CVS access due to some suspicious changes to the code. Blog:CMS has suffered from some prominent public relations issues centering around Hulans attitude toward support requests , and many users have reported significant bugs. A project called Blog:Hack:CMS exists to convert Blog:CMS blogs to Nucleus CMS.

The Blog of War $12.99 Matthew Currier Burden founded www.blackfive.net , one of the most popular military blogs on the Internet. His blog began as an homage to a friend killed on duty in Iraq and quickly became a source of information about what was really happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. In The Blog of War Burden presents selections from some of the best of the military blogs, the purest account of the many voices of this war. This is the first real-time history of a war, a history written even as the war continues. It offers a glimpse into the full range of military experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq, from the decision to enlist right through to homecoming. There are powerful stories of soldiers in combat, touching reflections on helping local victims of terror and war, pulse-racing accounts of med-evac units and hospitals, and heartbreaking chronicles of spouses who must cope when a loved one has paid the ultimate price. The Blog of War provides an uncensored, intimate, and authentic version of life in the war zone. Dozens of voices come together in a wartime choir that conveys better than any second-hand account possibly can what it is like to serve on the front lines. |

Kiss & Blog $9.99 What’s the best revenge when your best friend ditches you for the popular crowd? Alyson Nol reveals all in her hot new young adult novel. As freshmen at Ocean High last year, Winter and her best friend Sloane thought they could ditch their nerdy past, launching from invisible to cool. But after another miserable year of standing on the sidelines they make a pact to do whatever it takes not to go unnoticed in their sophomore year, promising each other that whoever makes it into the cool group first will bring the other along. One Sloane gets a taste of life on the A-list, she slams that door in Winter’s face. Suddenly cast out of her former best friend’s life, Winter takes revenge the modern way: by announcing all of Sloane’s dirty little secrets on an anonymous blog. Then the blog becomes more popular than she ever dreamed and Winter must decide if her retaliation is really worth the consequences–and if the price for popularity is one she’s willing to pay. Once again, Alyson Nol navigates the tricky waters of the high school social scene with the heart and humor her readers have come to love. |

The Personal MBA $19.99 A world-class business education in a single volume. Getting an MBA is an expensive choice-one almost impossible to justify regardless of the state of the economy. Even the elite schools like Harvard and Wharton offer outdated, assembly-line programs that teach you more about PowerPoint presentations and unnecessary financial models than what it takes to run a real business. You can get better results (and save hundreds of thousands of dollars) by skipping B-school altogether. Josh Kaufman founded PersonalMBA.com as an alternative to the business school boondoggle. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. Now, he shares the essentials of entrepreneurship, marketing, sales, negotiation, operations, productivity, systems design, and much more, in one comprehensive volume. The Personal MBA distills the most valuable business lessons into simple, memorable mental models that can be applied to real-world challenges. The Personal MBA explains concepts such as: *The Iron Law of the Market: Why every business is limited by the size and quality of the market it attempts to serve-and how to find large, hungry markets. *The 12 Forms of Value: Products and services are only two of the twelve ways you can create value for your customers. *The Pricing Uncertainty Principle: All prices are malleable. Raising your prices is the best way to dramatically increase profitability-if you know how to support the price you’re asking. *4 Methods to Increase Revenue: There are only four ways a business can bring in more money. Do you know what they are? True leaders aren’t made by business schools-they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to succeed. Read this book and you will learn the principles it takes most business professionals a lifetime of trial and error to master. |

100 First Pages $40.95 This book is called 100 First Pages because that’s what it is. Each page in the book is ’supposed’ to be the first page of a novel. Next to that page, on the left, are my comments about how the novel might go, along with some of my personal thoughts on the ’subject’. That’s the best part, because it is a mini-encyclopedia, almanac, journal and, to some extent, a blog. The book covers a large array of topics and genres. When you buy the book and read it, you can go to my website listed in the back and vote for your favorite BEGINNING. You can also suggest a title for the book. I promise that I will write the novel which receives the most votes for publication AND if you are the person who suggests the Best Title, i.e. the one I will use, you will get a cover credit, an entire page inside to write anything you like and one dollar for every copy sold!

Roadside Crosses $1.21 The Monterey Peninsula is rocked when a killer begins to leave roadside crosses beside local highways — not in memoriam, but as announcements of his intention to kill. And to kill in particularly horrific and efficient ways: using the personal details about the victims that they’ve carelessly posted in blogs and on social networking websites. The case lands on the desk of Kathryn Dance, the California Bureau of Investigation’s foremost kinesics — body language-expert. She and Deputy Michael O’Neil follow the leads to Travis Brigham, a troubled teenager whose role in a fatal car accident has inspired vicious attacks against him on a popular blog, The Chilton Report. As the investigation progresses, Travis vanishes. Using techniques he learned as a brilliant participant in MMORPGs, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, he easily eludes his pursuers and continues to track his victims, some of whom Kathryn is able to save, some not. Among the obstacles Kathryn must hurdle are politicians from Sacramento, paranoid parents and the blogger himself, James Chilton, whose belief in the importance of blogging and the new media threatens to derail the case and potentially Dance’s career. It is this threat that causes Dance to take desperate and risky measures… In signature Jeffery Deaver style, Roadside Crosses is filled with dozens of plot twists, cliff-hangers and heartrending personal subplots. It is also a searing look at the accountability of blogging and life in the online world. Roadside Crosses is the third in Deaver’s bestselling High-Tech Thriller Trilogy, along with The Blue Nowhere and The Broken Window. |

Soft Weapons $23.75 Azar Nafisi s Reading Lolita in Tehran, Marjane Satrapi s comics, and Baghdad Blogger Salam Pax s Internet diary are just a few examples of the new face of autobiography in an age of migration, globalization, and terror. But while autobiography and other genres of life writing can help us attend to people whose experiences are frequently unseen and unheard, life narratives can also be easily co-opted into propaganda. In Soft Weapons, Gillian Whitlock explores the dynamism and ubiquity of contemporary life writing about the Middle East and shows how these works have been packaged, promoted, and enlisted in Western controversies. Considering recent autoethnographies of Afghan women, refugee testimony from Middle Eastern war zones, Jean Sasson s bestsellers about the lives of Arab women, Norma Khouri s fraudulent memoir Honor Lost, personal accounts by journalists reporting the war in Iraq, Satrapi s Persepolis, Nafisi s book, and Pax s blog, Whitlock explores the contradictions and ambiguities in the rapid commodification of life memoirs. Drawing from the fields of literary and cultural studies, Soft Weapons will be essential reading for scholars of life writing and those interested in the exchange of literary culture between Islam and the West. |
