For the sake of keepin gthis post short and to the point. Your domain name is not your time to try and be cute. If I see one more terrible domain name, im going hurl. Hint: Your domain name is as important as your business name itself. If you pick a domain name that is irrelevent, weird, or hard to spell or pronounce you are making a mistake. Here is an ecample, if someone types in personal trainer chicago and they are looking for a trainer to help them get into shape, and they are presented with 2 ads…

One says…

PrimalPhysiques.com and the other says…. www.personal-trainer-chicago.com

Which one would have a better response. Some people may click on the PrimalPhysiques to see what the heck that means:)

I hope this helps you the next time you think about buying a domain name. Sometimes you may need to be creative when choosing personal trainer domain names, use dashes if you can’t get the regular url like chandler personal trainer

I had a brief discussion the other day with a friend who was impressed by my knowledge of marketing but insisted his business was different and I couldn’t help him. Then I told him about one of my other client success stories, Thea, who uses my marketing domination techniques to dominate in her surf lesson business. She offers surf lessons in ventura and also surf camps in oxnard / ventura. So by the way if you are ever looking to learn how to ride the waves, check out her site:)

My point is, it doesn’t matter what business you are in, all the principle are the same. From surf lessons, to Salsa Dancing, to Car Sales, I challenge you to find a niche where my strategies won’t work.

Don’t be stuck with the “my business is different” mentallity, it will hold you back forever.

If you are not taking advantage of web video in your marketing, you seriously need to stop what you are doing and think about this. You can easily make short commercials for your business for a few hundred dollars. Heck you can even do it yourself if you can learn some simple software.

I know how important it is to use videos, and I use them in all my marketing. I mean what better way to get your message a crossed. Why rely on the hope that they actually read what you wrote on your website. I got news for you, they won’t..

Let’s take a look at a great personal training video that I made for some of my gold clients.

You will see the video covers the benefits of personal training and targets the emotional “hot buttons” that your potential clients respond to.

The video ends with a great call to action, telling prospective leads to contact them for a free personal training session.

That’s it folks. What used to costs thousands, now cost hundreds or less. Don’t put it off any longer, your competitors will beat you to the punch.
