Hey guys, so since I´ve joined a couple of days ago I´ve been holding myself accountable and taking action every day. I´ve started to learn copy, Web Design, keeping up with the Online Marketing course I´m taking and also looking for a Slowlane job (got a call from ICBC, interview soon). With all that being said, I need to take some ACTIVE action, and by that I mean generating some sweet sweet dollars right now.
I´ve been thinking about which skills I got right this second that can help me generate some income without a big investment and my knowledge on fitness/nutrition is the only thing that has come to my mind. With that being said, I´m thinking of writing a fitness related e-book and offering nutrition and fitness gigs on Fiverr aswell. The main advantage I see by going this route compared to offering other freelance services is how much it adheres to the Commandment of Time, as, for example, once I´ve written a nutrition plan there are not many changes to be made for different customers, so even if I sell the plan for $5, it probably takes less than 5 minutes to get it done.
I also think there is a big opportunity right now for the vegan niche, as I´ve seen many more people being interested in veganism lately, and a bunch of vegans youtube channels are getting way more attention than before.
My main concern with going this route is how saturated this market seems to be (fitness in general, not the vegan niche). It looks like everyone and their moms are trying to sell a fitness/nutrition product. Let me be really clear about this: I´m not choosing this market because it is my passion and want to live from it forever, but simply because I´ve been training for a while now and I´ve got some knowledge about it that can be put to use right now, but whenever I get more experienced with other skills (Website Design mainly as it is the topic that interests me the most for now) I´m going that way, but it would be great to make some cash in the meantime.
It seems to me that the people that make serious bucks in this sector are the ones with a large following on social media, but I have no intention on going that way as:
1) Getting a big following in youtube/instagram,etc takes quite some time (generally around 2-3 years, and that´s if you are lucky)
2) It violates the Commandment of Time, as you become the brand itself, and people are only interested in consuming you, meaning you can´t detach yourself from the business, and making youtube videos + managing other social media is pretty much a full timejob.
So TLDR:
1) Do you have experience with this sector? Do you think there´s decent money to be made?
2) If you´ve published a fitness related e-book, what do you think it´s the best way to generate traffic and attention to it? Best way to market? Building a website VS just selling from Amazon,etc?
Thanks guys! Hope everyone is doing great!
