I have a very basic website and want to add content, say from articles or information I learn from mentors of mine. My goal is to have a site where my clients can go and access all the great information and articles I research for their benefit. Eventually charging for access to the meat of the site,even exercises & training programs. Are there wesite formats to follow or a website building company you might recommend? Like everyone else, I'm on a low budget... but not for long :) THANKS for sharing your knowledge!!! Hi guys, I don’t even know where to begin my questions.. just like an internet site!

Definately about marketing strategies - how to bring more people to the boot camp. Many answeres to this state to contact previous clients, but what if you're new to the area? I moved to TN about 3 months ago, and it's so hard getting people to my boot camp! Seems that even local boot camps are struggling, but i KNOW i'm better than them! :) Thanks! Hi!

Recently my clients went from 3 to 1 to none. I need ideas/advice on how to promote myself. I am a Full-time Police Officer during the day and was training clients at night typically at their residence. Any and all advice would be appreciated. (On a side note in the Police world I can retire in exactly 13 months at the age of 46.) I worked for the larger gym(s) starting out then went out on my own.

My questions focus mainly around public speaking. You guys always talk about focusing on something that you're good at and really nailing it down as a client generating source. I really like the idea of going deep with public speaking and using it as my primary client generation strategy. So most of my questions focus on that: 1) What are the best ways to find associations, organizations and groups that are actively looking for public speakers? 2) Tips on structuring speaking engagements for maximum audience interest and for maximum conversion of listeners into qualified leads or clilents. 3) How to get paid speaking gigs once you have a reputation built. 4) What kind of toipcs work best for speaking gigs and how to organize your speeches for different lengths of time e.g. what to focus on if you have 5 minutes to speak vs 50 minutes to speak. 5) Different angles for speeches depending on the type of audience you're talking to, e.g. a swing dancing society will have a very different type of person in attendance compared to a business networking meeting. What kind of speeches would work best in each of these (and other settings)? Alright, I think I've given you enough food for thought for a while :) Thanks for your help! Hi Pat,

I hope you’re doing well.
