One of the single largest determining factors in your success as a personal trainer lies in getting a coach or mentor to help you when times are tough, or when you simply are at a crossroads in your career and don’t know what to do or how to take your business or income to the next level.

I personally have coaches and mentors and people that I bounce ideas off of all the time. Without them, I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today, or gotten there as fast.

In fact, every single successful entrepreneur has at least 1 and usually many mentors, including some of the largest names in business and marketing out there.

Not one successful business person has ever made it to the top without someone else helping them, showing them the way, pushing them when times were tough, or making that one killer suggestion, remark or introduction that forever changed their lives and businesses.

So too it must be in your personal training and fitness business.

Increase Your Fitness Business Search Engine Ranking By Using Directories

By Chris Fernandez ¦ March 16, 2010 ¦ Comments 1

 

One of the ways to increase your fitness business search engine ranking is by making sure that you list your personal training website on as many human edited directories as possible.

These directories are patrolled and updated by human beings, unlike the search algorithms that are commonly used with most search engines, and therefore the big boys like Google, Yahoo and Bing often place a much higher value on links coming from directories.

This is especially useful to your fitness business because a link from one of these websites, both free and paid, can greatly increase your overall search engine “juice” and lead to higher rankings for all of your pages and the credibility of  your website, which leads to higher traffic and more clients.

In this post I’m going to explain why you need to submit your personal training,  boot camp or fitness business to these directories, which directories you should submit to, how long it will take for the results to show up, and how much it will cost you if anything. …Click to read more »
