'4 Easy Marketing Steps That Will Grow Your Fitness Business If your first thought is \"easy marketing\" is a myth, you\'re not alone. Truth is that marketing isn\'t hard, but getting distracted by shiny objects is easy. When you want to buckle down, focus on how to get leads, clients, and recurring revenue though you have to ignore shiny objects and do the one thing hardest of all. You have to trust someone else. Unless you\'re a marketer, a website developer, an SEO expert, a Facebook ads manager or know how to write copy (ALL of which you should know SOMETHING ABOUT, by the way) you have to eventually turn it over. Someone else will get far better results in far less time and your time is better spent. So my guest in this show is my trusted resource. Jonathan Kraft is a digital strategist who has contributed well over 1,000 how-to videos to YouTube since 2006. His videos have had more than 10 million views. He and his wife spent 2 years traveling the world from 2009-2011 on income earned solely from affiliate marketing. He\'s traveled to more than 40 countries and speaks German and Spanish in addition to English. He is best known for helping small businesses who have something going online already to become medium sized businesses. He does this by helping them improve their branding, marketing, site structure, search presence, and business strategy. He has worked with online businesses across industries, from professional speakers to investment firms, and from health clinics to online retailers, including a few mentioned below: FlippingFifty.com MattressInsider.com (Custom Mattresses) MobileSleepComponents.com (Wholesale Mattresses for RV and Boat Dealers) AnnmarieGianni.com (Skincare) ChrisBeatCancer.com (Health/wellness) TheEducationDoctor.com (Education) ReviveCenters.com (Health Clinic) DezThornton.com (Professional speaker coach) MistiBurmeister.com (Corporate Performance Trainer and Speaker) ConcussionRepairManual.com (Health care) LaraAdler.com (Environmental Toxins Expert) SolutionsInLowVision.com (vision screening and aid for the blind and visually impaired) That\'s an impressive list.

Find out how much traffic, which pages, what blog content people enter on, and if they come from social or direct traffic. Do you get organic traffic? Known now and then track as you implement the easy marketing steps from todays post. Pssst. From SCWfit.com to ICAA to Athletic Business to Fitness Fest, I can share that less than 50% of business owners or social media managers use Google Analytics. WHAT? It\'s the only way to find out if your marketing is making headway. You\'ll learn what pages people come to and how they get there. You\'ll learn if they\'re coming from social media, direct to your URL, or from referral. You\'ve got to know your numbers. It makes easy marketing more realistic. You\'ve got to have a goal! You\'ve got to have a benchmark to measure against. Yes, ultimately revenue. But if you don\'t know where and why it\'s coming to you? It\'s random and a roller coaster. Thanks for listening.
