OK, now that the bad weather (ice/sleet) here in Texas has passed and I'm caught up with everything, it's back to my every once in a while blog post.
We've been talking about websites, newsletters, autoresponders and such.
Hopefully, you've been reading these posts and are starting to understand how you can change your website from a "look at me" site to a money making profit source.
Here are some other ways to capitalize on technology and websites.
Youtube.com - everyone should know about youtube. And all bodybuilders, fitness and figure competitors should be using youtube. Here are the steps to get a short clip or video up on youtube.com in just a day.
1) Shoot some video.
It could be a video of yourself explaining your website launch, or your new eBook, or you could go over something within your area of expertise.
2) Import the video.
With some cameras you can simply upload the footage to the web which is easiest, but personally I like to edit my footage so I can cut, add and smoothout the video.
3) Upload the video to youtube.com
Set up a free account at youtube.com - it takes minutes. Then you'll be able to upload your own videos . This is an extremely valuable skill to develop.
I am coming out with a product at www.fitnessvideosuccess.com in which I will go into great detail about how and why you must learn to master video if you are in a visual activity such as bodybuilding, fitness or figure. And if you want to make money at what you love doing.
Next time we will get into more specifics of youtube and other resources.
Thanks,
Scott

Lee Priest
As most people in the bodybuilding and fitness world know, Lee Priest is one of the most popular "characters" in bodybuilding.
Lee is from Australia, has been competing professionally since the early 90's and lives a happy go lucky life.
He's fun to be around - plus he likes to eat (like me).
Once I came up with the concept of www.bodybuildersreality.com, I wrote the copy and designed the website ALL BEFORE HAVING A MAIN CHARACTER!
I didn't wait.
This is important.
I knew that in order to be "First to market" I needed to have everything in place asap.
This worked well because once I contacted Lee, all I had to do was to point him to the website (www.bodybuildersreality.com) and he could see for himself and understand what it was that I was trying to do with this project.
The problem was...I didn't know Lee personally.
And he didn't know me at all.
But, we both lived in Austin, Texas.

So, one day I emailed him, proposed the idea of bodybuildersreality.com to him.
It took several days to get an answer but once I did, it was what I was hoping to hear.
Lee's answer was "Yes" and he thought that the project would do well.
So, to sum up, if you had told me that I would be working with Lee someday in the area that I love (bodybuilding and fitness) and I would be making money doing it - I probably wouldn't have believed it.
So how does this affect you.
Well, what moneymaking fitness/bodybuilding ideas do you have that might allow you to work with someone whom you admire?
Stop waiting around and take action!
