–EXCLUSIVE PALATNIKFACTOR.COM INTERVIEW–
Today we’re talking with owner Franklin Antoian regarding how iBodyFit is succeeding online and what online marketing strategies are taking his business to the next level.
Q: Franklin, thanks for taking the time to do this interview. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how the idea for iBodyFit.com came about?
A: I am a Personal Fitness Trainer. I genuinely love getting people fit and healthy. I work with my clients one on one in their homes in Palm Beach, Florida. My services are
$100 /hr. However, most people do not have that in their budget. I decided to take my unique training style and offer my services world wide with iBodyFit.com. Online clients can now get a month of personal training for less than the cost of 1 hour in person!
Q: What online marketing strategies are you currently implementing?
A: We are currently using affiliate marketing with fitness and health websites, blogs, and e-book owners, such as Kelley Herring at www.healinggourmet.com. The advertising is free and the commissions/sales are excellent. Email newsletters work well, too.
Our website is amazing and stands for itself. We have to thank our web designer, Jon Moldofsky at www.JGrantDesign.com
Q: What online marketing strategy is proving to be most successful?
A: N/A
Q: How is search engine marketing (pay-per-click and/or SEO) playing a role with your online marketing if any?
A: I started with pay per click advertising, but the cost was too high compared to the results. SEO is a better way to go, in my opinion. Better to put money into SEO.
Q: What type of social media marketing is currently being used to market iBodyFit.com?
A: You have to be on facebook, twitter, myspace and more if you want to succeed with an online business. By nature, I am a private person. This is a challenge when it comes to ‘putting yourself out there’ in social media, but I am working with the talented team at unu2.com for this.
Q: What’s in the future plans for iBodyFit.com?
A: To get everyone in the world fit and healthy.
Q: What would be your advice for someone who wants to or is just starting a business online?
A: Simple. Do what you love. Put your heart and passion into your business. The money will come later.
Thank you for sitting down with us today Franklin and wish you and iBodyFit.com much success.
