Building a website

[SesO]

What is the best way to build a blog to get more clients to sign up for an email newsletter?

I'm a personal trainer, so I was thinking that I could start my own blog and get people signing up to a newsletter with tips, news and offers. The main aim is to get them signing up to a free training session and then hopefully get them to start buying personal training sessions.

Its just that I dont seem to be getting any business out of facebook and insta anymore. So I want my own businesss platform and want to start ranking for personal training.

Any tips on how to build my own website would really be appreciated. Thanks

This Fitness Podcast mentions that there are three ways to build a website, and I'd like to do it myself. I think that wordpress sounds to be the best software according to the podcast because it has professional looking themes. I've never built a website before, which is the easiest cheap version to use please?

Virtually every town and city in the UK already has long-established personal trainers with websites that will come up at the top for any relevant searches. So, you will need fairly deep pockets to get anywhere near competing.

You will need a professionally-built website to start with, then someone who knows what they’re doing to help you with the SEO and social media.

Wordpress. And then hours and hours and hours marketing the blog.

Its just that I dont seem to be getting any business out of facebook and insta anymore.

Probably because those platforms are saturated with people promoting the personal fitness businesses.

If you want to get people using your services you need to be available. Which means finding somewhere to do the training and putting up posters, handing out leaflets, running a stall in the local market and so on.

I completely agree with fisicx

I would focus on handing leaflets out and maybe going to local networking events to get your name out there. As highlighted above it is a saturated market and you will already have key players who will have a huge presence in your local market. Alex

Place your website job on peopleperhour.com and you will receive many proposals from web designers and web developers, know the difference. If you need a lot of tech stuff in the back end of your website you probably need a web developer, for basic website a web designer will do.

Put a low figure on your job offer to obtain low price from exp person, after studying all proposals and the rate of individuals who pitch for your job on pph, 4 or 5* on pph usually means they have good exp.

Read between the lines of their profile text to understand if they are any good. Select someone suitable who is offering the price you want to pay, but only accept if you can get away with paying a low deposit (in case they turn out to be no good, then you're only liable for your deposit amount if you want to walk away). play hard ball, it's not personal just business.

Once your website is completed you need very good SEO to get your site high in google, again place your seo job on pph, I've already written a long post on SEO today. Good luck.
