Taking a step in a new direction

To everyone who reads my blog, and likes the posts I’m sorry for not writing for 2 months. It’s not that I didn’t have the time or didn’t wanna write, I really just wasn’t motivated to write anything. Every idea I had for a post seemed rehashed and too general so I just stopped writing. Alright now that I got that out of the way, lets move on to what this piece is really about.

I’ve mentioned before that I had plans before of building up a great network of gambling sites and blogs, which I know would have done very well. But to be truthful, I’m in a different place now than I was when I wrote those posts. I used to be a huge poker player and sports bettor a few years ago. I was really into both and I spent a lot of time watchin games and playin tournaments. I was always reading about poker as well and learning as much as I could. A lot of crap has changed since then….. I don’t bet on sports anymore, and I haven’t played a hand of online poker in prolly over 2 years. I’m just not into either of them as much anymore.
While the poker and gambling websites are fun and the money is great, I feel like there’s always this slightly empty feeling about it all. I don’t have a real connection with the people who I profit from, and in all essence Im not really adding a ton of value into their lives. Nothing I’m doing for them is really life changing. It’s not something they’ll tell their friends and family about.

With that said, my new project is going to be a fitness site. I’ve partnered with my personal trainer on the site, and we’re out to create a great community and truly make a difference in people’s lives. After doing research for the project, I feel like it’s going to be very profitable and also make a huge difference in the lives of our community. If I can get people to change their lifestyle and exercise more, eat better, live longer and feel more confident about themselves all while making some good money then I think I have a winning combination.

We’re going to be going after many different streams of revenue with this site and I think our business model is as solid as can be.  We’re going to use a combination of products, subscription and some affiliate sales.  The more I get into this, I’m starting to realize there’s so much more money to be made through other revenue streams besides affiliate marketing.  I’m really pumped to be able to do some big time email and PPC marketing.  There’s a lot to learn still, but were on the right path….

I’ll keep ya updated…
