Recently a reader of this blog asked me to comment about those in the industry that are known primarily as internet marketers. While most in the strength training and fitness industries talk about these people with disdain, I’m not sure I totally feel the same in all cases.
I suppose the biggest issue that some people have with the internet guru who doesn’t work with someone in person is that they can’t possibly know anything about how things work in the real world. To this I say bullshit. My good friend Erik Ledin works primarily with bodybuilders and fitness competitors online and many of them are very successful. Maybe you don’t want to be doing rehab online, but I’m not about to discredit anyone who is doing something or selling something that works regardless of whether or not they’re currently in contact with people.
Guys like John Berardi, Alan Aragon, and Lyle McDonald all come to mind when talking about making money online and I have no doubts that they’re all putting out good content. As long as the content is good and it works for those who purchase it, I could care less who you’re working with. There are a LOT of shitty trainers who actually work with people so I’m not sure how this suddenly became the criteria we use to determine whose products are worth buying and whose aren’t.
It seems to me that with many trainers and coaches if you’re making a lot of money online you’ve sold out and you’re not given the respect you might otherwise deserve. To some trainers it appears that there is some sort of nobility to working endless hours until you’re burnt out and making minimal dollars until you reach the top. To me, if you’ve created a fat loss product and it works (and it isn’t full of typos and plagiarism – you know who you people are) you deserve every cent you make whether you’re working with a single person or not.
On the other hand, the people that piss me off are those with huge lists who become affiliates of everyone on the planet who has a product launch and endorse them without any concern about whether or not the new product is a giant pile of dog turd. These people, even if they have good products themselves, go on my blacklist because I have no respect for anyone who sells junk strictly for the sake of money.
Good products for money = Respect. Bad products for money = Blacklist.
And for the record, none of this is meant to discredit any of the guys killing it in the trenches and still putting out great products. You know who you are and these are always the top products on my list.
What are your thoughts on internet marketing and fitness products?

This week I’ve shared with you two blog posts in which Dr John Berardi talks about losing body weight (and body fat).
The first one talks about how important incentives are for changing your body. And it goes on to incentivize you with a whopping $10,000.
Could The Chance To Win $10,000 Help You Get In Shape?
The second one shows you how to coerce yourself into sticking to the plan, even when the motivation wanes.
Enter “the best kept secret in weight loss.”
Finally, today, I have one last post to share.
In this one, Dr Berardi talks about something called “accidental success.”
For most people fitness is a struggle. Others, however, seem to sail through life; they’re lean, fit, and strong, and they seem to do it effortlessly. Almost…by accident.
No, it’s not genetics. It’s something else. Something you too can use to get into the best shape of your life.

The other day I posted a link to a video of Dr John Berardi talking about his two latest programs – Lean Eating For Men and Lean Eating For Women.
Far and away, the most frequent questions had to do with his $20,000 prize – $10,000 to the top female winner and $10,000 to the top male winner.
To check out the blog post announcing this amazing prize click HERE.
Now, today, I want to share with you a post covering the flip side of the 10K prize. In other words, if the prize is the carrot, today’s video talks about the stick.
You see, Dr. Berardi’s a coaching expert. In fact, he’s probably the most successful nutrition coach in the health and fitness business.
And after speaking with him, I realized that there’s something powerful to this idea.
You see, the biggest transformations – body transformations or otherwise – are accomplished when people have big incentives.
And I’d say 10 thousand bucks qualifies as a big incentive all right.
But big inspiring goals also need some potential punishment. Or, some risk.
And in today’s video, Dr Berardi shows you how to coerce yourself into sticking to the plan, even when the motivation wanes.
Enter “the best kept secret in weight loss” HERE.
So, if you’re REALLY interested in changing your body and you’d like a little extra incentive for doing so, this is definitely a program you need to check out.
Again, this message is time sensitive. From what I hear there are A LOT of people clamoring to get in on the program.
So check out these posts below. I know you won’t be disappointed.

I usually don’t like to promote things, but when Dr. John Berardi dropped me an line the other day, telling me all about his new program, I thought for a second the guy had lost his mind.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I respect Dr Berardi. He’s recognized as one of the top nutrition coaches in the world. And his programs get people results. Fast. I’ve been reading and using his materials for years and he’s absolutely one of the best and brightest in the industry.
However, when I watched this video he sent over, and learned that he’s giving away $20,000 of his own money, he definitely got my attention.
Check out this blog post for yourself HERE.
Now, to qualify for this reward, you have to participate in his Lean Eating program. But that’s a no brainer. You should want to do that ANYWAY if you’re interested in body transformation because there is nothing else like it.
You get 6 months of world class coaching, the type of coaching you can’t find, well, anywhere. And, during these 6 months, if you achieve the best body transformation, you’ll win 10K.
Worst case scenario, you come out with the best body of your life. Best case scenario, you come out with the best body of your life, and 10 GRAND.
So, I highly encourage you to check out this post below. In it, Dr Berardi shares with you two critical components for body transformation success.
And then he tells you exactly how one man and one woman are going to swoop in and claim $10 G’s of his own money.
Now, this message is time sensitive. No, it’s not gonna self-destruct or anything. However, spots are limited in this program. And LOTS of people want in.
So, if you’re interested in finding out exactly how to eat to get in the best shape of your life, click the link below. 10 grand may be waiting for you on the other side:
