Filling The Media Gap

You need to hit “Publish” more. When people in your community want to know, “How do I lose weight?” they should immediately think, “I know – I’ll ask Dave!” I’ve been writing about your need to establish authority for years. We give TwoBrain clients tools to do it: 30-day content challenges, prewritten emails and templates, and even Fill-In-The-Blanks video. Your business relies on media. If you own a CrossFit gym, and haven’t been publishing content you made yourself, then you’re relying on HQ to do it for you. So far, that’s been working…at least, a little bit. Counting on HQ to make your media is like counting on your clients to tell their friends about you. It’s a beautiful wish. But it’s too passive. Time to start producing your own. And social media doesn’t count: Facebook and Instagram are distributors of content, not hosts. Here’s a cue to get you going. First, ask yourself: am I more comfortable talking in front of a camera; writing a blog post; or recording myself with a microphone? It doesn’t matter which is best. Pick the one you’ll do. Second, set a clock for ten minutes. You know how to do that. Third, start with this sentence: “My name is _____, and I opened my gym because…” Then just tell your story. End before the clock stops. But go ahead and use the full ten minutes if you want. Then, publish your recording. Publish the FIRST take. Video: upload to YouTube. Upload to Facebook. Upload to Instagram TV. Blog: publish on your website. Email to your list. Audio: Publish to your podcast.   Do NOT try to make this first one perfect. Quantity is still more important than quality. It’s just important to build the habit. Tomorrow, tell another story.   Until today, CrossFit Media has been doing a lot of your job for you. They’re attracting attention to your brand; they’re giving you ...

16 Years, Still A Beginner

by Josh Martin, TwoBrain Mentor   Back in 2002 or 2003, my brothers started attending a place in our hometown called Velocity Sports Performance. Maybe some of you have heard of this place. In talking with the coaches there, my parents told them that I happened to be going to the University of Florida to study exercise science. They said: “You should have him stop by next time he’s home to see what we’re all about…we think he’d like it.”   That was all it took.   After that, I spent every waking moment I could just hanging out there. Asking questions. Watching training sessions. Studying books and videos. Learning everything by basically following all the coaches around like a lost puppy. Anything that they needed to be done, I was the first to dive at the opportunity.   Sweep the floors? I’ll do it!   Reorganize equipment? I’m on it!   They taught me how to watch and analyze movement in the real world, not just a textbook. They taught me how to write up a single training session and how that single session tied into the overall plan for a specific athlete or even an entire team.   But through all that – the shadowing, the learning, the questions – I still hadn’t officially coached yet. But one day I was sitting in the coaches office talking with them and glanced at the clock – 3:50…about 10 minutes before the next class starts. This struck me odd as normally by this time all the coaches were out on the floor, mingling with the incoming athletes – checking in, seeing how they were doing, etc. I ran out of the office to make sure we had people coming in. Sure enough, we did. I came back in to let them know people were out there and I received a “Ok, we’ll be there in a second.”   Five minutes ...

If you utilize paid digital advertising, chances are you are rapidly adding people to your newsletter list.   And even if you have not been running paid ads or if you’ve been less aggressive on that front, you should still be adding people to your list every day through your website, organic search and through the content you put out.   As your list grows however, you’re going to have people who become inactive – people who have stopped opening your emails or who haven’t taken acton with you. You’ll also, of course, have another subgroup of people who used to be members but are no longer your clients for whatever reason.   What can you do with this segment or sub group of inactive subscribers? What steps can you take to get them to re-engage with your business? Click to watch to find out!
