So I’ve started making websites, and the niche that I’ve picked is fitness, and mainly fitness coaches. Started using linkedin, it’s been 2 weeks since I joined linkedin, tried to get clients but haven’t been able to close even 1. I know few people who are fitness coaches, made a website for them for free. I told one of them on linkedin that there was a issue on their site, they were like yeah I’ll fix it. I made a design for them and sent, saying hey take a look this might help, they were like yeah I’ll fix the issue. That’s it. Do I need to change the niche, or these trainers are not willing to pay cause they are happy with in person training. I don’t understand, many experts on here. Kindly let me know what should I try.
Well it wasn’t like I just said hey its bad, it’s not going to work. It was a bit better than that, their website is really bad and If they’d understand in the first place they won’t have a bad one. So I’m starting to feel that personal trainers aren’t really the ones who need a website, if they do, they haven’t come across my radar at the moment. And I’ve done on and off, 2 weeks consistently this time.
I know a guy with a gym that brings in about a million in revenue his site is incredibly basic but it doesnt matter because its all about his relationships in person and the community. Web design doesnt matter much for locally based services beyond contact forms.
So most of them won’t be willing to pay for a site altogether then?
I mean even gold gym has a pretty basic website
