Success Stories:

Chad Tackett,

Global-Fitness.com

There are people who are successful on the web--making $100K or so--and then there are SUPER successes, people like Chad Tackett. Chad makes over $800,000 per year from his single website.

Not too shabby.

Global-Fitness.com is a subscription based site where members pay $59.99 to receive unlimited fitness consulting, two full years of exercise programs, access to 175 exercise videos, and much more. Global-Fitness, while in a very competitive market, has carved out its niche as one of the BEST places to get fitness information.

It took Chad most of a year, part-time, to create the initial content for the site--depending on his degree and experience as a sports trainer. The site went "live" in April of 1997 and today receives almost 30,000 visits per day and boasts 22,500 paying subscribers with 295,000 receiving its weekly newsletter.

More than just a little success.

1. Chad works hard.

This is a full-time job for Chad (he refers to it as "full-time plus".) He is by no means "retired".

Chad maintains the site with the help of 29 other fitness experts and 5 programmers, editors, etc. This means that his site is perpetually on the cutting edge.

Rather than maintain an expensive office, he has all of his staff working from their own home office--some of them keeping a separate job during their "regular" hours. The flexibility appeals to his employees and saves him on his bottom line.

8. He offers a contest "for members only."

As an added incentive, Chad provides a fitness contest that you must be a member to participate in.

9. Chad focuses on his affiliates.

Since a bulk of his sales come from his affiliates, Chad spends about 1/3 of his time just recruiting, training and motivating them. They are his "sales force".

10. Chad provides excellent customer service.
