I am thinking to try to become some kind of internet calisthenics guru

2017-06-27 17:32:11 UTC  

just a vague thought

2017-06-27 17:32:44 UTC  

you could do that

2017-06-27 17:33:00 UTC  

my angle on the training is quite unique

2017-06-27 17:33:26 UTC  

but on the other hand I don't really want to teach it to people, I actually actively don't want most people to know what I know

2017-06-27 17:33:32 UTC  

so that's balanced against the desire to do it just as a project

2017-06-27 17:33:52 UTC  

just do what I do and write a blog that nobody reads

2017-06-27 17:35:27 UTC  

the problem is people are always stalking me online

2017-06-27 17:35:35 UTC  

so there's that too

2017-06-27 17:36:12 UTC  

I could only safely do it after my job-independent income stream had grown to a level that could support me

2017-06-27 17:36:15 UTC  

who is stalking you

2017-06-27 17:36:19 UTC  

how is that going btw

2017-06-27 17:36:22 UTC  

various people from various encounters

2017-06-27 17:36:36 UTC  

so far so good, but if I open a successful amazon store it'll go a lot better a lot quicker

2017-06-27 17:36:49 UTC  

ex girlfriends, forum people with grudges, antifa

2017-06-27 17:36:58 UTC  

couldn't you make the calisthenics thing your job-independent income. Just do like a patreon link on your youtube or whatever

2017-06-27 17:37:06 UTC  

well that's part of the issue

2017-06-27 17:37:15 UTC  

that isn't an effective way to make jobless money

2017-06-27 17:37:38 UTC  

the time/work invested vs ROI is not good

2017-06-27 17:37:41 UTC  

lately I see a lot of people (podcasters) doing a free section and a subscription section

2017-06-27 17:37:53 UTC  

where they'll have a free hour and another 2 hours to the show for subscribers

2017-06-27 17:38:23 UTC  

my stuff is basically mixed martial arts conditioning/strengthening for people who live like nomads or are ultra poor etc

2017-06-27 17:38:33 UTC  

seems like an interesting model. doesn't rely on extreme numbers.

2017-06-27 17:38:48 UTC  

so most of the site is teaser and the best stuff is paid

2017-06-27 17:39:15 UTC  

it's not that bad. It's like half and half.

2017-06-27 17:39:24 UTC  

or 1/3 to 2/3

2017-06-27 17:39:36 UTC  

there's good free content but just more content for subscribers

2017-06-27 17:40:46 UTC  

so what I would have to do then is first gauge demand for info on that topic

2017-06-27 17:41:22 UTC  

and then gauge demand for other possible calisthenics content. For example what if they just want to watch me work out like a super retard hardass so they can use it as motivation? That's basically all frank medrano does

2017-06-27 17:41:45 UTC  

so I guess before I did anything I'd have to sit and brainstorm what possible "calisthenics products" I could even sell, then separately study demand for all of them

2017-06-27 17:41:50 UTC  

Yeah

2017-06-27 17:41:59 UTC  

videos, guides, some stupid product like Perfect Fartup etc

2017-06-27 17:42:04 UTC  

You might offer custom program planning

2017-06-27 17:42:33 UTC  

so how much would they pay me to make it worth the time?

2017-06-27 17:42:49 UTC  

@Deleted User 57835c2c OT but do you have any advice for conforming to a word count ceiling on a writing assignment?

2017-06-27 17:42:50 UTC  

If you're paywalling your best advice already I understand.

2017-06-27 17:42:53 UTC  

vs just making some video or guide and selling it to thousands effortlessly once it's made

2017-06-27 17:43:08 UTC  

dunno. I see bodybuilder faggots selling "custom" plans on IG for $50-100

2017-06-27 17:43:22 UTC  

that's the good part - "custom"

2017-06-27 17:43:29 UTC  

it could be them mixing and matching a bunch of predone stuff

2017-06-27 17:43:34 UTC  

yeah
