It takes just 3 steps to start selling your workout program. The steps are explained below.

Step 1. Create a workout plan 

When you are launching, you sell your workout plan to your followers. And you can sell more if you make a plan that meets your followers':

  • Interest and needs. Find out what posts your followers like more. These may be posts about weight loss, muscle gain, stamina improvement, etc. Thus, you can know what goals your program should help people to achieve.
  • Physical performance. Consider the loads your followers can manage. They may be newbies with low physical performance who need workout programs with little physical loads. And they may be amateurs who have already trained their bodies quite well, they need a program with heavier loads to get progress.
  • Understandable. Make instructions clear, avoid complicated terms, and explain exercises in detail.

Once you have created a workout plan, design it in a downloadable file that you can sell.

Step 2. Create a website for selling your workout plan

The next step is creating a website where you can sell your workout plan. You can do this in a website builder. We use Taplink to explain the steps. It has advantages over other web builders:
