This whole ‘world wide web’ thing has really taken off, hasn’t it?
It seems like everyone’s using it these days!
If you’re anything like us, you probably still pine for the glory days of Myspace, Ask Jeeves, and MSN Messenger. Such simpler times. (If you’re under 25, ask your parents.)
But life goes on and things evolve.
Like being able to instantly reach way more people than you ever thought possible when you first set up a Bebo page as a wide-eyed teenager on the family computer. (Again, ask your nearest millennial or Gen Xer.)
Remember that? One computer for everyone in the house! And you could only use the internet after 6pm if you didn’t want to bankrupt your parents. Crazy, looking back, now that the whole country and beyond is at our very fingertips!
But the problem with being able to connect and engage with everyone, everywhere, all at once, is that so can everybody else – this means your competitors in the fitness niche.
So, forget wistful remembrances of the Ghosts of Internet Past – you need to focus on the future. But how do you get with the times and ensure your online fitness business isn’t being left behind?
It’s all about having a clear lead generation strategy that attracts potential clients, nurtures relationships, and drives conversions.
Thankfully, this is simpler than it sounds – as long as you have the right plan and tools in place. Such as ScoreApp.
That’s what we’re here to show you: how you can use ScoreApp to find more leads, engage and pre-qualify your audience, and convert website viewers into actual paying clients and subscribers.
So, stick on your favourite noughties playlist (which, depressingly, the kids are calling ‘classics’ now), and let’s put your business at the very peak of the ole internet superhighway.
Why lead generation is essential for online fitness businesses
If you want to compete for attention in the ridiculously saturated digital space, you need to give the people something they want. Something that makes them sit up and take notice, then stick with you once they’ve found you.
So, let’s get you building relationships, establishing trust, and driving consistent revenue growth.
Here are seven tailored strategies to make your business irresistible and ensure you’re connecting deeply with your target audience – and how ScoreApp can help you deliver.
1. Create interactive lead magnets
A lot of online fitness businesses aren’t making the most of their opportunities to draw people in. They use the same old tired lead magnets people see a dozen times a day – we’re looking at you ‘Download your FREE ebook now!’ peddlers!
Not that there’s anything wrong with an ebook or a PDF guide, mind you. They definitely provide value. They’re just not particularly gripping as a way to make people take action.
Quizzes, scorecards, and challenges, on the other hand, now they attract attention by offering a ton of personalised value upfront, as well as being highly interactive.
For example, if you can offer a ‘Wellbeing Performance Score’ quiz or a ‘Personalised Nutrition Audit’ to engage potential leads, you’ll get people hammering down your virtual door to discover their results.
How ScoreApp helps: Try dozens of easy-to-use templates to create interactive quizzes and lead magnets to collect information and provide personalised insights.
2. Offer free value to entice sign-ups
To really cut through the mass of noise flooding the internet every minute of every day, you need to have a really enticing offer. Something that will stop people scrolling in their tracks and click your link.
Are you able to offer free trials to your services?
Can you provide genuinely useful downloadable resources (like goal-specific workout plans or meal prep guides)?
How about webinars that not only teach your leads something new, but also build trust because people get to see what you’re all about?
All of these are great incentives that attract clients and demonstrate your expertise from minute one.
How ScoreApp helps: Easily set up your scorecards or surveys to segment leads and offer tailored follow-ups based on their interests.
3. Leverage social media for lead generation
You may or may not like how different things have become since the early days of social media: when Facebook had a wall instead of a timeline, when X was still called Twitter, and when TikTok was nothing more than the sound your nan’s carriage clock made on the mantelpiece.
But you cannot deny it’s all ridiculously powerful.
Platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are now perfect for showcasing your fitness content and building trust – they’re no longer for ‘poking’ new connections or tagging your mates in the worst clubbing photos of all time taken on a digital camera after necking half a dozen £1 Vodka Red Bulls.
Now you can really build and engage an audience by running interactive campaigns such as polls, contests, or live Q&A sessions. So make the most of what these channels offer.
How ScoreApp helps: Easily share your scorecards, quizzes, and video courses directly on social media to capture leads effortlessly.
4. Nurture leads through email marketing
While social media sites have changed massively over the years, email systems have remained weirdly similar to how they’ve always been (with just a few bells and whistles added here and there).
This isn’t a bad thing, though. In fact, email marketing is more powerful now than ever. Your emails will still reach your leads directly – rather than you hoping the right people will see your social media posts and ads in their algorithm-randomised feeds.
So, make sure you maintain contact with potential clients through regular, valuable emails – think weekly workout tips, motivational stories, or client success highlights.
How ScoreApp helps: Automate your personalised email sequences based on quiz or scorecard results to ensure timely and relevant communication.
5. Use testimonials and case studies
One of the best ways to build credibility and attract new clients is to let them see what’s possible when they work with you by showcasing success stories from people you’ve already helped reach their goals.
Their wins are your wins, so be sure to highlight the value you provide by adding before-and-after client transformations, video testimonials, or other positive reviews to your landing pages.
How ScoreApp helps: Easily collect feedback and testimonials through surveys to strengthen your marketing efforts.
6. Run targeted ad campaigns
Of the many changes made to search engines and social media platforms over the years, one of the biggest is how powerful the in-built tracking and paid advertising capabilities have become.
Facebook and Google now allow businesses to reach a larger, yet more targeted, audience than ever before.
You can really drill down with your ad targeting to focus on niche audiences – so make this count!
This means using engaging visuals, giving a solid reason for viewers to click, and having a clear call to action that tells people exactly what their next step should be (‘Click Here To Discover Your Fit for Life Score Now’, for example).
How ScoreApp helps: Quickly and easily create exciting landing pages with scorecards that turn ad clicks into valuable leads.
7. Measure and refine your strategies
Because everything is so trackable and measurable these days, it becomes much easier to see what’s going right and what’s going wrong with your content and your lead magnets – so you can keep on tweaking and refining your strategies to improve your approach.
Some key metrics to monitor include:
- Quiz completions
- Email open rates
- Paid advertising clicks
- Social media engagement
- Conversion rates
How ScoreApp helps: Use in-depth analytics to track your campaign performances and optimise your strategies for better results.
