Hey Guy's
I am doing a few pieces on making money as a Bodybuilder with businesses on the side. We all know that the Bobydbuilding is not a Great Money maker compared to other sports! I have tried quite a few ideas to make money, some have worked and some have cost me money. I have done training DVD's, E-Books, On-Line stores. My latest venture is Custom clothing for Bodybuilders, Maternity wear and some other catergories. http://www.cafepress.com/grundy I am intersted in some ideas you guy's have on what has worked and what has failed from your experience and any ideas you may have. Bob Chicerillo is one of the best at making money and promoting him self. So who are some of others and what are some good businesses to try.

Hey Guy, hope all is well with you!
Watch trends. Find a supplement, a craze, an emerging demographic, a need not being met, an offering that people cannot get, and put yourself in a position to deliver it to them easily with professionalism and dependability.
Remember, those with the truly sustainable competitive advantages won't discuss them here - doing so would encourage a hundred newbies to enter their field tomorrow.
The US market is slightly tight. 2 million homeowners are looking at some trouble. So supplement sales are going to take a hit, as they are non essential. We see the top company restructuring over a case of
Arson 
The biggest legal loophole of the last 2 years is closing (anti-aging, dentists giving out cases of gh, etc), and that was very profitable for people. Something will replace it - too many people out there with disposable income looking to stay alive longer and feel better while they're here. As tensions rise worldwide, youll have more desperation here (fucckit, why not use dbol, the world will end soon anyway), as well as people squirreling away their $. But with economic recovery of a new admin and scaling back of war, recession might subside. Look for cautious yet easily sold public over next 2 years. Find a hole in what the mkt is offering. I make a living from the sport although I will never step on a stage. Just keep doing what you're doing - extending branches like this. Somewhere, there's a kid reading this with a million dollar idea, who needs a top bodybuilder and known name like yourself to open doors for the idea. Find each other, capitalize on what is out there, and just try to stay alive. My belief is that anti-aging will continue to be the best area to work in - half the population is hitting 50 or above, and none of them want to die. Fountain of youth is where the $ is. And I"m here if anyone has any good ideas they wish to market, grow, or sell with a website
God bless ya man!
