Selling Dieting advice on Ebay?
« on: January 07, 2009, 11:35:13 AM »
Most guys here have a pretty good basic and useable grounding in nutrition.

Ever thought about offering a "diet guru" service to just regular people?
Like a pre-contest prep guru, but just for the average guy/gal looking to lose weight.

advertise on ebay, fairly informal,

1-1 advice and meal plans tailored to the customer, e-mail/phone. correspondance.

I am not suggesting trying to start a business, but there are plenty of people on e-bay who would go for this kinda thing.

Well there are plenty of dieting BOOKS selling all over ebay,

Why not try catch a few browsers with the offer of a more personal dieting plan.....
I think it would be aimed at someone who was not actively looking for a diet coach, but happened to stumble upon the offer. If it's similar in price to some of the books, then i can see at least a few people trying it.

Plenty of people sell ebooks on ebay for like £0.99 each. I'm guessing they probably just made the stuff up themselves. At such a small price I'm sure lots of people think they'll give it a blast, if you state anything remotely useful in the ebook people will assume they've got their money's worth and won't complain. Next thing you know, with the traffic ebay gets you could potentially make £1000s.

i'd spend my hard earned money on tanji if i wanted real world results.  she has pretty much cut out all her weight training and is still in good shape and pretty muscular. this isnt a plug.
