The guys job is so mysterious, he's got an office with some random framed certificates behind him, going to auctions to buy cars, I'm just confused what he actually does for a living. Not hating on the hustle I always thought he was trainer or something.
There's nothing really mysterious about my business....its just evolved with time. So here's a brief history.
When I started the business in 2001, I was just doing in-home training and selling Vitamin Power supplements at the White Horse Flea Market. Originally at that time, the only equipment I sold was elastic bands and a home gym machine called the BodyRail. It was a very innovative and it gave a very brutal working which was its demise but you could mount it on the wall and it folding up taking a very nicely. At that time, ecommerce software was very expensive so I decided to get a product off Ebay called Online Store Creator for 29 bucks...it was a Malaysian product and quite glitchy....you couldn't use a period, comma, or semi colon or it would just crash but I liked it because it didn't require an SSL certificate which was also expensive.....instead it used a secure email script. Orders came in looking fucked up but enough to where I could process their credit card. Later on I opened an account with Olympia Sports and its currently the only company that I still sell products for.
In 2003, with Tom Princes help, I got an account with Europa Sports and started selling general supplements and then opened an account with Genesis Nutrition. Its also the time I started doing network marketing with Pre-Paid Legal.
2005: Started selling Kynoselen and other "Vet Products" along with gray market products.
2007: Stopped selling illegal products because my ex-husband didn't want me to. Same year and the following years was most profitable as I landed an agreement to sell the Turbobell 560 and 320 Adjustable Dumbells right at the time where adjustable dumbbells were the rage in addition to setting up an distribution agreement with YCY Health Centre in Canada...had to buy an initial 1200 dollars in goods but it was well worth it. It was the first year my sales exceeded 100k. Stopped training clients as I had moved to Sylva.
2008: Terminated from Pre-Paid Legal and moved to Advocare. Started building other ecommerce websites to sell other products...Caliber Grocery, Caliber Pool and Supply, GX Security, Conan Labs, because Google Merchant allowed listing products at no cost so I built a shitload of dropshipping sites at the time
2012: Started a newseltter site called Muscle World Order and eventually changed the name to Anabolic Mayhem. Also started creating niche sites with my start into the Affiliate Marketing business. The sites where auto-created and they were pretty shitty looking with crappy information. It worked this way: I took 200 dollars and bought 200 domain names from Godaddy because the ".info" domains were just 99 cents apiece at the time. So I had the sites like ....ForexBeast.info, SewingSoldier.info, BakingCookies.info, etc. I stuffed all of the websites into subdomains. I then loaded them with unblockable pop-up advertisements and added additional ads on the articles that paid a nickel or a dime for every click. I then loaded all of the domains onto a piece of software called Scrapebox which I ran on a server in Romania to ....well hit every Wordpress blog out there with comments in addition to creating thousands of backlinks. I may get a click or two on a website but when you have 200 websites ....well
The websites made money without me doing jack shit except to build it. Didn't last but about a year as Google changed the algorithm but I intend to do something similiar very soon.
2016. Shut down almost all of my websites due to Amazon which basically took out almost all of my distributors. Only ones I kept running was Budget Medical Supply, Caliber Gym Supply and Well Of Mimir which is where things are today.
2020: Rebuilding Well Of Mimir and restarting Caliber Fitness Solutions under the Woocommerce platform. The newer sites will combine affiliate marketing as a front page news site with adds along with selling products. Will be done by August. Started with Karatbars. Will also be building back some of the old websites like Caliber Grocery Supply since Amazon lost their advantage with shipping and are no longer under-cutting people. Leased an office in downtown Greenville to handle the new workload along with meeting clients....
And that's where we are at in life
