In my world, Dave and Bill DOES mean CyberHood Watch! And I am sure that is true with all the fans you guys have garnered over the years as well. And the circle gets bigger everyday. Thanks for listening man!

I passed this along to about a dozen of the top fitness bloggers online that I’ve become friends with over the past 2 years.

Most of us who are getting 4,000-5,000+ visitors per day, gave for 2+ years before ever seeing any sort of major return. Gary’s message is so inspiring, because his message and what he has done is exactly what I’ve seen work with my own eyes online.

All of the successful guys in the fitness niche work long after many people go to bed. When you get in “creation mode” time stands still, it is extremely enjoyable. When I’m in the zone with a post or writing a free report, I simply feel good. Others who I talk to say the same thing.

What really rang home with me about Gary, was to be yourself and magnify your personality online. The people who flop in our niche are the ones who hide and don’t put their photo’s and bio out there. More than ever people like to see “real people”. I talk about brew-fests, eating Happy Hour food, and things that are supposedly “Taboo” in the Health & Fitness Industry.

Each and every successful blogger I know has their own personal style that comes through when reading their stuff…and they all work as hard as hell (and love it).

This was a really inspiring recording!

One of the last statements Gary made, I hope those of you in for the long haul picked up on. Gary indicated that there is going to be a shift, to the tune of a Trillion advertising dollars. Once the model(s) exists for advertisers to reach, their audience they will capitalize those existing targets and those dollars will flow through those models.

For example, say Joe is a raving car enthusiast, it is his passion, anyone interested in cars knows Joe, and are loyal followers. Many dollars are spent by the auto industry in advertising – their standard avenues to reach potential customers are drying up; however, a new well was tapped in the Internet. Joe has highly targeted followers…where do you think the shift in those advertising dollars are going.

Branding – another vital key point Gary touched on. When you think Jack…Friday, when you think Gary…Wine, when you think Dave & Bill…Who? Okay -Okay…CyberHood Watch – Do not Forget It! And the reverse is true in the above example. Do not make me type it out.

Actually, it is worth another thirty minutes to go back and listen to this Webside Chat again.
