📊 Here’s Why Tens of Thousands Flood to Nerd Fitness Every Week (And It’s Not Because of Their Content)
This is an old article on Detailed.com that has been since removed. I had saved the article in my RSS Reader and writing this summary based on it.
NerdFitness is a site that helps Nerds lose weight and get fit. The interesting thing about the site is the forums that have a category called ‘4-week challenges’ where people document their progress with a fitness goal and have accountability from others.
It’s an incredibly active area of the site. People are flocking to these challenges and love them.
Creating challenges is a great way to create a community and have an engaging audience. Having a forum is not a requirement, you can even do it in Facebook Groups nowadays.
Speaking of Challenges, have you always thought of building your own business, but don’t know where to start? You should register for the One Funnel Away Challenge.
In 30 days, you will learn how to market and sell products or services online using Funnels. In this challenge, you are trained every day by coaches who help you analyse the right market, create an offer for your customers, build a funnel and drive traffic to it. I have taken the challenge 3 times and it’s worth 100x the price you pay for it.
