I’ll be honest.
I totally blew it in November.
I only was only able to get one post live.
That is a new record low for me and I hang my head in shame.
But, I promise to do better and December will be a much better month, I promise.
In fact, I’ll give you a little heads up on what I’ve been working on in hopes it will make up a little for the lack of posts.
Here we go…
I have two articles ready to go live which I’m excited about. One is called “10 Things You Need to do for Greater Success in 2010″ and the other talks about email marketing strategies that get your prospects to respond.
Both of which are based on my own marketing plan so stay tuned.
Not only that, but I will kick off a new series on search engine optimization. We’ll cover all of the ABS’s and 123s to help you get your Martial Arts school ranked for the right keywords in Google, Yahoo and Bing.
So, stay tuned as there is a lot more to come!

I'm Ryan Wheaton and I work with martial arts school owners to help them attract more students. Many martial arts school owners are confused at how to best market their business and feel awkward in selling situations. I help them overcome those challenges to become confident and competent in marketing and selling their services - helping them become more profitable so they can live the lifestyle they want to live.
Dear Ryan,
I just wanted to take a moment and say “Thank you” for posting such great information and so much of it too!
I’ve been in the Martial Arts for 38 years, and teaching for a good portion of those years. During late 80′s and through the 90′s I’ve had 3 different store front locations, all of which I’m ashamed to say went belly up.The reason being, I suck at the business end of things. I’ve taught in my basement/ back yard for the last 4 years and have just recently moved into a fitness club.
Armed with greater determination and the information I’ve read in your site, I feel confident that this time around, my school and I will be more successful.
Again, thank you so very much for all that you’re doing and continue to do!
Sincerely,
Sifu Raymond Bennett
I really appreciate that Raymond! It really helps keep me motivated and made my day to read your comment. Also, I taught out of a fitness club for 8 years so I definitely can appreciate what you’re doing. It can be very rewarding as you build your base of students and eventually get some instructors that way. I highly recommend this approach to anyone who wants to get started teaching the martial arts because it’s lower overhead each month vs. a stand alone facility. It’s a good launching pad to your own stand alone place. Thanks again!
