What ways are you drawing attention to your IDEAFIT profile?

Hi everyone. I work on the IDEA FitnessConnect team and I just wanted to chime in and give you some insight into what we are working on and how you can get a head start on benefiting. As the traffic on Ideafit.com grows, we are looking to direct more and more potential clients to qualified fit pros. To do that we will be launching some new initiatives that will emphasize discovery of fitness professionals in ways other than searching in a city or zip code. I can't tell you exactly what we are working on yet, but I can give you these tips in the meantime:

Social links on your profile:
- Having your Twitter account and FB account hooked up to your profile will be important. Also tweeting/posting quality health and fitness information and links will be key.

Blog:
- If you don't use our blog system at least link your blog that is on another platform (Wordpress, blogger, etc) to your profile.

IDEA Answers:
- Many trainers are getting clients because they are being noticed on IDEA Answers. It is no surprise that potential clients are looking at specific professionals and seeing the helpful answers that they are contributing. Our advice is to continue to be active here. It will pay off more and more in the future as we put more emphasis on this section.

Conversion Rate:
- The percentage of potential clients that visit your profile and contact you is your conversion rate. Needless to say, this is an important stat and those with higher conversion rates will be rewarded in our algorithm. Put your best foot forward by giving the user the opportunity to truly get to know you through your contributions. Don't under estimate how many visitors you get to your profile, check out your responses on IDEA Answers, your blog, videos, success stories, etc. Potential clients like to gather as much information as they can before contacting a fitness professional. Why not give them the full picture of who you are and what you can offer.
