Ecdisten and Blog Updates

Friday, November 4th, 2011

Hello everyone. I’ve been quite busy these last two weeks. Hope you all had a most excellent Halloween. I was Ghost Face this year. But I digress…

What I’ve been doing

My latest job just ended after 3.5 years and I’m now unemployed for a week, so if you or anyone you know is looking to hire a software engineer with experience in Java and .NET, or if anyone needs a web developer / SEO / SEM, please let me know. In any case, much of my free time has been spent sending out resumes and searching for the next perfect job. Lord knows I’m not making a living on Project Swole revenue.

I’m also renting out my old house in Hooksett, NH. Any extra free time has been spent painting, cleaning, and fixing the house, getting it ready to be someone else’s house for a couple years. Fixing and cleaning a house is actually pretty good exercise if you keep moving at a high pace.

Ecdisten Update

A notice to everyone who ordered Ecdisten from buyecdysterone.com, I have placed my next order! That’s right, my order is being processed, which means your order being shipped is just a matter of time. I’m still a couple weeks off from receiving my shipment, but as soon as the boxes are in my hands your bottles will go out in the mail.

Thanks to everyone who trusted me enough to pre-pay for their ecdysterone supplements. The success of this venture is entirely dedicated to you!

Swole Updates

I haven’t posted as often as I prefer in the past two weeks. This is because of everything I mentioned up above. I have a whole slew of diet and workout content that I NEED to post if I can just find the time to write all the content.

My crazy fat loss detox diet is 50% written, and I just know it’s going to blow your socks off for the new year.

I have some new full body routines, a refurbished Werewolf Strength Training routine, and a Werewolf fat loss routine just waiting for the finishing touches. Those should prove to be exciting.

Stick around and good things will happen between now and the end of the year. Fitness is going to explode in 2012. Don’t miss the boat!

Google Thought Project Swole was Hacked

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Hi everyone. I know Swole was marked as a Malware spammer for the last couple of days. I promise you, there was no Malware. Google seems to have been freaked out by a JavaScript file that’s used for localization. I replaced all those files anyway and now I think we’re in the clear. Real content posts will be published just shortly.

Powerzone Fitness: The Best Gym in New Hampshire

Monday, July 11th, 2011

I finally joined a gym that’s worth blogging about. It is called Powerzone Fitness and it’s located in Hooksett, NH.

Check out their website here: Powerzone Fitness and their Yahoo Local page with a 5 star rating and 4 glorious reviews here: Powerzone in Hooksett, NH

Why is Powerzone Fitness the best gym in NH?

  • It is open 24×7. You get in after hours with an access card.
  • No one is ever there. Turn the lights and fans on, crank your own music on the radio.
  • No crazy meat heads taking up all the machines. It’s like the opposite of Gold’s Gym in Manchester, NH. If you ever go there you’ll know what I mean.
  • It is owned by a former powerlifter. That means you can deadlift, lift over your head, and grunt without getting in trouble.
  • They supply the chalk. Like using chalk when you deadlift or do Olympic lifts? They have a box of chalk beside the power rack.
  • The have a power rack. They have a smith machine too, but they only use it for shrugs.
  • Dumbbells up to 120 lbs. Not bad.
  • They have a reverse hyper machine! It’s old, but it works.
  • Training at Powerzone is like working out in your own personal basement gym, except they actually have all the equipment you could need.

The No-Gym Workout Routine

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Update: Here’s an old post I put together right quick for someone who just needs a quick workout at home. Originally posted on May 3, 2007.

At times you will find yourself unable to get to the gym or dojo. Things in life just happen. So we do we do in a time like this? Strongmen will find that keeping various equipments around the house such as a sled, a large tire, a yoke, a keg, a sledgehammer, or even a 10lb wedge for splitting logs, will keep us completely satisfied when we need to workout but can’t make it to the gym. Therefore, this article is targeted more towards the people that are vacationing or on a business trip away from home, and perhaps for those strongmen that want a change from log presses, keg carries, and truck pulls, for a week or so.

Health Blog for Sale – Get it for the New Year’s Resolution Rush!

Friday, December 17th, 2010

A friend of mine is selling his health blog. You can view the auction here: https://flippa.com/auctions/116568

This is a PR4 health and fitness blog with a 446668 Alexa rank, 2006 registration date, and just under 30,000 page views per month. It has 190 pages of unique content indexed in Google and already gets 70% of its traffic from search engines.

Make Money Online

If you are interested in making money online, or someone in the health industry that needs exposure online, consider buying Better Body Journal (BBJ). It has solid monthly revenue, and is considered an authority in the health niche. Traffic is consistent and grows every time a new article is written.

Search Engine Trust and Authority

It takes a lot of work to break into the health niche online. A site like BBJ gives you an incredible head start. The site is 4 years old and there is no way someone would ever catch up to that with a brand new website. This is an affiliate marketer’s diamond in the rough.

A Lazy Website Owner

I know the owner personally and he is very lazy with this site. This guy has a goldmine ripe for harvesting with BBJ, but he’s so busy making money other ways that he never updates the site and yet it still gets decent traffic and makes several hundred dollars a month without effort.

The Better Body Journal website has never come close to reaching its full potential. A new owner that is dedicated to it can easily increase its revenue to $1,000 or more every month. Especially with the New Years Resolutions coming up, you’ll probably make a grand in January 2011 alone!

Let Me Whine for a Minute

If I only had some investment capital I would grab this site today and promote P90X and supplement offers like crazy. Just bust out some SEO strategies, start using social profiles, network with other bloggers in the niche, get some bookmarks, and you’ll probably have a sub 100,000 Alexa ranking in no time flat.

Unfortunately I’m pretty broke thanks to medical bills, student loans, and family expenses; and since my “friend” here wants at least $4000 for this site, there is no way I could buy it. In fact I know when someone buys this thing and puts like 6 months worth of effort into it, I’m going to be so pissed off because I will have missed a golden opportunity.

Now Go Place a Bid at the Auction

Therefore, if you don’t want to miss your golden opportunity go to the BBJ Flippa auction and buy BBJ today. I will be envious of you and will probably kinda hate you, but none of that will matter when you are banking a couple extra grand a month. Just please don’t remove my homepage link on the sidebar.

Oh I’m so aggravated right now.

Introducing FitMarker.com

Friday, December 10th, 2010

I want to tell you about a pretty cool new website today. If you’ve been hanging around the health and fitness website industry for a while now, you might remember HealthRanker, a health news social voting site, where popular articles are voted to prominence and end up on page 1. Well, HealthRanker was bought and destroyed a year or so ago, my attempts to make a clone called FitWire failed miserable, and now there is a new player on the scene.
