Marketing lessons from the weeb fitness coach


There's this dude I follow on Facebook.

His name is Andre, and he's a fitness coach.

What makes him different, however...

Is how he's a total anime fanboy... just like me.

Almost all of his content uses anime and Japanese manga to discuss physiques and exercises.

He uses the bodies of popular anime characters...

Like Goku and Vegeta as examples.

He uses these fictional characters to create a unique ideal for his audience to work towards. And it works. His content brings a completely fresh perspective to the admittedly proven science of fitness. I mean look, we've go to the point where there really isn't anything new in the fitness world.

The honest truth is...

For 90% of you out there...

Me included...

If you want to gain muscle, lift heavy thing up, and put it down over and again while eating more.

That's it.

There's no secret.

Much of the same thing applies in most markets and niches.

Which is why everyone's content starts sounding the same. They're all trying to teach a proven science, and unless someone truly reinvents the wheel... nothing new will be coming from them.

This is why it feels like there's a flood of content which feels the same.

Because for the most part, it is.

The solution?

Focus less on content, and more on context. Much like how Andre uses anime to teach fitness and inspire his students... when you create a new context to teach your material, you essentially take the old and make it exciting again.

When you're competing in a crowded market, your context IS your unique mechanism.

It's your great differentiator.

It's the one weapon you have to stand out.

And the beauty of context, is how it gives you one of the most powerful advantages you can have against your competition...

Mental headroom in your customers ;)

That's all for today.

Till the next wave of madness

Sooo, I just finished that new "Avatar:The Last Airbender" series by Netflix. And there's a scene about midway through the show which caught my attention (don't worry, this is NOT a plot spoiler... as if I'd spoil a ten year old story). You see, one of the characters in the story is girl named Katara, and her special skill is something called "water bending". Think of it as the power to control water and use it as a weapon. There are three other types of bending: Air bending... Fire...

Ever heard of John Mcafee? No, not that one... I mean the other one. Y'know... The crazy dude who made that Antivirus you're probably running? The crazy dude who ran for president? The one who didn't kill himself in jail? Yeah... THAT John Mcafee. Well get this, before he was a madman in Belize stimulating the local economy by paying the hookers to shit in his mouth (not making this up disclaimer)... he was a software salesman. In fact, he's known for creating one of the very first antivirus...
