7.6.1. They're sick of not seeing progress and would like a well structured, researched, muscular adaptation programme so that they can finally see body composition changes

8. USP

8.1. My guide fills a gap in the market of that middle ground between a 6 week guide and an online coach- it delivers results over the long term and provides nearly 4 months of structured phased training whilst being a financially viable option for my target market.

8.1.1. It's different to the existing guides on the market. The current market is saturated with generic 6-8 week guides

8.2. Nearly 4 months (15 weeks) of PHASED training to enable your body to adapt and progress

8.2.1. I will focus my marketing efforts around the sales funnel in order to take potential customers on a journey from passively aware to emotionally engaged and then towards advocacy where my brand will benefit from referrals, recommendations and new customers.

8.2.1.1. Using a series of build up momentum announcements on social media talking about a secret project I’m working on to spark interest

8.2.2. The guide encourages users to track the weights/ reps they're doing and apply progressive overload each week.

8.2.2.1. The idea is that once the 15 weeks has finished, the user then cycles back round and starts the phase 1 (strength phase) again but by progressively overloading and adding more load

8.3. 3 distinct phases: strength, hypertrophy and adaptation to allow the user to undergo a range of training modalities

8.3.1. the third phase of the guide has a individualised element as it allows the user to 'bring up' certain body parts and modify the plan to their specific body composition goals

8.4. Video demonstrations on an unlisted youtube video

9. FINANCE

9.1. cost of marketing

9.1.1. If creating a marketing video and having exercise demo's filmed professionally, how much will this cost?

9.1.1.1. pay upfront or installments?

9.2. cost of ebook creation

9.2.1. in design? purchasing a template?

9.3. cost of selling platform

9.3.1. transaction fee or monthly subscription service? work out what would be more cost effective?

9.4. SOURCE OF FINANCE???

9.4.1. my personal savings/ income from online coaching

9.4.1.1. PROFIT REINVESMENT

9.5. overheads/ operations = 0

9.5.1. online product = no ongoing costs after the initial product has been created: unless I want to invest in more marketing in the future
