As you may have noticed, the posting schedule here has slowed down. I’d just like to give everybody a heads up on the schedule and what to expect going forward. Posts will continue at a slower schedule.
Original Plan: This website was originally intended to be much more than a blog about training. The original plan involved working together with a partner to program a website that is interactive and helps like-minded individuals to meet up and train together. Hence the name “World Fitness NETWORK“.
To make a long story short, the programmer’s side of things never really materialized. Everything you see at this website is all what I’ve been able to create personally.
Financial plan: The purpose of this site was to attract people to the website who are interested in training and building muscle. Once people arrive, they see the other features and begin using them, and making enough money for me to stay alive depended on some of the features that we would charge money for. I think the original plan is still viable, but I’m not much of a programmer and would need years to learn the needed skills.
The plan going forward: A blog is a great marketing tool, but not if you don’t have anything to market. Since the original plan was to charge money for those features, and since those features never came into existence, blogging will not be a way for me to create income… at least not enough to do anything with. So…
That means making money other ways. I’m working alot lately, training regularly, and blogging less than before. I like blogging though. There are still many points of training worth writing about, so this blog will continue, but on slower schedule.
You can probably expect the blog to be updated once every 1-2 weeks. I know that’s lot less than the 2+ times a week that I was able to do before, but that’s what I can manage.
Do I feel bad? Not really. I mean, it is free content. Kinda hard to beat free ya know. But I’ll still be putting stuff up from time to time, and will be putting up a link to access the archives soon.
But between the different training blogs out there, you should be able to find enough good stuff to keep you busy. Here are the other blogs about training/bodybuilding I’m aware of:
- Stronglifts.com - Mehdi’s blog with a strong emphasis on the strength side of training. Probably the most similar blog to this one.
- Laurensfitness.com - In depth info with some emphasis on anatomy and therapy.
- Musclehack.com - Focuses on the diet side of bodybuilding. Not a bad idea, since you won’t get very far without having your diet in place.

I had actually been wondering a little Jason…
Of course it’s a little “sad”, but hell, as you say it’s free content, and it’s your own decision.
I think you took the right one
Good luck with everything, and see you here every 1-2 weeks mate.

With the magic of RSS (okay it isn’t magic, but a really cool technology) we can follow you despite your posting frequency. Enjoy!

I think I will write something similar on my blog since I haven’t updated it for the past few weeks due to school. Now school is over, but will still need to focus on other things other than my blog. Thanks for informing your audience on whats up!

Good for you - your information has been great and I think you deserve a solid income for your efforts. Good luck with the business side (maybe some of us who read could help you come up with ideas for monetization?). Some of us must have some experiences we could share…

Hey guys, thanks for being pretty laid back about it. We’ll try to keep the posts from being too infrequent though. I gotta make rent each month (and train of course), but things will keep moving. New post up tonight as well
