Can you make money with Beachbody? Not when you make these social media marketing mistakes!

You probably got excited about the Beachbody business, joined and started working toward your first rank as a coach…

…but frustration has now won out over your old excitement…

…and you can’t figure out how these other successful Beachbody coaches are pulling it off. 

How are they attracting customers and team members?

Related Bible Verse: Numbers 6:24 The Lord bless thee and keep thee.

Commentary: Translated from the Hebrew text, "bless" in this passage means to transfer prosperity in the sense of the financial, material, and physical. 

The word "keep" is correctly translated to mean "guard," as in guarding us from straying from the Word after prosperity & abundance become potentially dangerous distractions.

Lesson: Pray to God for help with your business and finances. He will answer. Once blessed, remember the Source of your financial abundance and keep walking with Him.

How The Attraction Marketing Formula Will Build Your Beachbody Business

My Review Of The Attraction Marketing Formula

How To Buy Leads For Your Beachbody Business

Failing in Network Marketing (and Beachbody) is Very Real

It’s true that most Beachbody coaches/BODi partners make very little money. In fact, it’s true that most people across all network marketing companies barely make a few hundred dollars per year

Yup, per YEAR. 

OK, now before you decide to quit Beachbody, let’s look into why the majority of network marketing reps can’t get hit at least $1,000/month in revenue. 

The reason is that traditional advice for building a network marketing business is simply ineffective. I might even use the word “silly” if I wasn’t feeling nice today LOL

Think about the way most coaches learn how to attract Beachbody customers.

They hop on social media and post product pics, body pics or shout about how to make money with Beachbody

This way of doing Beachbody marketing is unfortunately quite ineffective.

In fact, it’s not “marketing” at all.

Aimlessly yelling into the social media void is great for annoying your contacts. It’s not great for finding targeted Beachbody leads for your business.

Beachbody Leads: Why Posting on Social Media is NOT the Best Way to Get Prospects

Well, there is a way to attract Beachbody customers on social media, but more on that below. 

What I’m talking about is the way most coaches are taught to do Beachbody marketing.

Yelling about your products or business opportunity is like walking into a local networking event and screaming at the top of your lungs:

“Hey all you guys! I’m a Beachbody coach and I sell this great Shakeology thing!! You gotta come over here right now and buy some from me so we can curb your cravings and get your butt in shape!!! And then I’m gonna get you to sign up as a coach with me and we gonna get rich baby!!! Let’s do it NOW!!!!!!”

You’re probably cracking up a bit thinking about doing that LOL

Unfortunately, posting product pictures and business opportunity info directly on Instagram or Facebook is about the same thing. 

You think you’re about to generate a bunch of Beachbody leads…

…but most often, you’re only annoying people who would have become attracted to you if you had just known what to do or say

And I’ll bet you cringe when you do it because deep down it doesn’t feel right. 

By the way, I used to do the same stuff when I was new to network marketing, so don’t feel bad. Now, it’s time to learn a better way, that’s all…

Losing Sales When Beachbody Marketing

How To Make Money As a Beachbody Coach Correctly

Digging deeper on the social media posting problem:

You’re losing sales when posting the Beachbody brand name and product names on your Instagram or Facebook profiles.

The reason is that you’re exposing all the info someone needs to go into Google or YouTube to do their own research.

They might find another Beachbody coach during this process and buy from them.

Or, it’s possible that they find the Beachbody site and buy straight from it.

Beachbody products shown on Facebook is not the way to go

Not only did you annoy your fans and followers, but you violated a major guideline when you want to know how to attract Beachbody customers:

Always use curiosity without mentioning company or product names.

More on this below but I want you to see this immediately so that you stop losing sales!

When your goal is to learn how to make money with Beachbody, sometimes what you stop doing is as important as learning new marketing strategies.

Use “Tried & True” Internet Marketing Strategies to Make Money With Beachbody

Click For Bonus Material:
FREE Beachbody Business Training

Network marketing is the only business model that teaches these weird and downright hokey methods:

  • Make a list of all your “friends & family”
  • Use the 3-foot rule
  • Post product pictures on InstaFace
  • Hit up the waitress when eating dinner with your family
  • Hit up fellow parents at the kid’s games & then stalk ‘em on Facebook

What does a “real” business entrepreneur do? 

They understand the problem their product solves and then they find out where the people with that specific problem are. 

Then, they market to those people with the problem they can solve!

Wow, revolutionary stuff there LOL

For the life of me, I can’t understand why network marketing companies are still stuck in 1978, as if they’ve never heard of this awesome tool called The Internet

I encourage you to start thinking of yourself as less a Beachbody coach and more a fitness entrepreneur.

Then, start doing this to more effectively make money with Beachbody…

Want An Endless Stream of Targeted Beachbody Leads?

Beachbody Marketing Starts With Solving Prospect Problems…

Thinking like an entrepreneur will help you to start looking at your Beachbody business as “your” business. 

Instead of hoping that talking about your coaching role will magically attract Beachbody customers, you’ll start adding value to the lives of people already motivated to change their lives. 

Brainstorm the problems you solve as a Beachbody coach. You teach people how to: 

  • Lose weight 
  • Feel better about yourself
  • Stay motivated to stay on your plan
  • Eat healthier foods
  • Know what to do when they fall off their plan & need to get back up again
  • Reach your fitness goals
  • Build muscle

There’s an abundance of prospects out there who want someone to guide them through the above information into success. 

Wouldn’t it make more sense to provide THOSE people the help they’re actively looking for instead of trying to convince your Aunt Bertha or beer-drinking social media friends to listen to you? 

Right? LOL

You placed yourself in the fitness niche once you started learning how to make money as a Beachbody coach.

Separate yourself from the Beachbody Koolaide now 🙂

Start thinking like a fitness business owner who learns how to attract Beachbody customers exclusively. 

You’ll communicate so much more effectively with your target audience.

The next step is to provide your best Beachbody leads the content they’re looking for. 

Educate Your Beachbody Leads First, Then Sell

If you want to know how to make money with Beachbody, then do this:

Stop talking about Beachbody! 

Yup, that’s right…

…instead, start talking about the problems your prospects have. Bring up the problems and then offer them the solution. 

Imagine if you had blog or social media content sitting out there right now that offered fitness, healthy food, weight loss and exercise tips…

…imagine people who actively search for that information are finding your tips. 

Imagine what happens when they start seeing you as a trusted fitness tips resource. 

Imagine positioning Beachbody as the solution to their problem AFTER you just taught them the “5 tips for losing weight quickly”, for example. 

Do you see how they’ll be more receptive to buying when you’re not force-feeding them how great Beachbody is before they trust you? 

That, my friend, is exactly how any successful entrepreneur operates.

It’s also how to attract Beachbody customers successfully.  

Every day, your best prospects are typing this stuff into Google:

  • What exercise burns the most fat?
  • How quickly can I lose weight?
  • What is the healthiest way to lose weight?
  • Fitness goals for women 

If you have content that answers those questions, you’ll definitely make money with Beachbody

I’m simply showing you how to take advantage of the way people act on the Internet.

They search for solutions first.

Then, they decide to buy from people who provide quality answers to their questions.

Remember, your best Beachbody leads didn’t wake up today asking, “Who is the best Beachbody coach I can buy some stuff from today?”

Instead, they woke up feeling out of shape and wanting to know how to fix the situation.

You’ll make money with Beachbody if your social media or blog post appears when they search, “how can I lose my belly fat”. 

So, stop talking about your products and company and start solving problems if you want to 100% know how to attract Beachbody customers.

You Can’t Make Money With Beachbody If Your Mind Puts Up Roadblocks

Don’t make the mistake of listening to your mind when it says,

who am I to offer up tips for people who need to lose weight or have fitness goals? I don’t know enough yet.”

That’s only true if you let that limiting belief take root. 

You know enough.

Any Beachbody training gives you enough content that you can repurpose into your own unique content.

Simply paying attention to what you’re learning inside the company gives you more information than the average person looking to get fit knows and understands. 

Don’t let your mind screw you up here. 

Put those tips out there and watch how the right prospects gravitate you. 

Two nice resources I’ve put together around all this:

How Does Beachbody’s Customer Lead Program Fit In? 

Should you do what I’m telling you here or should you use the Beachbody Customer Lead Program? 

Use both. And you can’t use the Beachbody lead program until you’re an Emerald Coach who has qualified for Success Club in the previous month.

Use the method I’m teaching you here to first get to Emerald (sponsor 2 active coaches) and get into Success Club (sell the Challenge Pack to at least 3 people). 

By the way, be careful about depending only on Beachbody to bring you leads. One of the problems with network marketing is that you don’t own anything. 

Yes, I know they try to tell you that you’re starting your “own” business, but it’s not accurate.

Read the agreement you signed when joining Beachbody and you’ll find that the company “owns” your book of customers. 

Using our method to generate your own independent Beachbody leads means you’re creating an online asset (your own prospect list) that you can sell anything to, not just Beachbody. 

That’s an important distinction when you stop thinking of yourself only as a Beachbody coach and more as an independent fitness entrepreneur. 

Which leads me to this…

Mindlessly Following Network Marketing Methods Will Kill Your Chance To Make Money With Beachbody

Obviously, there are many good things about direct selling and network marketing:

  • It gets you thinking like a businessperson
  • There’s a lot of great personal development material available
  • It helps you unplug from the standard employee mindset
  • You learn to overcome rejection

On the other hand, there are negatives to network marketing. 

One is the silly and awkward “marketing” techniques that I covered above. 

The other network marketing negative is that those hokey marketing techniques keep every network marketer from developing their own unique voice. 

This is a big deal!

Every other business in the world works hard to differentiate themselves from their competitors. 

For example, a local mechanic shop must provide a unique marketing “voice” from that of their competing shops. 

An attorney must figure out how to stand out from the other lawyers. Bloggers do this. Ecommerce businesses do it. Airlines do it.

Everybody does it…except, you guessed it: Network marketers. 

By the way, if you’ve ever asked, is Beachbody a MLM?

Yes it is 🙂

Network marketers are told to mindlessly post product pictures on social media and repelling customers instead of attracting them. 

You need to figure out how to make yourself unique from those other Beachbody coaches AND all other network marketers posting the same messages everywhere. 

Another area network marketing companies fail in is properly explaining the sales numbers.

Your Beachbody meetings are filled with hype and big numbers.

Know this:

Typically, you must talk to at least 100 prospects in order to close 3-5 sales. 

That’s why posting on social media or hitting people up offline makes success almost impossible.

You don’t have the time to do all that, plus:

  • eat
  • work your job
  • work out, AND
  • spend time with your family

This is simply not the best path when you want to know how to make money as a Beachbody coach.

So, What’s The Solution So You Can Make Money With Beachbody? 

Infographic showing the five best ways to make money with Beachbody

Good question 🙂

The solution is to start doing what I’ve explained above. 

  1. Think like an entrepreneur
  2. Take control of your situation
  3. Start using the Internet properly so that you’re leading with value first and selling second 

Stop talking about Beachbody.

Start talking about general weight loss and fitness concepts and tips. 

Professional and successful entrepreneurs don’t shout about product pics. They provide real solutions through quality content. 

If you do the same thing, you’ll start generating qualified Beachbody leads and make money as a Beachbody coach. 

The solution to avoiding all the negatives of network marketing and enjoying the positives is to get good a method that attracts new customers weekly. It will help you avoid:

  • Getting rejected by social media contacts, friends and family
  • Feeling silly when you post on Facebook or Instagram
  • Blasting through your warm contact list without results
  • Doing weird offline methods like the 3-foot rule
  • Wasting gas driving around town to meetings no one shows up for
  • Allowing potential customers to go buy from someone else

It will help you become successful at:

  • Finding all the qualified Beachbody leads you can handle
  • Making an impact on people
  • Recruiting a team of coaches
  • Growing your residual income
  • Selling Beachbody products
  • Getting on stage after moving up the Beachbody comp plan

Use the information I’ve put together below so you can start attracting 3-7 Beachbody customers & team members each week and start experiencing what every other Beachbody coach wants: Consistent sales!

Beachbody FAQ

Beachbody Programs

Beachbody has a dizzying amount of available programs it wants its coaches to sell into.

Some people think this is wonderful.

I say it puts you at a disadvantage when your goal is making money with Beachbody.

Why?

Because a confused mind does absolutely nothing.

I mean, c’mon, look at this list:

Make money with Beachbody? Not trying to sell all these programs.

I couldn’t get my screen small enough to get the 29 rows into the pic.

29 rows!

As confusing as scrolling for a Netflix move on Saturday night with my wife 🙂

This article does a good job explaining that too many choices hurts your marketing efforts.

The psychology behind it all is explained here.

Read those articles if you’re serious about selling Beachbody successfully and finally learning how to attract Beachbody customers.

You’ll discover that you’ll do far better to offer one or two core programs and get your prospects in without confusing the living daylights out of them.

Select one core Beginner/Intermediate Beachbody program, such as:

  • Clean Week
  • Country Heat
  • YOUv2
  • 3 Week Yoga Retreat
  • Barre Blend
  • SHIFT SHOP
  • A Little Obsessed
  • #mbf Muscle Burns Fat
  • CIZE
  • 21 Day Fix

Pick one intermediate program:

  • 10 Rounds
  • 30 Day Breakaway
  • FOCUS T25
  • 27 Minute Hard Corps

Get your beginners and intermediate prospects into your funnel and then you can move them up the ladder of more advanced programs on the backend.

If you try to offer too any items all at once, you’re going to confuse people and end up disappointed that you can’t make good money as a Beachbody coach.

The same goes for all the other products and options offered by Beachbody.

Figure out your core offers and keep your Beachbody marketing simple. Your prospects will make a decision to buy without feeling confused.

Is Beachbody An Illegal Pyramid Scheme?

I’m often asked:

Is Beachbody a MLM?

It is and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Get any doubts about “pyramid” or “illegal” schemes out of your mind.

Don’t pay attention to negative people posting that stuff online.

There are some folks who love to scare you and put doubt into your mind when it comes to your excitement about Beachbody.

You’re selling a real product to real people. The fact that you can recruit others into your team doesn’t mean anything illegal is happening.

It’s called network marketing and it’s a valid marketing system.

If the owner of a real estate agency can recruit and override other agents legally, then you can do the same with Beachbody.

I encourage you to put your head down, build your Beachbody business, attract Beachbody customers and make money as a Beachbody coach.
