If you are a holistic health practitioner like me, you are constantly recommending products to your patients or clients. In June 2007, I decided to create Holistic Trainer.net. I did this for 3 reasons:

1/ To make it easy to share information and provide healthy product alternatives for us and our clients.
Let's face it, a lot of people want to make a change in their life, but they put it into the 'too hard basket' as they don't want to research into what, where and how they can purchase healthier products. Holistic Trainer.net is all about making this step easier. As the world's health continues to deteriorate, it is imperative that we look at the information that is being fed to us from the mainstream media. It is imperative that we look at the things we are putting into our body and on our body, on a daily basis. Holistic Trainer.net serves this purpose. A message board of information, and a place for alternatives and solutions.

2/ To earn passive income / Commissions for promoting quality products
I am not going to be able to physically train people for the rest of my life. If I injure myself and don’t work for a while, I won’t be earning any money. Apart from having employees working for me bringing in extra income, I figured it was time to start earning money another way. After doing some research, I learned that the passive income possibilities from promoting products are huge. Not every product or link that is on this site is put there because it has the potential to make money. There are a lot of products included simply because they have the potential to make you and your clients healthier. But the income opportunities are also there. Passive income not only means we make extra money on top of our fees, it also means that we earn money while we’re sleeping or on holiday.

3/ To duplicate the whole process and give health professionals their own websites
I've been building easy websites for years and it it doesn't take much for me to be able to make another website page for health professionals like yourself. It works in both our interests. Read more below.

Are you are a health practitioner looking to make some passive income?

Aren't we all? Wouldn't we all like to earn money in our sleep? It is totally possible to do this. I currently train two people that never have to work again. If you are a contracted health practitioner paid by the hour, then you probably don't earn money when you are not working. This is a problem to me. We can have weeks of varying business which makes it hard to plan for the future. We can raise our prices, but then this may result in losing clients or seeing them less, which then results in earning the same amount as before the price rise. This then leaves us with more free hours in the day. How can we better utilise those hours? Look for more clients? Perhaps there is an another way to make money.

So what if you could have a steady stream of income to your bank account for doing something that you’re already doing? If you truly excel at your job, you are not just telling people DON'T eat this, DON'T drink that, DON'T use that product. You give them alternatives and solutions . That's when you can send them to this site or YOUR OWN site. Let me create a webpage for you for FREE. (eg: www.holistictrainer.net/yourbusinessname), which you can link as a shopping page to your own website should you have one. It works in both our interests.

Do all the links allow me to make money?

NO! The site has not been created solely to make money as you will have read before. Holistic Trainer.net consists of many different avenues by which people can buy different goods and services. It consists of a range of quality products and information from various sources. Non-money making links come from products I have chosen to put on there from supermarkets, local organic markets, organic home delivery services and websites with great information that I want to be on the site to help backup things that I prescribe my clients to do.

Then there are links to companies like Amazon.com and Fishpond.com.au that allow me to make money. There are also four affiliate companies which allow YOU to make money. Some of these companies have rules about how you can promote their products, hence some products do not have direct links and have a star used as an image. In those cases, if you are talking to a person about the product, you can just refer them directly to the relevant company website.

Current affiliate companies to Holistic Trainer.net (August 2007)

Not only are there fantastic products to recommend and sell from each site, but most importantly, there are supportive teams of people above me that are very switched on to how this all works. They are teachers and mentors to making the most out of these affiliate programs. If you understand the whole concep of MLM (Nulti Level Marketing), then you will understand that the teams of people above you are extremely important. You can buy a Subway sandwich franchise and have the rule book thrown at you, but unless you have a good teacher to show you how to apply it, the business will fail. Learn, do, teach. Learn more about each company below.

1/ ONE Group Opportunity (5 min video) / ONE Group Opportunity (words) ONE Group Compensation Plan (Video) - Certified organic skin care, cosmetics, body care, environmental products and probiotics. Australian made. Brands: MiEnviron, MiEssence, MiVitality. My direct sponsor is a beauty therapist who builds her ONE Group business full time. - Minimum Cost: Approximately $88 per month or worth of personal product purchase, which you can use or resell. The automatic products that are sent out, unless you change it, are 2 x In-Liven probiotics.

My line of sponsors are a very switched on team of people who have been in the business for a long time and are creating wealth from it. - Please contact the owner of this page for information on this business.
3/ Independent Website C - A company at the forefront of water filters, air filters, sleep products, nutrition and a range of products using magnetic technology. My direct sponsors are a couple who have been in the business for 5 years. This company sells some amazing products. - Magnetic Technology? The earth is the world’s biggest and strongest magnet with a north and south magnetic pole. Think of it as another nutrient that the body needs and many of us aren't getting enough of. The less direct contact you have with the ground on a daily basis, the less magnetic energy you have. Click right for more info. How do magnets work? / website 2 - Please contact the owner of this page for information on this business.
3/ AOK Health / Logical Fitness - The world leaders in functional exercise equipment. A comprehensive website with comprehensive equipment needs for personal trainers and their clients. - At the very least, I can set you up with a website that has links to AOK products. Holistic Trainer.net has personally organised an affiliate arrangement with AOK. Both Holistic Trainer.net and the Holistic Trainer.net associate receive commissions on each product sale. AOK / Logical Fitness product prices / commissions (PDF file). - If a person clicks on a link from your website and they end up purchasing a product, the difference between the A & B price level goes to your bank account. The difference between the B & C level price goes to Holistic Trainer.net (Brad Rasmus) Note: The $100 dollar minimum purchase as mentioned on the price list does not apply to us.

Are these companies pyramid schemes?

NO!! Please understand the difference between illegal pyramid schemes and legal multi-level marketing.

So what does it cost me to have my own site like this one?

It's FREEI will construct your own pages (eg: www.holistictrainer.net/yourbusinessname) and can change the background and your logo in the top right corner to personalise it to your business. View any of the affiliate sites linked at the Holistic Trainer.net homepage for an example. Though you will not have to pay me any money for this service, you must accept the following terms:

1/ Consider joining one or all of the companies
You will receive your own website, ID or special link from each company that allows sales to be linked to you. If you only join one company, the other products will remain linked to me and I make the passive income from any sales. So it's in your best interest to consider joining all companies. Each of them has different terms and conditions. You can also call any of them at any time and quit. Please contact me if this happens so I can make the necessary changes to your site. At the very least, provide me with your bank details and you will have a way providing AOK products to customers, hassle free. Costs you nothing and you will receive money in your account at the end of each month should you sell any products.

2/ All of the Amazon / Fishpond website links stay linked to Holistic Trainer.net
The Amazon links take a very long time to setup for each separate countries’ website and their commissions are far too low to make this setup worthwhile. You may ask me to include any other books you wish on your site as long as they are health based.

3/ Follow the guidelines below for submitting changes and updates to your own site
During the initial set-up of your webpage, you may add health related products, text and links and submit these changes to Holistic Trainer.net. Product listings must include an image, product title, description, place of purchase and web address for ‘more info’. After initial set-up, updates may be submitted every quarter, between the 1-5th of March, June, September and December.

4/ Holistic Trainer.net reserves the right to add new health products and refuse inclusion of products
When new products are found that meet the requirements to be on Holistic Trainer.net, they will be added to the base website called A_shop.htm as well as associate sites. We reserve the right to refuse inclusion of products.

Sounds great. Sign me up!

As there are different joining options with each company, the best way to join is to contact the owner of your site and he or she will guide you through the processes.
