THIS IS ABOUT YOU! SERIOUSLY!! NOT COPY & PASTE! PLEASE READ!!!

1. Don't tell people you're a Kinesiology major if you say you're a web design student on your site (http://trainerconley.com/introducing-myself/)
2. Speaking of the above link, that's way too long. Truth be told, nobody gives a shit about you or your story. They only care about themselves. What are you going to do for them?
3. You look like a shriveled mess in your after picture, bro. Flexing, etc. I'd suggest getting a higher quality B&A setup going before someone takes you down a few pegs real fast.
4. Proofread your content. Have someone else do it too.
5. No more clickbait titles. We don't like that shit around here.
6. If you want traffic on your site, put up articles that aren't the same old rehashed bullshit on every other site. What makes you different? Actually different, not special little snowflake different. Gaining and losing weight as a teenager is far easier than as a young adult in your 20's. That's your target market.
7. Your site loads slow as fuck.
8. If you want to make it, I'd suggest keeping your Tweets to your brand. Nobody will take you seriously with a Tweet that says "body like a back road is probably my favorite song".
9. Your certificate is 100% online, cost a whopping $225, and I got the same fuckin' certification in less than a day a few years back. It's the equivalent of going to ITT Tech. Get a real certification if you want to be taken seriously.
10. Get those comments from friends and family off of there. It reeks of desperation.

So you are 18, a college freshman (so you haven't even truly officially declared a major yet and are taking mostly liberal arts classes), you lost some weight once as a teenager, and you are trying to get off the ground as a personal trainer?

Fuck no. Reminds me of some of the stupid shit I came up with as an 18 year old. I'm trying to help this douche get his shit straight so it doesn't take him five more years to find his IM purpose like it took me.

Ha! I finally found out who you are Neon!

I must admit I didn't think you'd be a 34 year old named Kesha.

I hope we do... he wants to give to others in the community and just made a wrong turn.

Giving is good.

I sent him a PM when I made the adjustments in his original post and hopefully he will respond and come back.

it'd be good if he sticks around and there are probably a few on here who could do with some weight loss/more exercise.
after all sitting behind the pc all day is not exactly an active job.

You guys make it seem so devastating to receive some online criticism. Look, I get it, i'm not and IM legend, with a 5,000 thanked thread on my IG journey yada yada. I don't have the same experience as you guys. I don't use forums. I literally have been a ghost on here for years only reading. But I am truly doing this to gain experience for myself in online training. If I had of had some help in my weight loss, I would have been much safer. I would have maintained much more muscle. Regardless, I am offering help for people who want it. As I said, I previously weighed 305 lbs. I've been called names, teased, and bullied all my life. Things are different now, and I don't have thin skin . I read every comment, and if it's hate, then it's hate. Everybody has their own place.
