Zumba with Alycia
When the governor of Pennsylvania closed all gyms due to COVID-19, it affected the livelihood of gym instructors and the wellbeing of their students.
Zumba instructor Alycia McFarlin created a plan to offer online Zumba classes so she could still connect with her students. The AWeber Landing Page Builder allowed McFarlin to promote and offer her zumba class online. In less than 10 minutes, she created a landing page to promote her online class.
“Landing pages have definitely been huge for me during this time.”
The top priority for McFarlin in creating the online classes is connecting with her students and providing a supportive community, so she kept the cost of her online workouts as low as $6 a class. Her online workouts helped her reach even more students than her in-person classes. Plus, she discovered that her online classes are 200% more profitable. When you work at a gym as a Zumba instructor, most often, you are paid an hourly rate. Instructors get paid the same if three people show up or thirty.

Why AWeber
McFarlin was already using AWeber for her email communications. She wanted a landing page tool that seamlessly integrated with her AWeber account and would allow her to quickly create beautiful landing pages without writing any code. The AWeber Landing Page fit her requirements perfectly. Plus, it was free inside her AWeber account!
“With the AWeber Landing Page Builder, I was able to create a page in under ten-minutes that fit my style and personality, and included all the information that people would need. It allows me to communicate with people, gauge interest, and mold this online business into whatever it becomes.”
