Before I tell you about how ClickFunnels can make your life and your business better, let’s start with a question most newbies are probably wondering about right now.
What in the world are Sales Funnel?
Simply put, it’s the process through which customers come in from the top, and cash comes out at the bottom. It’s the whole flow a company creates that leads your visitors to purchase something and turns them into customers. A sales funnel means a way to make money.
Usage
Step 1: Pick your Funnel
Now, there are several types of sales funnels, and knowing which type can work best with your industry can be a hassle. But ClickFunnels provides you with pre-built funnel types for you to choose from. You can still create one if you’d like, but these pre-built ones help you launch your first funnel in just a few minutes. Signing up for their trial will give you 6 pre-built funnels to try:
- Best Seller Book Funnel
- Product Launch Funnel
- Perfect Webinar Funnel
- The “Real Stuff” Funnel
- Fishbowl Funnel
- Network Marketing Bridge Funnel
Step 2: Drag and Drop Page Editor
Once your funnel has been chosen, it’s time to add content, images, and videos to it. Their easy to use editor lets you move around the elements in your page to make it look exactly the way you want it to be. There are so many different editable elements for you to choose from and add and it’s so easy to do. Each page is also mobile responsive, so there’s no added stress of having to worry about how to optimize it for mobile users.
Step 3: Setup your Action Funnels
One of the coolest things about ClickFunnels is Actionetics. With the insight you gain on your visitors, Actionetics lets you create marketing sequences and setup different forms of communication to be able to reach out to each of them. You can create the message you want to send out, stats on they’re doing with your subscribers, schedule the triggers, and get a full preview of how it looks. Your message could be in an email, SMS, and more. You can define who can see these messages, when they will see them, and what actions they’ve done to trigger a certain message.
Step 4: Launch Your Funnel
Right after you launch your funnel, you’re going to want to get traffic to it. ClickFunnel’s way is through their affiliate program called Backpack. Having affiliates means having people advertise your funnel through their own sites or funnels. They, in return, get a commission for each referral.
ClickFunnels doesn’t just let you create a sales funnel; it also provides you with metrics to help you see how each funnel is doing. If it’s not doing well, you’ll know which part of your funnel is the issue. They offer tons of additional features as well as learning materials and videos to increase your knowledge of the industry.
The platform provides a landing page builder, A/B Split testing, one click upsells/ downsells, webinar funnels, membership sites, text optin, complete CRM, affiliate tracking, multiple tier commissions, and so much more. There is a seriously long list you can find on their website. When you purchase a plan, you get three “gifts.” The first one is their 21-day online training program called “Ignite Your Funnel.” The second one is the six pre- built funnel templates that I enumerated earlier; and the third is a network of over 10,000 users in an exclusive Facebook community, willing to help each other out.
The nicest thing about it, though, is the fact they donate $1 for very funnel you launch to the world teacher aid to help educate kids in Kenya. It’s a beautiful way to make you feel on top of everything: improving conversion on your business, and helping out children in need with it.
