    I've been using with great success a very similar funnel to your version #2 and I can confirm that it works very well and on autopilot (you just drive traffic to the initial squeeze page and the funnel does the job from there). The only difference is that at the end of the free video sequence I promote my product with 3 further promotional emails. All in all, the funnel is made up by 8 emails in 2 weeks.

      Yeah thats the beauty of funnel #2 As soon as everything is setup squeeze page etc and the autoresponder is setup its basically just a matter of working on driving traffic to the squeeze page and also it gets the subscriber used to opening your emails ready for the next video, ebook etc.

        With funnel #2, when are you making the one time offer? Is it only after the last video?

        Personally, I like to present an offer as soon as possible and then again later after establishing a relationship. You have the most attention on the initial email and lose a certain amount of people with every email you send. Plus, many underestimate the perceived credibility that goes along with having a product - you're automatically looked at as a subject matter expert (at least in most niches). You want to get that across early.

          Basically the idea of the second funnel is to build a relationship with the subscribers through video and providing them value for example if I have a product relating to adwords what I will do is show the subscribers a few free basic videos that will get them started making money with it and then after the free videos are up I will say something like hey if you liked that then why dont you check out such and such (my product, affiliate product, cpa offer etc) and many will purchase.

          I also will have a link under each stage of the videos that will be pointing to the full product.

          So for video one show them something of value that they can take action on and then provide link to full product and say the same again if you liked that video check out ......... if not stay tuned for the next free video that will be sent to you soon.

          I will also provide a comments section so that I can interact with each of the subscribers at the differnet stages and help them out along the way.

          One thing that I have found is that even if someone buys a product them can seem a little overwhelmed so this is basically a full product broken down and showing the very basics that will however still make them money plus its very step by step.

          Glad some warriors are liking the charts.

      I drive traffic using various methods it all depends on the offer but usually I use these methods:

      Article marketing, social bookmarking, yahoo answers, blog commenting, blogger, wordpress, squidoo, hubpages, press release, video marketing, facebook, forum marketing, twitter, building backlinks, rss feeds, directory submissions, traffic exchanges, classified ads, online groups, writing tutorials, podcasts, craigslist, banner ads and some ppc, this list goes on and on.

    Also, technically I always thought of a funnel as a process with different price points. You funnel customers from a low price to a higher one like $27, $97, $297, $997, $2997.

    What you describe here is more of an autoresponder sales process for just one product.

    If you add a few more price levels and offer those upon purchase, you could dramatically increase the profitability of this process and be able to spend more money getting customers into the front end.

    Aaron,
    Thanks, this is a great visual aid for those of us new to internet marketing. It really helps tie in quite a few of the things I've learned here on the Warrior Forum.

    No time for graphics but try this one out .

    FREEBIE >>>>> Single Opt to Autoresponder
    |
    |
    OTO >>> If yes > To AR (auto unsub From Free ar)
    |
    NO
    |
    Down Sale >> If Yes > To AR (auto unsub Free AR)

    Freebie autoresponder uses a mix of freebies , valuable content and low end offers to get the seeker on buyers AR.

    Mid Range Offers >>>> High End Offers

    Continuity Coaching / Mentoring

    Continuity

    With this list of proven buyers I offer even more quality than for the freebie list . They have spent hard earned money with me . They deserve more .

    When they get their first pitch it is for a mid range offer with an upsale and a down sale .

    If yes they go on a mid sale buyers list . I never go backwards . Why work up from a $10 to a $47 and then offer them another $10 item?

    Takers of the Mid offers are Sent other mid range offers and high range offers . Those that take the hi end offers are put on ... you guessed it ... their own list .

    Those that stay at mid level are offered more mid offers, the occasional high end ( Always try to funnel up) but my main priority is to get them in a continuity program. I will even run a series for my coaching program every now and then because you can never tell. The reason some mid range buyers are not moving up in the funnel is they are really looking for someone to help them a little more one on one .

    High end takers are offered coaching , other high end products , continuity . This is also the group that will offer the most leverage for jv's and ad swaps .

    Now this is a rough draft to my over all approach. Actually this is my outdated approach. For 2010 I have a brand new business model. I have been testing it for the last 90 days plus . Let's just say the initial results have me ready to scrap this model and forge forward .

      That's more like a real funnel. The OP was only a sales process with just one price point - however, it's still more than most people are doing.

    Aaron,

    Are you testing those funnels to see if you can optimize them? You might see your conversion and profits increase if you try to sell sooner and more often.

    Or have you already tested that?

    Thanks so much for the share, Aaron! I've been starting to experiment and use Xmind for my mind maps, and I find that you can just 'see' everything and comprehend things so much more clearly when a process is all laid out graphically in front of your eyes. Definitely gives you a bird's eye view of things, I liken it to being like 'viewing a forest for the trees' kind of thing, it keeps you from getting too bogged down in the tiny details. I'm pretty sure this is the reason why big project planners and military chiefs have been using these sort of tools forever!

    Could you elaborate more on the role of your blog in the Funnel 1. Does it mean that you drive traffic from all possible places towards your BLOG? And how do you monetize your blog, and what key position it holds in your overall revenues.

    really interested to hear more about the BLOG part!
