Sales Funnel Resources - Please List

by Rick Britton
9 replies
Hello - could you help me list some of the places I can go to build a sales funnel?

I am in the process of creating a typical sales funnel to do e-mail marketing to subscribers,to deliver downloadable products and to promote offers from other places like CB, CJ, Market Health etc

Subscriptions will come from visitors to my site opting in for a free gift so I will not need to build a separate squeeze page

So I need:

Autoresponder, Digital Product delivery system, sales + payment processing and... what?

Your help appreciated greatly

    I have searched the forum and there is lots of stuff explaining the structure of the sales funnel (Warrior James Scholes has an excellent mind map) and I have a good idea how it is all supposed to fit together

    what I don't know is EXACTLY what I need, where to get it and how much it costs

    Anyone point me to sites? Or describe how I deliver the products, link to sales page.. etc Collect payment?

    help!

      Hello

      Firstly, AWeber is the best autoresponder, in my opinion. It's just $20 a month, and it has the highest delivery rate of them all.

      Pre-sell your products in your follow up e-mails to your list briefly, then link them to the ready-made sales page of the vendor, via your affiliate link. For somone like ClickBank, payment is all taken care of.

      Hope that helps.

      Hi Rick,

      So here's a basic list of what you need, as for where you get it from I'm not one to recommend places because I use them all

      Squeeze Page:
      - Email Subscribe Form (Aweber | Mail Chimp | iContact)
      - Privacy Policy And Terms (There's Some Great Free Generators)
      - Exit Pop Up (Just Use A Basic Javascript One To Start With)

      Sales Page
      - Order Process (Paypal, Clickbank, CJ, Share A Sale, GoogleCheckOut)
      - Product Delivery (Depends On Type Of Product....)

      a

    The OPT - IN is on the home page of my website so I dont need a squeeze page - I will drive traffic (free traffic) to the homepage for now.

    Product delivery: could be e-books or more likely audio/mp3 files or both. Could be video too so I need to deliver that when I receive a payment. this is for my own products of course.

    Also, will want to survey subscribers - can that be done in Aweber or do I need Survey Monkey or some site?

      Can you post a link to your home page so I can see?

      Product delivery - host the download page of the products on your hosting account, then once payment is completed, re-direct the customer to the download page. And/or send a confirmation e-mail containing download link.

      Use Survey Monkey to collect survey responses, and link to the survey via your follow up messages via AWeber.

      Hey Rick,

      I think you're making a HUGE mistake here by driving traffic to your homepage for opt-ins. This has been tested time and again, and a squeeze page converts up to 50% higher than an opt-in on a website page. You really should do both because there's no doubt you are leaving a hell of a lot of money on the table.

      Do it as soon as possible. There's no point saying that you'll just stick to putting the opt-in form on your homepage for now, get that squeeze page up asap.

      Just my 2 cents..best of luck mate.

        the thing is it's a health niche and an authority site primarily so it is tricky to just set up a squeeze page ... will do that once it is all set

        I mean it's not like advertising "how I made bazillions of dollars" with videos and getting people to click through

        anyway will get it sorted but what I need is RESOURCES people

        where do I get this stuff (please don't say Fiverr)
