Need Help Creating A Sales Funnel

5 replies
Hello warriors, recently i have been doing quite a bit of research into e-mail marketing.

Im stuck on a thing or two, and i really just cant figure them out. When your creating a squeeze page, a good tactic is too offer them something for free to opt in, then be redirected to your offer. I have nothing to offer them, and have not found any information to obtaining bonuses for them.

Between having a opt in bonus, im extremely lost on how to setup a OTO.

I have most of the knowledge i need to put my method to test, i just want to ensure i have a good sales funnel, all tips are welcome.

Also, I can not make a squeeze page, and I have no prior experience to designing anything. Do I just find someone to hire to build them for me? Im not going to waste time building a terrible looking squeeze page that is just going to lose me money.

    I said this earlier today in another Thread...if you can point your cursor and type you can create a squeeze page that is efficient.

    I use WP Optin 2.0

    It does the job.

    Also, Alex Jeffreys has some very cheaply priced Courses on funnel building that are excellent. You can google his name and check out some products

    #1 Creating a lead-magnet is easier than you're making it out to be. You don't need a 50 page ebook or a 4-part video course.

    You can get something simple up to start like a 5 bullet point cheat sheet on how to accomplish XYZ

    -ex. 5 step cheat sheet to losing 10 lbs in 4 weeks
    -ex. 5 step cheat sheet to getting 10 leads per day on Facebook

    #2 Creating an OTO is more difficult.
    Usually, you want a sub $10 product and you should redirect people to your OTO as soon as they opt-in to your list.

    The best way to create one is to reverse engineer a professional.
    For example, I've modeled my video sales letter OTO off or Ryan Deiss's 212 Blog Post Ideas.

    #3 Use LeadPages, Optimize Press 2.0 Page Builder, or ClickFunnels to create professional squeeze pages that convert, all at the click of the mouse. No techie experience needed.

    #4 Don't have a product to promote?

    • Hi

      I agree with Tim, that you are perhaps making this more difficult than it needs to be and, as the expression goes, there are more than one way to skin a cat.

      So for the lead capture, if you are not comfortable about creating your own gift, you could:

      1. Go down the 'Done 4 U' and purchase a ready made sales funnel

      2. Obtain a product or products with PLR (Private Lable Rights) and then tweak them a little to make them more unique (add and remove content or combine elements from different PLR products. Very often these type of products will come with their own squeeze page that you can either use as is or again edit slightly.

      Once we have the gift and the squeeze page to get subscribers, there is then the aspect of the OTO. Again this doesn't have to be difficult.

      1. If you purchased a PLR sales funnel, these will usually come with everything INCLUDING a product closely related to the giveaway that you can use as an OTO.

      2. Even if you don't go down the PLR route, there is a very easy 'trick' you can use, which is to offer an affiliate product. All you need here is a 'OTO redirect page', this is a page that is displayed once someone has subscribed informing the individual that they have successfully subscribed and there gift is on the way to the email address they gave and that you were now going to show them something you believe might help them.

      The page would also have a little piece of script that you would set to redirect the user to the affiliate product you had found.

      If you choose an affiliate product with 100% commission it is almost as good as offering your own product without any of the hassle of creating your own product.

      I hope this has helped and I wish you all the best with your online adventure

      Andy
