Need advice for a funnel

5 replies
Hi;
I am a vendor and few days away from finishing my websites with my 2 programs. One gardening and 1 get ex back. To start, I use the same technique for both.
  • I offer a quick free mini course when they opt in.
  • After they opt I take them to pitch page telling them they get 1 free video every day but they can unlock all 10 right now for $17 if they want. And if they are really desperate for answers they can get the full program for $67.
  • If they don't buy, I hit them with 10 emails for next 10 days.
  • At the end of each free video I encourage them to upgrade.
This is basically mixing tripwire and core product!

I understand tests are major and since I have never done it I'd like to hear your thoughts as well.

1 - In general from your experience how can I improve this model?

2 - Is it a good idea? Isn't this "sneaky"? Of course there will be objection "Why don't you just give then 10 videos right now?" Maybe I am being paranoid.

3 - Would it be a better idea to not mention the $17 and just go with $67 product on pitch page?

4 - Would it be a good idea to keep the pitch page video as short as 8 minutes? I don't think I need to push it as hard since I have already planted the seed and I don't want to come off pushy. I might be wrong.

Cheers

    You will get many variations of funnel methods to choose from, but you are right in saying that the only way to know would be to constantly test your sales funnel to see what converts best for your target market.

    Honestly, Iam dubious about your approach in the beginning. If people know they can get the Program for FREE ( even if it is going to be over a time in increments) then they will just will NOT pay for it.

    Maybe I am wrong about this, but it is from my own experience.


    A better suggestion would be to give them the Course with just a FEW of the videos and tease them with that.

    If they are quality, they will want to pay for AL of them

      I agree with you for gardening course. But for get ex back I don't agree with you. Same with all urgent products for example "Pimple cure in 24 hours".

      I am just guessing

    I would entice them to join your list. This is important.

    Right after they opt in, send them to a sales video page and try to get the sale right away.

    Most of your customers will come right after they opt in. ( I read somewhere that a little over 50% of the people who opt in, will buy right away).

    Very small percentage will buy after 5-10 emails that you send them. Just make sure that inside your emails you also give them free content and also become a story teller. Tell them about YOU.

    Lastly, I would sell them on paying $67.

    Hi,

    Giving away part or parts of your course is good.

    But don't tell them they can get it all for free if they just
    open your emails.

    People are going to go for the free option.

    What you can do is TRANSFORM the info in your course into
    a EMAIL written course that teaches them the outline of the course.

    This way you're building relationships with them.

    And what you can then do is leave LINKS in those emails to your
    FULL course.

    Try to make your emails ENTERTAINING so your readers read all
    the way down your emails and click on the "MONEY" links.

    Also the BIGGER your back end funnel = MORE auto pilot incomes!!!!

    Try and write MORE emails and offer related products in there too.

    Because I can GUARANTEE that not everyone will BUY those 2
    offers even though you may think they will.

    So it's far better to offer them more products further down the funnel
    they reach.

    Try and get to a 30 day campaign and send some TARGETED leads
    down that funnel and TEST to see what results you get.

    Don't worry if you only have a 10 day to start off with.

    Just keep building it and enjoy the process along the way.
