Ready to start building out your sales funnels? I find that a lot of people are just lost when it comes to building out their funnels. There are a few things you need before you can get started. Here are some of the most popular options when it comes to putting together both free and paid funnels:
Lead Pages-when it comes to building opt-in pages,
LeadPages is one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal.
They've tracked and tested a variety of page styles to determine which ones
convert best, and they make it easy for you to build similar pages for your
marketing funnel. The reason people like LeadPages is because it has a drag and
drop feature that makes building your opt-in pages a breeze. It does come with
a fee of $25/month if you pay annually.So before investing, you'll want to be
sure you can recoup your investment.
AWeber - When it comes to an email marketing management
system, I choose AWeber. It's probably the easiest email manager on the market today, AWeber is the choice for many small business owners, not only because it's simple to use, but because it's also economical. Starting with a free 30-day trial and then at less than $20 per month for up to 500 subscribers, AWeber offers both autoresponders and broadcast emails, list automation, and segmenting, so you can send emails exactly when-and to whom-you want to add to your sales pipeline.
Click Funnels - With a click of a button you can easily build
and create different types of sales funnels, opt-in funnels, webinar funnels,
membership sites and so much more. Click Funnels integrates with your shopping
cart, CRM and Email Autoresponder. Click Funnels has a 14 day free
trial and after the trial you pay $97 monthly.
PayPal-Is the simplest of all payment processors, PayPal
allows you to take payments online for a very reasonable fee. You can also use
it as a simple shopping cart for your website.
Infusionsoft-Probably the top tool for any business model,
Infusionsoft is an all-in-one solution for customer management, funnel setup,
mailing list, and even membership sites. It's priced at the high end, but if
you can (and will) use all its power, then Infusionsoft is well worth the
investment. It's a hefty investment though, It's not for someone just starting
their business. At $199 a month with a upfront fee of $999 you would use this
tool for taking your business to the next level.
You can see that you have a lot of options (and even more
that I have not mentioned) when it comes to building out your sales funnels,
but what are the must-have items? At the most basic level, you must have:
A way to create web pages. A simple WordPress website will
fill this need, with a little bit of work. LeadPages, Optimize Press, and
Instabuilder are nice to have, but not essential, especially if you're just
getting started.
Take your time and start out small. Build the sales funnel
by using tools that don't cost a fortune. Once you have a few marketing funnels
up and running, you will be able to see where they can use improvement, and how
the tools available to you can help make your sales funnels convert better and
work more efficiently.
