Have you ever been frustrated because you want to generate leads, sell your products, advertise your products or manage the sales of your products online, but you’re not much of a coder or programmer so you feel totally doomed?
If that’s the case then I totally get it. I know how personally overwhelming it can be when you have beautiful product ideas, book ideas, course ideas and business ideas — but the technical hurdles stand in your way.
That’s why I’m a huge fan of ClickFunnels, and I’d like to spend a few minutes talking about what ClickFunnels is, and also how it can help your business.
ClickFunnels Is Perfect For Easily Building All Different Types Of Marketing Pages
These days there are so many different tools to help you build beautiful marketing pages. Obviously I’m a huge fan of WordPress and blogging, and I’m also a huge fan of ClickFunnels.
The way ClickFunnels works is simple, and to understand how it works it’s essential to know what a sales funnel, or a marketing funnel is. ClickFunnels is all about brainstorming, building and launching awesome sales (and marketing) funnels without any technical knowhow.
A Sales Funnel is a very specific type of page that is designed to accomplish a specific goal, such as making a sale, or generating a lead. My favorite thing about sales funnels, is that they are designed to be very to the point, so this way you can split test your campaigns in order to determine what works, and what doesn’t work.
There are many different types of funnels for different situations. For example there are book funnels, product launch funnels, lead capture page funnels, e-commerce funnels, among a huge list of other funnels.
So if you’ve ever been frustrated because you want to build lead capture pages, sales pages, opt-in pages, registration pages, and other marketing pages, then ClickFunnels makes it really easy to accomplish.
There Are ClickFunnels Templates For All Kinds Of Situations, And The ClickFunnels Editor Makes It Very Easy To Edit The Pages
The best thing about ClickFunnels is probably the fact that it’s very easy to use. If you’ve ever tried to install your own web server or deal with any technical stuff, and if that wasn’t your cup of tea, then ClickFunnels is much easier in comparison.
If you can program your DVR or navigate and install different apps on your phone, then you’ll probably have an easy enough time building beautiful marketing pages using ClickFunnels.
That’s because when you first start using ClickFunnels, all you have to do is select one of the sales funnel templates. Once you’ve chosen a template, you need only edit the content on the page so you can customize the template to match your own brand, business, style, and message.
This is all relatively drag and drop easy, so you can have a really cool marketing funnel setup without having to write a single line of code yourself.
ClickFunnels Can Help You To Generate Leads For Your Business
If you want to generate leads, or build your email list, then ClickFunnels can definitely help you to that.
The truth is that there are so many different marketing funnel types that you might want to experiment with if you want to generate leads.
My personally favorite style marketing funnel for lead generation is the simple squeeze page funnel. The squeeze page funnel starts with a very small and simple “squeeze page” (or a “lead capture page”) and that page has one goal and one goal only; to generate an email lead!
Once you generate the lead, you can then present to them a “thank you page” or a “confirmation page” that thanks them for subscribing, and on that very same page you could even promote one of your offers, introduce yourself, share a cool piece of content, or really you can share anything that you wish.
This is all relatively straight forward to accomplish within ClickFunnels, and you can easily add or insert calls to actions, videos, or customized text so you can help to brand yourself, welcome your new subscriber, give them directions, give them a cool book, or even promote an affiliate offer that you had in mind.
ClickFunnels Can Help You To Host And Secure Your Digital Products
One of the most frustrating things in the world is if you have an awesome digital product that you want to market to the world, but you have no way of selling, securing, or delivering your product to the world.
ClickFunnels makes it very easy to sell your digital products, so if you’ve ever been frustrated because you’re not sure how to add the dreaded “add to cart button” onto your websites, or if you don’t even have a website to help sell your products, then ClickFunnels might be worth learning more about.
ClickFunnels can also help you to secure your product behind a password protected membership area. This way, you can provide to your end user a more professional experience, while also helping to minimize the digital piracy of your products.
ClickFunnels Can Even Help You To Sell Your Physical Ecommerce Products
One really cool sales funnel idea is the Ecommerce funnel!
This is a type of funnel that’s specifically designed to sell your Ecommerce products in a really cool way.
The best part about an Ecommerce funnel, in my opinion, is that you can then offer your end user an upsell.
So, maybe if you’re selling gourmet cookies, you could then offer your customer a chance to buy a BIG batch of cookies, or maybe you have a limited supply of seasonal cookies, or maybe you could even sell an awesome batch of raspberry scones, pie, or absolutely anything else that made sense and could enhance the experience of your end user.
ClickFunnels Can Help You To Sell Your Books
If you’re an Author then having a book funnel can be one of the coolest things in the world for a couple of different reasons.
First of all, if you have a book funnel, then you can use this as a mechanism upon which to not only sell your book, but you can also try to upsell your buyers more books, or additional products after they make the first purchase.
There are all kinds of neat funnel ideas for Authors, and if you think outside the box I’m sure you could think of even more. (There is another really cool book funnel idea called a “Free Plus Shipping” book funnel. This might be worth checking out if you’re selling a physical copy of your book.)
ClickFunnels Is Also Great For Online Teachers
As an online teacher I think that teaching rocks!
The frustrating thing about being a teacher, of course, is trying to set out on your own and build your own online school.
It’s much easier to launch in a third party marketplace, or to use a tool like ClickFunnels to help build your own course platform.
ClickFunnels makes it really easy to setup a membership website for your students, so you can host your courses from behind a secure membership portal so only your students can get access.
The beautiful thing about having your own secure membership, is that you can also use much of this “digital real estate” to let your students know about your other offers. (So if you have any books, or other courses, or even awesome affiliate products that you would like to let your students know about, you can easily insert links within your membership area to let your students know).
ClickFunnels Can Help You To Run Automated Webinars
Automated webinars are powerful for a few different reasons. I think the main reason automated webinars rock, is that they can be a powerful way to generate a lead.
But automated webinars are more than just a lead generation method, and webinars can also be a very effective way to share powerful content with your audience, to teach something, and webinars can also be a very powerful sales tool.
The best thing about ClickFunnels webinars, is that they’re entirely automated.
In other words, you can record the perfect presentation one time, and then leverage that presentation over and over again using an automated webinar.
I think that automated webinars rock, and ClickFunnels makes it very easy to plan and deploy your automated webinar so you can use it to generate leads, to share your best content, and to also promote your products, offers, and business.
