Create a sales funnel

Many entrepreneurs say they have a 'company', but many have a hobby.
A company makes money and a hobby costs money.
We want to build a company right?

In order to realize this, we have to sell a product or service,

But how do we do this?

For this we need a sales funnel!
A sales funnel is a process where we try to convert visitors to customers.

In order to use a sales funnel well, we need to take 4 steps.

The 4 steps are:

  1. A lead magnet
    This is a valuable product or e-book you can exchange for an email address

  2. A tripwire
    This is a cheap offer to astound anyone.
    This product creates a bond with the buyer to your business.

  3. The real deal
    This is the normal product you offer

  4. The VIP product
    This is something extra or a VIP version of your normal product.

The point of a sales tunnel is to have visitors convert to loyal customers.

If we link this back to WA and the BootCamp we get this sales funnel process:


This is my free sales funnel template for you:

  1. The lead magnet
    Create an awesome PDF to share with your readers, that can be:
    How to make a PDF in 7 steps

    101 awesome niche ideas
    Complete plan for an online business
    Definition of an online entrepreneur - ebook
    Creative writing course for beginners
    A-Z how to increase website traffic
    How to avoid scams online

    Be creative!

  2. The tripwire
    7-days free premium account, no credit card needed
    Instant interaction in live chat with members, and if you are lucky, even with the CEO's of Wealthy Affiliate. You can speak to them daily in the live chat.

  3. The real deal
    What do you get when you join as premium at Wealthy Affiliate?

    Live wabinars of Jay
    50 comprehensive Certification Course lessons
    Choose from Thousands of Awesome WordPress Website Templates
    Etcetera...

  4. The VIP Product
    Everything from the real deal + the action taker bonus.
  • You are going to get a 59% discount on your first month Premium membership (only $19)
  • You are going to get personal and private access to the co-owners!
  • If you ever have a question or need help with your campaigns, Kyle and Carson, the co-owners will be there. Where else can you access the CEO of the company for help?

I hope this will help you build an awesome online business!
