Advantages of Creating Your Own Sales Funnels using Your Domain
Let's reiterate one more time WHY it is advantageous to use WordPress and create you own sales funnel:
(1) Ownership. You do not own the pages you create when you use a service such as LeadPages or Clickfunnels (check the fine print).
(2) SEO Concerns. The SEO that you spend time doing when you use such platforms is not helping you build your name nor brand, as it can be taken down at any time by the service, and all your work will be for nought...
(3) The Internet Is Forever. If you ever decide to leave that expensive service, the links and many posts that you have made using that old link live on across the internet. That means that you are chancing losing potential business in the future.
(4) Email Delivery. When you use the domain from one of these services to send your emails, the algorithms these days will evaluate the worthiness of that domain to figure out how to best deliver the email. You are missing out on a chance to build engagement of your domain.
(5) Cost. You will spend between $47 all the way up to $297 a month for a service like Clickfunnels or LeadPages. THAT is a lot of money.
I think there is more reasons you could come up with, but you get the idea...
What can you do with sales funnels anyway?
Use them for the following online activity:
(1) Lead Lists. Collect names and emails of targeted people that you can then build a relationship with and eventually sell or promote products to.
(2) Lead Magnets. Present your lead magnets in a manner designed to draw in a wide audience and narrow down that audience to ones that are definitely interested when they take advantage of the attractive giveaway you create.
(3) Sell Your Main Offer. You have a chance then also to present in a congruent manner a related offer at a reasonable price that these prospects are interested in. This generally is a low-cost front end offer. Think getting a customer and email, not making a lot of money for this one.
(4) Upsells. Once you have a buying customer, by using a sales funnel, you can link the buyer to another offer that is related that offers further value to them. This is generally also where you start to make a profit. Remember it is easier to get a sale from someone who has just purchased something from you and who has their card out anyway...
