In case you missed this from the last page...Go ahead and download the plugins immediately available so you will have them.

Remember you can find them with a simple search using the adding a plugin area of the backend of your WordPress site, which I am assuming you already have set up.

Look for and download each, then install and activate them.

Now we can start setting them up for your sales funnels...

First Step: The Elementor Plugin...

The first plugin that you will need is called Elementor. It is a page builder that helps you quickly set up attractive and effective sales pages. There is a free version and paid versions, but the free will suffice for what we are building.

Here is what it looks like:



The included free templates are more than enough for our needs, but if you'd like more options, of course you can upgrade. We will not for the purpose of this training. We are looking for low-cost here!

Once you have downloaded and installed the plugin on your site, activate it and you can start creating your first page...Here is how that goes:

(1) First, create a new page, then click on the Elementor Button on the editing page (Blue Button that says "Edit with Elementor")...




(2) You will see a editing page load and there you can build a page from scratch using the components found on the left, OR you can use templates (there are some free and some that are only accessible if you have the pro version)





(3) Look through the various options that you will see, remember there are free and pro versions of all the main pages you will need as an online marketer. Pick a free one and use it to get started...




(4) Next, make changes or additions to the page selected to fit your needs based on the offer you are promoting (i.e. a lead magnet, a front end offer, or an upsell)...

No need for a screenshot for this step since it will vary a lot for each of you...Use your ingenuity and creative skills, and make the page congruent with the ad or post that you alslo will create.

After the selected template is loaded, you can easily add elements and edit any portion of the page. After completing all of the changes you want, save that page.

You now have your first sales page for your funnel!

Depending on what kind of a sales funnel you are developing, you would create a page for a lead magnet, a front end offer, and one or more upsells. This does not take long if you have planned your funnel ahead of time (which you have to whether using a free or paid service)...

OK let's move on to the next step on creating our sales funnel...We will now set up a free account with SumoMe for forms and pop-ups etc. that will help you convert more site visitors into leads, contacts that you can build a relationship with, and finally customers.

One thing you cant do with sumo is connect to your existing email service if you are a free member
Reply
DaveSw Premium
Yes, you may have to sign up for a free account with the ones they do connect with and then transfer the leads to your other account you have in place...I always look for a workaround...Will that work for you? : )

There are no free email services to sign up to through there you have to upgrade to do it, unless ive missed something

I just did some checking and you can download and add them leads manually to your service (I will change the training to reflect this)....My understanding was they did allow the connection but only with the Pro level service...Thanks for picking that up! Changing now! Dave : )

You betcha! Sorry about the autoresponder oversight, I did not realize that as a free member you have to export the leads...Cheers! Dave : )

This might help. I don't have signed up to an autoresponder because they all are not free but I have found last year this website and wrote a post about it here at WA.

This is spot-on what I need, Dave! I knew I needed a sales funnel when I joined WA to build the foundation for that funnel. I understand how powerful these funnels can be, as they almost sucked thousands of dollars out of me (MOBE and AWOL - good funnels, but bad deals IMHO...)

I've been building up my WA based funnel foundation here, and hovering on the brink of shelling out for ClickFunnels, so I'm totally ready for your training.

Many thanks for this - it is sorely needed here...

I am glad it will help you Steve and you are more than welcome!

We are getting ready for the end of year sales, and I just did not want to pay the 299 to ClickFunnels and be locked into what they dictate. This option is really much cheaper...

Do play with this and once you get the hang of it, you will see that it is just as fast. It is getting it set up that takes just a little time, but also not that long...

Let me know how it goes...

Cheers!
Dave : )

one more question, is Yoast better to use than the all in one SEO?
Reply
DaveSw Premium
Both are good from what I have seen. We use Yoast mostly on our Ecom websites especially, but I also use it on some IM sites. Both will work well...Cheers! Dave : )

But will they conflict with one another if i use yoast as well?

Hi Dave. Great training. I am in the process if building a membership site curtesy of some training by Chris Scott. Your training will compliment my new site nicely. Thank you for the advice on using different plug ins. I had not heard of the chat bot plug ins before. This training will help me a lot. Thank you.

Good to hear and it will definitely save you a lot of money compared to the services out there. What you can build is every bit as good for zero dollars! Cheers! Dave : )
