Wow, you have certainly thought of everything. The hardest part now is deciding what to sell and designing a good funnel. I think that takes practice and the more you do it the better you get at it.
It also requires a lot of testing, and if you test it enough and tweak it accordingly you will eventually find the winning formula. What do you use to design your sales funnel, and do you do this with only your own products or products from other people?
Absolutely Michel!
You’ve hit the nail on the head. Crafting a winning sales funnel is like putting together a deliciously irresistible recipe – it takes time, practice, and a little dash of creativity.
The beauty of this journey is…
it’s a dynamic kaleidoscopic process, full of twists and turns.
And you’re spot on about the need for testing and tweaking. It really is where the magic happens! The more you fine-tune your funnel, the closer you get to that winning formula.
Also…
Even though I use the term “funnel” – personally I like to think of it as a journey for your prospect (funnels are a bit less personal IMO)
As for tools, there’s a treasure trove out there! Many marketers use platforms like ClickFunnels, Leadpages, or even custom WordPress setups.
The key is finding what suits your unique style and goals (and of course the goals of your audience..
And when it comes to what you’re selling, it’s a bit of a mix, isn’t it?
Your own products have that personal touch, but affiliate marketing can also be a game-changer. Diversifying your product line-up can give your funnel more flavor.
In the end, the world of sales funnels is like a dynamic “personal” dance – one part strategy, one part creativity, and a whole lot of learning along the way.
So keep that passion and enthusiasm going because you’re on the right track to success my friend.
Always in your corner…
