#3. You Have To Have Value Before You Can Have A Successful Funnel:

 

As noted above a funnel helps take your customer through the purchasing process with ease. But before you can create high converting funnels of any kind you should focus on adding value to your customer. You can add value by figuring out the products and services are you offering as a company and how they can best serve your target audience. Known as the Value Ladder.

 

For example, rather than bombarding your visitors with sales offers on every page you should walk them through the sales process to see where their interest lies.

 

Spamming on every page is also not good for SEO as Google will just see your entire website as one big promo offer.

 

It’s important to warm up your visitors aka (Target Audience) to the purchasing process. The steps are different depending on what steps and product and services you have as a company but the general rule is the same. Customers make purchasing decisions based on people they like and trust.

 

If you can’t build trust and lead your audience in a way that’s simple to understand you won’t make sales.

 

Many times I have been ready to purchase a product online. When I land on the website they might have a great review on the product I want to buy, unfortunately I’m left hanging with no information on the next step. No link to purchase the product, no more information button, not even an autoresponder to get my email for further offers.

 

The review is one-dimensional with no options.

 

I’m left with no other decision but to leave and head to somewhere else where I can spend my money.

 

What a bummer…

 

Your goal as an online marketer is to turn visitors into buying customers.

 

If you don’t want visitors quickly leaving consider creating helpful engaging content that links to relevant calls to action and RELEVANT products and services.

 

So you can help assist your visitors on what to do next without leaving your visitors like I was… Searching for more.

 

When you link these relevant products and services to relevant content that moves your customer through the purchase cycle. You have what’s known as a funnel.

    Thanks for explaining what funnels are. I thought I understood but was looking for some confirmation I was on the right track.

    A question, please. As a complete newbie, I want to build an email list but I’m not sure I have anything of “value” to offer a potential subscriber/customer. Do you think I should spend time figuring out what I bring to the table and creating something or should I just use affiliate marketing?

    I looked at Ckickfunnels but it’s priced way out of my comfort level at the moment. Do you have any other cheaper or better suggestions?

    Thanks

    • Hello Ian. Im happy to hear you found the article helpful. That is a great question. Affiliate marketing is great to use for both options. When you don’t have your own products or services there are many different products with affiliate programs ready for you to use. When you get more comfortable with the affiliate marketing space you also can start to create your own products, services, and trainings for an even higher profit. Both options have there benefit. I would recommend doing both.
      Thank you for stopping by the page. I wish you the best on your marketing Journey! 🙂
