Infusionsoft

[twdavis]

Ok so I'm looking to start building a complete funnel very very soon, and I obviously will need a good CRM/Cart and I've seen Limelight mentioned on here but at the moment I cannot afford $1000/mo.


Infusionsoft looks like a good integrated option.


Anyone have extensive experience with it and how does it compare to say, Ultracart, Limelight, etc?

Infusionsoft may be cheaper than Limelight, but there is still a $2000 set-up/training fee I believe. And it is still pretty expensive for just starting up.

If you're just starting to work on your funnel, you can use Shopify to start very cheaply. Use permalinks to create a link with a pre-loaded cart and add that link to a "Buy Now" type of button on your landing page. Here's a tutorial for how to do this - it's super easy:

Not many people go this way, but it really is much much cheaper and still allows you to create a pretty great funnel if you're a little creative about it. And you can even use Shopify's $14 plan - MUCH cheaper than Infusionsoft.

Again, I'm not sure if your funnel is already doing really well or not, but if you are just beginning, you can really keep your expenses low this way.

That isn't building a funnel, that's step 1 put of 20 of a funnel.


There are lots of organs coming out, ontraport, infusionsoft, limelight, span6?, a bunch of enterprise level ones, etc. The issue is they all do things slightly different and I'd be hard to recommend one without knowing what you are doing.

I thought about it, I have a metric F*ck-load of Shopify experience from my last venture and I absolutely love Shopify, it's easy to use, I learned how to modify their Liquid code, which is very similar to HTML and can run side by side with HTML.

The only problem I have with Shopify is their fee structure but I suppose I could transition later on

Supplements. Fledgling company. Finalizing details as we speak and will be starting an INSIDERS's thread/idea bucket once I get everything finalized.

There are a million moving parts to a funnel lol so I know it's very complicated.

Yes, but when you start building a funnel, you don't start with all 20 steps. I'm just saying start here, then when you need all 20 steps, THEN move to Infusionsoft or Limelight when you can handle it. Needless to say, you can cover many other steps of the funnel using other, separate services and plug-ins and still be MUCH cheaper than Infusionsoft. It won't be integrated completely, and won't have all "20" steps but is cheaper and a good place to start.

Look into SamCart. Very easy to use.

I heard you can have the signup fee waived with Infusionsoft. Not sure how accurate that is, and even if it is, how easy it is to get the fee waived, but something to look into.

If I could get that signup fee waived I'd be very happy lol $300/mo is alot more doable than $1000 mo for right now too
