While this is a marketplace post marking the re-launch of my popular course “5-Steps to Create a Money-Making Machine”, by the end of this post, whether you decide to join my course or not, I will give you a full education (that you can take action on) about what it takes to create a 6, 7 or even 8-figure income with sales funnels.

Who I Am And Why You Should Listen

If you don’t know already, I own a direct response agency called TANDA Copywriting, and we specialize in conversion rate optimization, building funnels, and generating traffic for funnels.

We’ve worked with e-com business owners (dropshippers, private label, etc.), info product businesses, coaches and consultants, and we’ve helped them structure sales funnels, drive traffic, and maximise their conversions. In the process we have helped people scale to 6 or 7 figures in income with their funnels alone.

Why Should You Care About Sales Funnels?

Everyone who is selling anything online has a sales funnel, which is the sales strategy that they use to gain new and repeat customers. A sales funnel is simply how you deliver the value you have to offer to your customers to gain maximum exposure as fast as possible.

If you don’t know how to build a sales funnel, you’ll have a hard time scaling your business and actually selling your product/service. Regardless of what business you’re in, having a thorough understanding of sales funnels and what makes them work can be the difference between making thousands and making millions.

I would say understanding sales funnels is the number one way to grow your income. And that’s true whether you’re just getting started or currently running a Fastlane business. My promise to you is that if you read to the end, you’ll very likely think the same.

What is a Sales Funnel?

It’s simply the system that is responsible for getting you new and repeat customers. In short, it is a money-making machine.

Sales Funnels Are Complex Systems

The first thing to understand about funnels is that they are complex systems. This means that they have many interrelated parts, and to get your entire funnel working like a well-oiled sales machine, you must optimize each part.

It also means that a sales funnel is more than the sum of its individual parts, and that your returns throughout the sales funnel compound. Say your funnel has 5 parts, and you increase the effectiveness of each part by 10%, the end result will be a 61% increase in your bottom line (not 50%).

Breaking Systems into Subsystems

Briefly speaking, each funnel can be broken into two sub systems. The frontend and the backend.

The frontend of the funnel represents that part of your sales process that is responsible for bringing new leads and prospects into your business. For some people, this may represent getting the customer to make the first purchase, or otherwise getting the customer’s email and other details for further contact.

The frontend has multiple sub systems itself. You have traffic generation, and you have the rest of the process that is required to take a customer from a lead to a prospect, and finally to a first-time customer. So the series of pages, webinars, lead magnets, ads and whatever else you use are part of your frontend.

Then you have the backend. It is responsible for building trust with your prospects, converting them into customers, getting referrals, and getting repeat buyers. Typically, your backend is formed of email marketing and the communication that goes on after your prospects or customers have given you permission to be in touch with them. The role of the backend is twofold.

The first is to act as a support for your frontend. One of its goals is to maximise the effectiveness of your frontend and its subsystems. Abandoned carts would be an example.

Second, your backend aims to build your relationship with your customers and move them all the way through your funnel, including getting repeat buyers, referrals and all the rest. This may require additional web pages and procedures.

A Very Simple Funnel for a Freelancer

A good way to think about sales funnels that shatters a lot of misconceptions is to take a simple funnel, break it down into its subsystems, see how it works, and see how improvements could help the individual.

So let’s take a freelancer who works as a web designer on Upwork. Intuitively, such a person does not think they have a funnel. They’re probably making most of the mistakes people make when thinking about funnels and losing a lot because of it.

It might be why they’re a $10-20/hr freelancer, and not pulling in with the big boys at $100/hr and above.

What is the ideal, most perfect situation for such a freelancer?

It consists in the following:
✔ Applying to jobs
✔ A high response rate to applications
✔ Getting a lot of invites from clients
✔ A high conversion rate once client has responded
✔ Consistently receiving great feedback
✔ Getting referrals
✔ Getting repeat business

That in a nutshell is what the freelancer wants his funnel to achieve. The first three components are covered by the frontend of the freelancer’s sales funnel, and the last four by their backend.

What does the frontend consist in?

The freelancer’s:
• Profile
• Application Procedure
• Search Engine Position

Each of these has multiple subsystems. The profile has the profile title, the description, the video, the freelancer’s photo, the skills they list and so on.

Each has different principles governing it. For example, the search engine position is largely determined by the velocity of work the freelancer can do. A large volume of work and successful jobs, means higher position in search results and more invites PRESUMING the freelancer’s profile is strong & appealing.

That’s why if you stop working for awhile on Upwork, you get no more invites. It’s also a way for Upwork to make sure you’re not stealing their clients off the platform.

The strength of the profile is governed by the freelancer’s unique value proposition, and their market positioning. How are they different than their competitors? Why should anyone do business with them?

Then we have the application procedure. What system does the freelancer have? How are they using the application procedure to provide value? Do they have a system to make applications daily? What guarantee does the freelancer give during the application process that makes the decision to work with them a “no-brainer”?

By identifying these components of the funnel, the freelancer can continuously work to improve all of them. And the results will compound. A 10% improvement in their profile and application procedure, will result by itself in an improvement in their search engine position, which will cause a mini spike in the demand for their services.

Results will NOT be linear. But it does take a consistent process of identifying the components of the sales funnel, and working continuously to improve them.

Creating a high-converting funnel is a PROCESS not an EVENT.

What about the backend?

Much like the freelancer’s frontend, the backend also consists in certain elements:
• Obtaining a Call/Discussion to Qualify the Buyer, Identify Needs & Convert Them
• Asking for Feedback
• Asking for Referrals

The freelancer will have Standard Procedures to handle asking for feedback and referrals. His work is to improve them – identify when they are working, and when they’re not, and always finding ways to make them better.

Discussing with the client is a critical aspect of the backend. The freelancer’s goal is NOT just to sell the client for maximum value possible upfront. It should rather be to qualify if they are the right kind of client (you don’t want to work with people who won’t treat you right for example), and then identify their needs.

This is super important, and here’s why.

They may need something different than what they’re asking for. It may be a possibility for the freelancer to upsell or cross-sell them to another service. And it lays the ground-work for getting repeat purchases by helping the client solve their REAL problem, whatever that is, which will likely take more than just one job to do.

The freelancer’s aim should be to become a CONSULTANT for the client, not a transactional deal, and the freelancer should refuse clients who are transactional because they are a one-time deal that prevents the freelancer from onboarding ideal clients.

Again, by understanding his funnel, and working to improve and maximise the value of each component, over time, the freelancer will literarily skyrocket his income, and become a $100+/hour worker in no time.

Not only will he understand the MATHEMATICAL CAUSES of his success, but he will become the very BEST in his chosen field, literarily LEADING the field because he understands the sales process better than his competitors, thus putting him in the position to provide the most value.

The Biggest Mistakes People Make With Sales Funnels
Many people ignore or misuse sales funnels because of these very common mistakes:

✖ Thinking that sales funnels are just the things you build using Clickfunnels or similar software;
✖ Thinking they don’t have, or don’t need, a sales funnel. Every successful business – whether a freelancer or a Fastlane type business - has a sales funnel, whether they know it or not;
✖ Thinking that they can make easy, plug and play money once their funnel is built. This is not how it goes, and it usually takes quite a bit of tinkering and optimizing;
✖ Thinking that having a funnel saves them from delivering real value and doing real worthwhile work for their clients;
✖ Thinking that a funnel is a way to TRICK clients, and cheat people out of their money. It’s not – it’s a method for delivering value, and if you have no value to offer, then you don’t have anything to use a sales funnel for;
✖ Not using their funnel to build trust with their prospects before asking for money;
✖ Not investing in the backend of their funnel. The backend is where MOST of the truly BIG results will come from, so a lot of money is left on the table by too much focus on the frontend and the apparently “easy” money that takes little work;
✖ Not breaking up their funnels into subsystems and then working to optimize each subsystem in the context of the whole;
✖ Not sticking with it long enough to do all the optimizations that are required;
✖ Using funnels as an EXCUSE for not being the absolute best in their chosen field.

Most of the people who fail at building successful funnels and making 100K-1Mil+ make one or more of the mistakes above.

And here’s the biggie. Just knowing those mistakes is NOT enough to avoid them.

Fortunately, there is a way to avoid them, but that means going to the root of the problem. It means uncovering the mindset that generates the type of belief-system that will fall headfirst into these mistakes even if the person knows them in advance.

We may think we know the mistakes, but if we have the wrong mindset, and the wrong belief system, then that system will create a cognitive blindspot, and in the heat of the moment, we will act as if we do NOT know the mistakes at all – and we will fail.

So let’s talk about that for a bit. We’ll make it easy to understand by building the portraits of the FAILURE mindset, and the SUCCESS mindset, and putting them next to each other.

In the process you will see how the characters’s underlying beliefs get them to make the WRONG choice and fall prey to the mistakes above even if they should have known better.

Here’s Joe: He Makes Many of The Mistakes Above & Builds Funnels That Nobody Buys From

Joe got into online marketing as a way to make more money, through whatever means possible. He hates the job he’s working, and he hates that he’s always been average. He’s always looking to make a buck, and every opportunity he gets he wants to get something out of it.

His biggest fear is remaining stuck in the same job, and he’s going to take any “opportunity” that promises to make him a quick extra buck. The more opportunities, the more likely he is to get lucky.

He’s a real go-getter and is determined to be rich. And yet, somehow he barely makes enough money every month. He’s sick and tired of working long hours, and is determined to STOP this. From now on he will make the “4-hour work week” a reality, work less, and make MORE.

So he jumps into online marketing. It looks promising, you can reach billions of people after all through the internet. And it’s easy. You sit behind a computer, no one sees you. You can be a nerd or a jerk, nobody cares.

What’s the fastest way to make money? Joe buys a book teaching him about the secrets of the dotcom era, learns about funnels, and finds a quick product he can dropship, and gets going. He follows the “secrets” to the letter. He meticulously spends time setting up offers and hooks, to trick his customers, and just get the money fast. After all, he deserves it.

He amps up the pressure, uses fake limited time countdown timers, guarantees, and everything it takes to score the sale. His focus is to PUSH as many people as possible to buy, and make him rich in the process.

But, despite following the advice of the gurus, he comes short. Not once, but time and time again. He can barely make enough to survive. He’s always fighting an uphill battle, always looking for the next niche, for the next biggest product, for the next shiny opportunity.

Joe is broke, frustrated, and determined to get money. He believes 100% that it is possible to get that money by convincing people to hand it to him. Afterall, it is possible to convince anyone to do anything, and that’s what he needs to learn. Even though he hasn’t learned it yet. Maybe the next guru will show him how.

On the other hand, here’s Andy: He Is Making A 6-Figure Income With Funnels (NOT referring to our @Andy Black lol, though I’m sure he is very successful with his funnels):

Andy used to work a job he hated. He used to be stuck with someone else designing his schedule and life. But not anymore. Andy ditched the script, and at first he was just like Joe.

He tried screwing people over and grabbing their money. But soon he reached a breaking point. He was fast running out of money, and would have to get a job again. In desperation, Andy realised that it was his own mindset that was holding him back.

He realised, that he was operating based on false assumptions. For example, he assumed that it was possible to TRICK people to give you their money. That you could convince people to do anything. But that was clearly false. It wasn’t working out for him.

So Andy decides to change his approach. He would no longer go after the fast buck. He would no longer use all the tactics that the gurus gave him, trying to trick as many people as possible for a buck.

Instead he realised that the only way to make money is to have other people give it to you. And other people, unless you rob them or force them to do otherwise, will only give it to you if you’re providing something that they VALUE, and if they TRUST you.

So based on his new mindset, Andy got to work. Instead of just PUSHING a product out there, Andy reached out to his market and uncovered a real problem.

Instead of asking to get paid right away, or using a lead magnet as a bait, he created a lead magnet that actually solved a pressing problem for his customers. Then he gave it away for free, and started running traffic to it.

Instead of amping up the PRESSURE to get the sale using the tactics he learned from the dotcom experts (limited time discounts, countdown timers, and all the rest), Andy focused on being upfront, honest and helpful to his prospects.

He focused on advising his clients instead. If they were better off without his service, he told them. He sent them to his competitors instead. He did whatever was in the best interest of his prospects, putting their interests ahead of his own. Every. Single. Time.

And they started to trust him. It wasn’t long before Andy uncovered more pain-points and started delivering solutions for them. People started buying, and lo and behold that Andy was now making MORE than a full time income with his funnel…

The Mindset Shift From Joe to Andy Is a PREREQUISITE To Succeed With Funnels

Conclusion:
Be like Andy, not like Joe, if you want to succeed with funnels. This is a prerequisite to avoid the mistakes we mentioned above. Without this mindset shift, no amount of knowledge will help or save you. Not even this course.

Sales Funnels Are Alive

Because many people confuse sales funnels with the stuff that is built with Clickfunnels, and the stuff famous gurus teach you about, they think that sales funnels are passé. It used to be possible to make money with funnels, but not anymore.

Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true. Yes, it’s no longer possible to do a product launch funnel, and push people to buy through influencers, JVs, and high-pressure tactics like fake scarcity.

Yet, that’s not all that funnels are about. If you have a proper understanding of funnels, with the correct “Andy” Mindset, it is possible to make 6, 7 or even 8-figures and beyond.

How Far Can Sales Funnels Take You?

Pretty much as far as you want to go. Sales funnels are key whether you want to build a lifestyle “4-hour a week” business or a mega successful Fastlane business. They govern the mathematical principles that are behind your sales success, and an understanding of funnels shows you how you can actually improve your numbers and reach your goals.

In The Short Term (<3 months)

A better understanding of sales funnels will help you uncover areas of your business that you could improve to take your income to the next level. You’ll be better able to identify the limiting factors in your growth and identify strategies that could allow you to tackle them.

If you don’t yet have a business, a better understanding of sales funnels will help you see opportunities everywhere. You’ll discover new gaps in the market and ways that you can use to add value to fill them. And you’ll be able to start building a REAL, MARKET-BASED business around them.

It could even be the start of your Fastlane business.

In The Medium Term (6 months – 1 year)

You’ll be growing your income and perfecting your sales funnel using your newfound knowledge. You’ll be getting better results than you ever thought possible before, and you’ll have more ideas about growing your business than you ever had before.

You will start feeling confident that you understand the bedrock principles that determine everything else, and you will be well on your way to becoming the best in your chosen field.

In The Long Run (we’re all dead… just kidding – 1 year ++)

You’ll be able to make a very nice income, operating the kind of business system that is right for you. Some people may be satisfied with a lifestyle business that maximises their time, others will want to make the big bucks.

Regardless of what you want, you can get there with a solid understanding of sales funnels.

And here’s how…

Here’s How You Can Use Sales Funnels To Grow Your Sales & Fuel Your Business
Introducing Funnelosophy: The Science of Building High-Converting Sales Funnels

Inside my agency, we have been perfecting what we call “funnelosophy” or rather the science of building high-converting funnels. As you saw from the above, funnels are complex systems. Even basic funnels, like the simple funnel a freelancer has is difficult to get your head around.

You don’t know how one change can affect the rest of the funnel. Luckily, we have discovered two foundational principles that can help you determine what you should do to perfect ALL parts of your funnel.

They are presented in full detail in my course.

But, basically, they are the Principle of Value & The Principle of Trust.

This forum has already been introduced to the Principle of Trust in this mega successful thread with 70+ likes here: You WON'T Make BIG MONEY Until You Understand This... Even If You're Providing Value

Succinctly put, The Principle of Value states that transactions only take place when prospects are aware of a problem, its painful consequences and a real solution to the problem.

The Principle of Trust
states that if the prospect is aware of a problem and its consequences and is presented with a solution, then they will actually buy only if they TRUST that the solution presented will cure the pain and provide enough benefits to outweigh the pain associated with the solution itself.

The difference between successful funnels and unsuccessful ones can be found in how they treat the two principles. Funnels that use both principles make a lot of money, and those that ignore one, or God forbid, both, make little or no money.

And the difference can be HUGE. Just a tiny shift can cause drastically different results.

By taking BOTH principles into consideration when you decide what changes to make to your funnel, you will be guided towards making those changes which lead to better returns for both yourself and your clients.

The more value you offer your clients, the more value they will offer you in terms of money paid. Improving your sales funnel is improving the value you’re offering your customers and the trust you’re building with them.

Start Dominating Your Competition

As you improve your knowledge of funnels, you’ll also understand how to use your funnel as a weapon to crush your competition and dominate your industry. And I’m not kidding, that’s what you can actually do.

And here’s how. Once you have a solid knowledge of sales funnels, you’ll understand that your funnel’s frontend can operate at breakeven, or even at a loss. Your goal will be to onboard as many clients as possible, even if you’re losing money on them initially.

This is another principle you’ll learn about in the course. It is the 80/20 principle as applied to funnels. It states that 80% of your revenue will come from the bottom 20% of your funnel.

So acquiring customers at breakeven or even at a loss is entirely possible for you. Your competitors will not understand how it’s possible for you to pay 2x what they’re paying to acquire a single customer.

And the secret lies in Pareto’s Principle! By using it, you will be able to outcompete your competitors when it comes to acquiring customers which will result in your dominant position.

That’s what happens when you build sales funnels around the Principles of Funnelosophy. You crush the competition, delight your customers, and dominate your industry.

While this is a marketplace post marking the re-launch of my popular course “5-Steps to Create a Money-Making Machine”, by the end of this post, whether you decide to join my course or not, I will give you a full education (that you can take action on) about what it takes to create a 6, 7 or even 8-figure income with sales funnels.

Who I Am And Why You Should Listen

If you don’t know already, I own a direct response agency called TANDA Copywriting, and we specialize in conversion rate optimization, building funnels, and generating traffic for funnels.

We’ve worked with e-com business owners (dropshippers, private label, etc.), info product businesses, coaches and consultants, and we’ve helped them structure sales funnels, drive traffic, and maximise their conversions. In the process we have helped people scale to 6 or 7 figures in income with their funnels alone.

Why Should You Care About Sales Funnels?

Everyone who is selling anything online has a sales funnel, which is the sales strategy that they use to gain new and repeat customers. A sales funnel is simply how you deliver the value you have to offer to your customers to gain maximum exposure as fast as possible.

If you don’t know how to build a sales funnel, you’ll have a hard time scaling your business and actually selling your product/service. Regardless of what business you’re in, having a thorough understanding of sales funnels and what makes them work can be the difference between making thousands and making millions.

I would say understanding sales funnels is the number one way to grow your income. And that’s true whether you’re just getting started or currently running a Fastlane business. My promise to you is that if you read to the end, you’ll very likely think the same.

What is a Sales Funnel?

It’s simply the system that is responsible for getting you new and repeat customers. In short, it is a money-making machine.

Sales Funnels Are Complex Systems

The first thing to understand about funnels is that they are complex systems. This means that they have many interrelated parts, and to get your entire funnel working like a well-oiled sales machine, you must optimize each part.

It also means that a sales funnel is more than the sum of its individual parts, and that your returns throughout the sales funnel compound. Say your funnel has 5 parts, and you increase the effectiveness of each part by 10%, the end result will be a 61% increase in your bottom line (not 50%).

Breaking Systems into Subsystems

Briefly speaking, each funnel can be broken into two sub systems. The frontend and the backend.

The frontend of the funnel represents that part of your sales process that is responsible for bringing new leads and prospects into your business. For some people, this may represent getting the customer to make the first purchase, or otherwise getting the customer’s email and other details for further contact.

The frontend has multiple sub systems itself. You have traffic generation, and you have the rest of the process that is required to take a customer from a lead to a prospect, and finally to a first-time customer. So the series of pages, webinars, lead magnets, ads and whatever else you use are part of your frontend.

Then you have the backend. It is responsible for building trust with your prospects, converting them into customers, getting referrals, and getting repeat buyers. Typically, your backend is formed of email marketing and the communication that goes on after your prospects or customers have given you permission to be in touch with them. The role of the backend is twofold.

The first is to act as a support for your frontend. One of its goals is to maximise the effectiveness of your frontend and its subsystems. Abandoned carts would be an example.

Second, your backend aims to build your relationship with your customers and move them all the way through your funnel, including getting repeat buyers, referrals and all the rest. This may require additional web pages and procedures.

A Very Simple Funnel for a Freelancer

A good way to think about sales funnels that shatters a lot of misconceptions is to take a simple funnel, break it down into its subsystems, see how it works, and see how improvements could help the individual.

So let’s take a freelancer who works as a web designer on Upwork. Intuitively, such a person does not think they have a funnel. They’re probably making most of the mistakes people make when thinking about funnels and losing a lot because of it.

It might be why they’re a $10-20/hr freelancer, and not pulling in with the big boys at $100/hr and above.

What is the ideal, most perfect situation for such a freelancer?

It consists in the following:
✔ Applying to jobs
✔ A high response rate to applications
✔ Getting a lot of invites from clients
✔ A high conversion rate once client has responded
✔ Consistently receiving great feedback
✔ Getting referrals
✔ Getting repeat business

That in a nutshell is what the freelancer wants his funnel to achieve. The first three components are covered by the frontend of the freelancer’s sales funnel, and the last four by their backend.

What does the frontend consist in?

The freelancer’s:
• Profile
• Application Procedure
• Search Engine Position

Each of these has multiple subsystems. The profile has the profile title, the description, the video, the freelancer’s photo, the skills they list and so on.

Each has different principles governing it. For example, the search engine position is largely determined by the velocity of work the freelancer can do. A large volume of work and successful jobs, means higher position in search results and more invites PRESUMING the freelancer’s profile is strong & appealing.

That’s why if you stop working for awhile on Upwork, you get no more invites. It’s also a way for Upwork to make sure you’re not stealing their clients off the platform.

The strength of the profile is governed by the freelancer’s unique value proposition, and their market positioning. How are they different than their competitors? Why should anyone do business with them?

Then we have the application procedure. What system does the freelancer have? How are they using the application procedure to provide value? Do they have a system to make applications daily? What guarantee does the freelancer give during the application process that makes the decision to work with them a “no-brainer”?

By identifying these components of the funnel, the freelancer can continuously work to improve all of them. And the results will compound. A 10% improvement in their profile and application procedure, will result by itself in an improvement in their search engine position, which will cause a mini spike in the demand for their services.

Results will NOT be linear. But it does take a consistent process of identifying the components of the sales funnel, and working continuously to improve them.

Creating a high-converting funnel is a PROCESS not an EVENT.

What about the backend?

Much like the freelancer’s frontend, the backend also consists in certain elements:
• Obtaining a Call/Discussion to Qualify the Buyer, Identify Needs & Convert Them
• Asking for Feedback
• Asking for Referrals

The freelancer will have Standard Procedures to handle asking for feedback and referrals. His work is to improve them – identify when they are working, and when they’re not, and always finding ways to make them better.

Discussing with the client is a critical aspect of the backend. The freelancer’s goal is NOT just to sell the client for maximum value possible upfront. It should rather be to qualify if they are the right kind of client (you don’t want to work with people who won’t treat you right for example), and then identify their needs.

This is super important, and here’s why.

They may need something different than what they’re asking for. It may be a possibility for the freelancer to upsell or cross-sell them to another service. And it lays the ground-work for getting repeat purchases by helping the client solve their REAL problem, whatever that is, which will likely take more than just one job to do.

The freelancer’s aim should be to become a CONSULTANT for the client, not a transactional deal, and the freelancer should refuse clients who are transactional because they are a one-time deal that prevents the freelancer from onboarding ideal clients.

Again, by understanding his funnel, and working to improve and maximise the value of each component, over time, the freelancer will literarily skyrocket his income, and become a $100+/hour worker in no time.

Not only will he understand the MATHEMATICAL CAUSES of his success, but he will become the very BEST in his chosen field, literarily LEADING the field because he understands the sales process better than his competitors, thus putting him in the position to provide the most value.

The Biggest Mistakes People Make With Sales Funnels
Many people ignore or misuse sales funnels because of these very common mistakes:

✖ Thinking that sales funnels are just the things you build using Clickfunnels or similar software;
✖ Thinking they don’t have, or don’t need, a sales funnel. Every successful business – whether a freelancer or a Fastlane type business - has a sales funnel, whether they know it or not;
✖ Thinking that they can make easy, plug and play money once their funnel is built. This is not how it goes, and it usually takes quite a bit of tinkering and optimizing;
✖ Thinking that having a funnel saves them from delivering real value and doing real worthwhile work for their clients;
✖ Thinking that a funnel is a way to TRICK clients, and cheat people out of their money. It’s not – it’s a method for delivering value, and if you have no value to offer, then you don’t have anything to use a sales funnel for;
✖ Not using their funnel to build trust with their prospects before asking for money;
✖ Not investing in the backend of their funnel. The backend is where MOST of the truly BIG results will come from, so a lot of money is left on the table by too much focus on the frontend and the apparently “easy” money that takes little work;
✖ Not breaking up their funnels into subsystems and then working to optimize each subsystem in the context of the whole;
✖ Not sticking with it long enough to do all the optimizations that are required;
✖ Using funnels as an EXCUSE for not being the absolute best in their chosen field.

Most of the people who fail at building successful funnels and making 100K-1Mil+ make one or more of the mistakes above.

And here’s the biggie. Just knowing those mistakes is NOT enough to avoid them.

Fortunately, there is a way to avoid them, but that means going to the root of the problem. It means uncovering the mindset that generates the type of belief-system that will fall headfirst into these mistakes even if the person knows them in advance.

We may think we know the mistakes, but if we have the wrong mindset, and the wrong belief system, then that system will create a cognitive blindspot, and in the heat of the moment, we will act as if we do NOT know the mistakes at all – and we will fail.

So let’s talk about that for a bit. We’ll make it easy to understand by building the portraits of the FAILURE mindset, and the SUCCESS mindset, and putting them next to each other.

In the process you will see how the characters’s underlying beliefs get them to make the WRONG choice and fall prey to the mistakes above even if they should have known better.

Here’s Joe: He Makes Many of The Mistakes Above & Builds Funnels That Nobody Buys From

Joe got into online marketing as a way to make more money, through whatever means possible. He hates the job he’s working, and he hates that he’s always been average. He’s always looking to make a buck, and every opportunity he gets he wants to get something out of it.

His biggest fear is remaining stuck in the same job, and he’s going to take any “opportunity” that promises to make him a quick extra buck. The more opportunities, the more likely he is to get lucky.

He’s a real go-getter and is determined to be rich. And yet, somehow he barely makes enough money every month. He’s sick and tired of working long hours, and is determined to STOP this. From now on he will make the “4-hour work week” a reality, work less, and make MORE.

So he jumps into online marketing. It looks promising, you can reach billions of people after all through the internet. And it’s easy. You sit behind a computer, no one sees you. You can be a nerd or a jerk, nobody cares.

What’s the fastest way to make money? Joe buys a book teaching him about the secrets of the dotcom era, learns about funnels, and finds a quick product he can dropship, and gets going. He follows the “secrets” to the letter. He meticulously spends time setting up offers and hooks, to trick his customers, and just get the money fast. After all, he deserves it.

He amps up the pressure, uses fake limited time countdown timers, guarantees, and everything it takes to score the sale. His focus is to PUSH as many people as possible to buy, and make him rich in the process.

But, despite following the advice of the gurus, he comes short. Not once, but time and time again. He can barely make enough to survive. He’s always fighting an uphill battle, always looking for the next niche, for the next biggest product, for the next shiny opportunity.

Joe is broke, frustrated, and determined to get money. He believes 100% that it is possible to get that money by convincing people to hand it to him. Afterall, it is possible to convince anyone to do anything, and that’s what he needs to learn. Even though he hasn’t learned it yet. Maybe the next guru will show him how.

On the other hand, here’s Andy: He Is Making A 6-Figure Income With Funnels (NOT referring to our @Andy Black lol, though I’m sure he is very successful with his funnels):

Andy used to work a job he hated. He used to be stuck with someone else designing his schedule and life. But not anymore. Andy ditched the script, and at first he was just like Joe.

He tried screwing people over and grabbing their money. But soon he reached a breaking point. He was fast running out of money, and would have to get a job again. In desperation, Andy realised that it was his own mindset that was holding him back.

He realised, that he was operating based on false assumptions. For example, he assumed that it was possible to TRICK people to give you their money. That you could convince people to do anything. But that was clearly false. It wasn’t working out for him.

So Andy decides to change his approach. He would no longer go after the fast buck. He would no longer use all the tactics that the gurus gave him, trying to trick as many people as possible for a buck.

Instead he realised that the only way to make money is to have other people give it to you. And other people, unless you rob them or force them to do otherwise, will only give it to you if you’re providing something that they VALUE, and if they TRUST you.

So based on his new mindset, Andy got to work. Instead of just PUSHING a product out there, Andy reached out to his market and uncovered a real problem.

Instead of asking to get paid right away, or using a lead magnet as a bait, he created a lead magnet that actually solved a pressing problem for his customers. Then he gave it away for free, and started running traffic to it.

Instead of amping up the PRESSURE to get the sale using the tactics he learned from the dotcom experts (limited time discounts, countdown timers, and all the rest), Andy focused on being upfront, honest and helpful to his prospects.

He focused on advising his clients instead. If they were better off without his service, he told them. He sent them to his competitors instead. He did whatever was in the best interest of his prospects, putting their interests ahead of his own. Every. Single. Time.

And they started to trust him. It wasn’t long before Andy uncovered more pain-points and started delivering solutions for them. People started buying, and lo and behold that Andy was now making MORE than a full time income with his funnel…

The Mindset Shift From Joe to Andy Is a PREREQUISITE To Succeed With Funnels

Conclusion:
Be like Andy, not like Joe, if you want to succeed with funnels. This is a prerequisite to avoid the mistakes we mentioned above. Without this mindset shift, no amount of knowledge will help or save you. Not even this course.

Sales Funnels Are Alive

Because many people confuse sales funnels with the stuff that is built with Clickfunnels, and the stuff famous gurus teach you about, they think that sales funnels are passé. It used to be possible to make money with funnels, but not anymore.

Well, that’s not ENTIRELY true. Yes, it’s no longer possible to do a product launch funnel, and push people to buy through influencers, JVs, and high-pressure tactics like fake scarcity.

Yet, that’s not all that funnels are about. If you have a proper understanding of funnels, with the correct “Andy” Mindset, it is possible to make 6, 7 or even 8-figures and beyond.

How Far Can Sales Funnels Take You?

Pretty much as far as you want to go. Sales funnels are key whether you want to build a lifestyle “4-hour a week” business or a mega successful Fastlane business. They govern the mathematical principles that are behind your sales success, and an understanding of funnels shows you how you can actually improve your numbers and reach your goals.

In The Short Term (<3 months)

A better understanding of sales funnels will help you uncover areas of your business that you could improve to take your income to the next level. You’ll be better able to identify the limiting factors in your growth and identify strategies that could allow you to tackle them.

If you don’t yet have a business, a better understanding of sales funnels will help you see opportunities everywhere. You’ll discover new gaps in the market and ways that you can use to add value to fill them. And you’ll be able to start building a REAL, MARKET-BASED business around them.

It could even be the start of your Fastlane business.

In The Medium Term (6 months – 1 year)

You’ll be growing your income and perfecting your sales funnel using your newfound knowledge. You’ll be getting better results than you ever thought possible before, and you’ll have more ideas about growing your business than you ever had before.

You will start feeling confident that you understand the bedrock principles that determine everything else, and you will be well on your way to becoming the best in your chosen field.

In The Long Run (we’re all dead… just kidding – 1 year ++)

You’ll be able to make a very nice income, operating the kind of business system that is right for you. Some people may be satisfied with a lifestyle business that maximises their time, others will want to make the big bucks.

Regardless of what you want, you can get there with a solid understanding of sales funnels.

And here’s how…

Here’s How You Can Use Sales Funnels To Grow Your Sales & Fuel Your Business
Introducing Funnelosophy: The Science of Building High-Converting Sales Funnels

Inside my agency, we have been perfecting what we call “funnelosophy” or rather the science of building high-converting funnels. As you saw from the above, funnels are complex systems. Even basic funnels, like the simple funnel a freelancer has is difficult to get your head around.

You don’t know how one change can affect the rest of the funnel. Luckily, we have discovered two foundational principles that can help you determine what you should do to perfect ALL parts of your funnel.

They are presented in full detail in my course.

But, basically, they are the Principle of Value & The Principle of Trust.

This forum has already been introduced to the Principle of Trust in this mega successful thread with 70+ likes here: You WON'T Make BIG MONEY Until You Understand This... Even If You're Providing Value

Succinctly put, The Principle of Value states that transactions only take place when prospects are aware of a problem, its painful consequences and a real solution to the problem.

The Principle of Trust
states that if the prospect is aware of a problem and its consequences and is presented with a solution, then they will actually buy only if they TRUST that the solution presented will cure the pain and provide enough benefits to outweigh the pain associated with the solution itself.

The difference between successful funnels and unsuccessful ones can be found in how they treat the two principles. Funnels that use both principles make a lot of money, and those that ignore one, or God forbid, both, make little or no money.

And the difference can be HUGE. Just a tiny shift can cause drastically different results.

By taking BOTH principles into consideration when you decide what changes to make to your funnel, you will be guided towards making those changes which lead to better returns for both yourself and your clients.

The more value you offer your clients, the more value they will offer you in terms of money paid. Improving your sales funnel is improving the value you’re offering your customers and the trust you’re building with them.

Start Dominating Your Competition

As you improve your knowledge of funnels, you’ll also understand how to use your funnel as a weapon to crush your competition and dominate your industry. And I’m not kidding, that’s what you can actually do.

And here’s how. Once you have a solid knowledge of sales funnels, you’ll understand that your funnel’s frontend can operate at breakeven, or even at a loss. Your goal will be to onboard as many clients as possible, even if you’re losing money on them initially.

This is another principle you’ll learn about in the course. It is the 80/20 principle as applied to funnels. It states that 80% of your revenue will come from the bottom 20% of your funnel.

So acquiring customers at breakeven or even at a loss is entirely possible for you. Your competitors will not understand how it’s possible for you to pay 2x what they’re paying to acquire a single customer.

And the secret lies in Pareto’s Principle! By using it, you will be able to outcompete your competitors when it comes to acquiring customers which will result in your dominant position.

That’s what happens when you build sales funnels around the Principles of Funnelosophy. You crush the competition, delight your customers, and dominate your industry.

You can find more about our Direct Response Newsletter here (link also includes a 14-day trial if you want to get JUST the newsletter and not the full course).

(NEW!) Get Instant Access To Ask Me Anything via Skype or Email
If you get stuck along the way, you always have the possibility to email me or Skype me to ask any questions that you may have. This helps you make sure that you’re going in the right direction, and you can solve your own unique problems with answers that are tailored to you. If you ever feel stuck, you can just ask right away. I try to answer all questions as a priority, usually within less than 24 hours, depending on my schedule.

(NEW!) 60-Day, No Questions Asked, 100% Money-Back Guarantee
The only condition here is DO NOT submit your refund request in the first 7 days after purchase because it will be ignored. We’ve had 3 refund requests for the first version of the course (all three granted), and 2 out of 3 came from people who literarily just bought the course, and then asked for a refund in the next hour or so. It is literarily impossible to buy the course, and in a few hours determine that it’s not going to work for you. So, if you are a money-grabbing Joe, we DO NOT want you here. This guarantee is for people who have honestly bought and honestly don’t find it valuable, that’s why we have placed the 7 days limit before you can initiate your request. Another thing to keep in mind: PayPal has changed their refund policies on October 11th 2019, and we cannot and will not refund you the PayPal fees affiliated with your transaction. So you will get all your money back apart from the transaction fees (which are usually around 5%). We don't keep the transaction fees, PayPal does, so blame them.

Access to Lifetime Updates
This is the second update to the course, and we’re planning more in the future. So for any update that we make, you’ll get access to the future updates at no extra charge. The earlier you buy into the course, the more affordable it is, and the bigger the long-term benefits are. Our desire is to grow this course together with your help. Older members also get benefits that other members do NOT. For example, the buyers of the first version, not only get this update for free and everything in it, they also get LIFETIME FREE ACCESS to the newsletter. If you are one of the first time buyers who hasn’t claimed your lifetime access to the newsletter, then email me at office@tandacopywriting.com so that I can give you the link again!

Yeah, it's a common "funnel" page. I'm sick of seeing them..
for someone that hasn't seen it before, it might be interesting, but for someone who's seen dozens of them, it gets old :(
word of advice, if you're going to sell to business owners, don't look like every other business coach out there. why would I hire a "coach" that looks like everyone else? I'm not trying to look/be "everyone else" so I won't hire a coach that is "everyone else"
simple as that :)

Hey man. So how would you suggest that I bring my offer to market? I think that selling or marketing something is about being useful to other people. The way I've tried to do that is to get people who buy my course into the right mindset before they actually purchase, so they stand to make the most from their purchase. And the great thing about that imo is that you or anyone else can freely benefit from the knowledge shared above even without buying. You can get the mindset shift that I'm talking about, you can learn about the big picture when it comes to building funnels and everything else. I even give the introduction to the course manual for FREE so you see what you'll get inside before buying. So far 7 people have downloaded it, and they can all confirm that I don't even have any emails following up. There really is no pressure here. I just have something that I think can be AMAZINGLY valuable for some people. That's all. You can look at the free stuff, and if you want to learn more, then go ahead and purchase - the knowledge can all be yours with just 1-click.

As I made very clear, I think funnels are about building trust and delivering value. That's what I've tried to do. If I failed you, then I am sorry, I will just ask if you can tell me how to do better next time?

reminds me of russell's sales funnel to give you information/teach you get you to buy the rest of his funnel information as an up-sell :)
Except that there really are no upsells in my course. I do recommend a paid software to help with email marketing and landing pages since that's the fastest way to get it done that gives the most flexibility, but, if you want extra hustle you can also get it done for free, and I can tell you how. So this really isn't a "buy this to listen to a sales pitch" kind of course.

And my point here is not to be a guru. Quite the opposite. I'm not telling you to buy my course so that you'll have millions raining on your head the next day, and therefore you ought to pay me some outrageous sum. My course is about giving you a sales and marketing EDUCATION - it's up to you to apply it and get the results. And what am I asking for in exchange for all this? less than $100 bucks... really! And that makes me a guru?

I'll make you a challenge... you try getting this knowledge for less, I promise that you won't be able to. I mean you won't even be able to find all the stuff I show you inside elsewhere, but even forgetting that for a moment and assuming you could find it elsewhere... you still would not be able to get it cheaper... I can promise you that.

Out of curiosity, have you read my entire post?

woah, calm down :)

Yeah, read the post (and re-read it) and I still think it's a sales funnel, teaching you how to make and sell through click funnels by buying a "course".

If it works for you, that's great.

I'm just sharing my $.02 and that I'm turned off by these courses as too many people are out there to rip people off, so much so that I've become turned off automatically by these funnels.

Looking at Russell's funnel (clickfunnels) ClickFunnels™ - Marketing Funnels Made Easy I see that the comparison is nothing like it used to be, they've upgraded their funnels to stay ahead of the times.

I did look up your other posts, and found a good quote:

Good effort but when copy reaches a certain level of badness, it's difficult to critique, since everything is bad. I think this is one such case, sorry to say. If I get that, your believability is ZERO, because you are obviously exaggerating. ZERO believability = ZERO trust = ZERO sales.

Try to make it more believable. If you had to convince your friends to buy one of those clothing items, how would you speak to them? Write that. No exaggeration, no gimmicks - just what a prospect needs to hear.

That's just my opinion, or $.02, if it works for you then great :)

You asked for advice, and that is a very good point, I'd probably look at Andy Black's way of doing things, which is, why does this not create sales? and move from there. Obviously, you are probably doing that and it's (most likely) working for you, however, there is a market (me) that does not feel like the value proposition is high enough ATM to warrant even the $12.99 to buy the smaller e-book, but I might do that if I'd be looking to hire people from upwork or other places like that.

Cheers! :)

@Lyinx lol man, okay. Just to make it clear to everyone else, I'm not involved with Clickfunnels, Russell or any of that. I think Clickfunnels is not the best product, and never recommended it, nor am an affiliate (nor do I use it, except for when my clients ask me).

And I really am not sure how you got the idea that I am " teaching you how to make and sell through click funnels by buying a 'course'". I teach you higher level stuff, not how to use a software. What I teach inside is valid regardless of what software you use to build your funnel.

Maybe if you grabbed the free intro you'd get a better idea...

You know, this is a "Marketplace" Thread. Completely appropriate to offer goods and services that other members have to offer. Sales funnel or not, like it or not, you have no right to complain about it because the thread is not misplaced. You ought to expect to be sold to in the marketplace forum.

So.... A sales funnel to teach me how to build a sales funnel.... Lol

Such bullshit.

Reminds me of the guys who get rich ONLY by teaching others how to get rich.

How about some evidence that YOU actually have successfully launched a 6 or 7 figure product of your own?

Or at least a sliver of evidence that you have even 1 client who had a 7 figure launch using your funnel?

Or maybe you should just be honest and tell us which course you bought and then copied.

How about that?

Just skimmed this and then clicked on the link. The only thing missing is a free set of steak knives if you buy now. Not sure how we ever approved this, but would love to hear from some million dollar funnel students with links. There’s a money back guarantee if you didn’t get $1 million funnel built for your $99 course.

and anybody that’s just stumbling upon this now… You better hurry up because you only have five days left apparently.

Actually I’m wrong. The indicator is an eight figure funnel.

“With a high-converting sales funnel you can reach 6, 7 or even 8-figures in sales in.”

(^free tip... that’s not a complete sentence. Fix your copywriting. I didn’t read the entire funnel but if you want me to proofread it I am available for 99 bucks.)

You should buy this $99 course with an eight figure objective. Then pick out your Lambo and get started.

I was busy working with my team earlier today, when I received an email on my Apple Watch. It was from you, in my thread. I was ecstatic! I could not wait to get some free time to come in here and respond.

Firstly, to everyone who does not know who @GlobalWealth is, they are the "heterosexual life partner" of @Kung Fu Steve , whose "100% certainty, double your business in 12 months" marketing methods we were discussing before in his own marketplace thread.

(Here's where the heterosexual life partner is coming from, and that's not out of a hole of any kind...)
I could tell you all about my years as a martial arts coach, how I built world champions, how I built my school, how I got into business with my heterosexual life partner (@GlobalWealth), or even my consulting practice…
@GlobalWealth came to this thread with very clear intentions... To take revenge for the loss of the boyfriend's vacation fund.

Can you imagine? Steve's friends felt so bad that they actually joined themselves. They will be the only attendants, except that I am actually thinking to join too. I mean $97 is nothing to me. Just because you bumped up this thread @GlobalWealth I will make 10 times the entrance price. I have to thank you for that, because actually my last sale from the fastlane forum was 1 month ago! Everybody had all but forgotten about this thread, it took you to remind them :)

And if I sign up I will get great joy out of it, because now Steve's friends will actually have to show up and learn these 100% certainty, failure proof marketing methods live. I will be there with my notebook, keeping count of them. So be careful Steve... you may want to take out that purchase button. Any moment I can click it, and then your friends will really be in trouble.

How about some evidence that YOU actually have successfully launched a 6 or 7 figure product of your own?
Of my own? I don't do that @GlobalWealth. We are a marketing agency, we do it for other people :)

Or at least a sliver of evidence that you have even 1 client who had a 7 figure launch using your funnel?
I will be very happy to give you all the evidence you want when you request that your boyfriend give us evidence for his 7-figure businesses, and all his other claims. Fair enough?

For everyone else, (some) results are posted on the sales page, including stats :)

And now because @GlobalWealth is here, apart from the entertainment of reading this, you have an alternative. You can spend $97 on the boyfriend's vacation fund and the "100% certainty, double your business in 12 months" deal, or you can purchase a real course, where the success rate is just 17% (25% if you count just the people I've spoken to), which teaches you the reality of business and how to make money using sales funnels. In fact, in my course I even tell you that most of you are going to fail. And it's true. But then what do you want? 100% delusion or the truth and a fun ride full of expert skills and real knowledge?

Most students who have bought have not earned 6 or 7-figures. But I've only had 3 who asked for refunds. And guess why? Because everyone knows that the KNOWLEDGE in there is the best there is. And the failures aren't due to lack of knowledge - as Derek Sivers said, if knowledge was the missing ingredient we'd all be billionaires with six packs.

Anyway, only one of the refunds was from the fastlane forum, and let me tell you about them. They had a business where they put people's photo on a potato and shipped it to their homes - no joke about that. And they bought, and then 3 hours later or so, they said they know most of the stuff, and they want me to give their money back. So I gave the money back, and even paid the PayPal fees out of my own pocket, because hey, with a potato face business, you will certainly need all the cash you can get!

Or maybe you should just be honest and tell us which course you bought and then copied.

How about that?
Is Steve still beating you? Because I can't be honest and tell you I've bought a course, when I never bought any course on sales funnels in my entire life. I tell you what. You are a rich person. So what is $97 to you? Come on, you should throw with $97 left and right. Are you going to let money be your master? What are you, a pauper? Just buy the course, then at least you will have the added credibility of being a buyer. Imagine what you will say... "Oh I bought it, and it was so shit, 100% plagiarised, I immediately asked for my money back". Do it. Then you will know if it's copied with first-hand knowledge. You will be able to tell that to everyone here, with certainty. You will even tell us where it's copied from. And do not be worried if you're not as rich as you say... I will give you your money back so that you can add it to the vacation fund... or do you want me to finance your vacation first, then you can buy it? And hey, even if I don't give you your money back - that is all the more reason to come back here!

You know, if your boyfriend copied Jay Abraham it doesn't mean we all use the same tactics. Most of the strategies in this course are UNIQUE. General-Specific Rule of A/B Testing, Hero's Journey Email Campaign, Golden Rule of PPC Advertising, and I could go ON AND ON AND ON :rofl:

Real classy of you to give out someones business information that asked for a refund from you. I am sure this alone will get you tons of new clients from this forum. Just in case anyone was actually thinking about using this service, perhaps this alone will caution you against making that mistake.

I wonder why you don't have anyone in here saying what great service you provide? If you actually had customers from the forum I would imagine at least 1 would post something positive.

I have made quite a bunch of sales in the forum. There are people who posted positive comments in my previous thread, then there are positive comments and endorsements scattered around in Sell Me Saturdays like this one, and then there are positive comments on other forums too, like Warrior Forum. This is the second version of the course, mind you. That, plus all the testimonials that I have received via email from people. A video testimonial from a recent 2 comma club member is also on its way.

Although, with such an atmosphere created by the forum's lead members (not referring to MJ DeMarco here, he is the only one who had a sensible attitude imo), it doesn't surprise me that people are afraid to come up and say something.

Give out their business info? Where did I give that? I don't see a website anywhere. I don't see a name anywhere. Honestly mate, you should study business and law perhaps so that you start understanding what "business information" refers to. Are you able to identify anyone based on the info I "gave away"?

I only gave away a worthless business idea. And do not be worried, he was probably not smart enough to come up with the idea himself (and yes, I gave his money back, including paying the PayPal fees for him out of my own pocket, but my respect for him is 0. I really think he was an idiot. And that's based on the questions he was asking me, and how he proceeded through the entire conversation. He probably failed big time). I've seen the idea before, like for example on this blog. And what this thread and Steve's thread go to show is that there's a lot of empty air in a lot of these people. They make ridiculous claims, that the evidence doesn't back up at all. And then they get away with it, because people like you don't want to practice some discernment, and just follow the crowd. If you really want to find out, go ahead - buy the course. If you don't like it, you can ask for your money back - you've got 60 days to do that. Honestly. It's as simple as that. What do you stand to lose?

Give out their business info? Where did I give that? I don't see a website anywhere. I don't see a name anywhere. Honestly mate, you should study business and law perhaps so that you start understanding what "business information" refers to. Are you able to identify anyone based on the info I "gave away"?

If the amount of information you posted is worthless post this amount of information for every single one of your current clients...

Well, this thread's a shit show...

I paid the $97 bucks. Hey, I'm at the point right now when I need info and I need it fast (preferably not b.s. lol).

I asked questions and got responses from this guy. I read a lot of content and gained a lot of value from him. Either I'm a stupid naive kid (wouldn't be surprised by that again...), or this guy has some value to offer.

I'll go through his ebook for all of you skeptical guys on tight budgets.

If it's complete bullshit I'll call him out. Either way, he's not my relative, but just some stranger who's trying to convince me he has value to add to my life.

We'll see.

Wow what an awesome comment! Thank you for taking your time to assess this and post back about it, Im sure it will help a lot of other people :)

As for the negative people - the two or three here are just upset because I called out their friend in a marketplace offer, so they thought to take revenge lol :) (I am sure they do not mean the stuff they say)

Let me know when you want to do the free consult, we can use it to go over your copy and fix any remaining elements of your funnel!

I encourage you to read very carefully through section 1 (especially getting super clear on your buyer persona), the end of section 2 (about lead magnets), section 3 (most important one), section 4 (driving traffic - you may want to test your offer organically first - look at the section on forum marketing, and then try finding FB/reddit groups where your niche hangs and market there), and section 5 (email / building a relationship). This is key - in some niches up to 90% of sales happen on the backend due to the relationship built via email!

BIG NEWS!

The first video testimonial from a 2 Comma Club Member (if you don't know what that is, it is a club formed of people who have verified earnings of $1,000,000 or more via Clickfunnels) who was a student of the course is in!

See it here!

More video testimonials are piling in, and as they come the price will be increasing. I am seeing a LOT of success in some of our best students. I recently discovered that 2 other people who have taken the course have joined the high 6-figure ranks with their funnels.

At the moment the price is bumped to $147.

So if you want to join us, it's better if you do it early. That's what the smart people do, and that's why they get better deals. The more social proof and verification and certainty is added, the more expensive the course becomes. Of course! Only early adopters get the best deals.

People who take a leap of faith get the best rewards, and the laggards they pay a lot more!

If you had bought the first version of the course, back when it was just $47, you would have paid a fraction of the price for all this value.

But alas, all is not lost. The price is only going up!

So if you still want a deal, stop hesitating, and grab it now... this is still a GREAT price, and one of the BEST deals you will ever find.

Click this link to learn all about it and purchase.

I paid $97. I read the book.

Here is my review.

YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS.

Why?

I don't know what the shit show was really about. Whether it's already experience people in direct response + funnels who don't need to learn anything new or just pure skeptics here on the forum.

What ever the reason was, I don't really care.

Why?

Because at $97 this 137 page eBook is jam packed with so much juicy content that it's leaking all over my computer. I'm being honest here. At first I was a little skeptical...

The book covers a lot of ground. It's not only about funnels. It can't be. Simply because you won't be able to sell anything at all. It starts off with direct response principles. It dives into market research. It shows you what to do and what not to do. It then explains the different funnel types in depth. It goes over email marketing so deep I couldn't even finish it for a long time. On top of that it provides you with 9 different templates to follow through along the book.

I honestly believe it's worthy every single penny.

Here is how I used it:

I'm a noob. A pure beginner. The only thing I knew about funnels was how to pour water into narrow bottles without spilling it (fine, I'm joking here), but I really didn't know much at all and that's the reason why I bought it. To learn as much as possible, as fast as possible, and learn the right information that's accurate, concise and up to date.

I started off and realized that it was heavy on direct response. I mean how else are you going to sell anything to anyone? So I paused and jumped into learning about it. I Read the Boron Letters. I dived deep into Cashvertising and watched summaries of all other direct response books. By the time I came back I was already equipped with so much new knowledge. At this point I realized that the book is a very convenient summary of the most important direct response elements.

I continued and reading and got through the remaining parts. Every time I didn't really understand something in depth. I would stop reading and go dive deep into that topic. No book will ever know or care where you are at the current stage in your education. It's a guideline that helps you go from point A to point B. It's your job to use it as you deem.

It took me a while to get to the end and I don't regret a single bit.

You have to understand that these are people who know their craft. They're skilled at it. They want to share the right information in the most concise fashion possible.

Just like Andy's course on Google Ads, I bought this book to get up to speed fast. And it met my expectations 100%.

If you are hesitant to invest $100+ in your education to get relevant, accurate and up to date information in the shortest time possible from proven experts, well, what can I say? It's your choice and it's definitely not mine.

Tudor, I'd like to thank you for providing this information and taking a shit ton of time to put it together. I will keep the book and I will definitely reference it many many times more.

Thank you.
