How to create outlook signature

Are you using a regular website with the hopes that it will result in a bunch of sales for your product or service? Have you been hearing about funnels but have been hesitant about building your own? In this video I'm gonna share five reasons to replace your standard website with a sales funnel. So let's do it! My name is Leslie Samuel from becomeablogger.com where I help people build their businesses with blogs. Now I've helped a number of my clients build their own sales funnels and result of doing that for most, if not all of them, was that it increased their sales. Now if you knew about a way to make more money consistently - would you do it? Of course! So what is a sales funnel? I'm glad you asked. Sales funnel is where you basically describe the journey that you're leading your customer down from just being aware of who you are, all the way to buying your stuff. And if you're selling online you want to make sure that you have a sales funnel. Now what I'm gonna be using to show you this stuff is GetResponse new AutoFunnel feature. It's a great and ridiculously easy way to create sales funnels without having to tie together a bunch of different services. So if you haven't checked them out as yet I highly recommend for you to click on the link in the description below to find out more. Now let me get to those five reasons right now. Reason #1 - it gives you a process - a process for selling your stuff. There are too many people with websites that just hope that people will jump directly from their website to buying their stuff but if you don't have a process for selling it, it ain't gonna happen Cap'n. Now I'm in my AutoFunnel section of my GetResponse account right now and I'm looking at a funnel for a blog success course that I created. As you can see it has everything here from a signup page to get to a free ebook and a series of emails that leads to a sales page for my blogging success course. And what you can see here is that it tracks everything. Now this is a funnel that I just set up. So it doesn't show any data but by creating this funnel I now have a process where I can send people to get my free guide, a free ebook and have them go through this funnel to make some sales. And that is powerful! Okay let's move on to reason number #2 - it helps to build trust. There are so many websites online now selling stuff. I mean you already know that, right? And there are so many scammers out there as well. How do I know that your random website is trustworthy? How do I know that if I spend money with you I'm actually gonna get what I'm looking for? Well if you have a funnel and you craft it well there's gonna be a very low barrier step that I can take. Let's look at an example. I like Caribbean food, I mean I'm from Saint Martin. I think it's actually like illegal for me to not like Caribbean food. So as a law-abiding Caribbean citizen maybe I'm looking for a cookbook, a Caribbean cookbook. And I stumble onto your blog, I see you have a bunch of recipes on there. They look good but I'm unsure about you know buying that forty seven dollar cookbook that you have for sale. But I also see that you have this free gift of your top five recipes. So in an attempt to stay true to my Caribbean roots and to impress my wife I download them and I try one out and my wife man she is impressed. Then you send me a series of emails with such valuable tips that after using them my wife thinks that I'm the best Caribbean chef in the world. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little but you get the point. Now guess wha - If your next email tells me about that forty seven dollar cookbook that's gonna turn me into a Caribbean cooking King , I now trust you. And I'm going all in. Your funnel help you to build trust and now you've got yourself a new customer. All righty, Reason #3 and this is where it gets exciting, funnels can be automated. Did you hear that? They can be automated! This means that once you create a funnel you can have it run over and over and over just like the Energizer Bunny. But this bunny is gonna make you some money. Okay let's get to reason #4. The effectiveness can be measured. Now this is huge! Let's do some simple math: let's say you get a hundred people to go down your funnel and out of that hundred people, ten people buy your twenty seven dollar product. How much money did you just make? Two hundred and seventy dollars. Right? All right let's say that of that ten people, one person buys your ninety seven dollar product. All of a sudden you just made three hundred and sixty seven bucks from those hundred people. Now you know exactly how effective your funnel is and you even know that each subscriber is free subscriber is worth three dollars and sixty seven cents and because you know that you know that you can spend up to three dollars and sixty six cents to get a subscriber and still make a profit. I mean it would be a crappy profit if you spent that much but you get the point. Now you have a tool for measuring the effectiveness of your funnel and as a result it can help you to make better business decisions. Okay last reason - reason number #5. It's easy to determine where there's a problem. Let's say you built out this funnel and you have a series of you know these three emails. Well I can come here and click on "manage all emails". Once there I can see all of those three emails. Now this is just a demo funnel, so you don't see actual numbers but check this out. You can see delivery opens and click rates on all of these. Now if you notice that your sales are lower and you check here and you see that the open rates for this sales email is very low - that's a problem. But the good news is that you know where the problem is and you can start testing out different solutions to solve that problem. You can try a different subject line and see if that makes a difference and that is very powerful. That kind of testing can result in tons of extra sales if you have a funnel and are paying attention to the numbers. So as you can see having a sales funnel has lots of benefits and if you haven't built out yours as yet, I want to encourage you to do just that - build out your sales funnel that you can use over and over in your business and if you want a quick and easy one-stop shop to make it all happen make sure to check out the new AutoFunnel feature from GetResponse.
