5 – Top Tools for Building All Your Sales Funnels

Are you ready to start building out your sales funnels? There are just a few things you need before you can get started. Here are some of the most popular options when it comes to putting together both free and paid funnels.

 Email Marketing:  AWeber —probably the easiest email manager on the market today, AWeber is the choice for most small business owners, not only because it’s simple to use, but because it’s also economical. Starting at less than $20 per month for up to 500 subscribers, AWeber offers both autoresponders and broadcast emails, list automation, and segmenting.  You can send emails exactly when — and to whom — you want.

 Taking Payments:  PayPal—The simplest of all payment processors, PayPal allows you to take payments online for a very reasonable fee. It will also act as a simple shopping cart.  It is easy to integrate into your web pages too.

JVZOO — Integrates nicely with PayPal and gives you a good assortment of pay-now type buttons to integrate into your sales page.  Lots of options.  No cost.  Good to get familiar with as it gives you some credibility to be integrated with JVZOO.

 A way to create web pages. – A simple WordPress blog will fill this need, with a little bit of work.  This is my strongest recommendation.  You can spend a lot of money on Lead Capture Page builders like LeadPages.  Until you learn good copywriting skills, use your free WordPress blog to make your LCP’s.  Once you get good at creating good content and are making a good monthly income, then you can consider spending the extra money for LeadPages or other LCP creation programs.  You can create your sales pages, thank you pages, delivery pages and more with your WordPress blog.  I recommend you get it hosted at BlueHost for economy and reliability.

If you must buy a LCP builder: – I recommend you get a The Conversion Pros account.  It’s only $50/month and has an affiliate program that lets you break even with only 2 or 3 affiliates.  It also includes a nice autoresponder (not as good as Aweber), a contact manager, pre-made LCP templates, video backgrounds and a nice webinar platform.

Start small. Build the funnel framework as simply as you can, using tools that don’t cost a fortune. Once you have a few funnels up and running, you will be able to see where they can use improvement, and how the tools available to you can help make your funnels convert better and work more efficiently.
