What Is ClickFunnels Exactly? And\nHow Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this humble blog post I’d like to explain in the simplest\nterms what ClickFunnels is and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels is a cloud-based marketing tool that allows\nSmall Business Owners and Entrepreneurs to build really cool looking marketing\npages, sales pages, and opt-in lead generation pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably more importantly is that ClickFunnels allows Business Owners to advertise and sell their products. So, if you have a business that sells products, or services, then ClickFunnels can help to setup cool marketing pages and business pages that are engineered to advertise and sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my humble and honest opinion, one of the best features of\nClickFunnels, is the ease of use. Long ago, during the “dark times”\nof early-internet-development (lol), and before the days of ClickFunnels and\nother page builders and content management systems, it was nearly impossible to\nbuild cool looking websites unless you were a total tech nerd!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even these days many IT nerds (I use that term in a complimentary\nfashion by the way) rely on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP to make nifty\nwebsites that are interactive, vibrant, and cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what happens if you don\u2019t want to spend your entire\nlife worry about how to use computer code, and setup confusing hosting accounts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels makes it easy for Business Owners to create and\nlaunch Sales Pages, Lead Capture Pages, Membership Pages, and other cool\nmarketing pages without having to be super technically savvy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Is ClickFunnels Really For? And\nHow Does It Work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the scariest things about all of this technology\nthese days, is that sometimes it can be frustrating not knowing how any of it\nworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can certainly be true for Entrepreneurs and Small\nBusiness Owners who want to sell and advertise their products online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face it. The idea of building a website capable of making\nand accepting sales can be hugely daunting, and frustrating, especially if you\nloathe the tech world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why ClickFunnels can be helpful for Entrepreneurs and\nSmall Business Owners who want to build marketing pages, sales pages, and sales\nfunnel pages, without any of the technical know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels is designed so that anybody can load a\nmarketing page template, and then easily customize it to match their business,\nproduct, or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Imagine A Scenario Where An\nAwesome Gourmet Cookie Chef Wanted To Sell Their Cookies Online, But Had No\nClue How To Build A Website!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even better, let’s pretend that you yourself are an epic and\nprolific executive cookie chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You create and bake the best cookies in your town, and\neveryone knows that your cookies rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have a plan to start expanding your business with online\nsales. You have a strong hunch that selling your cookies online can be a huge\nsuccess, and you know that the demand will be high because your cookies are the\nbest and you and your enterprise of gourmet cookies are the talk of the town and\nof your friends, colleagues, and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, there’s a huge problem. How the heck are you going to\nbuild a cool website that sells your cookies? You don’t have enough tech\nexperience, and you have no idea how you could accept orders, let alone setup a\nwebsite that looks good, is mobile friendly, and also secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s Why ClickFunnels Can Be\nReally Helpful. ClickFunnels Can Help To Setup Your Website, And To Help Sell\nYour Products Online Without Any Hardcore Tech Skills.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With ClickFunnels, you could set up a really cool landing\npage that sells your delicious and epic gourmet cookies. You could also set up\na full Sales Funnel, complete with upsells, and even cross promotions if you\nwant to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk more about what a Sales Funnel is, and more\nspecifically what an Upsell is and how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, let’s pretend that your customer buys one of\nyour products, let’s pretend it’s a batch of 5 of your delicious, and\nscrumptious Strawberry Gourmet Cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the customer adds the product to their cart, and\nchecks out, they are presented with an Upsell. An upsell is essentially a\nspecial, \u201cone time offer\u201d that your customer sees after they make an initial\npurchase. So let\u2019s pretend for your Upsell, you could present your awesome cookie\ncustomer with a chance to get a batch of 50 (FIFTY) awesome and delicious\nstrawberry cookies at a massive 25% discount. You’ll also throw in a box of\nyour brand-new delightful Blueberry Scones for all orders during the next 48\nhours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This deal is too good to be true! Your end user is chomping at the bit at the thought of your delicious cookies, and the thought of adding your Blueberry Scones to the mix is enough to tip the scales, and they upgrade their order!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do You Realize The Power Of\nBlueberry Scones? And Do You See How Upsells Work? They Rock!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, after your customers buy one of your initial cookie\ndeals, you can then showcase and promote a special deal. Maybe you could even\nhave more upsells if you wanted to? Or you could even put together cool holiday\nspecials for your wide variety of cookies and baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are all kinds of cool possibilities that you could\nbrainstorm and use for an upsell, and ClickFunnels is very flexible and you can\nbe quite creative with the different bundles, upsells, and offers that you can\ncreate and easily showcase to your customers and prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels makes it easy to use their \u201cdone for you\u201d Sales\nFunnel and Marketing Page Templates, so if you\u2019re stressed out because you\u2019re\nnot sure how the technical side of all of these pages work, then relax because\nit\u2019s all of ClickFunnels pages are simple to customize, simply by dragging and\ndropping to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So maybe you want to include even more Upsells, or maybe you\ncould promote some more of your favorite cookie selections on your customer’s\nconfirmation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels Doesn’t Just Help To\nMake Sales. It Can Also Do A Ton Of Other Handy Stuff.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ClickFunnels can help Small Business Owners to generate\nleads, to automate email content, to schedule email marketing content, and to\neven manage full affiliate programs for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that this document helped to answer any ClickFunnels questions\nthat you may have had!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post was designed to help instruct the novice marketer\nmore about ClickFunnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
