Aweber First Lead Magnet Funnel Training

Here are a series of short videos and documents that go through creating a Funnel using Aweber. We are going to start by copying one of my Lead Magnet Funnels and make the changes needed to tailor it to become a funnel for your Lead Magnet. (There is also a document with Screenshots and descriptions for creating a Funnel that presents an Opportunity.)

WHY IS THE TOPIC OF USING AWEBER TO CREATE A LEAD MAGNET FUNNEL IMPORTANT? (It is all FREE)

There are three main reasons and they all center on the fact that this Lead Magnet Funnel is FREE to create and host..

1. This whole process is done with a FREE product. Aweber now has FREE accounts that are limited to a single list and 500 subscribers.
2. Funnels are an important part of Internet Marketers tool box. Clickfunnels is the industry standard and the smallest account is about $100/month. Aweber has added a section called Landing Pages. We are using this FREE tool to create a full funnel. We can create dozens of funnels for free if we stay within one niche.
3. Aweber hosts these page so you do not need a website for your funnels.

THE STEPS

In addition to adding Subscribers to your List, this funnel is designed to maximize the number of “Touches” you get with the Lead/Subscriber.

BONUS 3 – STRIPE – Selling from a Landing Page

One of the Elements in the Landing Page Editor is called eCommerce. THis element replaces the FORM element with a button and a pop-up that collects money using STRIPE. STRIPE is similar to PayPal. THe main difference is that your customer does not leave your page and go to pages that belong to the payment processor company. STRIPE will do the following:

• Asm for Credit Card information and process a payment.
• Collect an email address
• Send a receipt to the email address (If you activate that feature – which you should)
• Send the email address to Aweber and add it to the list where the Landing Page resides
• Forward the customer to a Web Page once they have completed a purchase.
• Send a TAG to Aweber along with the email address.

Here is a document that covers STRIPE and Aweber: STRIPE

Customized Link Shortener

If you would like your own URL instead of posting the Aweber link. You can sign up for a FREE account at short.io You will need to buy/lease a Domain Name from Namecheap.com or GoDaddy.com. I have a domain called Halemdc.com As an example, I can launch the First Lead Magnet funnel page with https://Halemdc.com/first-funnel
