Becoming an Attraction Marketer – Add a Sales Funnel to Your Blog
Dr. Hale here talking about becoming an Attraction Marketer.. There are distinct stages or steps that you go through when you decide to become an Attraction Marketer. You can read the first posts in the series here: It is the Overview, the Formative Phase and the Building Phase posts here. BTW there was a section in the Formative Phase post about why I have divided the process into phases.
This is a continuation of the BUILDING PHASE (2 of 3)
PREREQUISITES
None of this is carved in stone, but as a budding Attraction Marketer, you should have something you are at least somewhat comfortable with before you move on to this step.
- Niche and Unique Selling Proposition established – By this time you should have a rough idea of your niche. We have talked about trying to talk to everyone and how it doesn’t work. You need to target a group that will resonate with your. We have also talked about starting with YOU. People don’t buy into a product or a company, they buy into you. If you don’t expose yourself – front and center – you make it very difficult for them.
- Home Base Built – While I didn’t dwell on options other than a blog in the earlier post, there certainly are some other options. However a blog is the cheapest and simplest for a solo entrepreneur to build and support.
The second part of Phase 2 – Adding a Sales Funnel to Your Blog
As I said in the Overview, for an emerging Attraction Marketer the basic decisions that must be made early on are very
similar to those that a person who is planning to open a store must make. The decision on what group to target has been made. The decision about how to get them interested in us has been made. We even have a storefront (a building). Now we need to add a Sales Funnel. If you don’t have a funnel, you can drive traffic to your site and people will read your material and maybe even comment. Then they leave. They have benefited (hopefully), but you have not.
The graphic gives a very brief overview of how classic Internet Marketing Sales Funnel’s works.
- You drive traffic – we’ll cover that in the next post in this series.
- You Offer your visitors something they REALLY want (your ethical bribe) and send them to s Squeeze page (or just an optin form in the sidebar of a page.)
- You trade your Ethical Bribe for their name and email address.
- You feed the name and address into an autoresponder
- You direct them to a Thank You page – this page often does more than just say “Thank You.” It is an ideal place for a One-Time-Offer (OTO)l You offer a low cost item to the person. It must be congruent with the free item.
- You send regular emails – most of the emails offer useful information. Every now and then you offer to sell them something you really think is worthwhile.
The overall concept is not difficult. Executing it is panache is something else again. 🙂
