WHAT ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A FUNNEL?

Hello everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with today’s tips on FUNNELS. Most people really have no idea what a funnel is or what to choose as your business niche.

Here are some tips I found while looking for my business adventure. First and foremost, please research your niche. Find out what is working by looking at others in that niche.

Here are my simple tips for building your funnel. You should have a Pre Frame Bridge- a piece of content that makes people more receptive to the message on your landing page, How to qualify subscribers, how to qualify buyers, Identify buyers on fire.

1) Elements: The building blocks of your funnel are called elements. Things that you can possibly put on your pages like, videos, headlines, even countdown clocks.

2) Pages: It’s a bunch of elements put together in a specific order with the intent to get people to take a certain action. Give You Their Name, email, and telephone.

3) Funnels: They are a series of pages that have a strategic order. Your goal is to help your lead/customer on their journey. Help them go from prospect, then customer, then client.

So what is your niche? Health and wellness, weight loss, selling ebooks, free ebooks, education, baby items, high ticket sales… I hope you see there are many niches.

Do you like quizzes, writing articles, presenting the news, writing blogs, making videos? All these can be put on your pages.

Elements are like the ingredients you would put in your cooking recipe. Each one by its self is incomplete, but put all together they make a whole meal.

Here are some Attention- Getting Headlines:

When writing your message, PLEASE keep your sentences and paragraphs short. When you want to make a point, you can use BOLD, underline, Or use italics.

Use a sense of mystery, keep your audience captivated. Use a sense of urgency. Make is so simple for the reader to follow and understand.

Make it where your BRIEF description gets them to “ask” more INFORMATION, PLEASE.

Here is my 2nd tip: Reverse squeeze page. Instead of curiosity, I make a video where I teach or train them on an explicit concept. Once the teaching is over, I invite them to opt-in on the form to get more information. Just for the record, I have not done a teaching as of this writing. I will create one so watch for it.

Have a THANK YOU page. I recommend a video of yourself, so people know who you are. This is branding of the best sort. People like knowing who they are talking to.

I hope this helps you to discover your adventurous side. Take action to research what will work best for you. Start today, you have nothing to lose.

DO YOU HAVE A MENTOR?

Hello Everyone Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is: Whom do you talk to that is helping your grow?

From helping you grow as a person, to help your business grow? I have found a great mentor in ROB GEHRING. I have known Rob for many years. He and I did business in the past.

When I decide to get serious with my online experience, Rob was there giving me tips and strategies. I would ask a question here and there.

Rob always responded kindly, yet challenged me to greater visions.

I try to do a weekly session with Rob. With over 21 years of full time Affiliate Marketing under his belt, he has valuable insight on what works and what doesn’t.

Rob is always coming up with new ways to help people. I take action and implement them ASAP. I’m beginning to see results which are super exciting.

Today he shared His A/B scripts with me. This is a role-playing scenario that helps you get out of your comfort zone.

One is for our primary business when talking to leads, the other is for those who are not quite sure about what business they want or need. Both help you engage with your leads.

It’s ok to have more than one mentor. I have two. The other is Janet Legere.

I love Janet’s simple approach to life, business, and friendships. Janet goes way beyond the boundaries of helping.

She helps you to think outside the box by pointing out certain details of your questions, then makes you figure out work will work for you while offering her expertise in the Affiliate Marketing Arena.

Both of my mentors have helped me grow. When I first started, I knew nothing about blogging. Now It’s one of my passions.

Learning marketing strategies, list building, correct ways to use viral mailers, recommendations on whom to use for solo ad providers, all the while making you feel that YOU can do it.

Being on the road full time as a driver definitely has its challenges. Some days I’m not able to get on the internet. I can make calls and text when I have time at least to stay in touch with my people.

I’m learning not to make excuses for my lack of time. We all have the same 24 hour period of time. What you do with it will tell in the end.

I had a challenging defining moment from Blain Jones-Co founder of Click Track Profit. He pointed out: your posts average less than 20CTP in earnings each. I would look at ways to earn a bit more with them.

There are plenty of people making 100+ CTP on their posts. Looking at your posts it looks like a lot of them are exaggerated calls to action. These kinds of posts don’t really get engagement or response. It would be more effective to tell your story than selling financial freedom that you have yet to achieve.

This is hard to swallow at first. I thought I was putting real thought to engaging questions for people to answer. I thought I was putting myself into my stories.

Creating new stories takes time and effort. How do you engage people to financial freedom? I have a lot more to learn, so begins a new chapter .

IS YOUR GREYHOUND IN THE RACE?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s topic is really about business, so follow along and ENJOY the read.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/greyhound/

So you decided to get a puppy. You did the research and found the one for you. You looked at the setters, spaniels, terriers, wolfhounds, chihuahuas, dachshunds. You had your heart set, so you bought the greyhound.

From the beginning you feed and watered the puppy. Exercised the puppy. When the puppy was a little older, you went for some training.

You took your puppy where he could run and before long you thought about racing your dog. Entrance fees, boarding fees, licenses were bought and the dog was registered with a proper name.

Does this sound like your BUSINESS? Yes, I hope you did your research. Found the one that was right for you. HINT: CLICK HERE for mine.

I hope you invested in yourself. Your entrance fee is the package level you decide to come in at. You can buy a domain name, but not everyone does.

All of the TRAINING comes with your core package. We have weekly training live so make sure you show up. Building your list daily.

Here is a small list of our great training: Sales Funnel Optimization, High Ticket Sales, Homerun Copywriters Course, 10k Blueprint, and Bitcoin Breakthrough, are just a few.

You exercise your business through solo ads (UDIMI), virial mailers, traffic exchanges, social media. Think about where people are hanging out asking questions about BUSINESS. Give them a helping hand, yes, be the GO TO guy or gal.

Now it’s race day. You are in the starting lane. The gates open and you take off like a flash. You give it all you got. You are running for the win.

YOU cross the finish line a winner, making your 1st of many sales. You begin to reinvest in yourself, buying solo ads on a monthly basis. Getting your co-op shares. Your commissions start coming in regularly. Before you know it you QUIT YOUR JOB, because you are making more money from home than your job.

Making the right decision NOW is the place to start. Don’t listen to the naysayers, just because they think they know you. Listen to your leaders who are where you want to be. If they can do it, THERE is hope, you can do it.

NEVER EVER GIVE UP OR LOOK BACK. Keep moving forward. The books you read now and the leaders you hang out with will determine where you will be in 5 years.

IS YOUR LIFE REALLY YOURS?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. The question above I have been asking myself for a period of time. This should be an easy question, the more I think about it the more complex it becomes.

I have a driving career, side hustle landscape jobs, then I have putting a lot of work into my AFFILIATE MARKETING.

I have great mentors, they inspire me to reach bigger and bigger goals.

Mention: https://www.pexels.com/search/helping/

For me, my goals are small and steady. Driving takes most of my time. I really have to push myself to put time into my business. It’s way too easy to say I’m tired, don’t have time, no advertising time and the list could go on and on.

I truly enjoy writing Michael The traveling Trucker Blog. Bringing value to people is very important to me.

What is holding you back? I find I really need more people on my LIST. I do have a good start but I need more influx of people. The process from solo ads or co-op shares must be steady and on going.

Social media, traffic exchanges, and viral mailers need to be incorporated daily.

Running a business takes time, money, and effort. We have to step out of our comfort zones. Make those calls, follow up those emails and texts.

If people don’t respond after a period of time, MOVE ON. There is someone who really wants to change their financial circumstances. Work with them.

What are some of your GOALS? How can you improve them? Do you have a daily routine?

Do you make time for learning for self improvement? What books do you read, videos do you watch and people you hang out with?

When you decide to make your life your own, take out all the stops. Don’t let anything stop you. You are your own person. Everything you will ever need is already inside of you, LET IT OUT.

When you don’t know something, PLEASE ask for help. We in this business are here to support and help each other.

A few hints: write out your daily, weekly , monthly and yearly plans of action. Yes these are called GOALS. Take time daily for marking off your plans of action. It will give you a sense of purpose, a warm feeling, and Hey I Got These Done.

HOW TO PLANT YOUR GARDEN

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Today’s adventure is ” How To Planet Your Garden”.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/harvesting/

When contemplating how much return you want from your harvest, you must look at how much seed are you going to plant? The more seed you plant the bigger the HARVEST.

Business is the same way. Planting as many seeds as possible is PARAMOUNT. What is your seed? LCP-Lead Capture Page. I personally use several different pages.

People don’t like seeing the same offer over and over. Be creative in your thinking process. Do tests to see what works best.

What is your offer? ANYONE?—– IT’S YOU. You are YOUR OFFER. If people don’t know you, do you really think they will buy from you? Brand yourself TO BE the go-to person. Let people know you can solve their problems.

Look at OUR leaders. Their success has come from years of building their lists, Watering those lists ( communicating) with people, and guiding them to the best offers. Putting more people on your list is the NUMBER 1 GOAL of any marketer, so be SMART. Add to YOUR list daily.

Top View of Green Field — Make Your Harvest Look Like This!

Smile For The Birdie

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. It’s time to smile for the birdie.

Making a video is easy, fun and let’s people know who you are.

Let me say this: Don’t over complicate this process. You can do as many as you like if you are not satisfied with the results.

No one will see them until you publish them. Go ahead now and create your 1st video. After you are done I know you will say to yourself, That wasn’t hard at all.

HOW TO DRAW STRENGTH FROM WITHIN?

Close your eyes, take a slow deep breath. Hold for 5 seconds. Now release slowly. Take your time to focus.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/universe/

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker. Learning to relax is not as easy as it sounds. We as a culture have way to many distractions.

Finding your quiet place can be challenging. I’m glad I have my BIG RIG. I can close the curtains from the outside world, sit on my bunk and get quiet before the LORD.

There is real POWER in PEACE. Being at peace with yourself and those around you should be a top priority. When you are angry, mad, upset, your thinking takes you on the negative roadway of destruction.

Repeat after me: I have confidence, I have conviction, I have courage. Today I take my stand to walk in peace, speak words of peace, and think peaceful things

I will open my tool box of motivation videos, books and pod casts. I can’t afford the negative, the price is too high and all I get is an upset stomach.

Never let fear get a hold of you. You are strong, you are powerful, and you have the UNIVERSE at your command. SPEAK WORDS OF LIFE.

Janet Legere wrote a book” Get Stuck On Happy” Click here to order your book.

I recommend : How to win friends and influence people, Dale Carnegie

Any book by Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Scott Reece. Chris Vaughn.

Let your spirit soar to the heavens. NOTHING is held back from you.

What you speak out loud will happen. Positive or negative.

Again I say” SPEAK WORDS OF LIFE”.

Put in all the time you can, when you can, as often as you can. Show up daily. Make the phone calls, send out the texts, broadcasts, emails. Set a certain amount of time for your follow-ups daily.

The more you put in, the more YOU will get out. Listen and follow the recommendations of your leaders. They really understand how to help you.

I love to help people. Seeing them grow. Watching them blossom and seeing their businesses make money is very satisfying ( making money for me is fun too).

We are here to make MONEY. Money is not a bad word. It’s a tool. Use your tool wisely, and it will pay you for years to come.
