So, sales funnels are pretty awesome right?
But how do you build one? Where do you start?
To be honest with you, while WordPress is pretty good for blogging and simple websites, it’s not really designed for sales funnels. For starters, you’ll need to register for different services (email autoresponders, shopping carts etc.) and install many different plug-ins to integrate these services with your WordPress website, just to make your first sales funnel FUNCTION…
And if you are not technical, you’ll probably end up spending lots of time trouble-shooting, because not all plug-ins will work with your WordPress theme…
But don’t despair! You can actually BYPASS all the hosting, WordPress, email autoresponder, shopping cart etc. to set up your first sales funnel. No coding or technical skills required!
