This is the last of the six core funnels. Thank you for reading all my posts! I hope by this point you have already tried ClickFunnels (please tell me you love it! Because I absolutely do!), but if you haven’t and want to have a play around, you can get a 14 day free trial here – no commitment!
So, on to Funnel #6: Network Marketing Bridge Funnel. This is a useful funnel to have if you sell affiliate products. But you might ask – why do you need a funnel for this? Can’t you just send traffic directly to the product page with your affiliate ID?
Of course you can. But you will miss out on the long term. While you’ll get a commission from purchases on the affiliate page, you’ll have no idea who bought the product. Which means that it’ll be very difficult for you to find this same person again when you sell other affiliate products. Therefore, to maximize the lifetime value of your leads, you’ll want to capture their email addresses and follow-up with email marketing. Don’t worry – this is super simple with this pre-built Network Marketing Bridge Funnel.
In a nutshell, it works like this: A simple lead capture page and a bridge page before you re-direct them to the affiliate product page (i.e. the corporate website).
Tip: I always “clone” my funnel templates instead of editing them directly (learn how to clone a funnel here). In case anything goes wrong, I can still start from scratch with the original one! But don’t worry – you can also get a fresh copy of the Network Marketing Bridge Funnel here.
First of all, your landing page. Capture your leads by offering them a freebie – a free report, a free video training – anything that is relevant to what you’re selling and what your leads might be interested in. The point is to capture email addresses for later on. Again, you can easily customize this template funnel in the drag-and-drop editor.
After they register, tell them where they can download the report/watch the video that you promised to offer. And remember to have a large call-to-action button to redirect your leads to the affiliate product page.
Easy, right? And for all the savvy affiliate marketers reading this post, another benefit of having a Network Marketing Bridge Funnel AND building it with ClickFunnels, is that when you join ClickFunnels you are automatically their affiliate. You can turn on the affiliate badge by default (just go to Account –> Account Settings and scroll to the bottom), and all your pages will then have a little icon at the bottom right with your affiliate link!
So we’ve now covered all six core funnels that come with ClickFunnels. Which one is your favourite?
