I Tweaked My Funnel And Immediately Made More Money

When I started building this affiliate marketing funnel, I literally made the entire funnel in one single night. I did not overthink, I did not think much about what should be the headline, the copy, etc. Nothing!

I planned it out on a paper, started bulding the framework, and just went on writing whatever came to my mind (maybe I wasn't even serious about making this funnel live). Here's the plan that I made on paper

Basically, it's a slightly advanced affiliate marketing funnel. I'll explain the strategy for this funnel in different post, but let me just give you a brief idea (starting from left)...

I'll drive traffic from YouTube (because I like making videos) to an opt-in page, and from there to a course page. And there in the course page, I made a very small box where I briefly mentioned my affiliate offer. Only interested people would click the link and could be directed to another opt-in page. After submitting this button, they would be shown my bridge page where I explain my offer in detail.

Now the reason I kept 2 opt-ins was because I only wanted to send out my affiliate offers to people who were interested in that product. I sent followup emails about the affiliate offer only to the people who opted-in for the second time. That is because I believed that relevant offers be shown to people who are actually interested.

Well, this funnel was working, but it was giving me pretty slow results. Like around 1 conversion in approx 30-40 days.

Since it gave me very slow results, I decided to tweak the funnel and try a different one. Here is what I mapped out

This one is a much much much complex funnel than the previous one. Again, I'll explain you more about the psychology of this funnel some other day, but here's a brief summary (just focus on the top half)

There's an opt-in page, and as a traditional affiliate marketing funnel works, the visitors would be redirected to a thankyou page, where I will briefly mention my affiliate offer. And instead of directly sending them to the course, I decided to send the course details in the email (after a delay of 4-minutes just so they have a look at my offer). 
They receive the course details in the email, and again inside the course, I had a small post, but this time I skipped the second opt-in.

And mind you, I made this entire funnel in a single night, wrote 5-day email sequence, and all the rest of the stuff in just one night!

So let's talk about the results? 

This time, as soon as I made these changes to the funnel, within 4 days I made around ₹15,000!

I don't know it's just luck or if it's actually converting better, but I've seen that I'm getting more affiliate link clicks with my updated second funnel 🙂

So, as you saw, I don't overthink, I just do stuff. And I believe that's the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter what resources you have, it doesn't matter how much experienced you are, it doesn't matter what theme/hosting/software you use, and it doesn't matter if people will like it or not.

Just do. That's the only thing that matters.

Everybody starts somewhere. Even I had 0 subscribers one day.

But you can reach to level 10 only when you start playing the game at level 1.

I hope this post inspired you to start taking action. Don't be scared to do the work.
