Day 26: How To Start Thinking Like a Marketer

Day 26

This 30-day series is a roadmap for you to create an online business by following the training in the One Funnel Away (OFA) Challenge from Russell Brunson and ClickFunnels. Make sure you are watching the training videos, and following Russell’s instructions. Use these pages to stay on track with the activities.

A little over 26 days ago, when you began this series, I pointed out that OFA is a comprehensive framework teaching you how to use sales funnels to start (or support) an online business.

A framework is your How-To. The structure within another goal. And for OFA, one that is repeatable.

You can take this information and use it again and again for different ideas. You can…and probably should…change, tweak and rewrite the funnel you created in OFA to ensure you are maximizing your opportunity to attract your dream customers.

And you continue to learn.

Continuous Learning

The OFA process takes time to absorb. The concepts may be unfamiliar, and even confusing. But looking at the materials, grasping the big ideas, and most importantly…implementing what you learn will give you the opportunity to transform the investment into a viable business.

This path for reaching your business goal is one of the best you can follow. As long as you go through each step, stop to complete the work, and then get right back in to it, you will reach your goals.

Creating your business requires perseverance.

You have to be willing to do the work, until you are successful. Always try again. There is only success or learning, so keep going.

Having a map to follow definitely helps you understand what to do first, in the middle, and at the end.

If your funnel does not work – because your hook, story or offer does not work – all you need to do is make changes, and keep trying.

The successful people in the online business game tried multiple ideas to get just one that worked. You only need one. You are only one funnel away. You don’t know which one it will be. But you will never find out unless you get started.

A word about costs…you can spend a little or a lot of money at different steps in the OFA process. For example, if you want to make a professional video and hire someone to film you, that’s going to cost you money. But if you use the tools you already have, like a smartphone and free software, you will spend nothing. So the costs are all estimates, based on the amount you would actually have to spend to finish OFA.
Using Click Funnels

OFA is built around using the ClickFunnels software to create your sales funnel. Technically, you can use any webpage software and link the pages together. But ClickFunnels is the only software that lets you manage all the pages together in one view.

The software also links the personal data that you gather from your customers. So if a sale is made on one page, the details link through to the next page…and so on. There are also other features that make it easy for customers to buy at a later date, without re-entering their information.

You can begin using ClickFunnels with a 14-day free trial.

If you created your ClickFunnels account on Day 9, you have now passed 14 days, and will be billed for your first month – or you can pay an annual rate and obtain a two-month discount.
