How I Generated Over $4 Million in Sales Without Ads: A Guide to My Marketing Funnel
Last year, I achieved over $4 million in sales for my clients, and I did it all without running ads. No, this is not a scam. All of this success came from using a simple marketing funnel template. Allow me to share the details, so you can replicate this for your business.
My name is Danny Thebold, founder of Danny Digital, an organic marketing agency specializing in content, video creation, strategy, and online brand scaling. Here’s how you can steal my marketing funnel and achieve similar results.
Understanding the Marketing Funnel
Visualize your sales funnel as an upside-down triangle. At the top are people unfamiliar with your brand (cold audience). As they move down the funnel, they become more familiar and engaged until they reach the bottom, where they are ready to purchase.
Top of Funnel: Awareness
The top of the funnel is about attracting a cold audience. TikTok is perfect for this stage due to its ability to generate organic impressions. TikTok targets new followers through the For You Page (FYP), making it more effective than platforms like Instagram, which primarily targets your existing followers.
On TikTok, focus on creating engaging and valuable content that aligns with the interests of your target audience. For example, if you sell water bottles, create content around health tips, the importance of hydration, and common misconceptions about water intake. This way, you provide value and capture the interest of potential customers without being overly promotional.
Middle of Funnel: Engagement
Once you've attracted a cold audience on TikTok, the next step is to warm them up on Instagram. Link your Instagram account to your TikTok profile. Instagram excels at converting and nurturing a community. Use Instagram to share behind-the-scenes content, interact with followers through stories, polls, quizzes, and question boxes. This builds a deeper connection with your audience.
Patience is key here. It often takes multiple interactions (at least seven touchpoints) before a consumer considers purchasing. Use Instagram to experiment and showcase your brand's personality. Consistent engagement helps build trust and familiarity with your audience.
Bottom of Funnel: Conversion
At this stage, your audience is ready to make a purchase. Highlight clear call-to-actions (CTAs) in your Instagram bio and posts, directing followers to your website or shop. Offer incentives like newsletters, flash sales, VIP discounts, and staggered sales events to encourage conversions.
Books like "$100 Million Offers" by Alex Hormozi can provide additional insights into creating irresistible offers. Remember, your goal is to convert warm followers into paying customers by consistently highlighting the value and urgency of your offers.
Continuous Funnel Management
For a successful funnel, ensure all stages are active simultaneously. Regularly post on TikTok to attract new followers, engage your audience on Instagram, and maintain strong CTAs and incentives to drive sales. This creates a steady flow of customers moving through your funnel.
By visualizing a specific customer journey, like "Laura from Manchester," you can tailor your content to meet their needs and guide them through the funnel. This personalized approach can significantly increase your chances of converting prospects into loyal customers.
Long-Term Benefits
A well-structured funnel doesn't just bring immediate sales; it builds a loyal customer base. Retarget these customers with newsletters, special offers, and affiliate programs to maximize their lifetime value. Satisfied customers can become your brand ambassadors, recommending your products to others and driving further growth.
In conclusion, this marketing funnel has transformed my clients' businesses, taking them from small operations to thriving enterprises. By implementing and managing a similar funnel, you can achieve exponential growth and long-term success.
