135: The ULTIMATE Online Course Funnel


Listen Later

When I first started my online course business, I didn’t even really know what a “funnel” was. Sales funnels can be confusing, even for people who are a bit savvier than I was back then! And that’s why David and I are doing a deep-dive into the why and what of funnels – plus how I’ve set mine up to drive sales for my online piano course.

"The importance of a funnel is really building a rapport and a relationship with your prospective customer."

- Jacques Hopkins
