The concept of the "funnel" has been used in sales for years. And it is quite possible that you've heard the idea of the sales funnel before. In this episode of CBB, I outline what I call the blog profit funnel.

This is the sales funnel adapted to what I believe is the best version of it for a blog-based online business.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The 3 key ways to grow any business
• How these 3 business growth strategies are built right into our funnel
• The key role of each of the 3 stages of the funnel
• Why a membership site is, in my opinion, an awesome business model. Especially for bloggers
• How these funnels fit into the blog

Today we are going to talk about what I call The Blog Profit Funnel. What we are basically going to be talking about here is the idea of a sales funnel. The reason I call it blog profit funnel is simply because the way that I put the system together is that it is very much integrated with the blog, which is something that not all marketers do. A lot of marketers run paid traffic and stuff; that stuff, we will be talking about as well. But being that we are talking about here is a blog centric business, I am basically just kind of adding a little naming tweak to the concept of the sales funnel because we are applying it to our blog.

So I want to be clear about that; it is called the blog profit funnel, at least in my world. I want to also say that what are we going to be doing in this episode is kind of giving a broad overview of that funnel. But we are not going to be getting in to all the details of it. And I am actually not going to spend a lot of time on every little nitty-gritty detail of it only because it is the stuff that I teach inside the Blog Monetization Lab.  So with that being said, let us go ahead and start talking a little bit here about this funnel.
