Now that you’ve got something to promote, you’re starting to see how much time it takes to reply to everyone.

What if you could automate the replies?

Wouldn’t that be amazing?

I went crazy a few years back when ManyChat first came out.

Well, actually, it was Facebook messenger automation that came out and ManyChat was just one of the options out there.

I lost my first page

Back in the day, I setup ManyChat to do exactly what I”m about to show you how to do and was able to get lots of subscribers and interaction with my posts.

I grew my page like crazy with new likes and new subscribers in ManyChat to get over 600 new subscribers in just 2 months.

But I lost my page because I didn’t focus my audience properly.

All those new subscribers were coming in because of the cryptocurrency craze I was in at the time.

So anyone in my audience before then that didn’t like cryptos, left my page or flagged my content…

Eventually making me...

It’s one thing to create funnel, but you also have to make it do things for you.

Creating a page where someone can enter an email is pretty useless if you have to manage those emails.

Well, maybe not useless, but once you start to grow, it becomes really hard to manage that.

Of course with my current pre-launch of my software, I had to create a funnel, an email list and have the ability to get paid for pre-launch purchases.

Setting up your accounts

Before you can integrate all this, you’ll need a few things.

A funnel software creator, an email list provider and a payment gateway.

If you already have those, great, if not, this is what I use and you can too.

Awesome – now you have a chrome extension software to launch (same applies for a new course), what’s next?

Actually, you can do this even before the software (or course) is ready.

That’s what I’m doing.

I’m doing a pre-launch which you should still use a funnel for.

What’s a pre-launch?

With pretty much anything online these days, you’ll want a funnel.

Personally, I’ve been using Click Funnels for a few months and am starting to get good with it.

If you don’t have it yet, I’d love to help you out – get a free 14 day trial at http://cf.jeansergegagnon.com and message me if you have questions.

Ok, so a pre-launch…

It might seem obvious, but let’s clarify it so we’re on the same page.

Yes, it’s about launching before you have the software or product available.

The difference between a launch and a pre-launch is really just that.

Why a pre-launch?

One of the most amazing things about software or course pre-launches...

If you’re living under a rock or this is the first time you hear about me, you wouldn’t know how excited I was about this.

Just a few weeks ago I started my journey to my own Chrome Extension business.

I’m so excited because it’s a super simple process and I’m already getting my extension done.

I was able to hire a programmer for just $100!

What is a Chrome Extension?

In case you don’t know what a Chrome Extension is, let’s explain that.

Chrome is the program you use to browse the web.

It’s similar to Microsoft Edge or Explorer, to Safari or Firefox but it allows you to add functionality by installing Extensions.

Chrome Extensions are a tiny pieces of software that do little tasks for you.

They can:

- Capture your screen and save a video or image of it.

- Download videos from web sites.

- Show definitions of words when you mouse over them

- Automatically reply to Facebook messages

- Gather comments in posts to save to a...

Now that you have a Facebook group setup for your challenge, you need to get people into it.

Of course, you’ll want to invite people, have conversations with them and possibly setup ads to promote it.

But you’re just one person.

Sure, if you have a huge following, it might be easy for you.

But, there is a better way.

How to get others to promote your challenge?

Just like anything amazing in life, your friends might want to tell their friends about your challenge because it’s so amazing.

If it is the case, then wonderful and you have amazing friends that do that out of the kindness of their heart.

What if, like everyone, they have more interest in their results?

Maybe they are worried about you stealing their friends if they invite them.

You have to give them a reason to promote it.

They all know you have something to sell at the end.

If you’re a warm blooded human marketer, you’re going to have something to offer at the end of your...

Yesterday, we talked about what you need to have a successful Facebook 5 day challenge.

Part of that is getting people in your challenge.

Without anyone, it’s not the best although there is something to be said for practice.

Getting people into your challenge can be as simple as inviting them but we’ll talk about longer term goals here.

Inviting people to your challenge

Even though we start with a discussion on inviting people, keep in mind this is the most basic way to go.

It’s still a very valid way to do it and you can certainly start with that.

As a matter of fact, that’s how I did my first challenges.

I would post that I was having one, with the topic and what they’d learn and just invite those who commented.

You can also simply have conversations with people you think could be interested and leave it at that.

What not to do

Before moving on the the next things you will want to setup, let’s cover what not to do.

You might be...

If you’ve been online building a business for any length of time, then you’ve seen or heard of Challenges.

The most popular challenge on Facebook is usually a 5 day challenge.

Right now, I’m going though a 30 day challenge called the OFA (or One Funnel Away) Challenge from Russell Brunson and Click Funnels.

Recently, I also participated in the 5 day challenge on building a subscriber based business.

Why 5 days?

I could talk about a 10 day, 15 day, 30 or even 60 day challenge.

Those are all great and if your content isn’t easily digestible in 5 days, you might need to make it longer.

I caution you though as the interest of those who join your challenge gets weaker as time goes on.

Most people can handle a 5 day challenge must more easily.

Also, your content doesn’t need to be delivered in 5 days, you can deliver a part of it.

And what I mean by “part of it”, is not to teach something that will be of no use unless they keep going...

Imagine having your own multi-million dollar software business!

Wouldn’t it be amazing?

Even if you have no programing skills or no business background, it’s possible for you to start with as little as $100!

I am super excited to be starting on that journey myself!

Imagine your own software company

It’ quite the thing to have your own business, but everyone wants a software company.

I mean, it’s low overhead costs once your have the software to sell is a thousand times better than inventory and storage costs.

Imagine owning a t-shirt printing company, you’d need to stock up on a bunch of different colored shirts and sizes.

Or a restaurant with all that goes with staffing and food waste management.

Not to mention a location to store any stock or receive customers.

With a software company, you don’t need any of that.

You can sell it at $10, $1000 or $10000 and it just costs you pennies to copy and send to customer!

It’s the best...

It’s official, I’m in the chrome boss elite program!

If you don’t know what that is, it’s a program by Kim C. Dang that teaches your how to generate full time income from your very own software business.

I have no idea if it will be open when you read this but she’s given me the okay to teach it myself too as I go along.

Can you really have your own software company?

It’s funny how things change even though they are exactly the same, isn’t it?

I must have listened to Russell Brunson’s book Expert Secrets 20 times by now but today, I heard something new.

I always thought I should build a software company like his click funnels software, so I build click ecourse and I’m still working on features after 2 years.

Anyway, what I heard today was that he started with a simple software that he paid some developer from Russia $125 (I think he said) and started selling it.

You can do this too! You don’t need to be a programmer!

It’s pretty obvious that we are all (well almost all) in it to make money.

We create courses to sell them and generate income.

Why would anyone read “course income secrets” if it’s not to make money, right?

I know, I know, it’s not just about making money.

Why making money isn’t enough

As much as we all need money to make the world go round, doing something just for the money is doomed to failure.

There’s lots of reasons for that, one of which some would say is voodoo, and that’s the law of attraction.

Others call it the science of quantum physics.

No matter if you believe it or not, it’s hard to argue with the statistics.

95-99% of business fail unless their primary goal is helping others.

What does helping others have to do with it?

Well, I’m not going to go into crazy philosophical or spiritual discussions but suffice it to say that if you’re only in it for you, many forces out there will try real hard for you to...
