This episode marks a new direction for the Fit Funnel Guys. Now we are going to share the struggles we’ve gone through as entrepreneurs so you can learn from our experiences. We are always going to be talking about how to improve your online business through tech, funnels, and all that. But those things are just a few parts of the entrepreneurial world and it would be a disservice to you if we didn’t share the whole package with you.

Our support systems have made all the difference for us. We found ours in Mastermind groups. Go out there and find one for yourself. Take control of your life and just do it. If you don’t, you’ll never be able to make the impact that you want.

If there’s anything you want us to talk about in upcoming episodes, including funnels or anything about the entrepreneurial journey (especially partnerships), shoot us a DM on Instagram and we will absolutely talk about it in a future episode.

Thank you pages are short and simple but don’t make the mistake of underestimating their importance and potential. Just because your prospect has made a purchase doesn’t mean you can pack up and go home.

The purpose of thank you pages is to deliver a fantastic post-sale experience so the customer knows exactly what to do next. This your opportunity to make a great first impression on what it’s like to buy from you so they want to do it over and over again. If you do this right, you might just have a customer for life.

Upsells are your chance to capitalize on buyer’s high and strike while the iron is hot. If you don’t have a fully-fledged funnel with upsells, downsells, and order bumps, you’re going to be leaving a lot of money on the table.

Every upsell needs to be treated a little bit differently. We discuss how to structure your offers on the levels of your entire funnel and each step of the upsell flow, going into psychology and page design as always. (For the first time ever, we didn’t mention anything about mobile optimization but that doesn’t make it any less important!)

Writing your own copy and don’t know where to start? Check out our copy structure template that we’ve gotten from great copywriters and have seen work time and time again.

We also talk about personal fitness: where we are now and what our goals are in the near future.
