Enkahnz Shared: Is There Anyone That Uses Sales Funnels to Drive Traffic to Your Business

Enkahnz: I see a lot of people searching for that.
I get a lot of questions for it.
So what do I want to do is I want to go through what exactly is a Click Funnel.

So if we take a look at what, what is a sales funnel?
A funnel is a sales process where you attract people with marketing to a series of pages that walk them through the process to buy your product or service from awareness to interest to decision to taking action.(Enkahnz)

So a funnel is a sales process.
A click funnel is the software that runs in the background to create that sales process from your landing page to your offer page, to your order page, and then the subsequent pages in the followup marketing.
But ClickFunnels is actually designed and built and invented by Russell Brunson and his team at ClickFunnels.

Click Funnels is a software that's about three and a half years old and it's really taken over how we design the process of selling online.
So what we've had in the past is websites that were built like brochures.
Brochure websites are where you go and there's a lot of different things for people to click on and get more information.
But what do we really want to do as business owners?
We want to provide solutions to people's problems.
And in today's day and age, people want to get their information quickly and decide whether it's worth it to shell out the money to buy that solution to their problem.
And that's what a sales funnel does so effectively.
What we as online marketers have done for years is try to cobble together sals pages by using a lot of different programmers and coders and different softwares like email follow up and trackers and things like that.

Russell had his company and his designers put all of that into one software package, so let's actually take a look at the software.

The sales funnel process.
So first you have a landing page.
The main goal of the landing page is just to collect some information so you can follow up with a prospect because you now have identified them as having some sort of problem that they need a solution for.
Then once we do that, we take them to the next page.

Which is the offer page.
The offer page is where we identify this person has a problem, you have the solution.
We explain to them why our solution is the best solution.
Show that other people bought our solution and liked it.
Then give people one thing to do.
Either buy it or leave the webpage.(Enkahnz)

Then once they click buy now, then we take them to an order page.
The only function of the order page is to get credit card information.
No selling.
The selling is done.
All we need to do is collect the credit card information and then what we can do to make your sales more effective is offer another product that's similar to the product they just purchased for what we call a order bump.
So in other words, without leaving the order page, they can actually select another product to purchase from me.
That increases the value of that customer in the sales process that didn't exist in any other software and that's something that click funnels has designed into it automatically.
So people put in their credit card one time and then they can get the product that they wanted.
Then you can actually have them add a similar product that would benefit them from the product that just they just purchased from you.
Then once you have that, and what we've discovered with the order bump is about 20 to 30% of the people actually take that add on product.

And once they go through that process, whether they add the bump or not and they click buy now.
Then instead of checking them out, what we can do is we can actually take them to another product to upsell them.
So again, we're trying to generate as much money as possible and to take people through a process to solve their problem with the product or service that you have.
Now what happens if they don't take the upsell?
Did they say... "No, I don't want it."
Do we just say thank you very much?
No.
What we do is for the 30% of people that take the up sell, that's great, but then they're set in 65 to 70% of the people that don't.

Well then what we can do instead of sending them to the thank you page is send them to a down sell page.

So in other words, instead of buying our $997 service, we can actually say, well, we have a beginner program and for $97 you might want to start a little bit slower.
And what we've discovered is anywhere from 15 to 25% of people will actually take the down sell if they didn't take the ups off.
But remember they've already purchased the main product and many buy the order bump.
So once they go to the down sell page, if they take that, then they can go to the thank you page.

Now here's the genius of the whole thing.(Enkahnz)
Instead of having multiple different pieces of software, what Russell and his team did was put all the pieces together.

Once you collect their information, let's say somebody comes to a landing page and goes to the offer page but doesn't buy.
That happens about 90% of the time for any product or service.

What we can then do with our system, because does is it puts all these people into an email Smartlist.
An Email Smartlist is not just an email database like you would have with a lot of other email providers, but a smart list.
So now if somebody didn't purchase from us.
We can actually send them to a another list and send them an email sequence one, two, three or four to encourage them to buy.
Now people are going through a sales process.
If they don't buy, well then, we can send them to another series of emails, whether it's the same product and explaining it a different way.
Or maybe you want to offer a similar product that might be your affiliate product that would solve the problem.
Or if somebody actually purchased off the first email, the Smartlist will actually remove them from the database and they won't get the sequence, the follow up sequence.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: How Do You Market To Millennials?

Enkahnz: Trends come and go in marketing, and it's not always easy to connect with your target audience unless you really understand what motivates them.

Who Are Millennials?

Generation Y, also commonly referred to as Millennials, are people born roughly between 1982 and the mid-1990s, reaching the age of 18 between 2000 and 2008. There are about 75 million of them, equal or slightly higher than the number of baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964).(Enkahnz)

Technology

Millennials are typically tech-savvier than previous generations, though not as adept as Gen Z, their younger counterparts. They are the last generation to grow up as non-natives to technology such as the internet and smartphones - as compared with Gen Z, who can't imagine a world without them.

Marketing

Millennials have been raised with TV and internet marketing, so they are going to be more skeptical of what they see and will not usually respond to many of the traditional marketing and sales pitches.

Lifestyle

Millennials are much more racially and ethnically diverse than previous generations, though that can lead to some opinionated pushback and bias compared with Gen Z, who are generally not as prejudiced and want everyone to get along.(Enkahnz)

Millennials enjoy TV, including cable, satellite radio, the internet, e-zines, and some social media, usually Facebook and Twitter. They have a less material possessions accumulated and many are not married and have no children. This trend is most likely because of going to college and then having the burden of paying back a large amount of student loans.

It has been tough economically for Millennials who came of age in the middle of the huge recession of 2008. This made them cautious about getting into debt. If they do want to buy something, they will comparison shop and demand good value.(Enkahnz)

Employment, and Accumulated Wealth

As a result of the economic downturn just at the point where they were coming of age or graduating from college, Millennials have found it hard to enter the workplace. Some still live with their parents out of economic necessity or just plain comfort. They don't have nearly the amount of spending power that boomers do.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: The Impact Of COVID-19 On Search Trends And SEO

Enkahnz: For the last two months, the whole SEO community has been talking about the latest COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and its impact on organic traffic and performance. It has been seen that there has been a significant dip in the organic performance of websites across different verticals. And at the same time, there are also many verticals where a notable rise in organic traffic is observed. There are various new Search Engines Results Page (SERP) features that one can see emerging on different search engines such as Google.(Enkahnz)

With the rising nervousness and uncertainties in the economy due to the COVID-19, there have been drastic effects on different businesses and industries. Many industry experts stated that significant changes in the organic traffic, as well as revenues, were seen from 12th to 16th March 2020.

One of the interesting developments of the pandemic has been that the result page of Google has started stimulating many new panels related to 'coronavirus'. These panels provide users with information and data related to the disease. The content is generally taken from the website of the World Health Organization (WHO), which is the Centre for Disease Control, and many other local government bodies.(Enkahnz)

Google has also started displaying an 'SOS Alert' panel to indicate a state of emergency across the globe. This is one of the most effective ways to address the COVID-19 emergency online and create a sense of urgency among the users. Another interesting SERP feature is when a user searches for something related to 'coronavirus' the safety tips that need to be followed during this crisis is displayed on Google. These tips showcase a video that instructs the searchers on how to wash hands properly or how to sanitise them along with other tips taken from the WHO website.

Additionally, an 'Affected Area' panel is also displayed, which shows the areas that have been affected by this pandemic on a world map. One can easily see on this map how the pandemic is spreading across the world and its density in different regions of the globe.

Moreover, before other organic results related to the search are displayed, Google also shows a 'symptoms' panel where one can quickly check out the common symptoms of COVID-19. This list of symptoms is also pulled from the WHO website.(Enkahnz)

How Will Coronavirus Affect The Trends Long-Term?

COVID-19 is being termed as one of the biggest trends in Google's search history. People are not only searching for information related to coronavirus, but national leaders such as Narendra Modi and Donald Trump are also looking at the information related to the stock market.

Long-tail keywords have also started gaining much importance. For instance, Pandemic vs epidemic, are there any test centres in my area, best movies/series to watch in quarantine, is there any shop open, and much more like that!

Such types of searches can put the marketers under a lot of pressure as one needs to be careful and thoughtful while finding the correct target keyword and creating a proper and effective strategy.

It is also possible that search queries related to COVID-19 would continue for a long time along with combination searches such as future banking, how will travelling reopens, future of schools post COVID-19, and much more like that!

How Should Businesses and SEOs Respond at this time?

As the number of people working from home has increased more than ever, a daily commute to work is no longer a necessity. Businesses and SEOs also have more time now to formulate and execute their digital marketing strategies. Whether it is creating content for a sanitiser and mask brand or an SEO marketing plan for a global media agency, here is enough time to plan and develop digital marketing strategies.

According to various experts, businesses and websites should stay ahead of the curve and apply different ideas and techniques to keep the website updated as well as optimised.

Since the level of competition after this pandemic is expected to rise, it is the right time for businesses to partner with best digital marketing agencies in India such as Arm Worldwide to be prepared with their digital marketing strategies in order to rank business websites higher than the competitors.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: Why Lower Your Car?

Enkahnz: Have you seen some cars driving around that look lower than stock? They may have had a suspension lowering kit installed.

Why would someone want to lower their car? There are a couple of reasons. The first is that it might make the car handle better, and the second is that some people believe that it makes the car look better.(Enkahnz)

Let's take a closer look at the first reason, better handling. To understand a little be about handling it is important to grasp the concept of "center of gravity". Imagine that you could suspend a car by a cable attached to the top of the roof. You want to place the end that attaches to the roof at some point so that when suspended the car is level. That is, it does not tip to the front or rear, or to the left or right. Now imagine that there is a line from the roof straight through to the bottom of the car.

Now let's image that we turn the car on its side, and suspend it again with a cable attached to some place on one of the doors. Again we move the cable around until the car is level on its side. That is it does not tip towards the front or rear, and does not tip to the roof or floor. Again pretend that there is a line through the car that comes out the opposite door.(Enkahnz)

The last step is to picture where the two lines, from the roof through the floor, and the line through the doors. Where the two lines intersect is the "center of gravity". This is the point where the mass of the car is balanced in all directions.

OK, after that long explanation, let's see why the center of gravity or CG point is important. If you could lower the center of gravity on a car you would find that the car is steadier and you have a smoother ride. The car would also tend to roll less when you went around a curve. In one respect it is less "tippy."(Enkahnz)

Let's imagine one more time. Picture a stack of books. The more books you pile on, the more apt the entire stack is to fall over. This can be compared to a car's roll. The lower the center of gravity is like a shorter stack of books, which has fewer tendencies to tip over.

If you take a look at race cars, they are low to the ground for several reasons, chief among them being lowering the center of gravity, improves the cornering ability.

A suspension lowering kit then lowers your center of gravity, which can improve handling. It also makes the car look lower and resemble a race car instead of a stock car.

However, like other car modifications, too much of what seemed a good think can cause problems. You really don't want to lower a stock car more than an inch or inch and a half. If you do, the body can contact the tires and lead to other problems.(Enkahnz)

Enkahnz Shared: The Two Options To Get Started With Radio Controlled Car Action

Enkahnz: One of the more thrilling and durable hobbies in which one can partake in his radio control car action. For people who enjoy speed, competition, or just have a passion for cars and having fun, RC car action is a great activity to consider. Now to get started in RC car action. Local hobby store and look for gas powered or not grow radio controlled cars. You will find a myriad of options from which to choose in all price ranges.(Enkahnz)

You can either purchase ready to run, or RTR car, radio controlled cars that are pre-built and can be raced right out of the box. For the more hands-on hobbyists, RC car action comes in do-it-yourself kits which allow you to build your own gas powered or Nitro kart. Some cars can get up into the $500 range for the high-end models. Some of the top radio controlled cars can top 70 mph. Can you just imagine racing her car at that speed? If thrilling just thinking about it.(Enkahnz)

Just like a real automobile, RC cars require a certain amount of ongoing maintenance. For example, you'll need to fill up the car with gas or replace the batteries in the controller. Might even have to replace the tires every so often. Every time you take your car out to race, or just play with. You want to make sure you do preventative maintenance on the car so that it will not deteriorate over time.

When building a remote-controlled car from a do-it-yourself kit. You will find that it could be both fun and educational. As you build your car, you begin to see how the different components fit and work together as a unit. If something should go wrong with the car, you will be more likely to be able to fix the problem, or the Spielberg diagnose it so you can swap out the correct parts. Most do-it-yourself kits contain high-quality parts for the high end market.(Enkahnz)

Many RC enthusiasts like to upgrade and customize their car to fit their specific preferences. There are many modifications, you can make to an RC car. One would be changing out the motor. Another might be adding an extra large gas tank. There are so many modifications that can be made with the tires chassis and you name it that I cannot list them all in this short article.

For beginners just starting out with RC cars, you may wish to stick with a ready to run car. The ready to run car were not allow you to experience actually building the car and customizing will be harder back. You will be able to race quickly.(Enkahnz)
