Sales Funnel Mastery
How to turn social media attention into cold-earned cash.
Estimated Reading Time: (5-7 minutes)
The internet (and especially social media)…
Is full of complex, messy advice on how to build income online.
People tend to overcomplicate how do you let people know about your stuff.
There are 4 things you gotta do to make money:
Promote your business.
↓↓↓↓
Get tons of leads.
↓↓↓
Sell your product
↓↓
And collect cash.
There is a level of mastery on each one.
But here's the thing:
You can have a decent amount of knowledge on all of them…
And still make money.
That's why today…
I want to show you my dead-simple 5-step sales funnel.
This is the same sales funnel that allowed me to:
Grow to a total audience of 4000 followers across multiple platforms
Grow my newsletter to 600+ subscribers
Bringing 2 to 4 appointments a week to my business.
This is with no ads.
No reach-outs.
Just content.
To prove my point…
My entire business plan can be drawn down on a piece of paper.
This is the same strategy I use to turn attention into $$$
Let’s break down how it works.
Warning: This is a very long framework, I recommend sitting down, getting rid of all distractions, and fully focusing on understanding the key principles of what makes a Sales Funnel.
This is all you need to know about Sales Funnels - the ultimate resource!
I’m giving all of this information for free…
So you don't need to pay thousands of dollars for coaching, courses, or digital products.
Step 1: Post Good Content
When I write, I don’t try to be original or trendy.
I just talk about the same stuff every single day.
To do this I make sure that all my content falls inside 1 of my topic categories:
Marketing
Copywriting
Sales Funnel
Audience Building
On top of that, I have built a 90-day content backlog.
In simple terms:
I have a library of posts, ready-to-go, worth 90 days of content.
Then I see what it works → Repurpose
And what doesn't → Replace
For the ones that didn't perform I develop new posts around the topic.
And I always keep the winners.
Soon enough you will have a library of winning posts that go viral every single time.
You might ask yourself…
What makes a winning post?
That depends.
What is your avg. in likes and comments?
For example:
I tend to have an avg. of 40 likes and 10 comments per post.
The ones that outperform that metric → Goes in bucket 1
The ones that underperform → Goes in bucket 2
If you want to go deeper into this topic…
I have a complete content creation system already developed.
Here is the link:
Half an hour after I share a piece of content…
I post a reply with my CTA.
For this strategy, I take 2 routes:
If the topic of the post resembles one of my articles:
I share a custom article CTA
Example:
Having a good content creation system is key if you want to grow a massive following.
Here is an article of how I built mine:
[Link]
If the post offers a more general advice:
I share the newsletter CTA.
Example:
P.S. Want to go deeper?
I talk about this stuff all the time in my newsletter.
Here you can get [benefit] every [time period]
Join right here:
[Link]
The purpose of this step is to turn your rented audience (social media)
Into your owned audience (email list)
Why?
Because the people in your email list…
Have a higher probability of making a purchase.
You can see the funnel this way:
Posts: Cold Traffic
Email List: Warm Traffic
Product: Hot Traffic
Step 3: Link To Product (In The Article)
Many people assume that the transition from:
Content → Sales → $$$
Has to be complex.
I’m here to show you that is not.
You can take my newsletter as an example.
In these articles…
I often include a link to one of my services.
I know entrepreneurs doing $10k/month with nothing more than:
Good content
A strong landing page
A well-priced product & service
A simple way to accept payments
That’s literally it.
This tactic gives the readers an opportunity to take action in the most non-sales way.
It falls as the next natural step to fixing their problem.
And as a consequence…
You get more sales.
Step 4: Ask to Buy
The goal is to make it as easy as possible for them to purchase.
When readers click on one of my links, my landing pages are simple and direct.
At this moment in time, I'm only offering free consultations.
My product and marketing offer will launch soon.
In the meantime…
Here's a clear checklist to follow.
Your prospects need to know:
What’s inside
What to expect
How much it costs
What problem it solves
And what other people think about the product.
Straight to the point.
Then I make sure it’s easy to buy by placing CTAs (calls-to-action):
In the nav bar
In the hero section
And at the end of the page.
You can place more than that, but these are the bare minimum.
Step 5: Deliver
My end goal isn’t just to make a sale.
Never has been.
It’s to blow up the minds of my customers with more value than they ever expected.
It’s to take someone from skeptical to ecstatic in less than 90 minutes.
My sales funnels tend to be around $5,000 to $10,000.
I make sure to give that value back 10x over.
Remember, when someone buys something from you…
They’re spending their money AND their time.
Make it worth it.
Ultimate Action List
If you forget everything in this article, remember this checklist:
Step 1: Post Good Content
Define your topic categories.
Create a 90-day content backlog.
Keep a library of winning posts that consistently go viral.
Step 2: CTA to Newsletter
Post a reply with a call-to-action (CTA) half an hour after sharing content.
If the post relates to one of your articles, share a custom article CTA.

Step 3: Link To Product (In The Article)
Include links to your products or services within your articles.
Keep the transition from content to sales simple and non-salesy.
Step 4: Ask to Buy
Make it easy for readers to purchase by using clear and direct landing pages.
Place CTAs strategically throughout the landing page.
Step 5: Deliver
Provide more value than expected to blow the minds of your customers.
Make the customer's investment of time and money worth it.
