That’s how far below the radar this platform is currently.
The big platforms are getting all the spotlights and promotions from people you might trust, but some are fooling you.
They might even fool Penn and Teller, but I think they’d spot the trick.
The magical misdirection that hides what is really going on.
Don’t look at what my right hand is doing while I wave my left hand in your face.
Stop searching for a platform built by a marketer who uses it rather than a marketer who sells it.
You know that most of those who promote the big-name sites also have a few funnels there, but that isn’t what they use for their main sites.
When there are significant commissions to be made, the promotions come thick and fast.
You may have seen some of the webinars and fake videos that pretend to show you how fast you can get a site ranking when you use this platform.
One I saw showed what was claimed to be a new domain name ranking in hours.
I checked, the domain name was two years old and had a previous website that ranked, so changing it to the “new” platform didn’t make it rank.
That was a blatant lie to encourage unsuspecting people to sign up for a free account that would later cost them $1,200 a year and pay the promoter $700 for the fraud.
Systeme.io does have an affiliate program, and if you join through my link, https://go.wm-tips.com/systeme, I’ll get a commission of 40% of your subscription.
It’s a lot less than $700, and you get a system that works.
Plus, you can also become an affiliate and promote this tool.
In reality, most are either really crappy or pretty poor at what they are supposed to do for you.
The price isn’t a determination of how good they are either.
Whichever funnel builder you may have, you probably already know its limitations, and they all have them.
Sometimes you can work around those limitations, and sometimes you have to live with them.
I have accounts with multiple funnel builders.
Some I’ve paid for, some I got free access, and some I pay for monthly.
Most of those accounts don’t see me from one year to the next because they are too hard to do anything useful with.
I use Convertri for most of my funnels because it’s a great platform.
I can create pretty much any page I want, import any page I want, and it builds pages that load really, really fast.
But, it still has limitations.
It doesn’t integrate fully with all the autoresponders I use, forcing me to retain an account that I would rather close and stop paying for.
I can’t set up a drip sequence in Convertri easily, it can be done, but it’s a real pain to do.
It does integrate very well with ProductDyno, which is expensive, but that product does do drip sequences really well.
What ProductDyno doesn’t do well is allow you to edit the pages and get the layout how you want.
Plus, ProductDyno is not a reliable platform.
Every time they upgrade, something breaks, and things don’t work for a day or a week while they sort it out.
I tried Clickfunnels and Groove, both of them are very poor in page building and loading speed despite the recent fluff about how good they are.
I had a paid account with NewZenler that I have downgraded to free because their emails don’t get good delivery, and there are elements of their pages that I cannot customise.
There are others that I won’t mention because they don’t deserve it.
After using all of these tools, I now know what I need in a page building platform, and I assume you will also need these things now or later.
You can make money building your pages and funnels in many of these, but it’s not only about building the pages or funnels.
It’s about making it easier for you.
Having more tools at your disposal to simplify your online activities.
Seamlessly integrating those tools, so things just work.
Getting your emails delivered.
Being able to get paid and paying your affiliates.
Delivering your product in secure ways, setting up drip campaigns that work.
Flexibility with page creation using templates or building from scratch.
Being able to identify which subscribers are buyers and which are not easily.
Not being charged for the same subscriber multiple times because they happen to be in multiple lists, but still being able to segment them and email them separately.
I’m happy to report that I have found a page/funnel builder that does all this and more.
It’s still pretty new and not getting the promotion it deserves, mainly because the commissions paid to affiliates are relatively low.
Unlike Groove, where the commissions are extraordinary.
Did you think all that promotion to get Groove for free was because those promoting thought it was a great platform?
Not so.
They thought the commissions were great when those who joined for free discovered that some of the stuff they needed to make the funnels work was on the other side of an expensive paywall.
However, this one gives you full access for free to test it out thoroughly before you commit.
Yes, there are limitations to your free account.
Still, you can build a fully functioning funnel, take payment, deliver the product, recruit affiliates, build a subscriber list and email them with a sequence or broadcasts.
I have not seen anything like this available for free.
… you don’t have to pay for any software to make them.
I’ll give you the link in a moment, but first, let me talk about why they are so hot now.
Flip books are enhanced PDFs.
Basically, they allow the reader to turn the pages rather than scroll down, so it looks more like an actual book than a word document.
I’m a bit of a Luddite regarding some of these so-called enhancements.
I use a saying that my family have become very, very tired of me repeating.
“Because I can, not because I should.”
This phrase, for me, encapsulates many of the silly things that programmers, and other people, do to ‘improve’ a product or website.
MIT had a saying that reflects similar sentiments.
They used to say that no program is complete until it can send emails.
There is no reason not to create a flip book while the end-users think they are better than a standard PDF, but there is also no good reason to buy a tool to do that when there is a free one that will do the job as well or better.
My favourite graphics tool will create images, videos, and flip books.
In 1989 David Bendah was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine.
The article’s title was David Bendah, The Prince of Get Rich Quick.
I’ll give you a link to the article in a bit, but first, let’s dig out some gold that’s still relevant in 2022 for Internet Marketers.
David Bendah sold ‘Get Rich Quick’ books by mail order from his company Lion Publishing.
He had over 80 titles and spent a million a year on ads, profitably.
First nugget:- he didn’t worry about making a profit from the initial sales because he knew that he would make “back door profits” from further the sales to the same person.
Second nugget:- he knew most people wouldn’t use the information he provided, but that wasn’t his problem.
Third nugget:- he shares his story of ‘rags-to-riches’ which increases the empathy people have with him and improves sales.
Fourth nugget:- test marketing is crucial for success.
Fifth nugget:- most people won’t activate their guarantee, no matter how good it is, because they’re saving the books for a rainy day.
Sixth nugget:- you don’t have to be smart, educated, motivated, or have money to become rich. You just need one good idea.
Seventh nugget:- the titles are the key.
OK, that’s enough.
You’ll have to read the article to find the rest, but the whole piece is fascinating.
P.S. The gurus selling magic buttons on Warriorplus and JVZoo are doing the same thing David Bendah was doing back in 1989 with one difference.
Mostly their stuff doesn’t work.
They rely on people not trying the methods out and not refunding, and they are right.
I’m convinced you could sell any software you knew didn’t work and would make money.
Refund those who complain, probably less than 10%.
This is entirely unethical, probably fraudulent, and I wouldn’t do it, but I know it would sell and be profitable.
Don’t do that, OK?
Instead, create a product that does solve a problem people have.
Sell it hard using the same methods of the gurus because they work.
Alternatively, if you don’t think you have the skill to create a product like that, you could make an excellent income by outing the crap from the gurus.
