So let’s look at the 7 steps to creating a sales funnel because when put together properly it can be a powerful tool.

1. Your first Step
Creating a successful sales funnel requires you to answer this question, who are you today and who do you want to be tomorrow?
2. Identify Your Target Market
You can waste a lot of time if you do not know who your target market is and how to relate to them.  Who are the right people and what is it they are looking for?  A functioning sales funnel will help you target YOUR market. You need to prospect those that you relate to. Then you can proficiently target them. When you are communicating on the same level you’ll enjoy success.

3. Setting up a Capture Page
Once you know who you are you also know who the right target market is, and you won’t have any trouble creating a strong capture page. Make sure your headline shows your personality and what people need to know about you. The heart of any sales funnel is to find common ground and then work from there.

4. Creating a Sales Page
The sales page should continue with the same theme as the capture page. It’s here where you’ll have to make some decisions. If you can narrow down your prospects by running a very targeted campaign you can save yourself time. Planning your campaign from beginning to the end will help you significantly improve your conversion rate.

5. Your Newsletter
Once you have your first 4 steps in place, you need to plan your newsletter  before you start campaign one. Provide information that educates and tells those receiving the newsletter why to choose you. Target your newsletter in the same manner you target other traffic.

6. Advertising
You must have a complete understanding of the sales funnel strategy. Of course, you can learn through trial and error or by reading a lot of excellent material that’s already been written. Make sure your advertising is very clickable. You don’t want your targeted audience to even stop and think about it for a second. You want them to click through.

7. The Campaign
Now you are ready for your campaign. Of course, without targeted traffic you have no campaign and no sales. While there is plenty more to building a successful sales funnel, these seven steps will get you started onto your road to success.
